Gavin studied her, weighing silence against confession. “Quinn, what do you truly feel for Julius? You broke up with him, yet you keep insisting on seeing him. When you do, what then?”
“If he’s willing, I want us to try again.”
“And if he isn’t?” Gavin countered.
Quinn froze. If Julius has already let go, can I really walk away without shattering? Can I really let him go?
Once, facing Trent’s cold indifference, Quinn could have signed the divorce papers with the careless flick of a pen–no ache, no backward glance.
But the mere thought that Julius might have fallen out of love with her sent a serrated hurt sawing behind her ribs. Choices that once felt simple now resembled walking barefoot across glass, every memory of him charging through flame to save her replaying in relentless detail.
Gavin grew anxious when Quinn didn’t say a word. “You listen to me, Quinn. Even if Julius swears he wants nothing to do with you, you pin him down and tell him he has no choice- you are staying in his life. If he keeps resisting, I don’t care whether you tie him to a chair or slip something in his drink. Whatever it takes–once you’ve decided to reclaim him, you cannot let that man walk away again.”
Quinn stared at Gavin, stunned. He looked at her like an exasperated drill sergeant
confronting a hesitant recruit, as though any answer except yes would make him drag Julius in and dump him at her feet.
With a sigh, he added, “Remember this–there is only one person on earth Julius would die for, and that’s you.”
Quinn’s shoulders trembled, yet her voice came out clear: “Fine. I understand. Take me to him, now.”
“He’s in Celosia. Hand over your passport, and I’ll twist every lever I know to get you a visa in record time.”
“Celosia?” Her brows shot up. “What on earth is he doing there?”
“You truly know nothing, do you?” Gavin let out a weary laugh. “I can tell you what he’s doing, but if Julius decides to shoot the messenger afterward, you’ve got to block the bullet for me.”
“Me?” Quinn blinked, caught between disbelief and a reluctant smile.

“Yes. Only you.”
“All right, I’ll shield you. Now tell me–why has he gone to Celosia?”
“To donate his stem cells.”

The answer hit her like a slap; Quinn simply stared, mouth parted, unable to process what she’d just heard.
In that instant, she recalled Rowan mentioning a miracle–a donor suddenly surfacing, a perfect match for Lena, willing to rush an emergency transplant.
Could it be… Was the donor him?
