Chapter 761

Author: Deerstream
After sending Quentin several messages in a row, Talia finally calmed down. She couldn't help thinking that perhaps he was just tied up with something, which was why he hadn't replied.

But even as she tried to reassure herself, a sense of unease lingered. She was also beginning to realize something else. She cared about Quentin more than she wanted to admit.

    Talia returned the call without hesitation.Millie picked up immediately, her voice strained. "Talia, any news?"Talia's reply was quick. "Mrs. Henderson, not yet. But don't worry. I'll find him."She hung up and struggled to sit up. The moment she pushed herself upright, the room spun violently around her.Darkness swept over her in an instant. Then everything went black.Just before she passed out, she heard Paige's panicked voice. "Talia! Talia, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"…That night, rain fell over Jarrowind. It wasn't heavy, just a fine, persistent mist.In the shadows outside the Gardner residence, a car had been parked for over ten hours without moving. Rain spattered against the windshield. The person inside hadn't even turned on the wipers.In the dim light, a pair of elegant hands held a cigarette. Smoke filled the air inside the car so thickly that it was hard to see out.Finally, Quentin stirred in the driver's seat. He lowered the window slightly.Cold wind

    Talia's unfazed response only darkened Margaret's expression further."You can't even keep your own husband's heart, and you dare raise your voice at me? I think you've gotten too bold. Do you think no one can put you in your place?"Talia met Margaret's gaze head-on. She laughed. "Is his heart worth something? Why would I bother holding onto it?"His rotten, filthy heart isn't something everyone wants. The things he's done are far more disgusting and revolting than anything I've done."Margaret stepped forward and raised her hand to strike.Talia wasn't afraid. She moved to retaliate. But Paige crossed the room in a few quick steps and caught Margaret's hand mid-swing."Ma'am, this is a hospital, not a place for you to throw a tantrum."Paige's voice was cold as she shoved Margaret's hand away.Margaret turned to look at Paige, her tone dripping with contempt. "And who are you? Oh, right. The woman who slept her way to the top."Paige didn't flinch. Instead, she smiled pleasa

    Talia glanced down at her phone and saw that it was Millie calling. Puzzled, she answered. "Mrs. Henderson."Millie's anxious voice came through immediately. "Talia, is Quentin with you?"Talia's heart lurched. "Mrs. Henderson, he's not here."She couldn't shake her sense of unease. "I messaged him earlier, but he hasn't replied. I heard from my senior that he left in a hurry last night, saying something had happened at home. Mrs. Henderson, did something happen?"A long silence stretched on from Millie's end. The quiet only made Talia's panic worse.After several seconds, Millie finally spoke. "Something happened to me last night. Quentin found out and rushed over immediately. But I know his temper. When he heard what happened to me, there's no way he'd let it go."He had someone take me to the hospital, but he never came back. I've been worried sick all night. I still haven't heard from him, so I thought I'd check if he was with you."Talia's heart pounded. She could barely he

She was wheeled out of the operating room after an hour in recovery.Her consciousness flickered. She opened her hazy eyes. Henry, Jerry, Paige, and the nurses surrounded her, but Quentin was nowhere to be seen.Her mind felt foggy, and she quickly fell back asleep. She didn't fully wake until 2:00 pm.The moment she opened her eyes, she felt sharp pain radiating from her leg. She instinctively frowned.Then she heard concerned voices beside her.
