Chapter 222: Chapter 222

"No..." Being caught sneaking a peek, Quinn Lockwood was slightly startled, her face instantly flushed with an unnatural redness.

Not long after an awkward pause, the two arrived at the hospital.

"Savannah, Elias, come in and sit down quickly." Grandpa Sinclair was pacing in the hospital room. As soon as he saw Elias Sinclair and Quinn Lockwood, his eyes lit up instantly, looking energetic.

Seeing Grandpa Sinclair in this state, Quinn felt somewhat relieved. It seemed that Grandpa’s health was not in serious trouble.

"Grandpa, you should sit down and rest for a while too." After speaking, Quinn Lockwood guided Grandpa Sinclair to sit beside the hospital bed.

"Savannah, when Grandpa gets discharged, come home to stay. During the time you’re away, Grandpa’s heart feels empty." Grandpa Sinclair looked at Quinn expectantly, continuously winking at Elias Sinclair, signaling something.

"I..." Quinn lowered her eyes, appearing a bit hesitant. She was currently living at her place comfortably, doing whatever she wanted without needing to think or worrying about facing Elias, the everlasting iceberg.

Although her relationship with Elias had eased significantly, and the two could even be considered good friends, returning to The Sinclair Residence might inconvenience her plans and actions.

"Savannah, Grandpa feels so stuffy in the chest. If you don’t come back, it’s dangerous for Grandpa to be alone at home." Grandpa Sinclair, clutching his chest and gasping heavily, glanced sideways at Elias Sinclair.

"Grandpa, how are you?" Elias Sinclair, with furrowed brows, stepped forward to support Grandpa Sinclair. Seeing this, Quinn Lockwood was even more worried and quickly called for a doctor.

The doctor told Quinn Lockwood that Grandpa Sinclair’s condition was due to long-term mental stress, leading to internal blood and energy stagnation, requiring good care and keeping a happy mood.

Upon hearing this, Quinn Lockwood had no choice but to temporarily agree to Grandpa’s request and decided to move back to The Sinclair Family for some time.

Indeed, Grandpa Sinclair’s decisive nature hadn’t diminished over time. After instructing Quinn to wait in the hospital room, he took Elias Sinclair to the doctor’s office to arrange discharge papers, then had Elias inform Mr. Lowell by phone, before personally notifying the house staff to prepare for welcoming his beloved granddaughter-in-law home.

Nina Sinclair, upon hearing the servants talking about it at home, grabbed her handbag and rushed to the hospital, arriving in less than ten minutes due to her speed.

"Why is this bitch moving back? I don’t agree!" Nina, storming in without knocking, pointed resentfully at Quinn Lockwood.

"Who allowed you to come in without knocking? Is this how The Sinclair Family teaches manners?" Elias Sinclair looked at Nina with a furrowed brow, his expression cooling instantly.

"Brother, you’re being mean to me for this woman again? I don’t care; I absolutely can’t let this bitch move back to The Sinclair Family!" Nina stomped and yelled, annoying everyone around.

Grandpa Sinclair was also somewhat displeased with Nina’s ruckus, fearing that all his efforts might be in vain at this rate.

"Nina, shut up! Making such a fuss—what does it look like? Savannah is your sister-in-law, and you’re calling her... what does it look like!" Grandpa Sinclair’s white mustache twitched with anger as he reprimanded Nina sternly, leaning on his cane.

He usually turned a blind eye when Nina was a bit spoiled or willful, but now the child was ignoring etiquette, and Grandpa Sinclair couldn’t let it slide.

"You, you all are too much!" Nina, seeing they’re all siding with Quinn Lockwood and speaking harshly to her, burst into tears, gritting her teeth furiously before turning around and running out.

"Hey, Nina." Quinn Lockwood feared she’d recklessly get into an accident as she had before, so she chased after her, attempting to stop her.

"Nina, don’t run so fast. I won’t be staying back for too long." Earlier that morning, to avoid being chased by black fans, Quinn had run barefoot for hundreds of meters, and now the areas on her feet that had been rubbed were still aching. Just as she finally caught Nina’s hand to stop her, she was forcefully shaken off.

"Ouch, it hurts." Losing balance when Nina shook her off, Quinn Lockwood fell to the ground, the pain both in her palms and soles causing her to gasp.

"Are you okay?" Elias Sinclair caught up from behind, quickly helping her up, attempting to carry her, but she avoided his embrace.

"I’m fine. Let’s go back and check on Grandpa first." Quinn Lockwood pursed her lips tightly, glancing at Elias Sinclair lightly before turning back to the hospital room.

The fall really did hurt.

Quinn Lockwood didn’t understand what exactly she did to offend Nina; previously, she didn’t react so strongly when she was at The Sinclair Family. Was it because her brother and she had gotten closer?

This girl might not just be a brother-obsessor!

Recalling Nina’s previous troublemaking at her drama crew, Quinn Lockwood felt even more displeased.

Even though many factors were due to Freya Caldwell’s instigation, the main reason was still Elias Sinclair!

If it weren’t for Elias Sinclair, Freya Caldwell wouldn’t always find trouble with her!

A bunch of rotten peaches, rotten peaches!!!

Quinn Lockwood rolled her eyes several times, recalling the flock of women surrounding Elias Sinclair, feeling increasingly uncomfortable internally.

The man followed behind with slightly furrowed brows, not understanding the reason for Quinn Lockwood’s temper. If he knew what was on her mind right now, he’d probably burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, hiding around the corner, Wade Lynch watched how Elias Sinclair treated Quinn Lockwood with such concern and suspicion grew in his heart.

Even though their families were long-standing allies, Mr. Sinclair, usually cold as ice, shouldn’t be treating Quinn Lockwood this specially.

With Wade Lynch’s write-up and Jonah Hansen’s photo exposure, along with the covert operation by Elias Sinclair and Cameron Grant, Quinn Lockwood quickly regained her public persona.

Not only did those who unfollowed her return to Quinn Lockwood, but they also vowed never to believe in unfounded rumors again. The longtime fans who stayed with Quinn Lockwood swore to stand by their sister forever and never go with the flow! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net

Even those marketing accounts that initially spread the rumors rushed to apologize to Quinn Lockwood, along with the black fans, who seemed to vanish, no longer speaking a word against her.

The head of the talent agency even personally called Quinn Lockwood to apologize, asking her to return to the company soon to prepare for upcoming engagements.

As soon as Quinn Lockwood’s schedule resumed, a group of reporters gathered downstairs at her company, eager for an interview. Ariana Lynch was leisurely eating cherry parfait at home, and when she saw the news about Quinn Lockwood on her phone, she dropped the parfait on the ground in frustration.
