"Okay, I'll head back first."
She turned and walked to the elevator like a child caught doing something wrong.
The burning gaze on her back disappeared only when the elevator doors slid shut.
Quentin Vance stood by the elevator for a moment.
Then he looked away, turned, and strode expressionlessly toward Parrish York's hospital room.
...
A few minutes earlier, inside the room.
As soon as Vivian Xavier walked in, she frowned and demanded coldly, "Why is Bonnie Hayes here? I warned her not to come and upset you again."
Parrish leaned against the headboard, his handsome face clouded with frustration and gloom.
"I asked her to come."
His voice was hoarse; the argument had clearly drained him.
Vivian let out a cold, exasperated laugh at his miserable state.
"If you really still like her, just pursue her openly. Honestly, I think Bonnie is way better than Seraphina Miller, and a much better match for you."
Parrish let out a self-deprecating, icy chuckle as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke.
"Is that so? Too bad she's changed so much lately. She's vain, selfish, and nowhere near as good as Seraphina."
"You can't even compare them. No matter how hard Bonnie tries, she'll never be as outstanding as Seraphina. She just can't accept that reality, which is why she keeps throwing tantrums and acting completely out of line."
Vivian shook her head in disbelief, a hint of mockery in her tone.
"You have to actually give her a chance before you write off her potential compared to Seraphina."
Parrish furrowed his brow, pressing his lips into a tight line without replying.
He had actually considered paving the way for Bonnie.
