Alexander was there, providing a steady support for Quinn as he helped her sit up. He gently brought a
Sebastianful of porridge to her lips, his eyes filled with concern. However, Quinn's lips remained tightly sealed,
her refusal to eat evident in her stubborn demeanor.
"Con, open up," Alexander coaxed, his voice soft yet persistent. Quinn, however, turned her head away, her
resolve unwavering.
"Quinn," Alexander's voice suddenly took on a more menacing tone as he called her name, "it seems this
porridge isn't to your taste." His words took her by surprise, her eyes widening slightly in shock.
He continued, his voice as cold as ice, "If that's the case, perhaps this Chef no longer needs to keep his hands."
Quinn turned her head back towards him, her eyes wide with disbelief. His gaze was icy, devoid of any humor.
Her eyes met his, their intensity matching his own. If this had happened before, she would have brushed it off as
him trying to scare her. But after the incident with Abigail, she no longer doubted Alexander's way of handling
things. "Do you want some?" Alexander asked her one last time.
After a few moments of silence, Quinn finally gave in. She lifted her head and leaned forward, accepting the
Sebastianful of porridge. A look of relief washed over Alexander's face, and he gently fed her, a slight smile
playing on his lips. Quinn quietly ate the porridge, methodically emptying the bowl Sebastianful by Sebastianful.
Once she was done, Alexander encouraged her to lie down and get srest. Quinn rolled over, her back to
him, her eyes wide open. Sleep was elusive, her mind too preoccupied with thoughts.
Her gaze fixed on the window, the droplets of rain creating a grey veil over the sky. Despite it being daytime, the
bedroom light was on, casting reflections on the window pane. She caught sight of Alexander sitting beside her,

It wasn't long before Alexander stepped out, the sound of the door closing prompting her to open her eyes again.
For the next several days, Alexander checked on her morning, noon, and night, ensuring she ate and took her
medication. Once her health was nearly restored, his visits becless frequent.
Alexander continued his usual routine at the office, no different from before. Crossing paths with Walter by the
elevator, he was greeted by a friendly smile. "Alexander, did you find your pet?" Walter asked.
Alexander pocketed his hands and, quirking his lips in a half-smile, glanced sideways at him. "Since when are
you so concerned about someone else's pet?" The jab was thinly veiled, and Walter feigned ignorance, "I'm not.
I'm just worried about you."
"It's tough, Alexander, working hard every day and also stressing over a pet. | would hate to see it wear you
down." Walter continued.

"Is that so?" Alexander chuckled. "Then | guess | owe you thanks."
"No need for that. It's what | should do." Walter replied.
"You should take care of yourself, too. Those investment projects must be keeping you busy," Alexander said,
changing the topic.
Walter was caught off guard, and his smile stiffened for a moment. "It's manageable, not overly busy."
"Good to hear. I'll leave them in your capable hands then." Alexander said, ending the conversation.
