Chapter 721

Listening to Lucas' teasing, Quentin couldn't bring himself to laugh. He glared at Lucas and spat, "Mind your own business."With that, he stood up and walked toward the door without saying another word.From behind him, Lucas watched his retreating back and couldn't help but scoff, "Oh, so now that you're done using us all, you want us to stay out of it?"Quentin didn't turn around. He simply waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."Lucas quickly asked, "Where are you going?"Quentin was already outside the door. His voice mixed with the loud music from outside. "I'm going to see her."That day in Northdale, after Quentin had left, he went straight to Seamus' room.Seamus, seeing how badly injured he was, took him to the hospital and had him get his wound re-bandaged. Only after that did they head back to Jarrowind.As for Talia's message, it wasn't that he didn't want to reply. He was just really angry.But now, thinking back on it, he regretted not responding sooner.Had he

Quentin got straight to the point. Over the phone, he asked, "Is my sweetie with your sweetie?"Lucas paused for a moment before realizing who he meant, then responded, "No, Talia isn't with Willow."Then, he quickly asked, "Is something wrong?""Nothing," Quentin replied.After hanging up, he decided to head to Jubilee Manor. He couldn't get over the fence, so he figured that he'd just force his way in.But as luck would have it, Emma had just returned from grocery shopping.Seeing her, Quentin wasted no time and asked, "Where's Talia?"At the question, Emma's eyes immediately filled with tears. "Mrs. Lane is in the hospital."Quentin's face drained of color at once. "What happened to her? How did she end up in the hospital?"Emma, not holding back, explained everything. "She accidentally fell and had to be hospitalized."Upon hearing that, Quentin turned and stormed off. He didn't bother asking which hospital, but he figured that Talia would be at the best hospital in Jarro

Chapter 723

After she finished relieving herself, Talia couldn't stand back up, so she gently tugged at Quentin's hand.He quickly responded, lifting her up.After helping her to her feet, he flushed the toilet, then reached for the IV bag with one hand and attempted to lift her with the other.However, remembering Quentin's injuries, Talia declined, saying, "I'm fine. I can jump in myself.But Quentin didn't listen. Without saying a single word, he scooped her up with one arm.When they reached the bed, he hung the IV bag back up, then gently helped her lie down.After tucking the covers around her, he sat in the chair beside the bed.All the running around had caused sweat to bead on his forehead, but once seated, he didn't look at Talia or say a single word.Talia turned to look at him, a puzzled expression on her face. "W-Why did you come?"Quentin raised his head to meet her gaze but still remained silent.Confused, Talia pressed further, "Quentin, why aren't you talking to me?"Bu

Quentin had originally planned to just walk past Monica, but when she saw him, she quickly took off her mask and greeted him, smiling. "Mr. Henderson."He stopped in his tracks, offering a brief smile in return before replying, "What brings you here, Ms. Walker?"Although his greeting was polite, his tone was distant, as if they were merely acquaintances.Monica sensed his coolness but didn't react negatively. Instead, she calmly explained, "The hospital assigned me here for a year of training. A patient in the obstetrics department has a complicated condition. I came to ask a colleague from orthopedics to assist with a consultation."Quentin nodded slightly. "I see. Well, then, you should get to work."His words made it clear that he didn't want to linger around Monica.Still, she wasn't about to give up that easily. She glanced into the ward. Seeing Talia leaning against the headboard, she curiously asked, "Mr. Henderson, what happened to Talia?"Quentin thought for a moment,

Chapter 725

Quentin sat by the bedside, his deep gaze fixed on Talia's profile.When he heard her words, the light in his eyes darkened immediately.But within seconds, he regained control, hiding the chill that had spread across him.Forcing a smile, he picked up a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the table and began blowing on it to cool it down before bringing the spoon to Talia's lips. "Come on, eat a little. You can't go hungry. You've lost so much weight."Talia turned toward him, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. She stared at Quentin with a deep, resentful look.She bit her lip, not saying a single word.Seeing her this way, Quentin patiently coaxed her. "Come on, eat just a little. I'll leave right away when Christian comes."Seeing him act so humble for her made Talia's heart ache.In all of Jarrowind, he wasn't even afraid of Christian. Yet here he was, lowering himself to the ground in front of her.Despite the harsh words she had said, it felt as though Quentin hadn't he

