All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 1051 - Chapter 1060

Quentin's words were a trap, and Christian knew it, but he couldn't stop himself from firing back. "You're looking pretty good yourself, Mr. Henderson. It sounds like you've got some good news of your own coming up."Just like that, the dinner turned into a battleground between the two of them.Quentin didn't miss a beat. "Naturally. After all, I'm about to marry the woman I've always wanted. That tends to put a spring in a man's step. And really, isn't that what they'd call winning the war?"Christian was still on his feet, and his expression was cooling by the second. "Is that so?"Quentin nodded with exaggerated sincerity. "Absolutely. Unless you're telling me that marrying Ms. York doesn't feel like a victory to you, too?"Something in Christian snapped. He snatched the glass out of Quentin's hand and sat back down, his displeasure written plainly across his face.Joshua's eyes moved between the two men. He couldn't prove it, but his gut told him that this was more than casua

The word "fiance" landed like a stone in the room. Both Talia and Shawn froze.Quentin caught their surprise and, without missing a beat, extended his hand to Shawn with easy confidence. "Professor Jenner, it's a pleasure. Talia talks about you all the time. You're one of the most respected figures in medicine, and she admires you a great deal. So do I."Shawn stared at him for a long moment, but with a hand already extended toward him, he had little choice but to take it. "Hello."Once Quentin pulled his hand back, he turned to Talia with a slight smirk tugging at his lips, only to find that she wasn't looking at him. Her eyes were fixed on Shawn.Shawn looked up at Talia, then turned back to Quentin, his tone openly skeptical. "Fiance? She's never mentioned you."Quentin held Shawn's gaze, steady and unhurried, with just enough sheepishness to sound genuine. "Don't hold it against her, Professor. Back then, I hadn't earned it yet. I wasn't up to her standards."But things are d

Talia didn't know what to say to that. After all, she and Henry both understood what chemotherapy meant.Once the drugs entered his body, Henry would deteriorate at a pace that was impossible to ignore. But without it, at least for now, he still looked like himself.After a long silence, she cautiously tried to convince him again. "But Henry, if you don't do chemo, we can't—"Shawn cut her off. "Talia, let it go. We should respect his wishes."Talia stiffened. She wasn't ready to give up, and she wanted to push back.But Henry spoke first. "Thank you, Professor Jenner."Shawn didn't look at him. He stood there for a moment, then turned to Talia. "Stay and talk with Henry for a bit. I need to step out and make a couple of calls."Talia didn't ask questions. She just nodded. "Okay."Once Shawn left, the room felt enormous with just the two of them in it. Talia sat on the edge of the bed and looked up at Henry. "You've lost weight."His smile was gentle and warm. He reached out a

Nancy said goodbye and hung up. Only then did Christian step closer. "What was that about?"She turned to face him as she pocketed her phone. "It was Professor Jenner. He said Henry's been diagnosed with leukemia. He's reaching out to everyone at the university, asking people to go to the hospital to get tested for a bone marrow match."Christian looked mildly surprised, but his tone stayed detached. "Oh."Nancy was long past being caught off guard by his indifference. She simply said, "He's still a senior of mine. The chances are slim, but I'd like to try."Christian shrugged. "That's up to you."Almost without thinking, Nancy asked, "What about you? Would you be willing to get tested?"Something flickered across his face, barely noticeable, but he shook his head. "That has nothing to do with me. There's no reason for me to go."Nancy had expected as much. "Fair enough. Even immediate family members aren't guaranteed to be a match. I'm sure the odds of it being you are basicall

Yvonne was sobbing so hard that she could barely breathe, but the look in Jennifer's eyes terrified her even more. She clung to Nancy, refusing to let go or leave.Jennifer had reached her limit. She stepped forward, yanked Yvonne up, and locked her arms around the girl so she couldn't move. Then she glanced at Nancy and said, "Bring her things over later."Nancy murmured in agreement, grabbed the bag, and followed them downstairs.Christian was in his study. If he noticed the commotion, he gave no indication, nor did he come out to ask what was going on.But as they made their way downstairs, he could still hear Yvonne's desperate crying.He knew his daughter. If she was fighting this hard, it was because she didn't want to leave Nancy. She wanted to cling to her.But the wedding was fast approaching, and there was still so much left to do. He figured that sending Yvonne next door for a few days was better for her in the long run. At least she'd be able to sleep properly over th
