Autor: Deerstream
That night, Henry's friend, Jerry Castro, came by.

After examining Talia's injury, Jerry said, "The swelling hasn't gone down yet. We'll need to wait for it to subside before scheduling the surgery. When the time comes, I'll clear my calendar and handle the surgery myself, with Henry assisting."

    Paige emerged from the bathroom and immediately lowered her voice to scold Maeve. "Maeve, don't tease Talia. She's your aunt."Maeve pouted. "I know, Mom. But I'm just telling the truth. Aunt Talia was calling out Quentin's name earlier."Paige shot Maeve a quick glance. "Maeve, Aunt Talia is a woman. If you keep saying that, she'll get embarrassed."Maeve sat up from Talia's embrace and replied, "Okay, Mom. I won't say it anymore."Paige walked over and gently lifted Maeve from the bed.After putting on Maeve's shoes, she turned to Talia and said, "I'll take Maeve downstairs, then I'll come back up to keep you company."Talia was a little confused. "Is Maeve going to school alone?"Paige smiled softly. "Don't worry. Someone's downstairs to pick her up."Talia assumed that it was Garrett waiting downstairs, so she didn't ask further.When Paige took Maeve downstairs, Quentin's car was just pulling up on the street.Quentin got out and walked over to Maeve. "Maeve, you'll go t

Instead, he grew silent.Soon, Nancy's smile faded, and a hint of sadness crossed her face.Christian reached up and gently rubbed her cheek. "Nancy, you're not coming with me this time. Your health is more important. Once you're better, I'll take you back next holiday."Nancy smiled weakly and replied, "Okay."He gave her head a gentle rub. "Get some sleep now. I'll stay here with you."Nancy knew that Christian wasn't ready to take her back to see his family, so she didn't push the matter.If he didn't want to do something, no matter how much she pressured him, he wouldn't budge.After washing up, Nancy lay down and closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep right away.Christian sat on the chair beside her bed, not paying much attention to whether she was asleep.He looked down at his phone and typed a message in his chat with Talia.

    Christian actually hesitated.But after a few seconds, he shook his head. "No, I'm not thinking about her."The truth was, ever since he finished talking to Yvonne, he had been thinking about Talia. He wondered why she hadn't replied to his message. His mind swirled with thoughts of their impending divorce and her injured leg.But he didn't want to admit any of that to Nancy.Nancy stepped closer and tightly embraced Christian. She sobbed quietly but didn't say a single word.He gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder, saying nothing more.The room fell into silence.A second later, his phone rang.Almost instinctively, he reached for it. But the caller ID didn't show Talia's name. Instead, it was Cecilia calling.It had been a long time since he had last spoken to Cecilia. Honestly, he was a little surprised.The phone kept ringing, so Christian gently pushed Nancy away and said, "Nancy, I need to take this."Noticing his eagerness to answer, Nancy quickly asked, "Who is

    While Nancy was on the phone with Yvonne, Christian barely listened to their conversation.He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his phone screen always lit. Just before it dimmed, he quickly tapped it to keep it on.But in the chat with Talia, there was only his concern for her, with no replies from her.He waited and waited. Even after Nancy and Yvonne finished talking, he still hadn't received a reply.As the two exchanged goodnights, Christian was still lost in thought.He didn't know what exactly bothered him, but his chest felt tight, like something was stuck inside him.After putting her phone away, Nancy noticed Christian standing motionless at the window, lost in thought. She froze for a moment.Slipping on her slippers, she quietly got out of bed and walked toward him.Her steps weren't exactly silent, and the sound of her slippers echoed lightly, but Christian didn't notice her approach.When Nancy was right behind him, she softly called, "Chris?"Christian didn

    A couple of days ago, Yvonne had been talking about Talia nonstop, saying how much she missed her, wanted to sleep with her, and hug her. But now, her words were completely different.Listening to Yvonne, Christian felt confused.For a moment, he even questioned if what he had heard from her earlier was real. Did he mishear her?Picking up on Christian's silence, Yvonne realized she had misspoke. So, she quickly said, "Daddy, help me tell Nancy that I miss her and want to hug her to sleep."Christian's emotions were all over the place, but he still replied in a low voice, "Okay."After telling Yvonne to go to sleep, he ended the call.As he stood by the window, his mind was filled with conflicting thoughts. He couldn't shake off his suspicions about Yvonne's changing attitude.But what was he doubting? Was he wondering if Yvonne really pushed Talia? How could she possibly do that?He would never believe that.After finishing a cigarette, Christian made his way to Nancy's ward.

Instead, he lowered his voice and said, "Monica, I'm going to see Talia now. See you."Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked toward the ward.By the time Monica snapped out of it and tried to respond, Henry was already out of sight.She let out a self-deprecating laugh.She didn't get it.

    Paige was carrying a food container. After she set it down on the bedside table, she turned to Quentin and said, "Thank you for taking care of Talia last night."Quentin grinned.
