She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 119

Miles was completely caught off guard. His dark, piercing eyes locked onto hers.

"What are you talking about? Explain yourse—"

"Ms. Avery, it's time to change your dressing."

Cut off by the nurse's voice, Miles finally took in her appearance. There was gauze taped to her forehead, her hand was heavily bandaged, and she was wearing a hospital gown.

"What... what happened to your forehead and your hand?"

"None of your business!"

Quinn wrenched her arm free, repulsed by his touch, her eyes brimming with a resentment so deep it could never be undone.

Miles opened his mouth to press further, but Quinn didn't give him the chance. She followed the nurse into her room.

The door clicked shut, severing his line of sight.

Lynn wheeled Jade over. "Miles, was that Quinn? Thank goodness she's alright. I can finally breathe easy."

Jade wore a mask of absolute relief, but her eyes were devoid of warmth, her fingernails digging viciously into her palms.

How is this bitch in the hospital? Wasn't she dragged off by those men?

How did Miles find her so quickly?

Ring, ring, ring—

Hunter was on the line. "Mr. York, it's Ms. Avery... something... something terrible happened... the vagrant said..."

Miles sighed in annoyance. "Nothing happened to her. She's standing right in front of me at the hospital. She's in one piece."

Hunter paused, thinking he had misheard. "What? Boss, you found her?"

"Your ears work fine. She's at the hospital. Tell Wyatt to call off the search. She's perfectly safe."

With that, he ended the call.

Jade feigned deep concern. "Miles, is she really okay?"

"What could have possibly happened? She's just throwing a tantrum and playing hide-and-seek."

...

As soon as the nurse exited, Miles stormed into the room, his face like thunder. Quinn was leaning against the headboard. She looked deathly pale, yet her gaze was terrifyingly lucid.

Every time he spoke, it dredged up the pure terror of that night—the memory of him violently dragging her out of the car and abandoning her to a grim fate in that street corner!

She was genuinely afraid she would lose control and do something irrational if he stayed.

She frantically yanked the call button above her bed. A nurse rushed in, and Quinn ordered breathlessly,

"Get this man out of here. I need... I need to rest!"

The nurse looked apprehensively at Miles. "Sir, the patient shouldn't be agitated. Please step outside so she can recover."

Miles's aura shifted instantly, his dark eyes radiating a suffocating, oppressive authority.

The nurse instinctively shrank back, too intimidated to utter another word.

Miles glared at the figure beneath the sheets. She kept her eyes screwed shut and refused to show her face, completely icing him out.

His fists clenched, and his jaw locked tight. Fuming silently, he spun on his heel and stormed out.

Who the hell did she think she was?

If he hadn't taken pity on her and brought her back, drawing the attention of the Pisgo couple, he wouldn't be dealing with all these goddamn headaches to begin with!
