NovelEnglishAlexander released his grip, and the doctor crumpled to the floor. The doctor took a moment to gather himself,
inhaling deeply to steady his nerves before he began to speak. "Quinn's condition is rather precarious..."
His words hung in the air, unfinished, as Quinn began to stir on the bed. She attempted to sit up, but her
strength failed her halfway, and she fell back onto the mattress. Without waiting for the doctor to continue,
Alexander rushed to her side, offering his support.
"Are you awake?" he asked, gently assisting her to lean against his shoulder.
Quinn's eyes fluttered open, catching a glimpse of Alexander's chiseled jawline. She looked beyond him to the
doctor, who was still sprawled on the floor.
Her throat was parched, probably from crying, and she gestured for a drink. Alexander caught her request and
glanced at the doctor, who immediately understood and scrambled to fetch water for Quinn.
As he waited, Alexander studied Quinn's face. Her lips were pale, and her skin had an almost translucent pallor,
a stark contrast to the doctor's earlier assertion that she was fine.
The doctor returned promptly with a glass of water. Alexander accepted it and passed it to Quinn. "Drink this."
Quinn clutched the glass, drinking the water with such fervor that sof it escaped from the corners of her
mouth, trickling down her neck and soaking into her collar. Alexander reached up to wipe the droplets from her
chin.
Once she finished drinking, Quinn's mind cleared. She looked up at Alexander, realizing their awkwardly intimate
pose. Sensing the tension, the doctor discreetly stepped back, excusing himself from the room.

Alexander's expression darkened as he grasped her wrist and pulled her back.
"What's your problem?" he demanded.
Matching his intense stare with a stubborn one of her own, Quinn retorted, "That's my question to you. What are
you trying to do?
"You're always doing this-imprisoningat the slightest provocation, exploding at me, and then trying to

Alexander paused, his gaze locked on Quinn, momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing his silence, Quinn couldn't tell if she was more angry or hurt, but her eyes began to redden.
Through her teary vision, she implored him, "Tell me, what am 1? Your dog?"
Her gestures, though silent, radiated anger.
As he remained silent, Quinn slid off the bed with her feeble strength and sat on the floor. Then, she shifted to a
kneeling position, clutching at Alexander's pant leg, looking up at him as tears fell like pearls off a string. She
pleaded desperately, "Alexander, please, I'm begging you, letgo or just putout of my misery, will you?

"Even a loyal dog deserves kindness after years of companionship. Can't you just show mercy and release me?"
Her tears flowed like rain, and though silent, her expression screamed of utter grief and despair.
