By the time Julian walked over, the door had been left slightly open and the nurse had already left the room.

From the hallway he could clearly see Lucy hugging Quinn.

Lucy reached up and pinched Quinn’s earlobe playfully before lightly squeezing her cheek.

“Quinn, how is your skin so nice?” Lucy said with admiration. “Seriously, it’s ridiculously soft.”

Then she leaned forward and planted a loud kiss on Quinn’s cheek. Back when they were in college, Lucy used to joke around like this all the time.

Every single time Quinn would turn bright red from embarrassment. Today Quinn barely had the strength to react. Her whole body felt weak and heavy.

“Lucy, stop messing around,” she murmured softly. “I’m exhausted.”

Lucy seemed perfectly satisfied after stealing that kiss. She carefully helped Quinn lie down on the bed.

“Alright, get some rest. I’m going to…”

She stood up. Then suddenly froze.

A tall figure stood silently in the doorway.

“Seven!”

Lucy nearly jumped. Quinn forced herself to glance toward the door.

Julian stood there with a dark expression. His jaw was tight and his gaze was sharp.

The displeasure on his face was impossible to miss.

Lucy felt a nervous jolt in her chest. What’s going on with him?

He looked like he was ready to start a fight with someone.

“Hey… Seven?” Lucy said cautiously. “You’re still here?”

It took real courage for her to say that.

Julian’s cold gaze moved away from Lucy. Then it briefly landed on Quinn.

Quinn immediately lowered her eyes again. The room had two beds.

Without saying a word, Julian walked inside and sat down on the empty one. Behind him, his bodyguard caught the suit jacket he had just removed.

Julian lowered his gaze and began unfastening his cufflinks.

His long fingers moved slowly over the sapphire cufflinks, and the pale tone of his skin reflected a cool glow that almost rivaled the shine of the gemstone itself.

“Seven?” Lucy asked again

She could clearly tell he was angry. Very angry.

“You okay?”

Julian casually placed the cufflinks on the bedside table. His bodyguard positioned a pillow behind him.

Julian leaned back against it without hesitation.

Lucy stared at him in disbelief. Julian had always been extremely particular about cleanliness.

He was not obsessive to a ridiculous degree, but she had never seen him casually lie down on a bed outside his own home.

Just then the nurse entered with a tray.

Lucy watched in shock as the nurse prepared an IV for Julian as well.

She leaned closer and whispered, “Seven, why are you getting an IV too? Gunnar said your cold wasn’t serious.”

At that moment Julian found Lucy extremely irritating.

“Don’t you have work today?” he asked coldly.

Lucy immediately brightened. “Oh, the company I work for is under investigation right now. Everything’s chaos.”

Julian replied calmly, “Then find another job.”

“Well, Quinn’s sick,” Lucy said. “I need to stay with her.”

“There are doctors and nurses here,” Julian said. “She doesn’t need you hovering over her. Go handle your own responsibilities.”

The message was obvious.

He was trying to send Lucy away.

Lucy might normally feel a little intimidated by him, but there was no way she would leave Quinn alone while she had a fever.

“Seven,” Lucy said stubbornly, “Quinn’s temperature was almost one hundred and two earlier. I’m staying here to take care of her.”

Take care of her? That’s what Lucy calls it? Does kissing her on the cheek count as taking care of her?

Julian felt a surge of irritation he had no way to express.

Just yesterday he had reminded Lucy to keep some distance. Today she had already forgotten everything.

He had not even kissed Quinn’s cheek himself.

Seeing the dark expression on Julian’s face, Lucy decided it was safer not to push the conversation any further

She quietly returned to Quinn’s bedside.

Soon the nurse left the room. Both patients were connected to IV lines. The room gradually became quiet.

Quinn had barely slept the night before, and the medication made her feet drowsy.
