The light in Quinn's eyes gradually dimmed, revealing a wounded expression. She fell silent for a moment, lowering her hand sadly.
Suddenly, Alexander lifted Quinn's face, his palm against her cheek. "Yes." Quinn was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lifted her head, looking at Alexander with joy.
Alexander leaned against the headboard, his face still somewhat pale, almost blending in with the white wall behind him. Yet his eyes were deep.
Alexander put on a faint smile. "You're right, I like you the most." Quinn's tense expression softened at Alexander's words, and a faint smile appeared in her teary eyes. She held Alexander's hand, pressing it against her face even more tightly.

Alexander glanced at the wristwatch on the bedside table. It was half past eleven.
"Csit here." Alexander patted the space on the bed.
Quinn shook her head, gesturing, "No, you're injured. We can't sleep together." "It's fine, cup." Alexander pulled Quinn's hand, just out of surgery. Alexander couldn't exert much force.
Quinn hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat next to Alexander.
Alexander said, "Take off your shoes and lie down." Quinn once again removed her shoes, pulled back the quilt, and seated herself beside Alexander.
Quinn turned her head to meet Alexander's gaze.

Alexander said, "Good girl, it's tto sleep. I promise I won't leave." Whenever Alexander instructed Quinn to behave, she could only obediently comply with his words. These two words seemed to have a powerful hold over her, like a spell he had cast. After scontemplation, Quinn crawled under the quilt. Her eyes remained wide open as she gazed at Alexander, as if she feared he might disappear. Quinn gestured, "Aren't you going to sleep?" Alexander lowered his head, gently stroking her hair, "I just woke up, so I won't sleep." Before Quinn could gesture something, Alexander had already switched off the light with a swift move, and the ward was instantly plunged into darkness. Quinn paused for a moment, then quickly snuggled into Alexander's arms, her arm wrapped around his waist, burying her face in his midriff.
Alexander's clothe smelt like disinfectant, which Quinn didn't particularly enjoy. But she still held him a bit tighter.

He reached into his pocket for his cigarettes, walked over to the window, opened it, and leaned against the fras he lit one up.
The sound of the lighter echoed in the quiet ward. Its light casts a glow on Alexander's face. Holding the cigarette between his fingers, he turned his head to look at the night view outside.
The hospital was on the eighth floor, not high enough to offer a distant view. He could only see the street ve outside the hospital, which was still brightly illuminated at this late hour. Compared to Amber Bay, Sylvadora was too lively. During the winter season, most of the shops in Amber Bay were closed, and the streets were deserted.
The next morning, Kyle brought breakfast over.
However, upon entering, he noticed that Quinn had claimed the hospital bed and was sleeping peacefullyn while Alexander was seated on the sofa, supporting his head with one hand. Alexander opened his eyes when he heard the door open. "Mr. Kennedy..." Kyle stammered. Ads by Pubfuture
