Love Unspoken

However, taking Quinn back now would be considered a betrayal. Alexander remained silent, carefully reviewing the medical report once again.

After a brief pause, he slid the report back into its folder and then looked at Kyle. "What did the doctor ay?"

Kyle shook his head. "The doctor couldn't explain it either. So what should we do now?"

Alexander stared out at the pouring rain, his expression inscrutable. The hospital was filled with noise, but the sound of rain drowned out the commotion inside.

Kyle stole a glance at Alexander's face. But besides a dark expression, he couldn't discern anything. It was unclear how long Alexander stood there before finally stepping out.

Kyle immediately opened an umbrella, holding it over Alexander's head, and they headed towards the parking lot.

The door repairman also arrived. He couldn't help but feel shocked as he looked at the door that had been kicked in.

The repairman said, "This lock is completely broken. It can't be fixed. It needs to be replaced."

Orion leaned against the door frame, glancing at the large footprints on the lock. He cursed Sean under his breath but said aloud, "Change the lock then."

The repairman replied, "I didn't bring any locks with me. Would you prefer to purchase one yourself for me to install, or should I go back and retrieve one for you?"

Orion didn't want the hassle. He waved his hand dismissively. "Just go and get the lock. I don't want to fuss about it."

"Alright, I'll go get it now. Do you want the same brand?" the repairman asked.

"Sure, how much is it?" Orion inquired.

The repairman answered, "$4200."

Orion nearly choked. He never thought that a lock could be so expensive. Before, he wouldn't have thought twice about spending $4200. But now, he was skint!

The repairman asked, "I also have cheaper locks available. Do you want one?"

The repairman was feeling a bit frustrated. He found it strange that someone residing in a nice neighborhood couldn't afford a $4200 lock replacement.

Orion asked, "What's the cheapest one?"

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

The repairman replied, "It's $180 for a standard lock. Of course, there's also the key lock option, which is cheaper at $30."

Orion pondered for a moment, then turned back to look at Quinn, who was rummaging for snacks inside the house. He made up his mind. "I'll go with the $30 one."

He needed to start saving money now, as he had someone else to support.

The repairman simply replied, "Okay," gathered his tools, and left without saying another word.

If Orion wasn't worried about Quinn running away, he wouldn't have bothered to fix the door. When the repairman finished and left, the person sent by Ryan to deliver the money also arrived.

A man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, arrived. He held a black umbrella in one hand and extracted a brown paper bag from his coat with the other.

"Orion, Ryan sent me to bring this to you. He told me to remind you to spend wisely."

Orion took the brown bag, opened it, and took a look inside. He grimaced. "There's not much here. How am I supposed to budget with this?"

The man smiled. "Well, I've done my job. I'll take my leave now."

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! After saying this, he picked up the dripping umbrella and turned to leave.

Orion closed the door, placed a chair against it, and then went back to the sofa with the leather bag to count the money inside.

7500 dollars.

Not bad. It should last for a month.

Quinn, holding a bag of chips, leaned in to watch Orion count the money.

Orion gestured with the bills in his hand, saying, "This money is for you to buy food. Let me know what you'd like to eat, and I'll get it for you."

Quinn, munching on chips, grinned as she imagined a selection of snacks.

Orion furrowed his brow. "You should eat less. You just finished a meal, and now you're reaching for more snacks. Eating too many snacks isn't good for your health."

Quinn hugged the snacks to his chest, appearing somewhat reluctant. Before Orion could continue, the creaky door swung open once more.
