Love Unspoken

Either way, the doctor was certain Alexander was a bad man.

The female doctor despised jerks like him with his attitude. However, she could not ignore Quinn's plight. Thus, she prescribed her some anti-inflammatory drugs. She also instructed Alexander to make her eat something light.

Quinn had been eating very little lately. On that day at the night market, she even ate some roadside food, which worsened her condition due to the stalls' lack of hygiene. After collecting Quinn's medicine, Alexander led Quinn out of the hospital.

He promised to take her to eat something delicious, but when they arrived at the restaurant, he only ordered a bowl of stew for Quinn.

After all the trouble Quinn had been through, her face immediately fell when she saw the stew being served. She put her spoon down and stared accusingly at Alexander.

Alexander held the bowl, stirred the stew inside, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to her mouth. "Open up."

Quinn tightly pursed her lips and shook her head, refusing to eat the stew.

Alexander said, "You can only eat something light for now. Can you wait until you're better before we eat something else?"

Quinn shook her head once more. She raised her hand to push the man's hand away and gestured, "I want to eat spicy beef."

Alexander vetoed it outright. "No, you can only have stew!"

Quinn angrily glared at him with her eyes turning red in an instant as she gestured, "Liar!"

He had deceived her into sitting through all those tests just to feed her stew at the end of the day. Quinn would not stand for that.

Alexander did not argue with her because he was indeed a liar.

He put down the bowl and tilted her face up with his hands. As he gazed into her eyes, he whispered, "Didn't I tell you just now? You can have spicy beef when you're better. If you eat it now, your stomach will hurt. Aren't you afraid of stomachaches?"

Upon hearing that, Quinn hesitated.

Her stomach did ache a little. It was a dull pain that she could not quite describe.

Alexander picked up the bowl again and patiently said, "Open up. Be a good girl."

Quinn fell silent for a moment before obediently opening her mouth and to be fed some stew.

Actually, she was not that ill. At her age, she was the most obedient, the easiest to coax, and the clingiest.

As Quinn drank the stew, she noticed that Alexander was distracted.

Although his eyes were on her, his focus was not on her face. Several times, his hand had strayed and poked her on the nose.

Quinn immediately snatched the bowl from his hands and fed herself.

She was quite hungry, and the stew tasted good, so she ate it with relish.

Alexander snapped back to reality with his gaze focused back on her face.

With her head down, she was fully focused on the stew she was solemnly decimating.

On her face and in her eyes, there was a pure innocence that clean and untainted, devoid of the complex thoughts and nature that would belong to an adult.

It was strange. He was always lost in his thoughts.

Quinn raised her hand and waved it in front of him.

Alexander caught her hand. "Are you done with your food?"

Quinn nodded, then patted her belly. deliberately puffed it out and pulled her clothes tight to show him her bulging stomach.

She smiled at Alexander and gestured, "I'm going to be a mom."

She was joking, but Alexander's eyes flickered, and he did not laugh.

Quinn blinked, then obediently settled back into her chair.

After a while, Alexander's finger landed on her belly, and he played along, asking, "Really? How many months?"
