GoodReadUpon noticing the door slightly ajar, Ms. Miller mustered her courage and gently nudged it open. The sound of
retching greeted her, and she quickly moved towards the source of the distress.
"Quinn? What's the matter?" Ms. Miller's voice echoed with concern as she rushed to the young woman's side.
She glanced down to find that Quinn had already flushed away the evidence of her discomfort. With a grimace,
Quinn wiped her mouth on her sleeve and looked up at Ms. Miller. She gestured dismissively, indicating that she
had merely overeaten.
Ms. Miller hesitated, her gaze shifting between the toilet and Quinn's pained expression. "Should | get Soren to
take a look?" she suggested.
Quinn shook her head, attempting to wave off the concern. However, another wave of nausea hit her, and she
doubled over the toilet once more.
She had already expelled everything she had consumed earlier, and what followed was a bitter, acidic fluid. Her
stomach convulsed violently, as if her intestines were knotting together, relentlessly churning upwards. Once the
retching subsided, Quinn slumped to the floor, too drained to move.
"Quinn, are you okay?" Ms. Miller asked cautiously.Quinn managed a weak nod and a feeble wave of her hand,
signaling that she was fine.
Despite her doubts, Ms. Miller decided not to press further. "Oh, by the way, Mr. Kennedy askedto bring
sclothes to him. Which should I take down?"
Quinn, bereft of strength, couldn't discern whether the spasms were in her stomach or her heart. She gestured
weakly. "You can take whatever you want."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a nod, Ms. Miller exited the room and randomly selected a set of clothes from Quinn's wardrobe.
Upon descending the stairs, she found the living room deserted. A quick search revealed no sign of Alexander's
coat draped on the sofa. The realization hit her - Alexander had truly left.
Ms. Miller sighed heavily. Men were indeed unfaithful creatures. Witnessing Alexander's blatant betrayal of Quinn
stirred a pang of sympathy within her.
Upon returning to the bedroom, she found Quinn had managed to pull herself up. Seeing her unsteady steps, Ms.
Miller quickly went over to help her. "Quinn, are you okay?"
Quinn nodded and, with Ms. Miller's support, settled onto the bed. She looked at the clothes in Ms. Miller's hands
and gestured, asking if they had left.
Ms. Miller's face turned a shade paler as she nodded. "I didn't see anyone when | went downstairs. I'll put the
clothes back for you."
After hanging the clothes back in the closet, she returned to Quinn's side. "Quinn, don't you think you should see
a doctor?" Quinn shook her head slightly, signaling that she was tired and needed rest.
"Alright, rest well. I'll go downstairs for now. If you need anything, you can use the internal phone on the bedside
table."
The internal line, installed by Kyle two days prior for Quinn's convenience, was meant to provide a quick means
of calling for help.
As Quinn collapsed onto the bed, the room fell silent, save for the faint patter of rain against the windows. It was
raining again. Quinn closed her eyes, and the image of the two embracing downstairs flashed in her mind,
triggering another wave of nausea. She curled up into a ball, pulling the blanket over her head.
