Love Unspoken

Quinn sat quietly beside Alexander, accompanying him in undisturbed moments, which was quite pleasant.

The sun outside the window slowly dipped out of sight, bringing another night to Sylvadora.

However, today was Christmas. Outside, every household was illuminated with lights, and the fireworks were spectacular, but the hospital was quieter than ever. Listening to the bustling noises from outside, Quinn leaned into Alexander's arms, her gaze fixed on the dazzling fireworks in the night sky outside the window. Suddenly, Alexander's phone rang, and Quinn hurried over to hand it to him.

It was a call from Kaitlyn.

Alexander furrowed his brow but still answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, Kaitlyn's voice came from the other end, "Alexander, aren't you in Amber Bay? It's Christmas, aren't you coming home?" Alexander's face was calm, and he waited for Kaitlyn to finish before he spoke, "I'm not in Amber Bay. I'm not coming back."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Kaitlyn asked, "Why aren't you coming home for Christmas? Who are you with?"

Kaitlyn was oblivious to the events in Sylvadora, as she never followed such news and had not been informed about Alexander being in the hospital.

"Everyone has left. Your father is not here, your sister is still in prison, and now you're gone too. It's just me left in this house," Kaitlyn lamented, her tone growing increasingly desolate, exposing an overwhelming sense of loneliness. She sighed, "Even the servants have gone home.

Alexander remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Not receiving a response from Alexander, Kaitlyn spoke again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Alexander said, "What should I say?"

Kaitlyn was getting angry, "Aren't you coming back?"

Alexander replied, "I can't come back."

"You..." Kaitlyn was at a loss for words, perhaps feeling too lonely. Hearing Alexander's indifferent tone, an inexplicable bitterness surged within her. Kaitlyn's voice was filled with a mix of sadness and disappointment," Are you ignoring your mother because of that mute girl?"

Alexander subconsciously glanced at Quinn.

Quinn couldn't hear the sound from the phone. Quinn's black and white eyes gazed directly at Alexander, reflecting innocence and a hint of childishness. It was how Quinn looked when she was ten years old.

Alexander said, "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"Alexander!" Kaitlyn urgently called out to him. She wanted to say more, but the words seemed to freeze, unable to escape her lips.

Choking back tears, Kaitlyn managed to utter three words. "I miss you."

Her voice carried a hint of sorrow and longing, mixed with a clear sense of fatigue and disillusionment.

Alexander's gaze flickered, and he suddenly looked out the window, hesitating to speak.

Fireworks burst outside, filling the sky with colorful displays that reflected off the window.

The room had good sound insulation, but in the quiet atmosphere, every sound in the ward could still be heard clearly.

Kaitlyn asked, "Alexander, can you come back tomorrow?"

"I told you I can't come back." The room had good sound insulation, but in the quiet atmosphere, every sound in the ward could still be heard clearly.

Without waiting for Alexander to hang up, Kaitlyn hung up herself, angrily throwing the phone onto the sofa.

The large mansion was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Amber Bay was still experiencing heavy rain, with a downpour outside, accompanied by thunder and lightning, lacking any Christmas Day cheer. Alexander stared at the disconnected call, casually tossing his phone onto the bed.

He leaned back, closing his eyes and letting out a slight sigh.

Quinn couldn't hear their conversation, but from Alexander's words and expressions, she could tell that Kaitlyn was asking Alexander to come home. But Alexander was still on an IV drip; there was no way he could leave.

Quinn held Alexander's hand as if to comfort him.

Even though he was in the hospital on Christmas, Alexander was not alone; Quinn was there with him.

Alexander turned his head and looked at Quinn for a moment as if recalling something, then asked, "What would you like to receive as Christmas gift?"
