GoodRead"Quinn, you..." The nanny's voice quivered with trepidation. They had acted out of desperation, merely hoping to
pacify the child. However, a wave of panic washed over them as they realized the enormity of the situation -
Quinn had lost two children, a tragedy instigated by Harold's mother.
Quinn raised her head, her gaze locking with theirs as she clutched the baby a tad tighter. The child began to cry
again, his wails hoarse from incessant weeping. Perhaps her grip had tightened excessively.
"Quinn, please hand the baby back to us. We'll find a solution," the nanny pleaded, extending her hand once
more, this twith the intent to reclaim the baby. But Quinn, cradling the child protectively, pivoted and started
to walk away. She had barely taken two steps when she collided with a man's chest, instinctively recoiling.
"Mr. Dalton," the nanny exclaimed, relief washing over her. It was then that Quinn finally looked up to find
Alexander Dalton standing before her, his face devoid of any emotion. Her fingers tightened around the baby's
swaddle as she stared at Alexander.
Alexander glanced at the still-crying infant and inquired, "What's happening here?"
The nanny quickly filled him in, "Little Alex has been quite fussy lately. We thought Quinn might be able to
soothe him, but... she refuses to hand him back."
Alexander's gaze returned to Quinn. "Why are you holding him?"
Quinn's lips pressed together in silence. She didn't even know what she planned to do. All she could think about
were her own two innocent children, and a voice inside her insisted she had to do something to honor their
memory. As for what that something was, she was at a loss. She just knew subconsciously that she didn't want to
relinquish the child.
"Handthe baby," Alexander commanded, extending his hand.
Quinn held the child tighter, took a step back, and refused. Alexander's expression hardened, his voice
escalating. "I'll say it once more, givethe child!"

She faced him defiantly but didn't move. Alexander, losing his patience, attempted to take the baby from her
arms, but Quinn held on tighter. Their struggle only amplified the baby's cries, the hoarse wails pulling at the
heartstrings. "Quinn!" Alexander's voice was laced with anger, his fury palpable to anyone within earshot.
She looked up at him, the rage in his eyes mixed with concern for the baby, and her heart ached even more. He
had never displayed such emotion when she had lost their child. The sympathy he now showed for Freya's child,
while being so indifferent towards hers, was unbearable.
Suddenly, Quinn felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, more intense than she had ever experienced before.

face her. Quinn drew a breath, the
cold wind piercing her lungs like
needles. Her voice trembled as she
gestured, "But we were going to have
a child. It was he who allowed their
decision to abort, he who disliked
that the child would be like her a

simplicity wasn't innate, he merely
wanted to have a child himself,
showing no signs of remorse.
