Autor: Deerstream
Worried that Talia might overthink things, Paige gave a faint smile before saying, "Well, she can't exactly act out to fulfill her needs."

Talia kept her eyes fixed on the door of the ward and said nothing more.

Sensing that she was upset, Paige reached over and took her hand.

Just then, the automatic doors at the ER entrance hissed open, and someone hurried in from the street.

Talia turned instinctively. Without warning, her eyes met Quentin's. Before she could even react, he was already st

    Over the phone, Talia accepted Willow's invitation. "Okay, sounds good."Willow asked, "Want me to send a makeup artist over?"Talia declined. "Paige's here. I'll have her help me."Hearing this, Willow laughed. "Then give her my thanks."Talia agreed. "Will do."After hanging up, Talia called Paige. She was downstairs. When she heard Talia was attending a dinner party, she came up to help her get ready.She pulled out over a dozen dresses and had Talia try them on one by one. Finally, Paige settled on a light crimson bodycon dress for Talia.Looking at the dress, Talia hesitantly said, "Paige, I still can't wear heels. Will this dress be a little..."She trailed off, but Paige understood what she meant. "Oh, who cares? As long as you look good. Even in a wheelchair, you'll still be the most dazzling person there."Paige placed the dress on Talia's lap. "This is the one."Talia held the dress and didn't refuse again.Paige did Talia's makeup, styled her hair, and paired the

    Lying in bed, Talia tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She forced herself not to overthink, but within seconds, her thoughts drifted back to Quentin.This cycle repeated many times before Talia finally fell asleep. She had barely drifted off when her phone suddenly rang in the darkness. She opened her eyes, disoriented at first, then gradually realized someone was calling her.After waiting many times for Quentin's call without success, Talia had no expectations this time. She assumed it would just be an ordinary call."Hello." Her voice was lazy and slightly hoarse.Then Quentin's gentle voice came through. "Were you sleeping?"Talia covered her mouth as tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She forced herself not to cry and responded coolly, "Yes."Hearing this, Quentin spoke again. "Then should you get some rest?"It wasn't a statement but a question. Even so, Talia instinctively worried he would hang up immediately.So she called out his name somewhat anxiously. "Quentin.

    Hearing Shawn's teasing remarks, Talia stiffened. She said somewhat awkwardly, "Professor Jenner, Henry and I are just good friends. We..."Shawn knew that she was about to deny his words, but he cut her off. "You have plenty of time. There's no rush to decide right now. But I do think Henry is steady and reliable, and you're both in the same field."If you marry him, you'll have a good life together. Talia, think it over carefully. A man this excellent doesn't come along every day."Talia tried to explain again. "Professor Jenner, I—"But Shawn interrupted her once more. "Alright, your acceptance letter will arrive in a couple of days. I have to go. Someone's here to see me."As soon as he finished speaking, Shawn hung up.Listening to the dial tone, Talia held her phone and turned to look at Garrett. He looked back at her with a smile in his eyes, though his expression was serious. "Have you figured out what you want?"Talia's face flushed red. She asked, confused, "Figured ou

    By the time Talia arrived at the Stewart residence, it was nearly lunchtime. No one was home except for Janet, who was busy preparing food in the kitchen.Talia had just sat on the couch when her phone rang. She glanced over and saw it was Ryan calling.Talia had been on medical leave for two months due to her injury. She wondered what the department chief wanted at this hour.As soon as Talia answered, Ryan spoke with clear dissatisfaction. "Talia, you've been taking too much time off lately. Write a resignation letter. You don't need to come back to the hospital anymore.""Dr. Williams, I—"Talia parted her lips, wanting to ask why, but Ryan didn't give her the chance. He said loudly, "There's nothing more to discuss. You're not cut out for this job. You should just find a man and get married."With that, Ryan hung up without ceremony. Talia sat on the couch listening to the dial tone, frozen in place.She clutched her phone, thinking about why the hospital would suddenly fire

    The words the maids had spoken stung, but Talia didn't let them get to her. She walked straight toward the living room.Inside, Franklin sat at the table brewing tea. He looked the same as always, dressed in his usual formal attire, his beard and hair both white and gray. Although his face was deeply lined, his eyes remained sharp, as if they could see right through everything.Talia hobbled over to the tea table on her crutch and greeted him politely. "Franklin."Franklin glanced up at her. Seeing she really was on a crutch, he frowned slightly.After a moment of silence, Franklin poured himself a cup of tea. He didn't even invite Talia to sit. Instead, he spoke in a commanding tone."Go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of that pasta you used to make. I'll eat while we discuss your situation with Chris."Franklin's attitude toward her had changed after he learned about the abortion. Before that, he'd been relatively courteous—even pleasant. But once news of the abortion got out

    Hearing Talia say this, Franklin assumed that she was joking. He didn't take it seriously and spoke again. "I'll have Lance come pick you up."Lance Wells was Franklin's personal driver. Talia wondered what could be so important that Franklin would send Lance to get her.She mulled this over but still didn't want to go, so she pressed him. "What exactly do you want to talk about?"Franklin sounded annoyed as he said, "Your divorce from Chris."Hearing this, Talia thought that Franklin must have seen the news about Christian's upcoming wedding to Nancy and wanted her to finalize the divorce quickly.Once they were divorced, Christian could marry Nancy.The thought irritated her. "If you want to discuss the divorce, you should ask Christian, not me. As long as he's willing to go to the courthouse with me, we can be divorced in ten minutes."Franklin didn't respond to that. He stayed silent for several seconds before speaking. "Come over. I need to understand the situation. Lance i
