Quinn
Terry walked into the room, surprised at the crowd that filled the room.
He furrowed his brows when he saw Junior who waved at him with a sweet smile.
“Hi Terry, remember me? It’s nice to meet you again. 1
“He greeted but Terry avoided his

Junior smiled at this, making Fleur grit his teeth. He was messing with grown men, making us feel inferior
1 heaved a sigh of relief as Terry averted the attention that was on me. For the first time since I knew him, I was grateful for seeing him
ed at him with an arched brow
“Don’t worry Terry, we’ll be together soon, I know you miss me, and I miss you ton Terry looked at:
Grandma Mira looked stunned all the while, I was certain that she was trying to process what she heard if she heard Junior call Terry by his name or if she had a hearing malfunction.
“What do you mean by that Terry asked, referring to the part where junior said they’d be together soon.
I knew he was talking about the hangout but Terry was clueless.
“Don’t worry, you’ll understand soon enough” He replied curtly and his mother nudged him
She was probably looking at him, trying to understand how her son was fearlessly talking to a stranger
Terry was a stranger to her but to Junior he was just another male he would use for his mind games.
“Uhh, it’s so boring in here. Mom, let’s go home. I have a new project to work on plus Quinn here looks fine to me. He even talks well. With the way you sounded. I thought his hands and legs were caught off.” He said with a lazy gesture and his mom nudged at him again..
“Yeah, I think you should go. Thank you for taking time from your very tight schedule to come to see your uncle. Fleur said sarcastically.
“Quinn, we’ll be going now, please take care of yourself and no more fights. Take some time off work and rest so you will get healed” My cousin · rambled on and on and on and I cut her short with an “I appreciate your care but I’m fine thank you.”
She paused and looked at me speechless for some seconds before holding Junior’s hand and leading him out of the room.
Phew! Finally! I screamed inwardly after Junior left. That was a close one. He almost fald me out to everyone.
“I think we should be on our way too, since he’s well” Ana directed her words to Grandma Mira who nodded.
“That’s alright, take care of yourself, Quinn, no more fights with criminal.” She warned, pointing an index finger at me.
“Yes, ma’am,” I bowed my head slightly, trying to mask the sadness I felt seeing Ana leave me again.
“Thank you for coming to see us Grandma, we appreciate your care? Veronica who has been quiet all this while finally spoke with a dry smile.
“Oh, it’s nothing, take good care of him” She replied and Veronica touched my

“Sure, I will, I’ll take good care of him” She replied, smiling at Ana who averted her gaze with a scoff.
They turned to leave but I called out Ana. “You didn’t bring a sick man any food? Is that any way to treat a patient!”
She looked at me with an arched brow and shifted her gaze to Veronica who stood beside me.
Her gaze asked what Veronica’s duty was as my girlfriend if she made me food.
I understood her stare but I pressed further.
“Am I going to get a no even on my sick bed?” I asked and Grandma Mira beat her hand and pinned in.
“Oh, sorry my son. We rashed down as soon as we saw the news, we didn’t have enough time to make anything. Phes we didn’t know how severe your condition was. Bringing food might be irrelevant so we just came anyways but not to worry, Ana’s going to bring you something delicious
“Ma Mira!” Ana protested laat Grandina M
Mira ignored her.
“Thank you, Grandma, you’ve been in helpful.” I said with a smile at her but shifted my gare to Ana who glared at me.

Chapter 72
She wasn’t the only one sending blazers through their eyes, Veronica and Terry were too.
He probably thought that I was using my condition as an opportunity to spend time with Ana and he wasn’t wrong.
She would have burnt down the whole room if her eyes could shoot fire.
After the trio left, I stretched my figure on the best.
“I’m tired. I need to sleep. 1 feigned a yawn and covered my eyes with my free hand.
Fleur understood my hint and turned to Veronica. Let me drive you home. You can come to check up
Veronica nodded at this and tumed to me with a sober expression before following Fleur out.
Fon him tomorrow”
I sighed when she left and engrossed myself in the thoughts that troubled my mind.
Fleur came back minutes later and sat on the sofa in the room
“Why do you look restless man? You look troubled” He noted.
The way Fleur knew me and what was wrong with me with just an expression on my face was impressive. Even Veronica barely knows when I’m troubled or sad
“It’s impressive man,” I remarked.
“Huh?” He asked with a puzzled look.
“The way you know my emotions even before I say anything is impressive.” He hissed at my words.
“Speak now or forever hold your peace. He retorted.
“Alright man. I’m just confused about the turnout of events. I planned to catch the criminal before telling Ana everything but now, he’s do I tell her when the criminal is dead? I’ll look like child’s play” I explained with a worried tone.
gone.
How
“I understand what your plan was but you have to work with the change of plans too. Tell her everything you discovered and everything the criminal was involved in, let her know that you intended to bring him to his knees before her before he was shot by the police Fleur advised and I nodded to it.
Explaining things to her would be the way to go. Even if she sees me as weird and child’s play, explaining my progress might help a little.
With a determined look, I rubbed my jaw with my fingers.
