GoodReadA slow understanding dawned in Quinn's eyes. She seemed to vaguely remember hearing about it before. Dr.
Hughes, his teeth clenched in frustration, explained, "It's essentially dementia, Quinn.
But don't let it frighten you too much. You're so young; it's highly unlikely for someone of your age to be afflicted
with this condition. | suspect it's more related to your recent brain injury.""You've sustained a head injury,
haven't you?" he asked. Quinn nodded in affirmation, her mind flashing back to the numerous times she had hit
her head during her three-day ordeal with Walter.
Dr. Hughes exhaled a sigh of relief. "That's probably the cause then. There's no need to worry-this is much more
treatable than Alzheimer's."His words brought a sense of relief to Quinn, easing the tension in her shoulders.
However, Dr. Hughes quickly added, "We should still get you to a hospital for a check-up, just to be on the safe
side."
Suddenly apprehensive at the thought of a hospital visit, Quinn pursed her lips. What if it was indeed that
dreadful disease? What would she do then?She already felt foolish enough, and the prospect of becoming senile
was too overwhelming to contemplate.
With trembling fingers, Quinn typed out her question: [What happens with that disease?]Dr. Hughes responded,
"It's complicated. Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disorder. While it doesn't directly threaten life, in the
advanced stages, patients can forget how to eat, how to use the bathroom, or even how to walk.
The biggest challenge isn't the disease itself—it's the obstacles it creates for living a normal life."As Dr. Hughes
spoke, his voice carried a note of unease.
Despite Quinn's youth, the disease didn't discriminate based on age.Quinn bit her lip, her head bowed in silence.
After a moment that felt like an eternity, she typed: Dr. Hughes, whatever the outcome, can we keep it between

Quinn nodded in affirmation."Why not? Isn't he your husband? How will you manage treatment without telling
him?"
Nervously twisting her fingers, Quinn typed out her reasoning for him to see: [I don't want to worry him.]Dr.
Hughes paused, but he understood, "You know, keeping it from him won't change the fact that he's bound to find
out sooner or later." Quinn replied, [We can worry about that when the tcomes.]She told herself it wasn't so
much that she didn't want to cause him worry; more that she dreaded the thought of his disdain and
indifference. Being considered a dummy was enough to earn his scorn.
Dr. Hughes sighed, "Okay, then. I'll stop by tomorrow to check on you. Make sure you write down anything you
remember, and we'll figure it out then."
Quinn nodded in agreement.After giving her a deep, assessing look, Dr. Hughes noticed her fever had subsided
for the day, eliminating any immediate need for him to stay.He exited the villa, climbed into his car, and returned
a call to Alexander.
The response was swift, "How is she?""Stable," Dr. Hughes replied. "I'll prescribe her sherbal remedies to
take; constant colds aren't a good sign.""Alright, sendthe prescription, and I'll have someone pick it up."
After ending the call, Dr. Hughes added Alexander on a messagingand quickly scribbled down the
prescription on a piece of paper, snapping a photo to send his way.Alexander forwarded the prescription to Kyle

health was on track, especially if it was something serious - she might not even make it to the late stages. That
evening, it was Kyle Astor who delivered the herbal concoctions; Alexander hadn't returned.
