The smile vanished from Quentin's face, and his voice dropped low. "You're saying the person who saved me is the one who tried to message me today?"

Talia nodded. "Yes."

Quentin's grip tightened around her arm, his fingers digging in unconsciously. His voice came out rough and strained. "You'd lie about something like this just to turn me down?"

Talia's expression grew serious. She looked directly into his eyes. "It's the truth."

Quentin turned away sharply. "I don't believe you."

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 724

    Quentin had originally planned to just walk past Monica, but when she saw him, she quickly took off her mask and greeted him, smiling. "Mr. Henderson."He stopped in his tracks, offering a brief smile in return before replying, "What brings you here, Ms. Walker?"Although his greeting was polite, his tone was distant, as if they were merely acquaintances.Monica sensed his coolness but didn't react negatively. Instead, she calmly explained, "The hospital assigned me here for a year of training. A patient in the obstetrics department has a complicated condition. I came to ask a colleague from orthopedics to assist with a consultation."Quentin nodded slightly. "I see. Well, then, you should get to work."His words made it clear that he didn't want to linger around Monica.Still, she wasn't about to give up that easily. She glanced into the ward. Seeing Talia leaning against the headboard, she curiously asked, "Mr. Henderson, what happened to Talia?"Quentin thought for a moment,

    After she finished relieving herself, Talia couldn't stand back up, so she gently tugged at Quentin's hand.He quickly responded, lifting her up.After helping her to her feet, he flushed the toilet, then reached for the IV bag with one hand and attempted to lift her with the other.However, remembering Quentin's injuries, Talia declined, saying, "I'm fine. I can jump in myself.But Quentin didn't listen. Without saying a single word, he scooped her up with one arm.When they reached the bed, he hung the IV bag back up, then gently helped her lie down.After tucking the covers around her, he sat in the chair beside the bed.All the running around had caused sweat to bead on his forehead, but once seated, he didn't look at Talia or say a single word.Talia turned to look at him, a puzzled expression on her face. "W-Why did you come?"Quentin raised his head to meet her gaze but still remained silent.Confused, Talia pressed further, "Quentin, why aren't you talking to me?"Bu

    Quentin got straight to the point. Over the phone, he asked, "Is my sweetie with your sweetie?"Lucas paused for a moment before realizing who he meant, then responded, "No, Talia isn't with Willow."Then, he quickly asked, "Is something wrong?""Nothing," Quentin replied.After hanging up, he decided to head to Jubilee Manor. He couldn't get over the fence, so he figured that he'd just force his way in.But as luck would have it, Emma had just returned from grocery shopping.Seeing her, Quentin wasted no time and asked, "Where's Talia?"At the question, Emma's eyes immediately filled with tears. "Mrs. Lane is in the hospital."Quentin's face drained of color at once. "What happened to her? How did she end up in the hospital?"Emma, not holding back, explained everything. "She accidentally fell and had to be hospitalized."Upon hearing that, Quentin turned and stormed off. He didn't bother asking which hospital, but he figured that Talia would be at the best hospital in Jarro

    Listening to Lucas' teasing, Quentin couldn't bring himself to laugh. He glared at Lucas and spat, "Mind your own business."With that, he stood up and walked toward the door without saying another word.From behind him, Lucas watched his retreating back and couldn't help but scoff, "Oh, so now that you're done using us all, you want us to stay out of it?"Quentin didn't turn around. He simply waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."Lucas quickly asked, "Where are you going?"Quentin was already outside the door. His voice mixed with the loud music from outside. "I'm going to see her."That day in Northdale, after Quentin had left, he went straight to Seamus' room.Seamus, seeing how badly injured he was, took him to the hospital and had him get his wound re-bandaged. Only after that did they head back to Jarrowind.As for Talia's message, it wasn't that he didn't want to reply. He was just really angry.But now, thinking back on it, he regretted not responding sooner.Had he

    Talia just wanted to hear news that Quentin was safe and sound.He had lost so much blood that day, and with the cold temperatures in Northdale, she couldn't help but worry that something had happened to him.She sent another message. "Quentin, if you see this, reply to me. Don't joke around. If you don't, I'll call the police."Staring at her phone screen, Talia waited for ten minutes.When no reply came, she began to worry and thought about calling the police.But after pulling up the dialer, she ended up dialing Quentin's number instead.The call connected, but it was met with an endless ringing. No one picked up.Talia's anxiety grew, and she immediately dialed Willow's number.When Willow picked up, Talia wasted no time and asked, "Willow, is Quentin with you?"Willow sounded confused. "What?"After some thought, Talia asked, "Can you give me Lucas' number? I need to get in touch with him about something."Willow replied, "Sure, I'll send it to you right away."Talia d
