Love Unspoken

Kyle met Walter at the highway entrance, surprised he showed up so quickly.

"Mr. Smith, you got here fast," Kyle spoke up first.

Walter shut the car door, smiling. He strolled up to Kyle and replied, "I'd rather do something meaningful with you than audit accounts." Kyle eyed him and mocked, "I think you actually enjoy auditing."

Walter chuckled. "Caught me, huh? But you know, it's important to balance work and rest. Even I need a break from working overtime." Kyle felt a bit stumped, then quickly changed the topic, "You know what we're looking for, right?"

"Of course, but if we find it, we might get caught red-handed and there'll be no way to explain that," Walter said matter-of-factly. Walter's words hit home for Kyle.

'If we find the body and the cops show up, we could be suspects,' Kyle thought worriedly.

"So, what now?" Kyle asked.

"Ask Mr. Kennedy, not me. I can't take that heat." Walter shrugged.

Kyle hesitated, then called Alexander from the car.

Alexander just told him to keep searching.

With no choice, Kyle instructed Walter to help him search the suburbs for Stanley.

They searched all night but found nothing.

Kyle grew suspicious. He couldn't help thinking, 'Walter's dragging this out on purpose. He doesn't want me to find the body!'

As dawn broke, Kyle felt defeated.

He glanced at Walter, who was casually smoking by the car. "Where's Stanley?"

Walter turned his head to look at him, somewhat amused. "We're both looking for him. If you can't find him, why would I?"

"You know where he is!" Kyle insisted.

Walter raised an eyebrow. "Watch it, or I might sue you for slander."

Kyle glared but said nothing.

He rested a bit, then drove back to the office, leaving Walter to continue the search alone.

At the villa, Abigail came to play with Quinn again.

But Quinn was still asleep. Abigail went to the bedroom and woke her up.

Quinn, rubbing her eyes, was happy to see her. "Abigail, what are we playing today?"

Abigail pinched her cheek. "Eat first, then we'll play."

Quinn nodded sleepily and went to wash up.

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! When she came out, she still looked sleepy from being forcibly woken up.

"What time did you go to bed?" Abigail asked.

"I don't know," came the sleepy response.

Quinn still felt pretty groggy at the moment. She went to eat and reluctantly drank her bitter medicine.

The bitterness jolted her awake for a moment.

Abigail suggested playing hide and seek, and Quinn readily agreed.

Abigail told her to hide while she counted.

Quinn quietly went upstairs and hid in a small room.

As soon as she closed the door, darkness enveloped her, filling her with inexplicable fear.
