Love Unspoken

As soon as Quinn rolled up, she was unsurprisingly scolded by the doctor again.

"So, you just can't quit smoking, huh? The patient doesn't give a damn about his health, and you, as his family, don't seem to either. What kind of caregiver are you?" the doc snapped. Quinn's eyelid twitched. She shot a look at Alexander, who was lounging on the bed, giving her that innocent puppy-dog stare.

Clenching her fists, Quinn snapped at the doc, "I'm not his family."

The doc looked surprised and then asked, "Then who are you to him?"

"A stranger," Quinn shot back.

"Where's his family then?" The doc, sensing something fishy, turned to Alexander. "Where's your family?"

Alexander pulled out a marriage certificate from his pocket and handed it over. "I don't know where she went. Doc, can you help me find her?"

The doc took the certificate, glanced at it, and then looked at Quinn, whose frown was getting deeper by the second.

As expected, after reading the certificate, the doc laid into Quinn again.

He stressed, "Even if you two are having issues, you can't just leave him hanging. If it's really impossible, hire a caregiver."
