Chapter 318: Chapter 318

Quinn Lockwood hesitated for a moment, then decided to call Cameron Grant: "Bro, Nina Sinclair fainted, she’s on the third floor, please come help me."

There was a slight pause on the other end, then a voice said, "I’ll be right there."

Cameron Grant took about five minutes to arrive at The Sinclair Residence, which surprised Quinn Lockwood so much that she wondered if he had some kind of teleportation superpower.

Ignoring any etiquette issues, Cameron Grant picked up Nina Sinclair and carried her to the hospital.

The doctors and nurses took Nina Sinclair to the observation room, and Quinn Lockwood quickly called Elias Sinclair to inform him about Nina Sinclair fainting.

Quinn Lockwood and Cameron Grant sat outside the observation room waiting for the results, both of them worried, with their brows furrowed, silent.

Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway, and Quinn Lockwood looked up to see Elias Sinclair approaching, his face cool, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"What happened?" the man asked in a calm voice, his expression slightly tense.

Quinn Lockwood looked worriedly at the tightly closed door of the observation room and recounted the events to Elias Sinclair.

Shortly after she finished, the doctors and nurses brought Nina Sinclair back to the ward.

The nurse attached an IV line to Nina Sinclair, and the doctor followed with a lab report.

"You’re all Nina’s family, right? Here’s the situation: the patient doesn’t have any major issues, it’s just malnutrition causing weakness and mild anemia." The most update n0vels are published on nοvelfire.net

The doctor looked at Elias Sinclair and the others, then at Nina Sinclair lying on the bed, and added, "This lady is already underweight, no need to lose more. When she wakes up, please advise her against dieting."

Elias Sinclair’s face darkened upon hearing the doctor’s words. He frowned as he looked at the sleeping Nina Sinclair.

"Well, this is partly my fault. Nina, a few days ago, asked me how I maintain my figure, and I just said, ’Eat less, move more...’"

"Had I known she would be so hard on herself, I wouldn’t have... shouldn’t have said that." Quinn Lockwood bit her lip, looking somewhat guilty at Elias Sinclair.

If only she had noticed Nina’s abnormal behavior earlier.

The man’s expression darkened a bit, and he glanced at Quinn Lockwood, saying, "You shouldn’t diet either, or I won’t mind adding an extra meal every night."

"What? I can’t not diet; I’m an entertainer, you know." Quinn Lockwood was a bit startled to find Elias Sinclair bringing this up to her and quickly spoke up.

"Starting tonight, you’ll have an extra meal every night." Elias Sinclair’s eyes flashed slightly as he calmly looked at Quinn Lockwood.

Quinn Lockwood’s smile twisted upon hearing that, and she looked helplessly at Cameron Grant.

She gently tugged at her brother’s sleeve, moved her lips silently, and mouthed, "Bro, help me."

But Cameron Grant just gave a soft chuckle, clearly not intending to help Quinn Lockwood.

Because he also thought Quinn Lockwood was too skinny.

Quinn Lockwood fell silent, lowered her head, and pouted without paying attention to the two of them.

About half an hour later, Nina Sinclair finally woke up.

"Bro... Bro, why are you here?" As soon as Nina Sinclair opened her eyes, she saw Elias Sinclair standing sternly by the bed.

Seeing Nina Sinclair awake, Elias Sinclair’s tense expression softened, but in the next moment, a hint of anger appeared.

"Like your sister-in-law, you are not allowed to diet anymore, or I’ll have Grandpa watch you both at every meal." The man looked sternly at the two rebellious women.

Nina Sinclair pouted, with a slightly aggrieved smile, initially seeking comfort from Quinn Lockwood, but upon raising her head, she saw Cameron Grant.

"Cameron, is that you?" Nina Sinclair sat up quickly, only to feel a bit dizzy due to the sudden move.

Excited to see Cameron Grant, Nina Sinclair ignored it and casually pinched her forehead with her hand.

"Nina, your hand." Seeing the blood backflowing in the IV line, Quinn Lockwood’s expression changed slightly and quickly called out.

"Nurse, nurse." Cameron Grant frowned and quickly went to call a nurse to handle it.

The nurse came in, and upon seeing the blood backflow for a long section in the IV line, her expression changed abruptly: "How did so much blood flow back? If it was any later, it would have flowed back into the drip chamber. It’s really negligent."

Nina Sinclair was also a bit scared upon seeing the long backflow of her blood and quickly smiled at the nurse, promising to stay still.

After the nurse replaced the IV line and left, Nina Sinclair burst into laughter. She looked at Cameron Grant and said, "Cameron, I knew you cared for me. You were the first one to go out and get the nurse for me."

"No, I was just closest to the door." Cameron Grant’s face remained expressionless, his tone was indifferent.

Hearing this, Nina Sinclair’s smile froze, and her eyes glimmered with unshed tears.

Noticing Nina Sinclair’s emotional state, Quinn Lockwood quickly moved quietly beside Cameron Grant and jabbed him hard in the back, signaling for him not to hurt Nina.

Yet, her brother seemed to ignore her signals, without any change in his expression.

"Since Miss Sinclair is fine now, I’ll take my leave, Elias. You and Savannah stay with her." Cameron Grant swept a glance at Nina Sinclair, with a hint of distance in his smiling eyes, then turned to Elias Sinclair.

"Please." Elias Sinclair nodded, saying nothing more.

Elias Sinclair had always been clear about Cameron Grant’s attitude toward Nina Sinclair.

Nina Sinclair’s eyes welled with tears, looking sorrowfully at Cameron Grant. She wanted to ask him to stay with her for a while but didn’t have the courage to speak up.

"Bro, I’ll walk you out." Quinn Lockwood was a bit worried after looking at Nina Sinclair and quickly followed Cameron Grant.

Quinn Lockwood walked Cameron Grant downstairs, and as they were about to exit the hospital doors, she tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Bro, aren’t you too cold to Nina? You’re not with others, did Nina do something to upset you?"

Cameron Grant stopped, with a slightly cool look in his eyes.

He turned to Quinn Lockwood, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, and said, "No, Miss Sinclair is fine."

"Bro, then why are you so indifferent to her? Can’t you be a bit gentle? Nina... really likes you." Quinn Lockwood was a bit puzzled, looking at Cameron Grant with a conflicted expression.

Cameron Grant felt a strange sensation pass through his heart and softly said, "I know, that’s why I’m distant."

"Sometimes the best way not to hurt someone is to give them no hope at all."
