Fhad brought Moon from school and was in the kitchen making lunch when she called for me
“What is it, Ma Mira!” 1 asked when I got to the living room.
“Look at this” She said pointing to the big screen and increasing the v
volume of the television
“Is that not Quinn?” She asked, squinting her eyes as she stared into the screen. I shifted my gaze from her worried face to the big screen and my eves widened when I saw Quinn sining on the ground with Fleur beside him. His left hand was soaked in blood and he was in pain.
“Multi–millionaire. Quinn Winfrey sustained a lot

while chasing the notorious criminal that has been on the run for a while now. The
police…
Everything suddenly became silent and the first sentence kept replaying in my head as I stared blankly at the screen
How did Quinn get involved with a notorious criminal to the point of getting this injured? Throughout the years I was married to him, he never got involved with criminals and I couldn’t place my hands on what exactly would make him get involved with them now.
“Call him call him. Quick! Grandma Mira’s voice trembled

“Hello! Quinn! Where are you now! What happened to you!” I asked immediately the call connected.
Before he would answer the first question, I asked some more questions and got no reply.
Maybe he was not the one who picked up the call, I thought and looked at the phone with a confused expression.
Grandma Mira collected the phone from me out of impatience. She didn’t understand what was going on.
“Quinn, where are you? Why am I seeing you on the news? What happened to you?” She threw questions at him without giving him the chance to answer any of them
It could be that Veronica was the one who picked up the call. One thought about her, my y expression changed
Grandma Miras face suddenly lat up and it only meant one thing; she just heard Quinn’s voice.
If relieved bearing her query hum for getting himself hurt and I didn’t want to waste any more time, I collected the phone from her and asked him where he was and told him to send the address.
He finally spoke and my heart ached at the sound of his voice. I was so scared that something g worse had happened to him that my heart ached.
I cut the call after getting all the info needed and I picked up my bag and car keys. Grandma Mira immediately followed me to pick up her handbag
Thankfully, Claire was in the house and she had gone to take over from me in the kitchen and I was relieved. The food could have gotten burnt if

sorry miss, you cannot see him now. Only family members or relatives can. She finally replied with a stern look on her face.
knew it was procedure but if only she knew how important it was for us to see Quinn, she wouldn’t refuse us entry.
“Nurse please, it’s an emergency and we would like to see him now” Grandma Mira tried to convince her but she shook her head.
Tokay Ma” I said tapping Grandma Mira who looked so worried.
Thank you for your time nurse.” 1 greeted her and pulled Grandma Mira aside, she looked so confused at that point.
“What are you doing Ana1 We need to go beg them to let us see him. Why are you thanking her? She didn’t do anything?” She argued but I pulled her further away from the counter and when I was sure that the nurse wasn’t looking at us. I stopped and held her shoulders.
“I know she didn’t do anything, and we’re not going anywhere other than Quinn’s room,” I said with a reassuring smile and she arched her brow “How do you mean? H
How are we going to get in if she won’t let us?” She asked again, still not getting my point..
“We’re going to let ourselves in,” I replied with a smirk and her eyes widened.
k the door and go in when the roast is
“We just need to watch carefully for any nurse or relatives of his who would want to visit him, we would mark clear” I explained and she smiled at my idea.
After waiting a few minutes and nothing was in sight, Grandma Mira was beginning to get worried. We even tried Quinn’s line a couple of times but it was not reachable, it must have gone off or he purposely switched it off. Either way, it wasn’t reachable so we had to figure it out by ourselves.
“He looks familiar,” Grandma Mira’s voice had me turning in the direction and I saw no other than Fleur, walking proudly with a tray of food in his hand to a hall.
I looked around and the nurses were all di
distracted.
“Quick, let’s follow him I instructed and we followed him without him noticing. When he walked into a room, we knew that it was Quinn’s room.
The duo were inseparable.
After some minutes, we walked to the door as naturally as possible and knocked on the door. Fleur opened the door and we walked in to see Quinn on the bed and Veronica standing beside him.
A frown laced my face when I saw her. What did I expect? I was probably lost in my thoughts and worry for him that I forgot that he had a girlfriend who would be there for him.
I felt stupid for running li
like someone whose house was on f
was on fire for someone who had someone who took care of him already.
Grandmu Mira ran to him and asked loads of questions but I stood aside and glared at him.
