LOGINAfter a long pause, Christian finally turned back to face William. His eyes were burning with fury as he shouted, "Have you said enough?"William replied, "No, not yet."Christian's patience snapped. "Shut up!"But William continued as if he hadn't heard a single word, "Christian, let's face the truth. It's because of you that everything has come to this point. Talia loved you so much back then, but did you ever once truly look at her?"It's only because she wants a divorce that you've finally decided to look her in the eye. Only now do you remember that there's a woman like her by your side. You don't love her, and you don't love Nancy either."All you've ever loved is the feeling of what you can't have. The easier something comes to you, the less you want it. You—"Before he could finish speaking, Christian stormed off and got into his car. The engine roared to life as the car sped off, disappearing into the distance.William stood motionless, defeated. He knew his words were
Christian's face remained expressionless as he stared at Quentin. "Are you really any better than me? If she stays with you like this, with no status to her name, who's going to be branded as shameless? You? Or her?"The moment the words left his mouth, Quentin's expression turned serious. He instinctively turned to glance at Talia.Seeing the panic on Quentin's face, Christian couldn't help but chuckle. "Ha, you're scared now? Since you've made my life a misery, did you really think I'd let you live yours in bliss?"With those words, Christian shifted his gaze back to Talia. He stared at her for a long time without saying anything.Finally, he made a move, but he still didn't speak. Instead, he turned and left the ward.Once he was gone, the tension in the room lingered.William took a glance at Talia before speaking up. "Ms. Stewart, Chris just doesn't know how to express himself. He doesn't mean to hurt you. Don't take those words to heart."When Talia didn't respond, he sigh
William reached out and grabbed Christian's arm. "Chris, don't say something you'll regret."But Christian wasn't in the mood to listen. He turned sharply and snapped at William, "Why are you trying to stop me? What did I say that was wrong?"William tried to reason again, but before he could speak, Quentin's fist slammed into Christian's face.Christian grunted in pain. Without hesitation, he turned around and retaliated.The two of them didn't hold back, and both of their faces quickly became bruised.William stood aside, wanting to intervene but unable to find the right words.Talia leaned against the headboard, watching as the two men fought. Objects from the nightstand were scattered all over the floor.Desperate to stop them, she shouted, "Stop it! What the hell do you think you're doing?"But her words were ignored as the fight only escalated.Unable to take it anymore, Talia turned and grabbed a cup from the nightstand, throwing it at Christian.To her surprise, she h
Quentin lowered his head. His gentle gaze lingered on Talia's face with a tender, yearning devotion.He studied her closely, noticing her thick, curly lashes fluttering like feathers and her deep eyes that seemed to draw him in.Shocked and helpless, Talia stared back at Quentin. She tried to glare at him fiercely as if to scare him away.But his smile only deepened, as if he could captivate her soul with just a grin.Outside the door, Christian watched the scene unfold inside the ward. His expression was dark, radiating fury, and his body was tense with an unsettling energy.William reached out to pull him away, but Christian dodged his hand and kicked the door open.It slammed against the wall with a deafening thud, sending a tremor through the entire room.Both Quentin and Talia instinctively turned their heads at the noise.Christian stood at the doorway, his back to the corridor. His face was shadowed despite being under the light.When Talia saw him, her heart almost jum
Henry was a doctor, and this was his scheduled surgery. The patient and nurses were ready. He had no right to delay the entire surgery just because of his personal matters.After he left, Quentin leaned against the doorframe and looked at Talia.His eyes were filled with deep resentment as he spoke. "So your answer is to reject me?"Talia remained unusually calm as she met his gaze. "Come sit. Let's talk."She had thought long and hard about it the night before. She did have different feelings for Quentin, but she believed that having feelings didn't necessarily mean she had to act on them.Quentin stayed where he was, leaning against the doorframe. "If you're just going to reject me, I won't listen to you."Talia sighed. "Quentin…"She drew out her words, her voice dripping with a sense of resignation.Quentin turned his face to the side like a stubborn child. "If you're not going to marry me, then don't say anything at all."Once he said that, Talia fell silent.Neither of
After Quentin's outburst, he heard Talia's calm voice say, "Okay."That single word left Quentin stunned. "Okay, what?"Henry stood by the bed and said to Talia, "Professor Jenner has been asking about you again."Talia smiled. "Once I'm feeling better, I'll make time to visit him."Henry smiled back. "Repaying him with your achievements is probably what he'd appreciate most."Talia laughed but didn't say anything more. Quentin stood off to the side, watching the two of them chat so easily. It finally dawned on him.That "okay" Talia had said was her response to Henry's offer to stay a bit longer before his surgery.In that moment, Quentin realized where he stood with her. Her answer was already clear in the way she was acting.But so what? He'd never planned on giving up on her anyway.Henry saw Talia smile, and he smiled too. "Talia, seeing you doing better makes me really happy."Talia looked up at him, her smile warm. "I'll keep getting better."Quentin's expression dark
But thinking back to the question Christian had asked, Talia began to laugh again. She shook her head, her eyes filled with pain as she said, "I'm not heartless, Christian. I do have a heart, but it's full of wounds."He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist as he continued
Everything felt grating to Quentin now, and everything made him uncomfortable. When a cat passed by on the street, he couldn't help cursing at it, "What are you staring at? Get lost!"After he yelled, the cat ran off quickly.Quentin turned and walked back to his car. After slamming the door hard,
Without giving Talia a chance to react, Quentin opened the bedroom door and walked out.Talia was left frozen in shock, her body breaking out in a cold sweat. As she watched his retreating figure, she instinctively called out, "Quentin, come back."But as soon as he stepped into the hallway, he en
Quentin watched Talia enjoying the movie and chose not to disturb her. At this moment, whether the movie was good or not had become secondary. What mattered was that Talia was here with him.After he posted it on social media, it quickly went viral. Countless people commented and shared it, opinion
