Love Unspoken

The next morning, Kyle swung by with some breakfast for Alexander, who was still glued to the same spot as last night, eyes locked on Quinn.

Quinn was laid up in bed, looking ghostly pale. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, you'd think she was a goner.

"Mr. Kennedy, you gotta eat something," Kyle murmured, trying to get through to him.

Alexander didn't even flinch, let alone respond.

Kyle sighed, setting the breakfast down on the cabinet next to him. "I'll just leave it here. Eat it later, man. You still need to recover and get some rest." With no reaction from Alexander, Kyle had no choice but to bounce.

As he stepped out, Soren came up and asked, "So, any change? Mrs. Kennedy wake up yet?"

Kyle shook his head. "Nah, probably not anytime soon."

Kyle was torn. If Quinn woke up, she'd be in pain. If she didn't, Alexander would be. Either way, it was a lose-lose situation.

While they were chatting, Kaitlyn rolled up with her butler, Oscar Fisher.

Kyle's face shifted when he saw them. "What are you doing here?"

Kaitlyn shot back, "I'm here to see Alexander. Heard he came to the hospital. What's up? Is his health acting up again?"

Kyle explained, "It's not Mr. Kennedy. It's Mrs. Kennedy who's sick."

At the mention of Quinn, Kaitlyn's face twisted, and a flash of disgust crossed her eyes. She snapped, "Her again."

With that, she made a move to go in.

Kyle raised an arm to stop her. "You really shouldn't go in. Mr. Kennedy's not in a good mood right now."

Kaitlyn wasn't having it. "He's in a bad mood? Then as his mother, I should definitely go in and see him. Move aside."

Kyle stood his ground.

Kaitlyn's face darkened, and she glared at him. "Kyle, are you defying my orders?"

Kyle replied, "I'm stopping you for your own good."

Kaitlyn shouted, "Get out of my way!"

Without wasting time arguing, she shoved him aside and pushed the door open.

Alexander finally turned his head to look over.

Kaitlyn demanded, "Alexander, what's wrong with her?"

Alexander just looked away and said one thing. "Get out."

Kaitlyn instantly blew up. "What do you mean? I heard you came to the hospital and rushed over to see you, and this is how you talk to me?"

"I told you to get out!" Alexander's voice rose, making Kaitlyn jump.

Then he glanced at Quinn on the bed and softened his tone. "Don't disturb her."

Hearing that, Kaitlyn got even angrier. "Alexander..."

Before she could finish, Alexander shot her a look that shut her up.

That look was cold, angry, and downright murderous, making her scalp tingle. He looked like a beast about to snap.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Even though she was his mom and usually pretty cocky about it, she felt a bit scared now.

After a moment, she swallowed her anger. "Fine, I won't disturb you. I'm just glad you're okay."

With that, she left with Oscar.

Once they were out of the hospital, she fumed, "This is infuriating. He ignores my concern but cares so much about Quinn. What's so great about her?" Oscar said softly, "Mr. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy have a unique bond."
