Chapter 42

Author: Deerstream
Felix's call gave Willow an excuse, and his mention of wanting food meant he'd be home for lunch. To her, it was proof he still wanted their relationship to work.

Hearing how quickly Willow forgave him, Talia paused while cleaning up her medical tray. It was like she was seeing her former self when she looked at Willow. Despite knowing that Christian cared about Nancy, Talia had genuinely considered having a second child to secure her husband's heart.

From this perspective, she realized just how foolish she had been.

Talia only saw three or four more patients after Willow left. Still worried about Willow, she sent her a message. "Remember to take your medicine. Keep the wounds clean to prevent infection."

She didn't mention anything about their relationship issues. During her lunch break, Talia planned to grab food at a nearby food cart. Since her afternoon outpatient shift had started early, she figured that she would eat and take a quick walk before returning to the hospital.

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 381

    That evening, Willow had an event to attend, so she left when the Stewarts arrived at Talia's ward.Paige didn't come that night, but Garrett did, and he brought dinner.Since Talia was admitted to the hospital, Garrett hadn't visited her once. This was his first time coming to the hospital.Growing up together, Garrett was always a serious and no-nonsense kind of guy. He was methodical in everything he did, and his temperament was unpredictable.Although Talia knew him well, she still felt a bit uneasy being alone with him.She leaned back against the headboard, slowly eating the dinner Garrett had brought.He sat in a chair, peeling an orange. Once he had finished, he put the orange slices in a small box.After wiping his hands, he looked up at Talia and asked, "Where's Quentin?"The day Quentin had carried Talia out of the house, the entire Stewart family came to the hospital. Garrett had sent their parents home after they found out Talia had a fever.He had wanted to ask Q

    When Christian noticed that Talia was no longer refusing his coat, he slowly withdrew his hand from her shoulder. At the same time, he replied, "I will."Talia looked at him and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"He lowered his gaze to Talia's face and asked, "Are you feeling better?"She didn't want to answer him. She impatiently said, "Get to the point."Christian paused for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was tinged with apology. "I was too harsh that day. Don't take it to heart."Talia didn't even know which day he was referring to, nor did she care. To her, it didn't matter anymore.With a shrug, she replied indifferently, "It's fine. I'm used to it."Noticing that she didn't seem bothered at all, Christian continued explaining, "I didn't know you had a fever that day. That's why I—"Before he could finish speaking, Talia interrupted, "Okay, I get it."Her nonchalance tugged at Christian's heart. Unable to hold back, he suggested, "Why don't you stay in Yvo

    With Willow around, Talia wouldn't overthink, so her mood lightened considerably.As they chatted, Talia asked about Felix. Willow told her that Felix had been trying to contact her lately, but she had been ignoring him.Willow had forced herself to sever an eight-year relationship. The love was real, but the letdown was just as real.Felix had not only cheated on her and been abusive, but he had also reduced Willow to nothing more than a plaything.Talia felt happy for Willow for taking the initiative to end that relationship.Just then, a curious voice came from behind. "Mrs. Lane?"Talia turned to find Emma standing there. She smiled politely in greeting.Emma walked into the gazebo and stood beside Talia, looking confused. "Mrs. Lane, Mr. Lane just went to see you. Didn't you see him?"Talia frowned and shook her head. "No."Emma was about to say something, but Talia cut her off, asking, "By the way, how's Yvonne?""Ms. Yvonne has been transferred to a regular ward. She's

    Talia looked at Quentin helplessly. "Quentin, you…"He tried to embrace her, but as he got closer, Talia suddenly thought of him kissing Nancy.A wave of resistance surged inside her. She shoved him away and got off the bed.Standing barefoot on the floor, she looked at him and said, "Forget about last night. I never agreed to the role you've imagined for yourself."After saying that, she put on her shoes and took Willow's hand. "Willow, let's go."Willow wasn't sure what had happened, but she followed Talia's lead.As they were heading out of the ward, Lucas suddenly called out, "Talia, have you misunderstood Quentin? If there's a misunderstanding, you should talk to him. I know his character well. He really only loves you."Talia stopped in her tracks when she heard that. She paused for a moment, then turned back to look at Lucas and said, "Mr. Jensen, thank you for coming today. I'm happy you were here. And, of course, I appreciate Mr. Henderson being here too. However, there

    Quentin sat on the edge of the bed. His body stiffened as he listened to Talia's words.No matter how dense he might be, he knew exactly what Talia m,eant. She was clearly trying to kick him out.But Quentin wasn't going anywhere. Frowning, he said, "I'm not busy. I'm staying here with you. You're sick, and I can't leave you alone."As Talia looked at Quentin, her expression was completely flat. Her tone was soft as she replied, "You should go. It's easier having Willow here since we're both women."Quentin's brows furrowed even deeper. "But you promised me last night that—"He wanted to say that she had agreed to let him be her lover.But before he could finish speaking, Talia interrupted him, saying, "I was running a fever last night and wasn't thinking clearly. Please don't take anything that happened to heart, Mr. Henderson."Quentin knew full well she was trying to get him to leave, but he wasn't about to back down. "I'm not leaving. If you want Ms. Green to stay, let her.

    Willow had said that she would be there in about an hour, so Talia decided to pass the time with a game.At the mention of it, Lucas' eyes lit up, and he became interested. "Sure. I'm unbeatable when it comes to Five-in-a-Row. Don't cry if you lose, Talia."Talia smiled faintly. "I won't."She was actually quite good at Five-in-a-Row, but it had been many years since she last played this game.With Talia bringing up a game, Quentin no longer paid attention to Lucas.Soon enough, Lucas had the game board set up. Talia took the white pieces, and Lucas took the black ones.They played three rounds, and Talia lost every time. Even though she lost, it wasn't an easy win for Lucas.When the fourth round started, Quentin quietly got up from the chair beside the bed and moved to sit next to Talia.Although Five-in-a-Row was just a simple game, it still required some thinking, and it wasn't as easy as it seemed.At first, Talia and Lucas were evenly matched. But as the game progressed,
