Chapter 332 The Decision
Sierra hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. She walked over to Johnathan’s side, trying to help calm Quinn down. But as soon as she touched Quinn’s hand, Quinn violently flung her away. Sierra’s arm hit the cabinet withathud, and she let out a soft cry ofpain.
“Don’t touch me!”
Quinn’s eyes were filled with fear and panic.
Johnathan’s expression shifted instantly when he saw Sierra get hurt. He forcefully pulled Quinn up and said coldly, “Calm down! No one here wants to hurt you. Snap out of it!”
Maybe his words had some effect, because Quinn’s expression slowly became clearer. She seemed to finally recognize them.
“Johnathan. Sierra!”
Her gaze fell on Sierra,and it looked like something clicked. A guilty look spread across her face.
“I’m sorry,
Sierra. I didn’t mean to..I’mso sorry.”
She quickly reached toward Sierra’s hand but pulled back halfway, as if afraid of hurting her again. She looked completely conflicted and pitiful.
It really did hurt when she hit the cabinet, but Sierra couldn’t bring herself to hold it against someone who wassick
She shook her head. “It’s fine.”
Now that Quinn had calmed down, Johnathan let her go and took Sierra’s hand. When hesawher wrist was redandswollen, he frowned. “Get it checked.”
Without giving Sierraachance to refuse, he took her straight to orthopedics.
The results came back quickly–no fracture, just a bruise. Some ointment would be enough.
Johnathan’s face was dark. He was burning with frustration, but he hadnoideawhoto take it out on.
Quinnwassick. He couldn’t hold it against her.
“It’s okay. I didn’t expect her reaction to be that intense,” Sierra said.
She truly hadn’t expected Quinn’s condition to be this severe. It was like shedidn’trecognize anyone else. That burst of aggression–she’d looked at Sierra like she was the enemy.
“The psychiatrist examined her. Shehassevere violent tendencies now. She doesn’t trust anyone around her.”
Except him.
When she lost control, he was the only one she recognized. Everyone else might as well have been strangers.
Thepsychiatristsaid treatment would take time. It would require patience, and helping her relax slowly. But Johnathan didn’t think that was realistic.
He didn’thavethat kind of time, and he definitelydidn’thave that kindofpatience.
He’d been mulling over what to do with Quinn, uncertain before–but now, he’d made

his mind.

Chapter 332 The Decision
Finished
Quinn was his family, and it was only natural for him to care for her. Still, seeing Quinn cling to Johnathan like that, Sierra couldn’t help but feeljealous.
She hadn’t expected him to makethatkind of decision. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked. “Won’t that make things worse for her?”
“I’m going to get the best medical team and doctors. I’m not a psychiatrist. Leaving her in their care is the best option,” Johnathan said flatly.
He did care about Quinn, but only to a point. He couldn’t spend every waking momenttakingcare of her
He didn’t have the patience or the energy forthat,andhe wasn’t going to let Quinn turn his whole life upside down.
Shewasalready starting to affect his life with Sierra,
“What about Dora?” Sierra asked. “What happens to her?”
“She’ll stay with me for now. Then I find a special school for her.”
There were schools specifically for children with psychological needs.
Sierrahadn’t expected that in just one night, Johnathanhadalready figured everything out.
In that moment, she wasn’t sure whether to be shocked by how cold he could be–or relieved thathe’dmadeadecision.
Noticing the shift in her expression, Johnathan asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Sierra looked at him and shook herhead. “Nothing.”
She’dactuallybeen wondering if it were her in that hospital bed today, what kind ofchoicewould Johnathan make?
Butthethought had barely crossed hermindbeforesheshutit down.
She didn’t want to overthink things. She didn’t want to drive herselfcrazywithdoubt.
Seeing her return to normal, Johnathan didn’t press the issue. Too muchhadhappened lately, andevenhe was starting to feel worn out
Johnathan wasamanof action. Once he’d made a decision, he acted oh it immediately.
A little over half an hour later, the secretary showed up at Quinn’s hospital room with a team of professionals.
Quinn was calm now. When she saw the group enter, she visibly froze. Then, almost instinctively, she looked at Johnathan.
Johnathanwasnever one for sugarcoating. He said directly, “You’re not in a condition to be alone right now. So I found a care facility foryou. They have the best psychiatrists, Work with them, get better. That’s all I want.”
