Lucy had planned to take a nap, but now she didn’t even consider it. They stayed in the living ro together.

Quinn didn’t want to worry her. She genuinely thought it would pass.

pushing far past the speed limit the entire way.

A motorcycle cop had been behind him the whole time.

Everything after that, the fines, the paperwork, someone else handled it.

Julian didn’t care.

He stayed with Quinn the entire time.

At the ER, after a quick exam and a few questions, the doctor made a cali.

Acute appendicitis. Tests confirmed it. They moved her into surgery immediately.

By the time Quinn was out, it was already past eight that evening. Julian had been waiting outside the entire time.

Only after she was taken in did he speak to Lucy. “Go home.”

“I’m not leaving,” Lucy said, her eyes red. “This is my fault. I shouldn’t have let her eat ice cream and then all that heavy food…”

The doctor had mentioned that sudden diet changes could trigger this kind of issue.

Lucy blamed herself.

Julian didn’t.

“What’s done is done,” he said. “Go get some rest.”

Lucy blinked, surprised. “Wow… you’re not yelling at me? And you’re actually being nice?”

Julian gave her a look, clearly not interested in the conversation.

Lucy lowered her head. “I shouldn’t have called you.”

Julian’s gaze sharpened. “Who else were you going to call?”

Lucy hesitated. “Quinn said she doesn’t like you… doesn’t want to see you…”

‘Stop,” Julian said, his tone turning cold.

Lucy immediately went quiet. At the time, she had panicked. Calling Julian had been instinct.

In her mind, he was the one person who could handle anything. Now that she had calmed down, she felt conflicted.

Even if she still thought they worked well together, Quinn clearly didn’t want him involved.

Maybe she shouldn’t have called.

But it was too late.

He had carried Quinn out himself, stayed with her the entire time, and was still here.

Which incant… Quinn now owed him something.

Realizing that, Lucy quickly said, “Julian, you’ve been dealing with this all day. You’ve got work tomorrow. You should go. I can stay with her.”

Julian looked at her. “You? And what exactly are you going to do?”

Lucy frowned. “I can take care of her just fine.”

“I’ll handle it,” Julian said. “If you don’t leave now, then wait until she’s out and go home after.”

“Julian…”

He didn’t say another word, just looked at her. Lucy immediately backed down.

The surgery didn’t take long.

With current medical tech, it was routine. Minimally invasive, quick recovery.

Still, it was surgery.

Quinn remained unconscious from anesthesia when they moved her.

Julian didn’t say who he was. He just had someone arrange the best private room available.

Once everything was settled, he turned to Lucy again. “Go home.”

Lucy made one last attempt. “It’s not really appropriate for you to stay. I mean… you’re a guy…”

Julian looked at her, voice steady. “What exactly did you see last night?”

Lucy froze. “I saw…”

The memory hit her. Quinn was sitting on his lap.
