GoodReadQuinn sat quietly beside Alexander, accompanying him in undisturbed moments, which was quite pleasant. The sun outside the window slowly dipped out of sight, bringing another night to Sylvadora.
However, today was Christmas. Outside, every household was illuminated with lights, and the fireworks were spectacular, but the hospital was quieter than ever. Listening to the bustling noises from outside, Quinn leaned into Alexander's arms, her gaze fixed on the dazzling fireworks in the night sky outside the window. Suddenly, Alexander's phone rang, and Quinn hurried over to hand it to him.
It was a call from Kaitlyn.
Alexander furrowed his brow but still answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Kaitlyn's voice cfrom the other end, "Alexander, aren't you in Amber Bay? It's Christmas, aren't you coming home?" Alexander's face was calm, and he waited for Kaitlyn to finish before he spoke, "I'm not in Amber Bay. I'm not coming back." Kaitlyn asked, "Why aren't you coming hfor Christmas? Who are you with?" Kaitlyn was oblivious to the events in Sylvadora, as she never followed such news and had not been informed about Alexander being in the hospital.

It's justleft in this house," Kaitlyn lamented, her tone growing increasingly desolate, exposing an overwhelming sense of loneliness. She sighed, "Even the servants have gone home.

Alexander replied, "I can't cback." "You..." Kaitlyn was at a loss for words, perhaps feeling too lonely. Hearing Alexander's indifferent tone, an inexplicable bitterness surged within her. Kaitlyn's voice was filled with a mix of sadness and disappointment," Are you ignoring your mother because of that mute girl?" Alexander subconsciously glanced at Quinn.
