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
"Enough is enough, Simon! I've been putting up with you for too long! You've been acting so differently since Quinn came back. What's your problem?"They had put in so much effort to get to this point, but the moment Quinn returned, he had become a completely different person.Kimberly seriously questioned whether he truly loved her."You're tired of putting up with me? You were the one begging to be with me, remember? I bet you only wanted to be with me because of my family's fortune, right? And now you're complaining? Did you find someone with deeper pockets?"Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief as she took in Simon's harsh remarks. How could he have ever thought of her that way?With a heavy heart, Kimberly asked, "Does my love for you mean nothing at all?""Your love? What a joke! You're merely obsessed with taking everything Quinn has—her things and her social circle!"Simon was completely devastated. Back then, with Quinn gone, he had told himself that he had moved on fro
Maurice had made arrangements for someone to pick up Lisa from the borderlands. With Lisa in his custody, Quinn would be compelled to obey him, no matter how strong she was. After all, Lisa was Quinn's only weakness."Alright. Go and wash your face, and then take good care of Simon. He's currently injured and in his most vulnerable state." Araminta urged Kimberly."By the way, Quinn took the memory card from Simon's dashcam. It has proof of him hitting someone with his car. If she releases this footage, Simon won't be able to join the research institute." After all, Quinn was bold and unpredictable."What? That can't be! That video must not be released. Otherwise, Simon will be doomed." Araminta frowned, baffled by the situation. Simon had always been rational. Thus, it puzzled her to see him lose control like this after Quinn's return."What should we do then? Quinn said that Simon would have to apologize in person. But given his current state..." Besides, considering Simon'
Kimberly was anxious as well. Now that she had finally become a first-year student at M Research Institute, this news put her in an incredibly awkward situation. Even if she were to pass the exam now, she wouldn't be able to clear the research institute's background check. They wouldn't accept students with any flaws."Simon, what should we do? The news has just been disclosed, and all the affluent families in Jipsfort knew we're the ones who did it. If this continues, Quinn will ruin our future."Kimberly was truly terrified. She had worked tirelessly to get to where she was and going to M Research Institute was her lifelong dream. Once she entered the research institute, Quinn would have to admire her for the rest of her life.Simon was deeply distressed. He had reached out to the PR department of Xandor Group to address the chaotic news. But despite their tireless efforts, they still struggled to remove all the online posts. The situation deeply alarmed Shania, who went t
Nadia was thrilled about the upcoming event. At first, she had been reluctant when Xavier had reached out to her and requested her help taking Quinn somewhere. Although Nadia held him in high regard, she was determined not to assist him if Quinn didn't approve of him. It was crucial for Quinn to have feelings for him. However, as soon as Nadia learned about Xavier's intentions, she swiftly changed her mind. She had long been displeased with Simon and Kimberly's behavior, so she was naturally happy to see them publicly apologize to Quinn.Quinn had been busy with work and had no idea about the trending topics online. She had realized that she hadn't seen Nadia for two days, so she had agreed to meet the latter for dinner.Quinn had just left the office when she spotted Maurice heading her way. He had come to see her because of the trending topic online
Maurice was also feeling frustrated. Shania had been pressuring him, and the Jowell family had the power they held today because of the Xandor family. And now Shania was truly unhappy with the Jowell family. Thankfully, Shania had a great fondness for Kimberly. Otherwise, Maurice feared that the Xandor family would not let Jowell family go."What else can we do? Let's go back now and check if she left the memory card at home."They hesitated to take action because they were afraid that she would release the video. However, if they were to destroy the memory card, Quinn would have no other recourse. She would then be the one who pleaded for mercy."I've asked someone to search for it, but it's not at home. Surely, she must be carrying such important evidence with her.""What should we do now, then? She's too strong for regular people. Even the bodyguards couldn't defeat her last time." It was impossible to take it forcefully."Forget about it. Let the Xandor family deal with th
