She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 290

He yanked his suit jacket over her, wrapping her up tightly so nothing was exposed.

"Mr. York, we're at the hospital."

The moment the car stopped, Miles immediately scooped Quinn into his arms and carried her out.

...

Quinn slept through the entire night. When she finally opened her eyes the next morning, Gail was the first person she saw.

"Gail..."

"Ma'am, you're awake! You must be hungry. Let's get some warm oatmeal in you."

Gail poured a bowl from the thermos she had brought.

"Ma'am, please don't be mad at me. Last night... when I saw Mr. York come home, I couldn't hold it in. I told him you went to find your brother."

Why would Quinn be mad at her? She couldn't be more thankful. If Miles hadn't shown up, she would have been...

The thought made tears prick her eyes. Her voice was weak. "Gail, thank you so much for last night."

Miles, dressed impeccably in a crisp suit, stepped into the room just then. Hunter followed behind with a briefcase, smiling warmly.

"Ms. Avery, you're awake. That was a close call last night. Thank God Mr. York made it in time."

Miles frowned sharply. "Both of you, get out."

Gail set the bowl down, and she and Hunter quickly slipped out of the hospital room.

Miles pulled up a chair and sat down. His expression was cold and distant, as if the man who had been tangled up with her in the backseat last night was a completely different person.

"Do you even remember what happened last night?"

Quinn had no memory of the later events. She only knew he had saved her, and she fully intended to thank him, but right now, all she cared about was her brother.

"My brother... is he okay?"

Miles's face tightened with annoyance when she ignored his question to ask about her useless brother. "He won't die!"

Quinn remembered rushing to The Aurora Club to save AJ, only to be forcefully drowned in liquor. After that, everything was a blur.

"Quinn, you told me to stay out of your brother's business. I thought you actually knew what you were doing. Who knew your brilliant plan was to run in there alone and get yourself forcefully drugged. Is this what you call being capable?"

"Are you out of your mind? Going to The Aurora Club by yourself to play hero? Do you ever use your brain before you act? If I hadn't shown up when I did, did you really think you'd be sitting here in this hospital bed in one piece?"

Quinn clutched the bedsheets tightly, her eyes welling with frustrated tears.

She had absolutely no defense against his words.

She had assumed she could just throw some money at the problem and walk away. She never imagined her brother had borrowed from such ruthless loan sharks, or that they would force her to drink to settle the debt.

She had been entirely too impulsive.

Pushing down the bitterness in her chest, she wiped away her tears and pressed her lips together. "Miles, thank you. I promise, I will repay this favor."

Miles stared at her. He had saved her from ruin last night, let her completely take advantage of him in the car, and all she had to say was, *I'll repay the favor?*

An inexplicable wave of irritation flared in his chest.

He scoffed coldly. "Repay it? With what?"
