She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 401

Tristan Vance's expression tightened in alarm; the last time Hunter came back from the mines, he had been tanned dark and looked emaciated...

Seeing Miles's dark gaze fixed on him, he didn't dare say another word, quickly replying in a low voice, "Yes, Mr. York, I'll go arrange it right away."

Miles returned to the hospital room, his movements slow and quiet, afraid of waking Quinn Avery, who was still resting on the bed.

He stepped closer to pull the covers up over her, staring down at her pale complexion.

Reaching out, he gently brushed a stray lock of hair away from her temple.

A flicker of tenderness, one he hadn't even noticed himself, flashed through his eyes as he let out a soft sigh.

His voice was deep and magnetic. "Quinn, if you were trapped in the restroom, couldn't you have just called for help?"

Outside in the hallway, Ethan Leigh watched the scene unfold, his fists clenching tight as the eyes behind his pristine glasses hid a barely contained fury.

He desperately wanted to barge in and demand to know what right Miles had to sit by her side.

What happened to Quinn wasn't an accident; someone had maliciously targeted her, deliberately locking her in that stall.

Instead of investigating to get her justice, the man actually had the audacity to ask why she hadn't called him for help?

Miles's entire focus was on Quinn, completely unaware of the eyes watching him from the doorway.

Ethan waited outside for at least twenty minutes, and seeing that the man was still lingering inside, he finally gave up.

He coldly withdrew his gaze, walked down the hall, and made a phone call.

Half an hour later, Hunter and Gail arrived at the hospital room to report their findings.

"Mr. York, according to the hotel staff, the restroom wasn't under maintenance at all. Someone set it up on purpose and even placed a signal jammer outside the door so Mrs. York wouldn't have any cell service, cutting her off from the outside world."

"Someone deliberately targeted her?"

"Yes, Boss. Someone was definitely trying to hurt her."

Gail set down the food container she was holding, her face filled with shock. "Who on earth could be so vicious? Trapping her in there for so long?"

Hunter found it a bit strange; why wasn't the boss ordering a background check on the man who saved her?

Did he already know who it was?

But he wisely didn't ask. "Right away, Mr. York."

...

Morning light pierced through the thin mist and filtered into the room. Quinn lay in the hospital bed, her breathing shallow, her long lashes casting shadows over her cheeks as night quietly transitioned into day.

The room was cool and silent. Miles sat back in the visitor's chair, his eyes closed as he rested.

He didn't slouch or look disheveled; that inherent, untouchable elegance of an elite remained perfectly intact.

"Luna, Caleb... Mommy's fine..."

Quinn dreamt that her two children were rushing toward her, their eyes brimming with tears as they anxiously asked if she was hurt.
