GoodReadDespite his history of violent tendencies and having caused her pain in the past, Quinn had not anticipated him
to be her savior.
Nevertheless, she managed to convey her gratitude to him through a simple two-word gesture: Thank you."Your
thanks don't seem to hold much value," Walter retorted, attempting to rise to his feet. However, a sharp pang of
pain from his reopened wound made him wince, forcing him to sit back down. Quinn's gaze fell upon the fresh
blood that was steadily seeping out onto his black trousers, darkening the fabric. "You're bleeding," she pointed
out. Unfazed by the pain, Walter merely smiled at her remark. "What? Are you worried about me?" he asked, his
tone laced with amusement.
Avoiding his gaze, Quinn prepared to take her leave. She had no desire to get entangled in any further
complications with Walter."Ungrateful little thing, | saved you, and you're just going to abandonhere?" he
called out, halting her in her tracks.
Turning back to face him, Quinn noticed his pallor under the dim light, a clear indication of significant blood loss.
Even his smile seemed to have lost its usual vibrancy.
After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and gestured, 'I'll help you with that wound. Can you promise not
to pursueafter this?"
Walter watched her hands move, his amusement growing at her earnest expression, which revealed a certain

maintaining a safe distance from him.
Walter, sensing her reluctance, added, "That tracker on your ankle, don't you want to remove it?"Quinn paused,
her eyes narrowing with suspicion. She didn't trust him completely. However, she didn't fall for his bait."Come
over and helpup," Walter beckoned, his smile seemingly benign.
But Quinn knew the monstrous face that lurked behind that smile.Seeing her reluctance, Walter suddenly raised
his hand, brandishing a gun at her. "Or, we could play a game-let's see if you can outrun my bullet."Quinn pursed
her lips, her gaze fixed on the dark muzzle of the gun.
She knew she couldn't outrun his bullet. Her eyes fell on the bleeding wound on his leg. The injury, sustained just
two days ago, had been exacerbated by recent strain, causing further damage. Weighing her options, Quinn
concluded that in his current state, he wouldn't pose much of a threat.
Gathering her courage, she took a deep breath and approached Walter.However, as soon as she was within his
reach, he seized her with one hand, causing her to stumble onto the couch.
Before she could react, he leaned over and pinned her down."I hear you can talk now?" he asked, his eyes
gleaming with amusement and a hint of danger.Quinn forced a smile and shook her head in denial. "I'll give you
a chance. Call'brother," and I'll let you go. How about it?" he proposed.
The word 'brother' made her freeze. She couldn't discern whether Walter was joking or if he had overheard
something the previous night.
