Love Unspoken

"Thanks to you guys, now I get questioned by the cops and the DA's office multiple times a day," Alexander scoffed.

"You say that like it's my fault."

Alexander smirked. "Of course, it's not your fault. You're just focused on snagging a bigger piece of the inheritance now."

Kaitlyn's expression changed, and the smile on her lips froze.

"You're talking nonsense. I'm most concerned about you. That was why I just called Paul over. I simply wanted to make sure you weren't being framed." Alexander's face was unreadable.

Kaitlyn stared at him, feeling uneasy as if he could see right through her.

After a moment, Alexander stubbed out his cigarette and stood up.

"I'm leaving."

Kaitlyn was taken aback and quickly stood. "You're leaving already? You just got here."

Alexander paused, looked back at her, and mocked, "What else do you expect? Should I call Paul back so we can chat some more?"

Ignoring her, he walked away without looking back.

Back at Regal Riverside, Olivia and Soren approached him.

"Mr. Kennedy."

"How is she?" Alexander asked.

Soren and Olivia exchanged glances, each waiting for the other to speak. Alexander frowned, his gaze shifting between them. He then headed upstairs.

He opened the door and found Quinn still asleep.

He reached out to touch her forehead and found it was no longer hot.

Alexander turned to the two. "Has she been in bed all day?"

Olivia nodded and whispered, "Yes. Besides, she hasn't had any food all day."

"I called her several times, but she didn't get up," Olivia continued.

Soren added, "I tried to give her medicine, but she threw it all up. I did give her some nutrients intravenously, so she shouldn't be in immediate danger." Alexander raised his hand, signaling them to leave.

They quietly exited, closing the door behind them.

Alexander sat down by the bedside.

The room was silent.

Quinn lay there with her eyes closed, her face pale, looking lifeless. If not for the slight rise and fall of her chest, one might think she was a corpse. Outside, the sky gradually darkened.

The next morning, Olivia knocked on the door, assuming Alexander had left. To her surprise, when she opened the door, he was still sitting there.

Even his posture was exactly the same as when she had left the night before.

Olivia sighed, walked up behind him, and softly called, "Mr. Kennedy, breakfast is ready."

Alexander didn't respond.

Olivia called again, "Mr. Kennedy..."

"Leave me alone," Alexander interrupted her.

Olivia hesitated, glanced at Quinn on the bed, and then quietly left.

After eight o'clock, Alexander's phone kept ringing, but he ignored it.

The ringing was so loud that Quinn's eyebrows twitched.

Alexander took out his phone, ready to hang up. As he noticed her movement, his finger paused over the hang-up button and then slowly moved away.
