Love Unspoken

Sebastian nodded in understanding, choosing not to probe further as the day's events had provided him with ample insight. Secretly giving Orion a thumbs-up in admiration, he marveled at his brother's audacity-snatching another man's wife had clearly left the victim reeling with fury.

Emerging from her room in the newly exchanged attire, Quinn, in her long black down jacket trailing to her heels, appeared slightly awkward in the oversized garment. Both its size and her slim figure make her head and body looked distinctly out of place.

"Your hair is still wet." Orion seized her hand and guided her back inside, urging her onto the bed where he proceeded to assist in blow-drying her hair.

Quinn felt uneasy, nervously seating on the bed. The sound of the blow-dryer and the sensation of his fingers combing through her hair led her mind astray once more. Without looking up, she often mistook the figure behind her for Alexander.

Alexander had spoken the truth, and she was raised by him. His most cherished moments included bathing her, drying and styling her hair. Long ago, he always wore a black headband around his wrist, just as Quinn enjoyed grooming her dolls. However, her dolls had ultimately met the same fate-abandoned in a cluttered room.

As Orion blow-dried her hair, he stole occasional glances, sensing Quinn's distress. Unsure if it stemmed from Alexander or their marriage, Orion's guilt compounded further. The clandestine nature of their marriage application only added to his remorse, a murky affiliation that he dared not reveal to even his parents.

The arrival of Alexander had intensified his feelings of recklessness and regret, not only for himself and his family but for Quinn as well.

In the hospital room, Alexander had awakened, with Kyle engaging in a dialogue with the doctor.

The doctor asserted, "Hospitalization is necessary. His injuries are severe two fractured ribs. Fortunately, he did not have any organ damage. Otherwise, his situation would have been graver."

Kyle hesitated and was well aware of Alexander's temperament. How could he possibly be expected to rest peacefully in the hospital at a time like this?

Sustaining such severe injuries, he still persisted in approaching relevant authorities. His recent marriage to Quinn added another layer of uncertainty. Perhaps it would be simpler to end it all rather than watch Alexander suffer in the hospital. "Do I need to be hospitalized? Can't I recuperate at home?"

The doctor furrowed, "That is an option, but the regular check-ups are crucial. Is it really worth going back and forth?

Before Kyle could finish his sentence, he was startled by Alexander's call from behind. "Kyle."

Pausing, Kyle swiftly turned around to find Alexander sitting up. His pale face had no color, and fatigue was evident in every feature.

Approaching him hurriedly, Kyle inquired, "Alexander, how are you feeling?"

Glancing at the doctor, Alexander conveyed his unspoken request. He prompted the doctor to exit the room.

Once the door closed, Alexander pressed, "Where is Dorothy now?"

Dorothy, Valerie's biological mother and Wayne's ex-wife, had caused a scene at the Kennedys when Valerie had died, but he had since disappeared.

Recalling the individual in question, Kyle responded, "She's still in Amber Bay. The court ruling remains pending, and she's been tirelessly searching for people, intent on ensuring Miss Lu receives the death penalty. Alexander... why do you ask about her?"
