NovelEnglish"Why are we heading to the hospital?" Sebastian asked, a note of confusion in his voice.
Preston replied with a pragmatic tone, "It's about money, dude. | covered her medical expenses and | need to
recoup that. What else are we supposed to survive on?" Sebastian found himself unable to counter Preston's
logic and simply nodded in agreement.
The car veered abruptly, taking a sharp turn onto a different road.
Upon their arrival at the hospital, they found that Quinn was still unconscious. Her face was hidden behind an
oxygen mask, a thin layer of condensation fogging the clear plastic.
Preston leaned over her, his gaze lingering on her obscured face, but he could discern nothing.
After a seemingly interminable half-hour, Quinn began to stir.
She inhaled deeply, her eyes fluttering open to reveal a profound exhaustion. She attempted to move her
fingers, but found her strength had abandoned her.
"Bro, she's awake!" Sebastian alerted Preston, who had been on the verge of dozing off in his chair.
Startled, Preston sat upright and dragged his chair closer to the bed, a smile playing on his lips. "Hey, you're
awake?"
Quinn turned to look at him, her vision still hazy. It took her a moment to focus on the young man's face.

His skin was a deep shade, his features sharp and defined. His eyebrows were thick and dark, and his teeth
gleamed white against his complexion when he smiled. Quinn made a feeble attempt to remove her oxygen
mask and sit up, but her body betrayed her.
Under the harsh hospital lights, her skin looked pale, almost translucent. Yet her eyes were dark and luminous.
Preston paused, a question hanging in the air, "Have we met before?"
Quinn also hesitated, studying Preston's face. He seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had
seen him.
Preston shrugged dismissively. "Forget it, | can't remember either. Let's start fresh. I'm Preston, and you are?"
Quinn pressed her lips together, not uttering a word. She simply stared at him and began to sign.
"You don't want to get to know me?" Preston asked, misinterpreting her silence. Quinn gently shook her head,
then raised her hands and began to sign again.
"Ah, you can't speak?" Preston observed her signing, her movements imbued with a certain vulnerability that he
found endearing. "You're like a child," he said, a smile tugging at his lips. Quinn paused, unsure if he had merely
guessed at her meaning or if he truly understood sign language. She signed again: Can you understand me?
Preston nodded. "Yeah, | get it," he said, pulling Sebastian closer. "lI work at a care center with several deaf and
mute kids. I'm their teacher."
Sebastian offered a sheepish smile. "Yes, that's right. The kids at our center really adore him."