Chapter 726

Monica's face was flushed from climbing the stairs too quickly, and her breath came in ragged gasps. She looked up at Quentin with wide, innocent eyes and replied, "I didn't say anything to her."But Quentin didn't believe her. He took a step forward, his powerful presence suppressing and intimidating her.With every step he took, Monica instinctively took a step back, until she found herself backed against the edge of the rooftop with nowhere to retreat.She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression filled with helplessness and grievance.But Quentin didn't see any of that. His gaze was cold and unyielding as he stared at her. "Monica, I'm warning you, no matter what you did for me back then, the person I love is Talia. If you dare say anything to hurt her, I will end you."As he spoke the last words, his eyes narrowed instinctively, and the coldness in his gaze was more chilling than the deepest winter frost.Monica shivered involuntarily at the look in his

Chapter 727

Talia looked up and smiled brightly at Christian. "I said, feed me."Her coy, playful tone left Christian momentarily stunned.He had seen Talia act this way before, but it had been so long since she'd spoken to him like this.After getting used to her distant, cold demeanor, he found her coy tone almost surreal.Seeing him lost in thought, Talia called out, "Christian?"He snapped out of his daze and fixed his gaze on her face. "Yes?"Still smiling, she asked, "You don't want to feed me?"Christian hesitated for a moment, then reached for the food container on the bedside table. He shook his head and replied, "No, I want to."He opened the container and carefully stirred the beef stew. Seeing the steam, he gently blew on the stew to cool it down.Talia was taken aback by his actions.She was only playing nice to Christian to make Quentin give up and walk away. But Christian's reaction was far more than she expected.Once the stew cooled down, Christian carefully brought the

Chapter 728

Talia couldn't help but let out a sneer as Christian spoke about the past. "I really wanted to marry you back then, and now, I really want a divorce. Christian, I've always been true to my words. No matter how things were before, right now, all I want is to leave you and the Lane family."Christian stared intently at her, trying to read something from her expression.With a bitter edge, he asked, "You're really okay with leaving Yvonne and me?""Why wouldn't I be?" Talia shot back, scoffing.Christian fell silent for a long time, still gazing at her. Finally, he sighed and said, "Fine. Let's finalize the divorce."Talia felt relieved and asked, "How soon can we go to the courthouse?"Christian replied, "Tomorrow. I have some things to handle at the company today."Talia didn't push him further. Fearing that pushing too hard would backfire, she simply said, "Alright."With the topic of divorce finally settled, Christian picked up the food container again. He shook it gently and

Chapter 729

After saying that, Quentin turned and walked away with the posture of a winner.Christian stood motionless for a long while, lost in thought.As he got into his car, he didn't drive off. Instead, he lit a cigarette. He held it between his fingers and rested his arm on the window. The smoke swirled around him, but his expression remained impassive.After seeing Quentin and hearing his arrogant words, he couldn't help but wonder if Talia's strange behavior earlier in the ward was because of Quentin. He couldn't get an answer. All he could do was guess, which only made his mood worse.After finishing one cigarette, he lit another.It wasn't until the smoke made him cough that he flicked the unburnt end of the cigarette out of the window.As the car sped down the road, the cool wind whipped through the air. Christian found himself thinking that Talia used to love him so much. How could she so easily fall for someone else now?…In the ward, after Christian left, Talia closed her

Chapter 730

Talia asked curiously, "What did he say?"Paige shook her head and sighed. "You can probably guess. He wanted to come here and give you a piece of his mind, but I stopped him."As Paige spoke, she noticed Talia's serious expression and added, "Talia, Garrett cares about you. You know his temperament. He wouldn't hold back his words, even with me."Talia gave Paige a faint smile and said, "I know."Paige sat behind Maeve and gently tucked the damp hair from Talia's face. In a softer voice, she continued, "Garrett may say that he wants to scold you, but deep down, I know he just wants to check on you."Talia's eyes reddened. She turned her head, trying to keep the tears from spilling. She couldn't find the words to speak.Paige saw the sorrow in her eyes and quickly changed the subject. "Talia, how did you get hurt?"Talia wiped away the tears from her face and looked back at Paige. Her expression became serious. "Yvonne pushed me down the stairs."Paige froze for a moment at tha
