GoodReadAs he reached for his coat, Alexander cast a glance in her direction. "Is there anything else?" he asked. Getty's
face fell into a pout, a glimmer of hurt flashing in her eyes. "Can't you just stay?" she pleaded. "No," he
responded, his tone as sharp as a blade. He paused for a moment, then added, "Not tonight."
Getty felt a surge of frustration, her teeth grinding together in silent protest. She knew his decision was final.
With a resentful sigh, she released her hold on him. "Fine, just go then," she muttered.
She had stayed up with him, naively hoping that the late hour would persuade him to remain. But it was just
wishful thinking. Getty was beginning to understand that men like Alexander had a peculiar talent for taking
someone on an emotional roller coaster in mere seconds.
One moment, it seemed as though he genuinely cared for her. But in the next breath, he would dismiss her
coldly, as if she meant nothing to him. If it weren't for Getty's positive mindset, she would have gone mad under
his hot-and-cold demeanor!
And just like that, Alexander left without a backward glance. It was as if the man who had tenderly applied
medicine to her wounds moments ago was nothing but an illusion.
At the community clinic, Quinn was propped up against the headboard, her lips pale. Two police officers and the
security guard from the previous night stood by her side.
"That's what happened. | heard the window breaking and found her. Got her here and called you guys right
away," the security guard explained.
He had been about to leave last night when he heard the sound of shattering glass. It was Quinn, sprawled on
the ground, who had managed to throw a stone that hit the opposite window, prompting the guard to turn back
and find her. The residents whose window she had smashed were also present, demanding compensation from
Quinn.

Quinn looked up at the young officer and nodded. "Keep it safe. Your ID and everything else seems to be in there.
I've got a handle on the circumstances. We'll catch those two people soon. And here," he handed her a business
card, "is the address for the Amber Bay Disability Support Center. If you've got nowhere to turn to, give them a
visit."
Quinn silently accepted the card, gesturing a quiet thank you after a moment.

The officer then turned to the homeowner, whose window had been broken. "I checked the damage. It's just a
crack. Sglass glue will do the trick. There's no need for a replacement. Given the desperate circumstances
she was in, how about | cover the cost?"
The woman glanced at Quinn, a hint of contempt in her eyes, though she hid it well with her response. "Oh,
that's just great, isn't it? It's always my window that has to get smashed!"
Quinn quietly cast her gaze downward, listening to the woman's words.
"Let's settle it at that," the young officer added. "I'll front the medical bills for now. If you run into more trouble or
have any leads, just cdirectly to the station." Quinn gave a small nod of agreement.
After the officers left, the 'victim' didn't move. She stood before Quinn and demanded, "Hey, dummy, you still
owefor the window."

The clothes in her suitcase had been bought by Alexander and were far from cheap.
The woman glanced at the garments, inspecting and picking through them carefully. She even checked the
seams to find that they were well-tailored.
