Chapter 115

“Simone, you’re awake” Quinn said and his face lit up with excitement when he saw Simone open her eyes,

“Who are yo

are you?” Simone asked, eyeing the unfamiliar face in front of her with curiosity

Quinn’s smile grew even brighter when Simone spoke. Tim the son of the man in the wheelchair you saw earlier. You can call me Quinn”

The mention of the wheelchair made Simone suddenly remember what had happened not long ago. Simone thought, ‘It seemed that man had

saved me

Simoneaned around, then she flashed Quinn a sweet, innocent smile and said, “Quinn, can you tell me where I am right now!”

Simone thought. I looked innocent and pitiful enough to win anyone’s sympathy But Simone didn’t realize that, with her face still smudged with dirt and her messy clothes, she still looked like the same little street kid they’d found.

Quinn didn’t seem to mind at all. He answered seriously, “You were hurt pretty badly. We’re at the hospital now”

Seeing that Quinn wasn’t bothered by her appearance, Simone thought, “my act of playing the pitiful card was working

So Simone continued, “Quinn, where did your dad go!”

Quinn replied without hesitation. “He went to see the doctor about his leg. He said he’d come by to check on you later.

Simone nodded and didn’t say anything else.

After a while. Quinn asked, “Simone, what about your family? Why are you here all by yourself?”

“I don’t have any family Thinking of Samuel far away back home, Simone’s eyes turned red as she shook her head, still keeping her guard up inside.

Hearing this. Quinn felt both sorry for Simone and a little happy. He patted his chest and said, “Then why don’t you come home with me? Be my little sister from now on. I promise, no one will ever dare to bully you.”

Simone curved her lips into a smile, pretending to be happy as she agreed, “Sure, I’ve always wanted a big brother. But the moment Quinn looked away, Simone’s smile faded instantly

Years on Infinity Island left Simone wary. No matter how kind Quinn seemed, Simone couldn’t let her guard down.

Quinn had always wanted a little sister. Even though Simone looked like a scruffy street kid, he liked her from the very first moment, Hearing Simone’s agreement to come home with him, he was over the moon.

That day, Quinn brought Simone all kinds of snacks, taught her how to play games, and even gave her his favorite game console

That afternoon, after Nolan finished his checkup, he came by to see Simone, Sécing how much fun Simone and Quinn were having. Nolan just stood quietly to the side, not wanting to interrupi.

It was the kind of happiness Simone hadn’t felt in ages. If the pain and memories from Infinity Island didn’t keep reminding Simone how cruel people could be, maybe she really would’ve let herself get lost in this fleeting joy.

That night, after Quinn left, Nolan looked at Simone and said, “Come back with me. I can adopt you.”

Simone thought, Go back with him? I have to admit I was tempted for a moment! But Simone quickly pushed the thought away and thought, We weren’t even related, why would he go so far for me?

Simone nodded at Nolan, looking at him with unreadable expression. Fine, she answered.

Later that night, Simone climbed out the window and left the hospital, taking the snacks and game console Quinn had given her.

Simone thought, Nolan and Quinn had saved me when I was on the brink of death, and the warnath they showed me was something I’d never forget. I wanted to believe in them!

For days, Simone would lock herself in her room as soon as she got home, only coming out for meals. She didn’t even visit the game room she used to love She’s been like this ever since they returned from Kenneth’s birthday party.

Cyrus had just assumed Simone was in a bad mood and figured he’d talk to her when the time was right.
