Quinn told me to bring some food for him the previous time we went to visit him but I haven’t gone there ever since and I didn’t plan to go there

Maybe his phone was not low on battery after all, maybe he purposely turned it off since Veronica was with him he didn’t want us to come How could I go there without thinking it through! I heat myself up thinking about the incident last time.
Terry came to the hospital and when I asked how he knew we were there, he said he went to the house and neither of us was home. He asked Claire who explained the call we made before storming out of the house.
Lasked how he got to know that he was in that hospital but he told me that it was a secret.
He was also pissed hearing Quinn ask me to bring him food and typical Terry told me not to take him any food.
If only he knew that I wasn’t going to even go see him again. Not after he let me belittle myself and look like a joke before Veronica.
When we were about to leave. Grandma Mira had told her to take good care of him and she leaned closer to him and held his hand with so much affection and smiles, looking at me as she spoke.
“Oh, sure, I will take very good care of him, Though she said it with a smile. I knew that she was far from friendly.
she wanted to tell me to stay off him and that the was capable of taking care of him.
I made me grit my teeth whenever I remember it I couldn’t believe I got worried because of Quinn who treated me badly. How did I suddenly forget!
I sighed and rubbed my face with my right palm and went behind the counter to rest a hit I’d been standing throughout the day and my legs were beginning to ache. I used lots of work to distract myself from thinking about Quinn but I failed at it woefully
It’s been a few days and I refused to go see him at the hospital. Though I pretended like it didn’t affect me, I felt bad within me. My consolation was that Veronica was there and she was going to take care of him but his words resounded in my ears;

Out of frustration, I went into the kitchen where some of the chefs were preparing some orders to supervise the work they did when one of the

sizin was a popular figure so everyone knew him and they knew that I was the only one who attended to him. One of the days when I refused to attend to him, he sat there until it was time to close and refused to leave. I had to attend to him before he finally left.
So to avoid such drama, I always attended to him after that.
I walked to the counter and stood behind it, pretending to talk to one of my staff and supervise their work, I glanced towards his usual seat and saw Jalan staring at thr

“Of course, you don’t know. Tell her man, tell her how you turned CLA for her. He said nudging Quinn who kept mute.
Different thoughts ran through my mind as I processed his words. I haven’t seen Fleur in this mood since I knew him so I knew that it was something that got him upset but his words confused me the more
What did he mean by Quinn throwing himself at the criminal because of me? I don’t know who the criminal was and I had nothing to do with no criminal.
Did Fleur drink? I went mute but my mind was asking different questions and considering different possibilities.

I picked them up and looked at them closely. I could tell that they were screenshots from CCTV recordings and I could see Grandma Mira crossing the road.
He brought out his phone and played different short clips showing the criminal and his movements which I watched, it dawned on me that the criminal was the one who hit Grandma Mira.
I froze in shock as the realization hit me. Quinn went after the hit–and–run driver who hit Grandma Mira
“Why! You risked your life for me!” I asked, still looking at soine of the pictures in my hands.
“I just wanted to catch the criminal who hit Grandma Mira. I was able to catch him for some minutes and I was about to get some info about who sent him before the police shot him on sight. Quinn explained, I could hear the pain in his voice,
My heart melted hearing his words and just when I was about to say something, Moon’s loud voice cut through the room.
He ran to hug Quinn and they got talking. Terry looked confused by my sober expression but he didn’t get to see the pictures because Fleur quickly hid them before Terry and Moon got to the
I was thankful for that, I could have done a lot of explaining if Terry had seen those photos.
Quinn’s tone changed when he suddenly asked if Moon and Terry could go out with him and his nephew the next day.
I was too numb to say anything plus Moon sounded so excited to meet up surprisingly agreed to go out with them.
