Chapter 139 Why Did You Say That

“Trust me. I’ll save you. I promise!” said Quinn.

The firm, reassuring voice eased the child’s anxiety, and it also made Trent, who had just arrived at the door, halt abruptly in his tracks.

The words Quinn spoke at that moment were eerily similar to what he had heard when he was disoriented in the river back then.

Why… would Quinn say such things?

Yet, why did her silhouette, time and again, seem to overlap with the vague figure he had glimpsed in the hazy recesses of his past consciousness?

Back then, who exactly was the person who saved him?

In a gentle manner, Quinn comforted the child in her arms. The child, who initially had a face full of fear, gradually began to calm down.

Before long, the child had fallen asleep in Quinn’s arms.

With utmost care, Quinn gently placed the child back onto the hospital bed, then tenderly covered him with a blanket.

“Thank you so much for today,” the orphanage director expressed gratefully.

It wasn’t just that Quinn had comforted the child, but she had also saved the child’s life, and he was deeply grateful for what she did.

“This is something I ought to do, no need for thanks,” said Quinn.

Even though she had already retired from the military, the oath she took during her service was still something she intended to uphold for the rest of her life.

“If there’s anything else concerning the child, feel free to reach out to me.” After leaving her contact details with the director, Quinn exited the infirmary.

As soon as she stepped outside, Quinn spotted Trent at the doorway.

Why is he here?

Quinn took a step, intending to sidestep him.

Trent stopped her, asking, “Why would you say something like that to the kid?”

Quinn frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“Y–You told the child that you would save him, that you would definitely save him. Why would you say something like that?” Trent’s gaze was fixed steadily on Quinn.

A type of fear, so profound that he himself couldn’t put into words, was spreading through his heart at that

moment.
