Chapter 9

Author: Deerstream
As Talia walked out of the hospital room holding Maeve's hand, she ran right into Margaret at the doorway. Between Yvonne's allergic reaction and Talia's lack of preparation for the dinner party, Margaret had been seething with anger all evening.

Without even looking to see who had bumped into her, she immediately started scolding. "Don't you watch where you're going? Are you in such a hurry?"

When she looked up and saw that it was Talia, Margaret became angrier. But before she could say anoth

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 752

    Quentin squeezed onto the bed and wrapped his arms around Talia possessively. Talia tried to push him away, but she couldn't move him. So, she had no choice but to give in.Quentin held her tight, pressing her back firmly against his chest. He rested his chin in the hollow of her neck, his warm breath against her ear.His voice was rough and magnetic. "Are you scared?"Talia paused, then asked, "Scared of what?"Quentin said bluntly, "Your surgery is tomorrow."Talia said, "No, I'm not scared."But the truth was, she felt at least a little anxious. Even though she was a doctor herself, she understood the risks of surgery all too well.Every surgery carried risk, especially one like hers that had required breaking and resetting bone. Just thinking about it made a cold sweat break out across her skin.Quentin sensed Talia's fear and held her tighter. "It'll be okay. I'll stay with you the whole time. When you come out of the operating room, I'll be the first person you see."Tal

    Henry dragged Jerry into the stairwell, where Jerry yanked his hand free.Jerry was furious. "Why did you drag me out here? I can't stand watching him gloat like that. What does he have that you don't?"You're one of the top doctors in the field. You've got patents, and you make more than enough money to keep her comfortable for life. What are you so afraid of? Even if that Playboy has money, how is he better than you?"Henry stood by the window, letting the cold wind ruffle his hair. His mind was a mess, like something heavy was pressing on his chest.He felt like he couldn't breathe. The image of Quentin leaning down to kiss Talia kept replaying in his mind, impossible to shake.After a long while, he finally exhaled heavily. "Jerry, it's not his problem. It's mine."Jerry stepped forward and grabbed Henry's shoulder. "What problem?"Henry looked lost, his eyes even beginning to glisten. "Jerry, I can't learn to fight and compete like him. I can't learn to be aggressive and do

    Just as the wheelchair was about to pass him completely, Henry suddenly reached out and gripped the handle. His eyes were red as he looked at Talia. "Talia, I need to talk to you."Talia gently removed Quentin's hand from the wheelchair and turned to Henry. "Okay."Henry's voice was thick with emotion. "Jerry and I came to see if your leg is ready for surgery."Talia looked down, her tone heavy with apology. "Thank you for coming all this way."She could sense Henry's feelings for her, but she had nothing to offer him in return. She'd turned him down clearly several times, yet Henry still went out of his way to be good to her.Letting Henry see that had been cruel. But maybe now he'd finally understand and let go.Henry caught the apology on Talia's face, and he relaxed slightly. "Let's get you back to your room."Talia simply nodded without saying anything.Seeing her agree, Henry stepped forward to push the wheelchair, but the moment his hand touched the handle, Quentin's han

    Talia's voice was soft, yet somehow it carried a reassuring strength that put Quentin at ease. He stood behind the wheelchair, his smile deepening without him realizing it.Melissa looked at Talia. The certainty in Talia's voice seemed to embarrass her. "I understand. I'll ask Yvonne more about what happened that day."Talia nodded, then looked at Melissa with concern. "How is Yvonne doing? Is it serious?"Melissa smiled gently. "She has already been examined. The doctor said it's nothing serious."Relief washed over Talia.She actually knew a bit about Yvonne's condition. Because the girl loved snacks, she had developed swollen lymph nodes in her stomach, and frequent pain was normal. But aside from this minor issue, there was nothing else to worry about.After praising Maeve for a few minutes, Melissa mentioned that she needed to head out and get some food for Yvonne.Talia quickly suggested, "Then get something light. She shouldn't have anything too heavy right now."Melissa

    "Hello, Christian." The moment the call connected, Talia greeted Christian urgently.Christian's voice was sharp. "Why did it take you so long to answer?"Talia ignored the question. "Is that all you wanted to say?"Christian paused for a moment before speaking again. "The teacher called. Yvonne has a stomachache. She's in the emergency room at your hospital. Go check on her."Every sentence he spoke was an order. He hadn't even asked about her injury. After a long silence, Talia finally asked, "How am I supposed to go see her?"Christian replied, "I'll have someone take you. I'm not back yet, so you'll have to go."Talia instinctively refused. "Christian, I'm not going. I..."Before she could finish speaking, Quentin wrapped his arm around her waist and leaned down to kiss her again. At the same time, Christian's voice continued on the phone, but after a few words, Quentin reached for the phone and ended the call.Talia struggled in his arms. Quentin held her tighter and kisse

    A few words from Quentin were all it took to turn Talia's face completely red.She wanted to retreat, but Quentin was right in front of her, and with the injury on her leg, there was no escaping his gaze. Left with no choice, she reluctantly turned back to look at him.The moment their eyes met, Talia's heart seemed to skip a beat. Despite his roguish expression, his eyes were unbearably sincere.Talia quickly looked away. She refused to look at him or say a single word.When she refused to speak, he pressed her. "What are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"Talia scoffed. "Mind your own business."The more she refused to answer, the more curious he became.He leaned in even closer, his lips brushing against her skin as he whispered against her earlobe. "Are you thinking about my body?"Talia's face flushed even deeper. She turned away. "No."Quentin's smile widened. "So I'm right?"Talia didn't want to hear any more. She whipped her head around and snapped at him.

    Shayla nodded vigorously. "I'm telling the truth."Quentin fell silent for a moment, thinking it over. He figured that Shayla's words had to be genuine. Given the Wilder family's background, she wouldn't dare offend Talia under normal circumstances. The only reason she'd act so boldly was if Connor

    Rodney looked at Talia's bruised body and didn't feel any disgust. Instead, he was turned on.The fresh blood beneath her was like a drug, stirring his dark desires to commit a crime.Unable to restrain himself any longer, he kneeled on the bed and forced Talia's legs apart. He then placed one leg

    Sensing Talia's low spirits, Quentin shot Evan a look, signaling him to go over and cheer her up.Evan immediately understood. He walked over and wrapped his arms around Talia. "Ms. Stewart, let's go make lunch."As Talia looked down at him, her eyes were full of guilt. "Evan, let me apologize to
