Chapter 367

Author: Deerstream
After all of Quentin's passionate efforts, Talia was too exhausted to argue with him about anything. He called himself her lover, and she didn't bother correcting him.

Still running a fever, she felt weak and limp all over. When fatigue overwhelmed her, she drifted off to sleep again.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Paige's face.

Paige had already removed her makeup. Her features weren't as sharp or defined as usual, but her flawless skin still made her impossible to look away from.

Seeing Paige, Talia couldn't help but think of Yvonne. Her eyes reddened as she asked, "Paige, how's Yvonne?"

Paige tucked the blanket around Talia as she replied, "Mr. Henderson asked around. Yvonne's stable now. Don't worry too much."

Talia finally relaxed and nodded. "Okay, thanks."

Paige wiped the sweat from Talia's forehead with a towel and softly added, "Quentin's gone for the night. I'll stay with you."

At the mention of Quentin, Talia froze for a moment. But then she reminded herself

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 372

    Quentin and Nancy were so close that they could almost touch each other.Her heart pounded wildly, and her cheeks flushed bright red.Seeing her like that, Quentin tilted his head to look at her and bluntly asked, "So, are you really a virgin?"There was a playful glint in his eyes, yet beneath it lurked something darker.Nancy met his gaze and nodded shyly. "Yes."Quentin suddenly burst out laughing.Nancy felt both nervous and uncertain when she saw him laughing like that.A moment later, the smile vanished from his face. He looked at her and asked, "Since you're still a virgin, why don't we set a date?"His blunt words made Nancy's face turn even redder. She played innocent and asked, "A date? What exactly do you want to do on that date, Mr. Henderson?"Seeing her act so clueless sparked a flash of disgust in Quentin's mind, but he kept it carefully hidden.Quentin kept smiling, holding his pose as he edged closer. Just as his lips neared her cheek, he paused.With a slow

    Talia didn't bother correcting Quentin. She just said, "You can go."Before leaving, Quentin sneaked a quick kiss on her forehead when she wasn't paying attention. "You get some rest. I'll be back soon."With that, he left the ward.But once Quentin was gone, Talia found that she couldn't sleep at all. Instead, she felt more awake than ever.Her mind kept replaying Quentin's kindness over the past two days and the words he had said.She had always thought that Quentin had something to gain from her, but even now, she had no idea what value she held for him.Yet, he was willing to humble himself before her, even washing her feet.Although it was just a simple gesture, the fact that it came from Quentin made all the difference.Talia was moved.What if Quentin was genuinely being good to her? Thinking about it only made sleep harder to come by.Feeling suffocated in the room, she decided to go out for some fresh air.She wandered down the hall and ended up at the far end witho

    Quentin stood at the door and heard the lock click shut. He smiled to himself. It was a smile full of happiness.Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.Worried that Talia might feel cold, Quentin held a coat and waited by the door.About half an hour later, Talia finally emerged from the bathroom. Her hair was wrapped in a towel, and she wore a fluffy pajama set.Winter had arrived, and the nights were chilly.Seeing her come out, Quentin hurried forward and wrapped the coat around her before asking, "Sweetie, are you cold?"Talia shook her head and gently replied, "I'm not."Seeing the smile in her eyes, Quentin felt a surge of happiness himself.He helped her sit on the edge of the bed and said, "I'll get the hair dryer and dry your hair."Talia was about to refuse, but before she could speak, Quentin was already fetching the dryer.He busied himself around the room, showing none of the arrogance expected from a rich heir. He seemed to be treating Talia li

    While Nancy was lost in her thoughts, Christian suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and turned to look at her.Noticing her troubled expression, he couldn't help but call out, "Nancy."Nancy was pulled back from her thoughts by his voice. She looked up at Christian and softly asked, "What's wrong, Chris?"He looked at her with concern and a hint of tenderness. "Are you tired?"She shook her head and smiled softly. "No, I'm not."Christian reached out and gently stroked her hair. His voice was full of affection as he said, "I'll take you home."However, Nancy declined. "It's okay. I'll stay here with you and Yvonne."He frowned. "I'll stay here with her. You should go home. You have experiments to run tomorrow."Noting his insistence, Nancy finally relented. "Alright, then."Christian stood and offered his hand. "Come on, I'll drive you."Looking at his outstretched hand, Nancy was momentarily lost in thought, recalling how Quentin had held Talia earlier.She thought that per

    Still groggy, Quentin opened his eyes. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "What's wrong, sweetie?"Talia shifted slightly to make room. "I'm a little cold. Come sleep on the bed."Although she worried he wouldn't sleep well, she lied about feeling cold.Without uttering a single word, Quentin flipped onto the bed. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.He still smelled faintly of shower gel, but Talia could catch whiffs of her own sweaty scent. She had been running a high fever for days without a proper shower.Nevertheless, Quentin didn't mind. Instead, he held her even tighter.Quentin had been completely exhausted, but at this moment, he was wide awake.Talia didn't fall asleep either.Quentin propped his left hand under her neck, and his right arm was wrapped around her waist, so her whole back was pressed against his chest.Their body heat mingled through the thin fabric of her shirt. Talia could even feel Quentin's body, which felt
