When Balfour stepped out, Quinton instinctively tried to follow, but Alyssa grabbed him tightly.
"Quinton, don't go. Hang out with us for a bit."
Quinton grimaced, "Well..."
At this moment, Balfour was filled with worry for Ellinor. He didn't notice Quinton being stopped by Alyssa and walked out alone.
Once Balfour was out, Alyssa started grilling Quinton, "Quinton, spill it! How did Balfour get hurt? Is it serious?"
Quinton, trying to keep Alyssa from worrying, couldn't just up and leave.
This place wasn't a real morgue, but a spare room in the hospital set up to look like one.
Yet, due to being unused for a long time, it was quite creepy. The two elderly people might feel uncomfortable here.
Quinton said, "Ma'am, I swear I wasn't pulling your leg earlier. Balfour's injury is not serious. As long as he takes good care of it, there won't be any major issues. Please don't worry; he won't be irresponsible about his own health."
Alyssa wouldn't let it go, "Quinton, stop beating around the bush! I'm asking how Balfour got injured!"
"Well..."
Without a doubt, Balfour didn't want him to spill this to Alyssa, but he couldn't just leave.
"This place isn't good for your health, especially at your age. Why don't I escort you somewhere to rest first?"
