Love Unspoken

"What's going on!" Alexander barked.

His face twisted. If he wasn't holding Quinn up, Soren would've been toast by now.

Soren stuttered, "She got super upset, and her blood pressure went through the roof, but she's chill now." Alexander glanced at Quinn again and saw her breathing was back to normal.

His face relaxed a bit. Ignoring Soren, he used his sleeve to wipe the blood from Quinn's mouth.

Quinn closed her eyes for a sec, then looked up at Alexander and softly said, "Alexander."

Alexander froze. Seeing the plea in Quinn's eyes, he went quiet.

After what felt like forever, he finally said, "If you don't want them around, they won't come anymore."

Quinn sighed in relief and closed her eyes.

Alexander gently laid her back on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and sat down, looking all conflicted.

Soren stood there, head down, trying to be invisible.

But Alexander still shot him a look.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Even without looking up, Soren felt the heat of Alexander's glare. He kept wringing his hands, sweat dripping from his palms.

"Soren, spill it. She really..."

Alexander left the sentence hanging.

Soren got the hint, and cold sweat ran down his back. If those foreign docs had been here, Quinn might've been a goner before they even started.

The silver needle trick Soren pulled was something most docs couldn't do, which is why Alexander was kinda calm.

Soren's face showed he was torn between talking and staying quiet.

He was scared Alexander might lose it and kill him if he knew the truth.

Alexander pushed, "What's up? Scared to say it or don't know how?"

Soren wiped his sweaty palms and stammered, "Mr. Kennedy, honestly, instead of wasting time with those docs..."

Under Alexander's intense stare, Soren whispered, "You should spend more time with her."

Alexander stared hard and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You already know," Soren muttered.

Even though Soren's voice was low, Alexander heard it.

But Alexander didn't blow up. He sat there, dazed for a moment, then looked back at Quinn.

Rubbing his temples, he closed his eyes, exhausted, and ordered, "Everyone, out."

Feeling like he just got a get-out-of-jail-free card, Soren bolted, leaving the room dead silent.

Quinn lay there quietly, eyes closed, her breathing so faint she barely seemed alive.

Kaitlyn had tried to visit twice but couldn't get in. The next day, she came again and was stopped by the bodyguards. This time, she forced her way in.

Matthew rushed in to report, "Mr. Kennedy, Kaitlyn's here again. We can't stop her."

As soon as he finished, Kaitlyn burst in.

"Alexander!" Kaitlyn shouted.

Alexander frowned and glared at Kaitlyn. "Get out."

Kaitlyn's eyes flicked to Quinn, her expression shifting. "What's wrong with her?" she asked.

Quinn's face was ghostly pale, looking pretty scary.

Alexander sneered, "Isn't this what you wanted to see? Why act like you care?"
