She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 454

Quinn gave the caretaker a few more instructions before reluctantly stepping out of the room.

Martha couldn't shake the feeling that she was a burden to her daughter. Her heart ached, and she asked the caretaker to call Arthur Jr. Avery.

She just wanted to hear her son's voice. The caretaker sighed; they had just called him yesterday, and AJ had completely ignored it.

But not wanting to upset Martha, the caretaker dialed the number anyway.

This time, AJ picked up. "Mom, didn't I tell you? I'm busy. Stop calling to annoy me. When I'm done with this project, I'll naturally come to the sanatorium to see you."

Before the caretaker could even speak a single word, he impatiently hung up the phone.

Martha's heart turned cold. Over the past week, she had called him five times.

He ignored the first three. The two times he did answer, he promised to visit the next day. She had waited desperately, but he never showed up.

And now, the moment the call connected, he gave her the same exact excuse.

A bitter smile touched her lips, her eyes growing hollow.

Quinn prepared to head back to Fairview Apartments, only to find Tristan Vance parked right outside the sanatorium.

Seeing her walk out, he stepped directly into her path.

"Ms. Avery, Mr. York sent me to take you home."

Quinn's tone was icy. "Tristan, does your boss think his childhood sweetheart will feel lonely and cold at Regency Bay? Is it absolutely necessary for me to go back just to highlight how important she is?"

Tristan's heart skipped a beat, the color draining from his face.

Ms. Avery had a razor-sharp tongue. She didn't even spare Mr. York from her insults. Tristan certainly didn't dare provoke her.

He shrank back slightly, lowering his head and answering softly, "M-Ms. Avery, Mr. York thought taking a cab would be too exhausting for you, so he sent me to pick you up."
