I'll tell you everything.

Qin and Madison left the office under Gerard's pressure. After examining Ayla, Qin realized that she didn't hit her head but her back and passed out because of the shock.

He also stated that Ayla had more marks on her body that wasn't just from that incident and all those marks seemed even more severe than the one inflicted by Gerard.

These results caused Gerard to wonder what she could have been subjected to while in Salem. He wasn't sure if all the Qin's were as a result of her life in Salem or something else.

One thing was for sure, and that was the fact that he wanted to protect her more than ever and to do that, he wished to grant her her freedom so that she could be away from him until he figures out how to break the curse.

He planned to watch her every day and look after her from a distance but staying with her would only make things worse because he could be a greater danger to her.
