GoodReadHad Alexander not saved her back then, Quinn found herself contemplating if she might have found some
semblance of happiness by now. Her hope dwindled as a streak of light pierced through the gaps between the
leaves, catching her attention.
Quinn's eyelashes fluttered open, and with a painful effort, she lifted her head. Through the pine needles, she
discerned a distant silhouette. Gripping her abdomen, she mustered her dwindling strength, laboriously making
her way out of the underbrush.
The figure was a considerable distance away, over three hundred feet.
Struggling in silence, Quinn endeavored to close the gap.
She had to save her child...
The source of the light was a flashlight, held by a patrolling security guard.
Regrettably, as she lay prone on the ground, the guard was oblivious to her presence.
The flashlight beam briefly swept in her direction before quickly moving on, and the guard continued his patrol.
As the light and the guard receded, Quinn's hand relaxed, her strength gradually fading.
The last spark of light in her eyes extinguished into darkness.
"Ouch!"
Getty winced in pain, jerking upright from her semi-slumped position on the couch.
"Easy there! That really hurts," she complained.

Her injured leg was in Alexander's grasp. The gash on her calf was deep, and the scab had not yet formed.
Sticky, coagulated blood clung to the wound, the surrounding skin bruised and threatening. Alexander had been
applying medicine to her wound with a cotton swab, which prodded her wound and nearly brought her to tears.
Alexander glanced at the swab in his hand and sighed. "Just stay still," he advised.

"| didn't move, you know? You're the one who's getting all distracted while tending to me. Which girl has caught
your attention now?" Getty's voice was a playful blend of mock annoyance and flirtation, devoid of any real
malice. Alexander glanced at her, a teasing smile playing on his lips, "Which girl?"
"There's a whole parade of them itching to get into your bed. How would | know which one you're thinking of?"
Getty retorted, rolling her eyes before adding, "Be gentle, alright? It really hurts. | can't stand the pain." "Whose
fault is that?"
"My fault, obviously! It's like pulling teeth just to share a simple meal with you." Getty grumbled.
Alexander responded with silence, picking up the iodine to continue applying it carefully to her wound. His
previous distraction was gone.
Observing his newfound focus, a sweet smile spread across Getty's face. He did care about her, didn't he?
Certainly more than that dummy ever did.
While they were attending to the wound, the phone on the table rang. It was Kyle.

Kyle hung up, feeling anxious. He was sure of one thing. Alexander wasn't asleep. He just didn't pick up the call
because he'd guessed what Kyle wanted to say. Alexander understood everything. He was just too cold-hearted
sometimes.
Seeing Alexander's continued silence,
