Love Unspoken

Ruby picked up the phone, and before she could say anything, Walter's voice came through, "Did you agree?"

"Yeah, of course. What's up?" Ruby replied.

Walter sighed and laughed a bit. "You got played by Alexander and you're still thankful. Are you even happy about it?"

Ruby frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Since you agreed, just go ahead and do it," Walter said, then hung up. He rarely contacted Ruby now and hardly managed her affairs.

When Walter wanted to come to Amber Bay, she insisted on tagging along. Her initially reluctant parents eventually agreed, provided she followed Walter's plans.

Walter had the power to decide her stay or leave, so Ruby was still somewhat wary of him.

But it seemed Walter's focus was no longer on the Kennedy Group, and Ruby had no idea what he was busy with.

His words left Ruby puzzled. What did he mean by being used by Alexander?

Quinn spent another day in the department, carrying Maya's bag and occasionally acting as an extra.

Whenever she had free time, she started to doze off.

Maya no longer made things difficult for her, and she came to the office on time every day. At most, she would ask Quinn to buy lunch or reserve a restaurant, with all requests made in advance and no further nitpicking. This made Quinn suspect that Alexander might have talked to her. Otherwise, why had she become so well-behaved?

After work, Quinn returned to Regal Riverside. On the way, she thought, 'Maybe it's time to visit the Wilson Group.'

The Wilson Group had now been renamed the Mellon Group, a name with very subtle implications.

Alexander chose the name, and the message he wanted to convey was quite clear.

Hearing this name made Quinn reluctant to go there.

She put down the documents in her hand and leaned against the car window for a nap.

Upon returning to Regal Riverside, Olivia immediately approached. "Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Kennedy needs to take his medicine."

Quinn paused while taking off her coat. "He didn't go out today?"

Olivia replied, "He did, but he came back in the afternoon. Soren said his illness hasn't improved and is even worse than before. When you're absent, Mr. Kennedy refuses his medicine and IV."

Quinn's eyelid twitched as she pondered his actions. She nonchalantly said, "If he doesn't want to take it, then let him be."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Olivia pressed, "If you don't care about him, he might really not take the medicine."

Quinn opened her mouth but was speechless. Olivia was right; with his temper, he might really prefer to die from the illness rather than take the medicine.

She dropped her coat and headed upstairs.

Olivia shook her head and sighed. With her experience, she could understand Alexander's feelings.

People would engage in self-destructive behavior to prove their importance in others' hearts and to gain the care they desire.

This was a sign of insecurity, which she didn't expect from Alexander.

Quinn pushed open the study door but didn't find Alexander.

She went to another bedroom and found Alexander on the bed, watching something on a tablet.

He used to work in the study, but now he was already in bed. Was his illness really this serious?
