In fact, Xavier had already sensed it the moment Simon drove the car over.As the car approached them, he immediately pushed Quinn out of harm's way. Even though he could have avoided the car, a glint in his eyes betrayed a different intention. He deliberately slowed his movements, allowing the car to strike him."Xavier?"Having been pushed, Quinn stumbled forward. After taking a few steps to steady herself, she turned around and saw Xavier lying on the ground.Upon witnessing Xavier being knocked to the ground, Simon's eyes blazed with madness."I'll run you over. I'll definitely kill you," he mumbled incoherently.Kimberly's face immediately turned pale. It was her first time seeing Simon behave this way in the five years they had been together. .Simon, a man accustomed to having the world at his feet, could effortlessly attain anything he set his sights on.As a result, he had never seemed particularly passionate about anything, except for the research institute. However
Xavier couldn't help but sneer. Did Simon actually think Quinn still had feelings for him?How could he have had such an inflated ego?If Quinn wasn't interested in Xavier, there was no way she would be interested in a loser like Simon.Upon seeing this, Kimberly immediately got out of the car. After all, Simon was her fiancé, so she couldn't bear to see him being assaulted."Release him, Quinn!" Kimberly exclaimed as she grabbed Quinn's hand.With Kimberly coming to his aid, Simon suddenly felt the urge to fight back. How could Quinn have fallen out of love with him and found affection for someone else?Yet, before his hand could land on Quinn, the man he had thought he had incapacitated grabbed his hand."Anyone who dares to harm her will face my wrath." With that, Xavier socked him in the nose.Simon's nose was fractured and bled heavily after the punch."Stop it, Quinn. Simon's from the Xandor family! How could you—" Kimberly tried to reason with Quinn.However, Quinn sho
Ian immediately went to drive the car over."I'm fine, really. I just need to rest a couple of days at home. Please don't worry about me. You've got stuff to do, so go ahead and take care of it," Xavier said, his face filled with concern for Quinn."We don't have time for this. We're going to the hospital right now."Even if there were no apparent injuries, getting hit by a car could cause internal injuries.Ian pulled up, got out, and opened the door for both of them."Come on, Xav, let's go to the hospital," Ian said as he reached out to help him get into the car.However, Xavier swatted his hand away to reject his assistance. "I'm alright. I can manage on my own." Despite saying that, he still weakly slumped against Quinn.Quinn had no choice but to help them into the car.Ian was rendered speechless. He wondered if Xavier was actually injured.As soon as they were in the car, Xavier leaned heavily against Quinn's shoulder, a look of discomfort etched on his face.In any c
Moreover, being in the hospital was quite inconvenient. "I don't want to be admitted. I'd rather be home than in the hospital—I hate it here."Xavier detested hospitals more than anything. He felt completely restricted.Quinn rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did you perhaps hit your head in the car accident? Do you really think you have any say in this? You better stay for a couple of days; otherwise, if anything happens to you, you'll have no one but yourself to blame."Ian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xavier being told off by Quinn."What's so funny?" Quinn snapped, irritated by Ian's laughter."I'm sorry, Quinn. I didn't mean to upset you. I'll go handle the admission details." Ian couldn't hold in his laughter any longer, so he quickly left the ward.Xavier probably got himself hit on purpose! Ian couldn't believe he actually went through such lengths to woo Quinn. It seemed that love could truly make one do crazy things.With Daniel's departure, Xavier and Quinn wer
"You want to take a shower?" Quinn asked. Should he even be showering in his current state?Xavier hummed in response and said, "Yeah, I feel uncomfortable."Upon seeing his filthy state, Quinn agreed, saying, "Go ahead and shower then. If you feel any discomfort, call me. I'll be right outside."Given that he was a man, it was inappropriate for her to assist him in showering.Xavier grunted in response and went into the bathroom.Quinn sat on the couch, feeling restless as the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.After a while, she suddenly realized that he probably needed a pair of fresh underwear after showering. Hence, she got up and went to the convenience store downstairs to buy some for him.When she returned and noticed that he was still in the bathroom, she gently knocked on the door and asked, "Xavier? Are you not done yet?"Didn't men usually take quick showers? It had been 20 minutes since he had gone in. Why was he taking so long? Could he have fainted
Quinn hated hospitals. They always reminded her of painful experiences."You take the bed; I'll be fine on the couch," Xavier said as he settled into the couch. As a gentleman, he felt it was only right to offer Quinn the bed."You should sleep in the bed. You're the patient here," Quinn insisted. One was sitting on the couch, while the other stood before it."You should get some rest now. You've had a long day."After flying back from Dudore and working half a day, an unexpected incident had actually happened in the evening. "You take the bed, Xavier," Quinn insisted again."Alright then."Given her stubbornness, Xavier had no choice but to sleep on the bed. Upon seeing Xavier obediently lying down on the bed, Quinn finally settled on the couch."If you feel any discomfort, be sure to call me. I'm going to sleep now."With that, Quinn closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, her tiredness finally overcoming her.Even in her dream, she was in the hospital. She relived the nig
"Good morning." Quinn's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. After all, Xavier's morning wood was quite intense.She wanted to distance herself a bit, not wanting to stay so close to him. However, as she tried to pull away, she nearly fell off the bed. Thankfully, Xavier caught her."Where do you think you're going? It's a normal reaction for men. Take it easy. I'm not going to do anything to you."With him pressing against her, it was impossible for Quinn to remain focused. "Let go of me, Xavier."Xavier immediately released her.Upon seeing her rosy complexion, his mood improved considerably. He couldn't bear to see her looking so weak.Quinn quickly got out of bed. She was rather puzzled by how she ended up on the bed when she had clearly slept on the couch the previous night."How did I end up here?" Quinn complained. It was such a small bed; they were practically squished together like sardines. "I'm as baffled as you are. When I woke up, you were right here, snuggled up ne
"You're free to go home now. Please take it easy at home and come back if you have any problems."Xavier hummed in response. He didn't like being hospitalized and found it quite inconvenient.As soon as Daniel left, Xavier instructed Ian, "Go take care of the discharge procedures. I'll drive Quinn to the company first.""It's okay; I can manage on my own. You should go home and get some rest." Given that Xavier had gotten hit by a car, he needed to be mindful of his condition."I told you, I'm fine. It was a very minor collision.""Very well then." Since he kept insisting that he was fine, she had no choice but to give in. With that, they left the ward together.As they were leaving, they ran into Maurice and Araminta in the corridor.As soon as Maurice spotted Quinn, he rushed toward her, exclaiming, "Are you aware of what you've done? How could you do such a thing?"Because of her, Simon had a broken nose and two fractured ribs. How could she be so brutal?With Maurice fumin
