"Wait for ..." These two words ultimately turned into emptiness.
A slight soreness surged in her nose, but the tears never fell.
Mabel Quinn took a deep breath. It was ti for her to take action, to act for the child.

Edward Quinn had not yet woken up, but his condition was improving steadily. The doctor even ntioned that he might wake up in the coming days.
This was good news for most of the Quinn Family. Over the years, Edward had beco the stabilizing force of the Quinn Family. With Edward around, the Quinn Family would surely remain secure.
Christopher Quinn breathed a big sigh of relief. On one hand, he hoped for his elder brother to wake up soon, so that the Quinn Group could truly be stabilized, preventing the enormous Quinn Family from collapsing. Yet, on the other hand, his elder brother’s car accident had a connection to his youngest son.
Based on the series of evidence from the police at the mont, Christopher didn’t need a court’s judgnt to know that his youngest son had tampered with his elder brother’s car, causing this tragic accident.
These days felt endless for him; his second wife, Camille Grant, hired a lawyer and spent every day discussing how to reduce Michael’s sentence, to minimize his prison ti.
And every ti he saw Michael, who had beco a wasted person, there was a sense of powerlessness, while looking at his elder brother lying on the hospital bed filled him with guilt.
Christopher Quinn was tornted, yet grateful to heaven because at least his brother was about to wake up.
However, for Camille Grant and Alessia Quinn, this absolutely wasn’t good news. Edward’s injury was caused by Michael; if Edward wakes up, how could he possibly show a good face to their side?
Moreover, Edward’s character was not soone to let things slide easily; the punishnt might even be harsher.
Camille Grant believed that once Edward woke up, the heir of the Quinn Family wouldn’t even be considered; it would only be the other side’s. Her son was the culprit, and her daughter hadn’t won Edward’s favor. Perhaps in the end, the family fortunes would have nothing to do with their side.
Alessia Quinn was aware that Mabel Quinn was actually the biological daughter of her uncle, which made her worry much more than her mother.
If her uncle wakes up, he will naturally see that report from the identification center. Even if he doesn’t see it, he might call the center, or perhaps the center had already called him.
Thus, Alessia Quinn hoped sothing unexpected would happen to Mabel Quinn before her uncle acknowledged her. Why wasn’t Mabel the one hurt in the car accident?
Of course, she hadn’t told her mother about Mabel being her uncle’s daughter. If her mother knew, she might hope that Mabel and Thomas would have a clash, and then they could profit like fishern!
From a perspective of gain, this would indeed be better, but Alessia Quinn couldn’t bear the fact of Mabel becoming the first daughter of the Quinn Family.
Soone she had once looked down upon, thought only worthy to be trampled upon, suddenly becoming able to trample her, was unbearable!
Even now, Mabel is already the lady of Lord Neptune, an identity that has far surpassed the so-called title of the first daughter of the Quinn Family. Yet, Alessia Quinn couldn’t accept Mabel becoming the miss of the Quinn Family.
