Hearing Quentin say that made Talia's heart skip a beat.She always felt that Quentin's kindness toward her was motivated by some underlying scheme, yet the genuine emotions he often revealed always left her feeling utterly bewildered.Was someone really capable of doing this much for another person just for personal gain?Talia couldn't help wondering whether Quentin was putting on an act or if he really meant every single word. She couldn't figure out what was real and what wasn't, so she stopped trying.Thinking back on what Quentin said, she replied, "There's no point in caring about Christian."Her voice stayed calm. Quentin could tell that she wasn't saying it out of anger.Noticing that she genuinely meant it, he added, "It's never too late to start over. There's nothing wrong with trying different men."Talia leaned against the headboard. She felt weak all over, and his words made her frown. She looked at him and asked with a hint of amusement, "I'm already like this, an

When Paige said that, she deliberately glanced at Talia, who was leaning against the headboard. It was obvious that she'd said that line on purpose.Talia heard it, but she pretended she hadn't. She quietly held her bowl of soup and sipped it with care.Quentin also looked at Talia. He knew that she'd heard it, and he knew she was pretending not to.However, he didn't push her. He only gave Paige a faint smile and said, "Thank you, Paige. But whether I'm someone worth trusting for life, that depends on Talia. If she says I am, then I am."Smiling, Paige replied, "I believe hard work pays off."Quentin forced a laugh. "Hopefully."When it came to winning Talia over, he sometimes felt confident he would succeed, and at other times, it felt like climbing an endless mountain.Like right now, Paige was already trying to nudge things along for him, but Talia showed absolutely no reaction.Still, Quentin thought that it was fine. He figured that Talia probably wouldn't think about rom

Inside the elevator, Paige heard Nancy's insult, but she didn't care at all. Her attention stayed on Talia.Working in the modeling industry, Paige would have failed long ago if she didn't possess a certain level of endurance.Nancy's petty tricks weren't even worth noticing. Paige had met people nastier than Nancy and said things uglier than that.As Quentin held Talia, his heart pounded wildly from the panic. When he saw that there was blood on her face, he became even more distraught.Her cheek rested against his chest, and her eyes were completely shut."Talia, don't sleep. Please stay awake. Look at me. I'm begging you, just look at me."Quentin lowered his head and brushed his cheek against hers.He was so anxious that he felt like he was going mad. He was terrified that Talia might never open her eyes again.He had finally managed to get this one chance. He didn't want to lose her again."Don't sleep. I won't be your lover anymore. I won't force you to marry me either.

After all of Quentin's passionate efforts, Talia was too exhausted to argue with him about anything. He called himself her lover, and she didn't bother correcting him.Still running a fever, she felt weak and limp all over. When fatigue overwhelmed her, she drifted off to sleep again.When she opened her eyes again, she saw Paige's face.Paige had already removed her makeup. Her features weren't as sharp or defined as usual, but her flawless skin still made her impossible to look away from.Seeing Paige, Talia couldn't help but think of Yvonne. Her eyes reddened as she asked, "Paige, how's Yvonne?"Paige tucked the blanket around Talia as she replied, "Mr. Henderson asked around. Yvonne's stable now. Don't worry too much."Talia finally relaxed and nodded. "Okay, thanks."Paige wiped the sweat from Talia's forehead with a towel and softly added, "Quentin's gone for the night. I'll stay with you."At the mention of Quentin, Talia froze for a moment. But then she reminded herself

While Nancy was lost in her thoughts, Christian suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and turned to look at her.Noticing her troubled expression, he couldn't help but call out, "Nancy."Nancy was pulled back from her thoughts by his voice. She looked up at Christian and softly asked, "What's wrong, Chris?"He looked at her with concern and a hint of tenderness. "Are you tired?"She shook her head and smiled softly. "No, I'm not."Christian reached out and gently stroked her hair. His voice was full of affection as he said, "I'll take you home."However, Nancy declined. "It's okay. I'll stay here with you and Yvonne."He frowned. "I'll stay here with her. You should go home. You have experiments to run tomorrow."Noting his insistence, Nancy finally relented. "Alright, then."Christian stood and offered his hand. "Come on, I'll drive you."Looking at his outstretched hand, Nancy was momentarily lost in thought, recalling how Quentin had held Talia earlier.She thought that per
