Ian quickly made his exit. He realized that his behavior today had been out of line. It was definitely inappropriate.As he stepped out of Quinn's room, he bumped right into Kimberly.Kimberly's room was right next to Quinn's. She had just returned from the lab, and then she saw this scene unfold.She thought that Quinn really had no shame at all. She always flirted with different men. Was that her way to stand out?Ian noticed the disdain in Kimberly's eyes. It annoyed him. He didn't like the idea of anyone misjudging Quinn.He genuinely liked her as a person. She was nothing like Kimberly thought.But explaining that out of the blue didn't feel right, so he shot Kimberly a glare and then headed back to his room.If Nadia could come here, would she come to see him? He missed Nadia. She was so beautiful. Would those rich heirs from Dudore try to pursue her?He was determined to confess his feelings to her once the exams were over. He couldn't wait any longer.Back in his room,

Xavier genuinely enjoyed drying Quinn's hair. To him, it felt like a deeply intimate act. His fingers could freely roam through her long hair as though their lives were intertwined.She might have wanted to keep her distance, but he wasn't about to let go.Once her hair was dry, he scooped her up and carried her to the bed. "Don't worry. I won't try anything tonight."They were in the research institute, and he respected her boundaries here.After tucking her in, Xavier lay down beside her, though he didn't cover himself with a blanket. "I'll leave once you're asleep. I keep my promises."Even though he'd been stubborn about staying all night, now that he'd said he'd go, he meant it.He hugged her along with the blanket. "Go to sleep." He knew she had trouble sleeping, so he just wanted to be there."Okay." This time, Quinn didn't argue. She was exhausted and quickly drifted off.When he was sure she was deeply asleep, Xavier kissed her forehead gently before carefully getting

Most of the others were glad to see Quinn's apparent lack of motivation. The less engaged she seemed, the better it was for them.With her out of the way, that meant one less competitor, which was ideal for those eager to secure a spot at the research institute.After his phone call, Ian felt much better.Noticing Quinn's relaxed state, he couldn't help but offer, "Quinny, we have an exam this afternoon. Let's practice together.""No need. I'm already prepared," Quinn replied.Ian was rendered speechless.Was she so sure? He hadn't seen her make a single move all morning. She just came in and found herself a cozy spot to sit."Yeah, I'm ready," Quinn assured him.She was there to observe the other participants. She might look like she was playing on her phone, but she was quietly evaluating each candidate.Since she'd be handpicking five of them herself, it was essential to pay close attention. Her role as a student was merely a cover to hide her actual identity.There were a

Kimberly was also present. Noticing Simon's concern for Quinn made her fists clench unconsciously.She had her own plans to go out today. Gregory was going to introduce her to a big shot. He was slowly coming to recognize her potential and would provide her with all his resources."Simon, you know I'm not Maurice's daughter. I'm Gregory's daughter. Gregory Thorpe from the Thorpe family of Dudore. You're aware of that, right?" Kimberly spoke with pride.Simon looked into her eyes. "So what?""My dad is introducing me to a big shot today. Do you want to come? If you agree to get back with me now, I'll overlook everything that happened before.""No, thanks. I really don't need that. You go ahead," Simon replied firmly.In the past, it had always been Shania pushing him. Yet deep down, he wanted to stand on his own. It might seem naive, but he wanted to give it a try.Seeing him try to walk away, Kimberly grabbed his hand. "Simon, don't you want to get your mom out soon?"Why was h

Lisa's tone was especially gentle. After nearly three months of treatment, her condition had improved significantly.Gradually, she was becoming the serene Lisa she once was.Once the call ended, Quinn gazed out the window, oblivious to the fact that Xavier was still holding her hand.Xavier was holding her hand with one hand and gripping the steering wheel with the other. It wasn't until they reached the restaurant that he finally let go.He dropped Quinn and Nadia at the restaurant entrance while he went to find parking. The parking area was quite far, so he didn't ask them to come along.As he drove off, Quinn and Nadia waited at the entrance."Quinny, it's great to see Lisa coming back to herself," Nadia said with a smile.Although the past five years had been challenging, it was comforting to see everything getting better.Quinn felt a wave of joy as she reflected on Lisa's remarkable recovery. Given how bad Lisa had been before, it brought her immense happiness to see her
