A sudden surge of terror seized Soren, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, causing the pill he held to tumble
onto the ground.
His fear heightened as he swiveled around to find a man looming behind him, his face an icy mask. The man's
eyes bore into Soren, as though attempting to penetrate his very soul. "Why aren't you speaking?" Alexander
asked.
Soren swallowed hard, darting a quick glance at Quinn before he stammered out, "She has a disease that makes
her body cold."
"Is that a disease?"
"Yes," Soren confirmed, "but aside from the chill, Quinn also suffers from a severe uterine disease. If left
untreated, it could prevent her from conceiving in the future."
He wasn't fabricating tales; this was the harsh reality. Quinn was plagued by multiple illnesses, but he had only
disclosed the two least severe ones.
Alexander's voice still didn't reveal any of his emotions as he responded, "Is that so?" Yet, it was this very lack of
emotion that sent chills down Soren's spine.
"Yes, Alexander," he asserted, "I am the most accomplished student my grandfather ever taught. Don't you
believe me?"
After a moment of contemplation, Soren chose to remain silent, deciding to gauge the situation before speaking
further. They were, after all, divorced.
What if Alexander's disdain for Quinn intensified upon learning of her illness?
For the tbeing, Quinn seemed to have put the matter aside. She wouldn't instigate a confrontation, and with

away to answer a phone call.
But before he departed, he instructed Soren, "Cook her a meal."
"Alright..." Soren exhaled a sigh.
Once again, he was to play the role of a chef.
He retrieved the fallen pill, dusted it off with his sleeve, and placed it back into Quinn's hand, whispering, "Take
this quickly."
Quinn nodded, reaching for the glass of water on the table and discreetly swallowing the pill. Upon noticing the
wound on her wrist, her heart fluttered in alarm. She found herself envisioning the cause of the injury.
Perhaps Alexander had discovered her illness, and in a desperate attempt to resist divorce, she had threatened
him by self-harming. This could explain his intense hatred for her, his decision to abandon her among dogs, his
desire to see her dead.
As this realization dawned on her, Quinn was consumed by despair. No wonder he had labeled her as shameless.
Quinn hadn't even been aware of her own audacity. If her assumptions were correct, his hatred was indeed
justified, wasn't it? With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Quinn glanced towards the doorway. It was empty;
Alexander had disappeared. He must have left.
But according to his conversation with Soren, he didn't know about her illness. Then why?
After inspecting the kitchen, Soren departed to purchase groceries. The kitchen had been barren for several
days, devoid of any food. And with Soren's departure, the villa was plunged into silence.
