Love Unspoken

Chapter 188

Quinn's lips pressed into a thin line, a silent admission that she couldn't accept the situation at face value. As she lay there, Ariel's absence was a glaring reminder of the harsh reality. The mounting hospital bills were left unattended, a stark contrast to the reassurances that everything was alright.

Juliet's voice broke through her thoughts, "You're here now. Don't you have to return? Won't Alexander be furious?"

Quinn pushed the thought aside. She was already at the hospital, and if not for this visit, Juliet's fate might have been different. Shaking her head, she offered Juliet a comforting glance. "It's okay, don't worry."

Yet, how could it be okay? Alexander's threat lingered in her mind. She wasn't certain if he was merely trying to intimidate her, but Quinn had an inkling that he was serious.

"I'll wait until your IV is done, then I'll arrange for a nurse to look after you," Quinn offered.

Juliet waved her hands dismissively. "No need, no need. Don't squander money on that. At my age, I'm just grateful you came. I was just pondering, if I passed away without seeing you one last time, could I rest in peace? But now I'm relieved; I've let go of all my worries."

Quinn's eyes welled up at Juliet's words. Despite their lack of blood relation, in that moment, they felt like family, their bond transcending the conventional definition of kinship. They were both people without a home, and only those who've experienced such loss could truly comprehend each other's sorrow and suffering.
