NovelEnglishQuinn's lips pressed into a thin line, a silent admission that she couldn't accept the situation at face value. As
she lay there, Ariel's absence was a glaring reminder of the harsh reality. The mounting hospital bills were left
unattended, a stark contrast to the reassurances that everything was alright.
Juliet's voice broke through her thoughts, "You're here now. Don't you have to return? Won't Alexander be
furious?"
Quinn pushed the thought aside. She was already at the hospital, and if not for this visit, Juliet's fate might have
been different. Shaking her head, she offered Juliet a comforting glance. "It's okay, don't worry."
Yet, how could it be okay? Alexander's threat lingered in her mind. She wasn't certain if he was merely trying to
intimidate her, but Quinn had an inkling that he was serious.
"I'll wait until your IV is done, then I'll arrange for a nurse to look after you," Quinn offered.
Juliet waved her hands dismissively. "No need, no need. Don't squander money on that. At my age, I'm just
grateful you came. | was just pondering, if | passed away without seeing you one last time, could I rest in peace?
But now I'm relieved; I've let go of all my worries."
Quinn's eyes welled up at Juliet's words. Despite their lack of blood relation, in that moment, they felt like family,
their bond transcending the conventional definition of kinship. They were both people without a home, and only
those who've experienced such loss could truly comprehend each other's sorrow and suffering.
"Okay, Quinn, no more tears. Grandma's happy to see you. You should be happy too." Juliet extended a hand,
attempting to wipe away Quinn's tears.

With a sniffle, Quinn lifted her hand, roughly brushing away her tears, and managed a small smile.
Juliet reciprocated the smile, "Such a good kid."
Yet, their smiles were laced with an underlying bitterness.
"I'm not a good kid," Quinn confessed. "If | were, you wouldn't be here. I'm sorry, Juliet."
"Don't apologize. You've done so well. I'm truly grateful." Juliet's words were a soothing balm, a whispered
promise.
"Quinn, you will be happy. I'll bless you."
Quinn's tears flowed harder. She shook her head frantically, gesturing, "I don't need your blessings. | just want
you to get well."
Juliet offered a sad smile, unable to make such a promise. Their hands clung to one another tightly, but Quinn
had to leave, her tears a constant reminder of the painful reality.
She rose to her feet, wiping her tears, and poured a glass of water for Juliet. Then she set out to find a nurse.
Ensuring Juliet was taken care of was the only thing she could do.
The hospital offered a range of nursing services, with prices varying from a hundred to five hundred a day. Quinn
managed to find a reasonably priced caregiver, costing around three hundred a day. After making the payment,
she relayed sinstructions to the caregiver.
"Don't worry, miss, everything will be fine," the caregiver assured her.
Quinn finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
