“Sure. Besides, I’d also want to wait till this cast is removed before meeting Grandma,” Quinn said.

In her current condition, she would only burden the old woman with worry.

“Good. Where are you staying now? Do you need me to arrange a place for you?” Rowan asked.

“No need for that. I’m staying at Julius‘ place. Take care of Lena, Rowan. I’ll head back on my own.” With that, Quinn braced herself on the crutches and pivoted toward the corridor, determination eclipsing every hint of fragility.

“I’ll drive you.”

“No need. Julius has already assigned a driver. Besides, you have your hands full. Oh, by the way, please tell Lena I was delighted to meet her today, and that I’m sorry her transplant will likely be postponed till six months later.”

Rowan nodded. “All right.”

Six months was nothing; Lena and he could wait.

Moreover, if Julius had not appeared, despair would still be the only thing filling their hearts.

The elevator chimed again and slid open. Quinn stepped into the lobby’s sterilized hush, the faint glare of fluorescent lights scattering across polished tile. Fabian waited near the

Standing beside him, Gavin offered the soft, patient smile of a man accustomed to long nights in intensive care.

“Ms. Bridger, Mr. Whitethorn has asked me to escort you wherever you wish, should you be without transportation,” Fabian greeted politely.

“Where’s Julius right now?” Quinn asked, her voice low yet edged with urgency, as the late- afternoon light carved sharp angles across her profile.

“Mr. Whitethorn should’ve made it back to the hotel by now,” Fabian replied quickly, almost like a valet desperate not to disappoint.

“Good. I’ll head there too,” Quinn said, already turning as though the corridor itself had answered.

With one eyebrow cocked in playful disbelief, Gavin strolled over to her. “You mean to tell me you still haven’t sealed the deal with Julius? The man hasn’t agreed to get back with you? he teased, voice half–taunt, half–concern.

Quinn shot him a sideways glance. “He actually said that to you?”

“Well, obviously. How else would I know?” Gavin huffed, rolling his eyes theatrically. “Come on, Quinn. Can’t you use some tactics to reassure him and deal with his insecurity? If you don’t know what to do, I can teach you.”

Quinn blinked, baffled. “Teach me? Teach me what exactly?”

“How to make him yours completely,” Gavin said with wicked relish. “The fastest way to calm Julius is simple… Claim his body first, then his heart…”

Quinn rolled her eyes. If she hadn’t researched Gavin’s credentials and found him a celebrated surgeon, she might have mistaken him for a street thug.

“Have you forgotten that you warned me this morning not to overexert him?” she reminded calmly.

“How was I supposed to know you’d be so ineffective?” Gavin grumbled. “An entire night and still no green light from Julius. In any case, just be careful not to reopen the wounds. And if you need, uh, any medicine, feel free to come to me. I can get it for you.”

Quinn’s lashes fluttered. “Medicine? Actually, yes, I think I do need you to get me some.”

Fabian’s stomach lurched at the exchange.

My goodness… Should I even be hearing this?

After Quinn had secured the requested supplies, Fabian pulled the sedan around and chauffeured her back toward the hotel.

Inside the car, Fabian finally broke the silence, voice hesitant. “Mr. Whitethorn is still recuperating, Ms. Bridger. He might not, um, tolerate being medicated… So, maybe wait a few days?”

Quinn almost laughed. She couldn’t believe Fabian thought she’d asked Gavin for that kind of “special medicine.”

“Relax,” she said. “I only requested the antiseptics and ointments Julius needs for his daily dressing change.”

Starting tomorrow, she planned to remove his bandages herself, replacing them with

Fabian exhaled, tension draining from his shoulders.
