Love Unspoken

Chapter 1527

Abigail ran as long as she could, but the pain in her side was too much. She clutched her stomach, leaned against a tree, and slowly sank to the ground. Her face was pale, and sweat dripped from her forehead. She took deep breaths, trying to manage the pain.

Footsteps echoed behind her. She turned around, panicked, but it was just Landon coming towards her.

She let out a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. "Did you see anyone following us?" she asked. Landon squatted in front of her and nodded. "Yeah, I saw them."

He had been trailing them, circling around to find her.

Abigail grabbed his arm, desperate. "We need to go, now, before they catch up."

But Landon didn't budge; he just stared at her.

Abigail looked up, confused, and saw something in his eyes she couldn't quite read.

One thing was clear: he wasn't planning to leave.

"Landon," she whispered.

He took her hand off his arm. "Abigail, let's go home," he said firmly.

She stared at him, stunned, unable to speak.

After a moment, she finally asked, "Why?"

"You've caused enough trouble. It's time to go back," he said.

"Trouble?" she repeated, confused. "You think I'm causing trouble?"

"Do you really want to keep running like this?" he asked.

She couldn't answer. She wanted to say yes, but she couldn't. She felt like she was pushing her luck.

They had already gone further than they should have.

If she kept clinging to him, she'd feel like she was lowering herself.
