When She Turns Her Back Chapter 1204
Back in the hematology ward, Quentin stood frozen in the hallway long after Talia left. When he finally moved, he realized he'd drawn an audience.He knew exactly what those looks meant. They were all waiting to see him fall apart.The discomfort hit him like a wave, and he snapped. "What are you looking at? Get lost. All of you."The crowd scattered after that, guilt written on their faces.Once the gawkers were gone, Quentin finally noticed Monica standing a short distance away. She was in her white coat, her long hair pulled into a low bun. Her makeup was so subtle that it was almost invisible, but that understated touch made her look effortlessly polished and striking.There was no denying it. By the standards of the medical world, Monica was easily the most beautiful woman in the building.Quentin looked at her and read the pity and concern in her eyes without trying. It lasted only a second before he turned away. He had no interest in staying, and he headed for the elevator
When She Turns Her Back Chapter 1203
Christian's words rang in Talia's ears, and each one sent a chill spreading through her chest.Talia tilted her chin up to look at him, her voice dripping with indifference. "You think I wanted to come back?"Christian's hand slid from her jaw to her cheeks. He squeezed hard, his voice dropping to something dark and dangerous. "Whether you want to or not, you don't get a choice."It wasn't a request. It was an order. He shoved her into the car before she could respond, ignoring the tears on her face and the panic in her eyes as he pushed her roughly into the back seat.Outside, the crowd wasted no time."Is that woman stupid? The guy's obviously abusive, and she's still going with him.""Who knows. He's probably rich. If all you have to do is take your clothes off to solve your money problems, who wouldn't?""Can't blame her. Look at the car. That's a Maserati.""It's their business. She's willing to put up with it; he's willing to dish it out. Nothing to do with us."Inside t

Talia stepped into the elevator, which was packed wall to wall. Squeezed in the middle of the crowd, she lowered her head as tears poured down her face.She didn't know what the people around her thought, and she didn't care. She couldn't control it. Her body shook with sobs, and her nose was so congested that she could barely breathe.Quentin was a good man. He made her happy, gave her experiences she'd never had before, and showed her what it felt like to be truly loved.She wanted nothing more than to hold onto him. However, she wanted to save Henry more.Christian's threat still echoed in her ears. "If you keep things going with Quentin, I will never save Henry. Not in this lifetime."That single remark was enough to make her surrender everything.She didn't know how long the ride took, but the elevator finally reached the ground floor. The crush of bodies spilled out, and Talia drifted along with them, moving on autopilot.The sun was blazing outside. The moment she stepped

When Talia turned to face Quentin, her expression was cold and blank. There wasn't a trace of warmth left on her face, and the eyes glaring back at Quentin were filled with nothing but fury.Every single word she ground out through clenched teeth was a blade, each one precise and sharp, driving straight into his chest.The same mouth that had once said things that made him feel like the luckiest man alive was now saying things that shattered him. He could feel something in his chest caving in, and he swore he could hear his own heart breaking.He stared at her, stunned and lost, his voice dropping to a rough whisper. "Do you mean that?"Gone was the confident, self-assured man he'd always been. He stood there like a hollow shell, stripped of everything. His eyes were empty.Talia met his gaze, and the pain slicing through her own heart was nearly unbearable. But she swallowed it down and forced out every syllable. "Every word. It's as real as it gets."Even then, Quentin shook hi

The atmosphere in the office told Talia everything she needed to know. She was about to receive some bad news.The moment Joel sat down behind his desk, he asked, "Have you found a suitable bone marrow donor?"Talia thought of Christian but shook her head. "Not yet."She didn't dare say yes, afraid that Christian might refuse to donate.Joel's expression grew more serious. "Then you really need to figure something out, and fast. Henry's condition is only going to get worse."Today it was a simple bleed. But what about tomorrow? The day after? No one can guarantee that something worse won't happen."Talia had already expected this. She nodded. "I understand."Joel let out a sigh. "The sooner, the better.""I know," she said. Then, she left the office.She walked out of the ward in a daze, so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Quentin coming from the other direction. Just as she was about to pass him, he reached out and caught her arm.Quentin turned slowly and stepped

Henry spoke the truth, but Talia refused to accept it.She looked at him through reddened eyes, unable to form a single word. His face was so pale. If they didn't treat this in time, he might...She couldn't let herself finish the thought, and she didn't respond to what he'd said.Behind them, Quentin had been quietly standing the whole time. When he heard Henry talking like a man writing his will, he couldn't hold back any longer."What do you mean 'not so bad'? You have to stay alive. Otherwise, if I ever treat Talia badly down the road, who will keep me in check?"Talia knew that Quentin was saying it for Henry's sake, so she didn't try to correct him.Henry sat still at the edge of the bed. The blood from his pant leg had seeped onto the white sheets, and that streak of red was a jarring sight.When Talia saw it, her chest seized. The tears came faster now, falling faster than she could wipe them away.She glanced toward the door, silently willing the doctor to hurry. Henry

Yvonne hung her head and said dejectedly, "I feel like Mommy doesn't love me anymore."She had kicked up a fuss when she went to the Stewart residence the other day, but Talia didn't get very angry with her. Instead, she just sent her back to Jubilee Manor.Talia's reaction had been too calm, and

After giving her statement at the police station, Talia was detained for eight hours. It wasn't until 9:00 pm that a police officer opened the holding cell door and said, "Talia Stewart, someone's here to bail you out. You can go now."She wondered who had bailed her out. Could it be Willow or her

Back at the Stewart residence, everyone had delayed dinnertime because Talia hadn't returned yet.The family sat around the dining table in harmony. Maeve sat between Talia and Paige, with both of them serving her food. She was beaming from ear to ear."Mom, Aunt Talia, tomorrow is the fall festiv
When She Turns Her Back Chapter 74
Hector, Madeline, and Paige immediately broke into smiles when they saw Henry.Hector kept pressing Henry to have a drink with him during dinner. Talia tried to stop him, but before she could, Henry smiled and said, "It's alright, Talia. I'll only have a little."Madeline chimed in from the side,
