Love Unspoken

Quinn turned to look at him.

He tried hard to force a smile, trying to show he was being real.

"Alexander," Quinn called out.

"Yeah, I'm here," Alexander replied right away.

Quinn struggled to lift her busted hand and placed it on his, staring at him. "Promise me one thing, and I'll let it go, okay?" Alexander was a bit thrown off. "What's that?"

Quinn replied, "I want you to live well, to stay healthy. Do that, and I'll forgive you."

Alexander stared blankly at Quinn, a slight smirk forming at the corner of his mouth. "Are you forgiving me or punishing me?"

"As long as you promise me, I won't try to off myself again. We'll live peacefully for the rest of our days. If you don't promise me," Quinn said, exhaling deeply. "Then our last peaceful moments are out the window." Alexander's fingers tightened, veins popping on the back of his hand. He stared at Quinn, not wanting to speak.

Quinn also looked at him, waiting for him to decide.

In reality, he had no other choice.

After a moment, he finally nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

He said slowly, "I'll live well, healthily."

A faint smile finally appeared on Quinn's pale lips.

She said, "Swear it."

Alexander's eyes flickered and he asked, "You don't trust me?"

Quinn said, "If you swear, I'll trust you. Say, if you break your promise, Quinn will die a horrible death and go to hell." Alexander suddenly stood up and stared intently at Quinn, anger flashing in his eyes.

Quinn pressed, "If you can do it, why not swear?"

Alexander snapped, "I don't want to swear on you."

Quinn's eyes sparkled as she looked at his stubborn expression, a flicker of determination flashing across her face. Suddenly, she raised her hand to tear off the bandage on her wrist.

In the next second, Alexander grabbed her wrist forcefully.

She looked up, meeting his complex gaze.

Alexander's breathing grew heavier, as if he were about to explode with anger.

But under Quinn's calm and resolute gaze, the violent aura around him gradually cooled down.

Finally, he sat back down in defeat.

"I swear, if I break my promise..." He struggled with the words, unable to finish the sentence.

Quinn's fingers slowly tightened, and she stared at him intently. "Say it."

Alexander closed his eyes, whether out of anger or suppression, he was trembling.

Quinn pressed on, "Alexander, say it."

After what seemed like forever, he suddenly opened his eyes, veins bulging on his forehead. He said through gritted teeth, "I swear, if I break my promise, Quinn will die a horrible death and go to hell." As he uttered the last word, Quinn finally let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes weakly.

The oath itself might not mean much, but it depended on who was swearing it.

If Alexander truly cared about her, he would make sure to keep his promise. Regardless of whether it would come true, he would never gamble on it.

Alexander placed her hand back under the covers, staring at her intently. "You also have to keep your word and take good care of yourself." Quinn nodded slightly.

In reality, it didn't matter much anymore. A person destined to die couldn't be kept.

Alexander reached out his fingers to touch her face, and he smiled slightly, his expression returning to normal as if nothing had happened. "Hungry?" he asked as he took out his phone and called Kyle to bring some food.

Kyle was stoked to hear that Quinn was willing to eat and quickly prepared and brought it over.

The atmosphere in the hospital room eased up a lot, as if nothing had happened.

Alexander held a bowl of porridge, feeding Quinn with care and attention, and Quinn obediently ate.

Kyle finally sighed in relief, thinking, 'They must have reached an understanding. Things are moving in a positive direction.'

Quinn looked at Alexander's attentive demeanor, lowered her eyes, and drank the porridge from his spoon.

She thought silently, 'Alexander, you should truly experience the long-lasting loneliness.'
