She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 3

"Miles, you're completely blind! Jade insulted me first. Why can't I fight back? She started it!"

At her words, Miles's expression darkened further, and his grip tightened menacingly.-

Quinn's vision blurred, her face pale from the intense pain, but she stubbornly refused to apologize, forcing her tears back down.

"What's going on here? Why the crowd?"

"Make way, please. Let's communicate like adults, no need to fight."

A doctor's voice echoed from down the hall. Forced to comply, Miles finally released his grip on Quinn.

Thrown off balance, Quinn slammed hard into the wall. Her forehead scraped against the surface, immediately welling up with a bright streak of crimson.

Miles looked slightly surprised, his footsteps faltering.

Beside him, Jade clutched her chest and let out a pained whimper. "Miles... my chest hurts."

"Doctor!"

Miles swept Jade up into his arms. Her eyes gleamed with triumph as she shot a victorious smile over his shoulder at Quinn.

Clutching her bleeding forehead, Quinn watched Miles sprint away. The last lingering shred of hope in her heart turned completely to ice.

Even though this was just a contract marriage, no one knew that Quinn had secretly loved him for years.

But she was also painfully aware of the massive gap between them, forcing her to bury those feelings deep inside.

If it hadn't been for that accident... she and he belonged to completely different worlds and would never have crossed paths.

The throb in her forehead and the ache in her wrist were nothing compared to the tearing agony in her chest. Using the wall for support, she pulled herself up.

A doctor and nurse rushed over. "Miss, your forehead needs to be disinfected and bandaged."

"I'm fine, thank you."

She was in a rush to get to the Global Tech Pavilion to work as a translator. She had already accepted an advance deposit last night.

"Mr. Landon, I have time on Friday."

Mr. Landon smiled and nodded. "You are incredibly brilliant and capable, Ms. Avery. A rare talent indeed. If you ever want to come work for my company, the door is always open!"

Quinn had declined Mr. Landon's job offers before because her schedule was unpredictable. She had to take care of her mother at the care facility, and...

Faced with his renewed invitation, she offered a polite nod and gently declined again. "Mr. Landon, thank you so much for your high regard. If you ever need freelance help in the future, as long as I have the time, I'll absolutely assist you."

Mr. Landon didn't push it, though he looked visibly disappointed.

Quinn then received a call from her best friend, Yara Chase, saying she was passing by with the kids.

Overjoyed, she hurried outside. The moment her daughter Luna saw her, the little girl rushed over on her short legs.

Her sweet, sticky voice rang out. "Mommy!"

Yara laughed. "Don't blame me for only bringing Luna. Your Caleb acts like such a little grown-up. He knows I can't carry both of them, so he stayed behind and let his sister come."
