Love Unspoken

Chapter 1531

Quinn walked into the hospital room and saw Abigail still out cold.

She plopped down next to her, wondering what was taking Alexander so long downstairs. What could they be talking about?

After about twenty minutes, she felt a slight touch on her finger and whipped her head around. "You're awake!" she blurted out. Abigail blinked at Quinn, then slowly sat up. "Why are you here? Where's Oliver?" she asked.

"He's downstairs with Alexander. Are you hurt bad?" Quinn asked.

Abigail's eyes widened at the mention of Alexander. "Alexander is here?"

"Yeah," Quinn nodded.

Before Quinn could say more, Abigail threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed. Quinn grabbed her arm. "What are you doing? You're still hooked up to an IV."

"I need to see Alexander," Abigail said, yanking out the IV without a second thought, blood trickling down her arm.

Quinn was stunned but quickly pulled her back. "Why do you need to see Alexander? You can talk to me."

Abigail sighed. "Thanks, Quinn. But I need to talk to Alexander directly. I don't want to drag you into this."

If she went to Alexander, it would be between them. But if she involved Quinn, it would complicate things for everyone.

"Just rest for now. You can see him tomorrow. Besides, he's talking to Oliver. Maybe Oliver's already handling it," Quinn suggested. Abigail hesitated. "I'm scared it'll be too late."

"It won't be. Don't stress. Landon hasn't woken up yet, and even if he does, the police won't take him right away," Quinn reassured her. Abigail finally gave in after a moment of silence.

Quinn helped her back into bed and called the doctor to reinsert the IV.

Then Quinn asked, "What happened? Can you tell me?"

Abigail looked conflicted.

Quinn added, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. No pressure."

"I just don't know where to start. If I tell you, you won't laugh at me, right?" Abigail asked.

"Why would I laugh at you? I wouldn't," Quinn said.
