Chapter 881 Oliver glanced at Alexander. "So, what do you think?" Alexander just shrugged, not giving an answer.
Quinn nodded, worry etched on her face. "When will Abigail wake up?" Oliver sighed, shaking his head. "I don't know, hopefully soon." The injuries were bad but not life-threatening. If they were, she'd be in the ICU, not here.
"It's all my fault," Quinn muttered, looking at the sleeping Abigail, guilt gnawing at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbigail had been in danger because of Quinn more than once, yet she still treated Quinn like a friend. Quinn had no idea how to repay that. Oliver tried to comfort her. "Don't blyourself. Abigail won't hold it against you. It's rare to have a friend willing to risk their life for you." He continued, "Think about it. How many friends would you risk your life for? If she's willing to do it, it means you're worth it." Quinn looked up at Oliver, his words making her feel even worse.
In her mind, she thought, 'I'm not worth it. I've let Abigail down so many times. I don't deserve her friendship.' Oliver pressed on, "If it were you, wouldn't you do the same?" Quinn fought back tears. She didn't answer, but the answer was yes.
Oliver reassured her. "Then you are worth it. Don't overthink it. When Abigail wakes up and knows you've regained your memory, she'll be happy." Quinn was surprised. She hadn't expected him to comfort her instead of blaming her.
It was Abigail lying in the hospital bed, yet his words made Quinn feel like she was being overly tic.
Quinn forced a smile at Oliver. "I understand. Can I stay here with Abigail for a while?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

Oliver smiled. "Of course." Quinn glanced at Alexander. He was on the couch, playing with his phone and seemingly not paying attention. It seemed to be silent consent.
Quinn pulled up a chair and sat next to Abigail.
The room fell silent. Oliver felt awkward, so he stood up. "Alexander, can we talk privately?" Alexander glanced at him, then got up and followed Oliver out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter they left, Quinn relaxed a bit. She held Abigail's hand and whispered, "Abigail, please get better soon. I'm still waiting for you to takeon a trip. I haven't been to any of the places you've been." Quinn had always dreamed of traveling the world with Abigail. It was a dream she longed for but couldn't reach.

Quinn stayed by her side, just as Abigail had stayed by hers before.
Outside the ward, Oliver and Alexander reached the stairwell and both lit a cigarette. Seeing the bandage on Alexander's hand, Oliver asked, "Are you really okay?" Alexander looked at him. "What do you want to say?"
Oliver paused. "Just wanted to thank you for helpingfind Abigail And, I wanted to apologize for what happened before."
Alexander, cigarette in hand, leaned against the wall and glanced at him. "Why say all this?"
Oliver replied, "We've known each other for years. I consider your am friend and don't want any business En interests to mess that up." X
