The force of the explosion almost launched Quinn across the air. He used all his strength to run toward Jenna. Just as he was throwing himself toward her, a piece of metal shot out of the fire and pieced into the back of his head. He threw Jenna to the ground with a muffled grunt. He made sure to protect the back of her head with his palm to prevent her from hitting the ground with her head and causing further damage. Jenna's right ear was buzzing from the explosion. She could hardly hear anything. Her head was buried in Quinn's arms. His smell filled her nostrils and it was mixed with a faint smell of blood. When she managed to wriggle out of his arms, she saw Quinn wearing a tight frown and visibly enduring some sort of pain. His face had gone pale white by this point and blood was slowly trickling down his hair, dripping onto her face. "Quinn, are you hurt? Where?” Jenna cried out. His blood even dripped into her eyes, blurring her vision. She wiped the blood
Blood continued to creep down the man’s hair and his cheeks. The white surface of the stretcher was colored crimson red. The air was thick with the smell of blood. The previous nurse looked at the man lying on the stretcher, then turned anxiously to Jenna. “Look at the patient, there’s a sheet of metal pierced into the back of his skull and he’s bleeding out as we speak. If we don't rush him to surgery right now, it’ll be over for him. Are you going to watch as he dies?” Jenna took one of Quinn’s hands and could feel his temperature continue to drop. Even she knew that he was fading away as they spoke. Despite that, she continued to root herself to the ground with the same blank expression. She would not listen to the nurse. A few minutes later, Jacob rushed to the scene. There was a group of doctors and nurses running behind him. Upon approaching and noticing Quinn on the stretcher, he immediately wiped away the trace of a smile on his face. He instructed his team to
Jenna narrowed her eyes and formed a theory in her mind. She was the one who requested Sam to get her the Mercedes. Some other party must have assumed that she was going to go somewhere with Quinn and proceeded to tamper with the car while it was parked inside the parking lot. There was not a single car on the road when she was driving but they somehow picked up on the news as soon as something happened to Quinn. This suggested that they had been spying from the dark the entire time. As soon as Quinn arrived at the hospital, they rushed over so they could be the first to know if he happened to die. They were probably responsible for the news spreading so quickly as well. Jenna was also born into a wealthy family, but her father did not have many siblings. After his father got married, she was the only daughter. She had never seen any family squabbles as a child. Sometimes, she heard stories about the internal conflict of wealthy families with a history spanning centuries
Jenna spoke, “None of us here has type A blood, please check inside the blood bank.” “If there’s anyone with type A blood, hurry up and send them in for a blood transfusion, Dr. Tennyson is losing his mind!” One of the nurses hurried to the end of the corridor and continued shouting to her colleagues, “Go to the blood bank and check how many bags of type A blood we have. The patient in operating room eight needs type A blood!” “Someone got into a car accident earlier this afternoon and needed type A blood. All of our type A blood storage has gone to that man and we’re empty on supply.” “Hurry up and come up with something, we’re running out of time!” Sebastian and his group heard the frantic conversation of the nurses but remained standing idly the entire time. There was an amused squint inside Jacqueline’s eyes. It was as if she was waiting to see what would happen next. Meanwhile, Jenna could feel her hands and feet throbbing with cold. She was aware that a cereb
Jenna took a sharp breath and asked, “How unlikely are we talking?” “Very unlikely…” Jacob answered in place of the doctor. Unlike his usual nonchalant tone, his voice now sounded choked up. “He might be stuck in a hospital bed for the rest of his life.” Which meant…he was in a vegetative state? Jenna knew that Jacob tended to like joking around, but he would not joke about something as serious as this. Upon hearing this, Sebastian hardly reacted and seemed as indifferent as usual. However, Jenna could see the two of the men standing behind Sebastian cracking a faint smirk. Soon, several nurses stepped out of the operating room pushing a stretcher. Thick layers of gauze were wrapped around the head and the bare shoulders of the man lying on the stretcher. His eyes were tightly shut and the color was drained out of his face. There was no longer any sign of his past powerful presence. They had a respirator strapped on him and he looked like a patient who was going to
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sam entered and handed a phone to Jenna. “Ma'am, Mr. Shawn is looking for you.” Jenna took the phone from him. “What's the matter?”“Jen, are you okay?” Shawn asked worriedly, “I just saw the news about Quinn's car accident. Were you with him at the time?” “I’m fine.” Jenna wiped at the corners of her eyes, her voice grew hoarse. “He was the one who got hurt.” “I’m just glad you’re safe.” Shawn heaved a sigh of relief. “I got to North City at around six yesterday and I'm on my way to Hevedburgh now. Also, have you read the news this morning?” “I don't need to read it to know what they’re reporting. It must be about Quinn’s accident and his injury,” Jenna answered distractedly. “That’s not all, there’s also…” Upon hearing what Shawn had to tell her, Jenna’s eyes grew wide with disbelief. She promptly hung up and opened her social media app. Most of the time, the trending page was filled with news about celebrities or poli
Fearing that the media would not believe her, Rox even revealed the exact private hospital where she gave birth to Hugh. She also showed them the only picture she took with Hugh after he was born as well as the record of Leah’s transaction of eighty million. These conclusive pieces of evidence shocked the media as well as the general public. Who would have ever imagined a scandal of such degree to come out of the Foresters, one of the four major families in Portica? The length of the two videos combined was hardly five minutes and yet they stunned Jenna to the point of being completely speechless. Quinn was not a child of the Foresters? How was that possible? After a long pause, she turned back to Sam who was standing beside her. “They're saying that someone broke the news that Quinn was not born a Forester. Someone who is supposedly his biological mother stepped up and announced to the media that Quinn was a child she had with one of her customers in the past. She even t
The first missus lost her mind when she found out she accidentally had her son killed in the explosion instead of Quinn. She made Ivy shoot Quinn and the bullet nearly went through his heart. In the end, it was Old Madam Forester who put an end to things. She heavily reprimanded the first missus and got her to stop. While Quinn was still recovering in the hospital, he secretly sent someone to do some investigation. The results were the same as the findings Pete revealed to him. That was how Quinn found out that he was not born a Forester. However, he still grew up in the family and Scott always took care of him. Out of all the children in the household, he was the most favored one. Regardless of whatever reasons Leah had to get rid of Scott, the fact was that he was already gone and it was all over. Quinn did not want the media to drag Leah’s name through the mud and ruin the Forester household beyond repair. He was not sure if Pete arranged some sort of contingency pla
