Love Unspoken

After taking a bath, it was almost noon. Alexander helped Quinn get dressed and called for a meal.

Quinn sat cross-legged on the sofa, gazing at the food spread out on the table. Her hunger quickly overpowered her yearning to locate Orion. She accepted the piece of steak handed to her by Alexander and began devouring it with her hands.

Alexander leaned against the sofa, quietly watching her eat.

The window was open, and a cold wind blew in. Alexander pressed his fist to his lips and coughed a few times.

He was already injured, and after Soren's instructions, he had been through a lot in less than two days. The result was evident.

After struggling for a while, she managed to break free from Alexander's embrace, got out of bed, and hurried to open the window.
