Having basically not slept for 24 hours, Quinn basically fell asleep when she lay down.
On the other hand, Sam, who had caught up with sleep and was less drowsy, did not doze off even after laying in bed for a long while.
He simply lay beside Quinn, watching her sleeping face.
How much longer could he see her like this from up close?
He always knew that Ryan always got what he wanted, and he was no match for Ryan.
He leaned in, unable to resist kissing her on the forehead.
He gulped, the emotions he kept flaring.
He really wanted to hold Quinn firmly in his arms and never let go.
There was no telling how long had passed when Quinn's phone started ringing.
Sam promptly muted it for her and saw that it was Lindsay.
He hesitated, but eventually got out of bed and walked towards the balcony sliding doors. He then answered softly, "Hello."
Lindsay could clearly tell it was him and asked bluntly, "Where's Quinn?"
"She's still sleeping."
"Tell her to come to the hospital—Ryan wants to see her," Lindsay said right away.
"It's only 10 AM, and we only left after 8 AM," Sam said slowly.
