Love Unspoken

Chapter 1533 Landon just stared at her, quiet as always.

Abigail wanted to keep talking, but a cop walked in. She got up right away. "I'll head out. I'll cback later." Landon gave a nod.

She shot him a worried look before stepping out, where Oliver was waiting.

They exchanged a glance but didn't say anything, heading outside.

Once they got to Abigail's room, Oliver asked, "So, did he agree?" Abigail nodded. "Yeah." Oliver grinned. "You always know how to handle things. Now we just wait." Abigail asked, "Do you really think Alexander's plan will work?" Oliver replied, "Of course. Walter was the brains behind it all. He handled all the deals and talked to the clients. When Landon kidnapped you, he wanted to trade Quinn for the list Alexander had and his own life." Abigail felt a bit better hearing that.

"But Walter's plan didn't seem to work. Can Alexander find those people?" Abigail asked.

Oliver said, "Didn't you get the list?" Abigail clarified, "Is it the slist Alexander submitted earlier?" Oliver explained, "No, it's the one he found later, the one Alistair didn't reveal. It's more complete. Landon must've been working on it too. Together, their lists should be enough." Abigail finally relaxed a bit, then cursed Walter. "That jerk, he even tried to get Landon to kill me. He deserves to be punished!" Oliver sighed. "Walter's abroad now, and he's got the Lynch family backing him. It's tough to get to him. He might even take over the Lynch family someday." Abigail asked skeptically, "Is he really that capable?" Oliver replied, "I don't know, but he managed to force Calvin to go back to Arcturus." Abigail knew Calvin. She initially thought he kidnapped Quinn, but later found out he was Quinn's brother. "Forget it, we can't worry about that now. The main thing is Landon. I hope he really cooperates," Abigail said. Oliver reassured her, "Don't worry. At least he's a man of his word. But, are you really sure about this?" Abigail knew what he meant and nodded without hesitation. "I'm sure. Lately, I've been so lost, not knowing what I want or what to do. It felt like I had no reason to live. Now I see that living means doing what you want. If you spend your life without something to wholeheartedly pursue, it has no meaning." Lately, she had been overthinking, constantly worrying about being right, her reputation, and others' opinions. She was always indecisive and avoided confronting things.

But it was all useless and only put her in a bigger predicament. She realized that nothing in this world would go exactly as she planned.

The only thing she could do was to handle the present.

Oliver asked, "What about Elliot?" Abigail replied, "I'll deal with it. They don't agree with the engagement anyway." Oliver said, "You're an adult now. I trust you have your own judgment and can handle it well." Abigail looked at him gratefully. "Thanks, Oliver." Oliver responded, "No need to thank me. Just rest up. Remember what the doctor said?" Abigail nodded and obediently got back into bed.

Actually, she really didn't want to go through with the surgery. One cut was bad enough; she didn't want another. Oliver called the doctor to set her up with another IV.

By the tshe was done with the IV, it was almost afternoon. As soon as the needle was out, she went straight to find Landon.

There were still guards outside his room, but no one was inside.

Abigail pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Landon leaning against the headboard with his eyes closed. She couldn't tell if he was asleep or just resting. She walked over and sat down by the bed, staring at him for a bit.

The sunlight outside the window hit the floor, and the reflected light made it look like Landon had a halo around him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Did you finish your surgery?" Abigail was caught off guard. Her expression was a bit off since she had lied about the surgery earlier.

"A minor surgery. It's long done," she said, trying to change the subject. "So, what did you tell the police?" "I told them everything I needed to," Landon replied.

"And? How many years are you looking at?" Abigail asked.

"Not sure yet. I have to wait until I'm discharged and see how I behave," Landon answered.

"Then you better behave well!" Abigail said.

While Abigail was all excited and nervous, Landon stayed super calm. You'd think it was Abigail who was going to jail.

Landon switched the topic. "Did you tell the police you cwithvoluntarily?"

"What else? Should I say you kidnapped me? Think about it. You could have have just calledto cout, but you had to use this method. I got scolded for it," Abigail said. Landon went quiet and didn't push the topic further.

Abigail stayed with him for two hours before heading back and asking the hospital to move her to a room next to his.

The next day, Elliot showed up. He had visited a bunch of times but never got to talk to Abigail. Today, her room was finally empty.

Seeing Elliot, Abigail felt a bit complicated.

Elliot brought her flowers. "You look much better today." Abigail nodded. "I'm fine now. Thanks for coming to see me." "No need to thank me," Elliot said, sitting down beside her with a smile. "I was worried sick when you were kidnapped. I'm glad you're okay." Abigail stared at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke. "Elliot, I have something to tell you." Elliot's smile froze, probably guessing what she was about to say. "Let's talk after you're discharged. Your priority now is to get well."

Abigail said, "We'll have to talk sooner or later. I think it's better to be clear. I was a bit impulsive when I agreed to cooperate with you. If you're worried about explaining to your parents, I'll personally apologize to them." Elliot looked at her deeply and finally spoke. "Is it because of Landon?" Abigail was silent for a moment, but this tshe didn't deny it. "Sort of."

Elliot smiled. "Alright, it seems you've found someone you love. Faster than I expected Luckily, we didn't get married, or it would have been troublesome." Abigail didn't expect Elliot to agree so easily, and she was at a loss for words for a moment.

She was dazed for a moment before murmuring, "You agree?" Elliot replied, "What else? Should I force you to marry me? We were cooperating, after all. The agreement just ended early."
