Chapter 308

작가: Deerstream
Quentin smiled faintly. "I'm only lucky if I can make her mine."

Although Talia hadn't joined in their conversation, she clearly heard every single word. She was confused, as she didn't understand why Quentin was treating her this way.

The man bowed slightly to her and said, "Miss, may I propose a toast to you?"

Quentin quickly reached out to stop him. "Sorry, my sweetie here doesn't drink."

Upon hearing that, Talia turned to him and said, "I do drink."

With that, she picked up a glass of red wine, clinked it lightly with the man's glass, and then downed it.

The man, pleased by her gesture, complimented her. He then slipped her a business card before leaving.

After he left, Quentin pulled his chair close to hers and looked at her seriously. "Are you upset?"

Talia lowered her head and continued peeling crab claws. Without looking at Quentin, she replied calmly, "I'm not upset. It's just that there's nothing to be happy about."

Noticing her bad mood, Quentin couldn't help but as

    Talia finally looked away and went back to staring at the ceiling.Just then, Quentin's phone rang.The room was quiet, so she heard the man on the other end say, "Mr. Henderson, everything's ready. Should I bring it up?"Quentin replied, "Yeah.""Which room?" the man asked."Just call me when you're here. I'll come out to get it."He hung up after the short exchange.A moment later, his phone rang again. Quentin stepped out and returned two minutes later carrying a bag filled with insulated food containers.Talia knew it was food that he'd asked someone to prepare.He unpacked everything one by one. It was a full spread. There was soup, vegetables, pasta, beef, and a few shrimp.Quentin put a pillow against the headboard, settled Talia against it, and then slowly fed her with a small bowl.Talia had been starving, so she didn't argue with him and just let him feed her.The food was delicious. She ate happily, feeling content.Halfway through, Quentin asked, "Is it good?"

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 355

    When Quentin heard Talia speak without telling him to let her go, relief washed over him.A relaxed smile appeared on his face. He pushed himself up from the bed and said, "I'll carry you to the bathroom."Talia's body was sticky with sweat, making her feel uncomfortable. Hearing Quentin say this, she instinctively worried that she might smell bad to him.She pulled back slightly and said, "Quentin, it's just a fever. I can go by myself."The smile that had just appeared in Quentin's eyes vanished in an instant.Seeing his reaction, Talia opened her mouth to explain. But before she could speak, Quentin had already gotten out of bed. He pulled back the blanket covering her body and scooped her up in his arms.He looked down at her, his gaze intense and his tone commanding. "I want to carry you. Talia, don't even think about pushing me away."Talia had no strength to struggle or yell at him. As such, she had no choice but to let him have his way.Quentin carried her to the bathro

    Talia's face was clearly pale, yet she was still being so stubborn.Quentin didn't listen to her. He reached out to touch her neck. She wasn't sweating. Instead, her skin felt cool.Fevers tended to come and go in waves, alternating between chills and heat. Quentin was worried about her. Without caring whether she agreed or not, he took off his jacket and climbed onto the hospital bed.The bed was small, only about three feet wide.Quentin was tall. When he lay down, he couldn't even fit his feet on the bed. He curled up at the edge and pulled Talia into his arms.Half his body dangled in the air, with only half of him actually fitting on the bed.But even so, Quentin didn't complain at all. He held Talia against his chest and rested his chin in the curve of her shoulder. Drawing his lips near her ear, he asked, "Talia, are you still cold?"After her cold body absorbed some warmth, Talia instinctively burrowed into Quentin's embrace. It was only then that Talia realized her body

    Talia had no idea how to respond to Quentin's words. She hesitated for a long time before finally looking up at him. She asked, "Quentin, why go through all this trouble?"Guessing what Talia was about to say, Quentin didn't want to hear it. He cut her off. "Alright, enough. Drink some water first."He picked up the cup again and held the straw to her lips. Talia's mouth was parched. She didn't refuse and took two big gulps.Seeing her drink, Quentin couldn't help himself. He praised, "Good girl."Hearing him use that tone like he was coaxing a child, Talia's face instantly flushed red. She didn't respond. Instead, she lay flat and stopped looking at him.The IV bag was empty. Seeing this, Talia asked Quentin, "Can you change the bag for me?"Quentin looked up. As expected, the bag was empty and needed to be replaced.He stood and raised his hand to change the IV. When he raised his arm, his tracksuit jacket rode up a little. As Talia turned her head, she accidentally caught a g

    Talia still hadn't gotten over what had happened during the day.Seeing her so sad, Paige felt terrible too. She gently rubbed Talia's cheek. "Be good. Once these next couple of days pass, I'll take you home."The doctor had already said that with Talia's condition, she needed to stay hospitalized for a few days. She couldn't be discharged until her fever subsided and she completed the course of anti-inflammatory IV treatment.Talia didn't argue with Paige. She nodded obediently. "Okay. I'll listen to you."Seeing that Talia's lips were chapped, Paige smoothed her hair back and said, "You rest here. I'll go get you some water."With the change of seasons these past few days, the temperature in Jarrowind had already dropped, and the flu had started spreading like wildfire.Worried about Paige, Talia reminded her, "Paige, remember to wear a mask. Don't get sick, too."Paige responded, "Yeah, I know. Just rest. I'll be right back."Talia made a sound of acknowledgment and closed h

    Garrett stood at the top of the stairs holding his laptop bag, watching as Quentin carried Talia away. The accusatory words on the tip of his tongue died when he saw how flushed Talia's face was.Quentin ran into Paige, who had just come back, as he descended the stairs. Even while carrying Talia, he still greeted her, "Hey, Paige."Paige paused when she saw Quentin. But after a moment, she collected herself. Noticing that something was wrong with Talia in Quentin's arms, she quickly asked, "What happened to Talia?"Quentin strode toward the living room. As he walked, he answered Paige's question. "She has a fever. I'm taking her to the hospital."Before Paige could even process this, Quentin had already carried Talia out of the house.Garrett came downstairs just then. Seeing Paige, he quickly said, "Let's go. We should follow them."At a time like this, Talia's safety naturally came first. As for why Quentin was at the Stewart residence, that could wait.…In the middle of th
