Love Unspoken

Alexander's eyes locked onto her tear-filled ones. His lips moved, but no words came out.

Getty's tears streamed down as she reached out, trying to grab his hand. "Alexander, even if you lie to me, it's okay. I don't think I can hold on much longer. Lying here every day is really painful," she pleaded. Alexander frowned, irritation flickering across his face. He suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Stop overthinking. Get some rest. I'll come see you another day."

Getty's hand froze in mid-air before slowly lowering. She watched Alexander leave, tears sliding down her cheeks.

Once Alexander had left, the doctor approached. "Mr. Kennedy, Ms. Morgan's condition is deteriorating."

Concerned, Alexander inquired, "What makes you say that?"

The doctor sighed heavily. "She has been resuscitated twice, suffered significant blood loss, developed pulmonary edema, and sustained multiple fractures. She requires pain medication daily, but excessive use can lead to adverse effects."

Alexander said, "Give her the best medicine and cure her."

"We'll do our best," the doctor replied.

Alexander paused for a moment, then left and returned to Quinn's ward. Quinn had fallen asleep again.

He frowned and asked Olivia, "Didn't she sleep last night?"

Olivia responded, "She did sleep, but perhaps she became restless and dozed off again."

Alexander walked to the bed, gently shaking her shoulder. "Quinn."

After calling her several times, Quinn slowly opened her eyes. Seeing it was him, she raised her hand to rub her eyes. "When can I go home?" she asked. Alexander paused. "Come with me for a trip first."

Quinn didn't want to move; she felt exhausted and just wanted to sleep. But she forced herself to sit up, got dressed, and followed him out of the hospital.

It was freezing outside. Quinn wrapped herself in a down jacket, her neck shrinking against the cold. When the wind blew, she huddled even more.

Seeing this, Alexander grabbed his coat and wrapped her in his arms, holding her close as they walked to the parking lot. "It's not far, we'll be there soon," he said. Quinn nodded, snuggling into his arms to block the wind.

After getting in the car, she still felt sleepy. She leaned against the window, and as the car started moving, her eyelids began to droop.

Alexander drove, occasionally glancing at her. Half of her face was hidden in the furry collar, her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

He slowed down the car, parked by the roadside, and looked at her with an unreadable expression.

His phone rang in his pocket. Alexander took it out and saw it was Orion.

He answered, and Orion's impatient voice came through, "Are you coming or not? I've been waiting for two hours. If you don't show up soon, I'm leaving." "Just hold on!" Alexander snapped.

Orion wasn't pleased with his tone and said irritably, "You tell me to wait, so I wait? I'll give you half an hour. If you don't show, I'm gone." With that, he hung up angrily. Alexander put his phone back in his pocket and started the car again.

Arriving at City Hall, Alexander gently woke Quinn up. She rubbed her eyes, groggily looking around. "Where is this?" she asked.
