Love Unspoken

Chapter 1586 They hugged tight, and Quinn finally felt a wave of relief. She'd been thinking Alexander was lying to her these past few days, but now she saw Calvin alive and well. "Calvin, it's so good to see you're alive," Quinn said.

Calvin grinned. "Did you forget who I am? Of course, I'm alive!" He let go of Quinn and added, "But seriously, when you saw that wimpy version of me, didn't you have any doubts? Do you think I'd act like that?" Quinn was momentarily stunned, then blushed a bit. "I was too worried about you to think straight." "Forget it, it's all in the past. Everyone thinks I'm dead anyway, and I don't go by Calvin anymore. Now, I go by Maddox Mellon," Calvin said. Quinn nodded. "That's a cool name." "Of course. Alright, don't just stand there. Con, let's go to my place," Maddox said.

"I heard you built the house yourself, is that true?" Quinn asked.

"Yep, letshow you," Maddox replied, raising his eyebrows and smiling proudly. Quinn's curiosity about his house grew.

She followed Calvin-no, Maddox-around those oddly shaped buildings and finally arrived at an even stranger house-it was round! Quinn was stunned looking at the house. It looked like a wheel, with the room inside.

Maddox proudly introduced, "How is it? Surprised?" Quinn forced a smile. "It's definitely unique. Out of all these houses, only yours is round." Along the way, she had seen square, triangular, and polygonal houses, but never a round one.

"Con, let's go in," Maddox said, pushing the door open. "It's not furnished inside yet, just make yourself comfortable." After entering, Quinn found the place very clean. The floor was made of wooden planks, and all the furniture was made of wood, giving it a charming, rustic feel.

"Do you two want to build a house? There's a big empty space next to mine, you could definitely build a big house there," Maddox suggested.

Quinn nodded. "Sure, but are there other places?" "Yeah, you can look around. This island is big, and you can build anywhere that's been cleared," Maddox replied. "That's great, I want to go check it out now," Quinn said.

"What's the rush? You just got here, sit for a while. Have you eaten? I have sfood," Maddox said.

With that, he stood up and ran into the house. After a while, he cback with a big plastic bag and threw it in front of them. "Pick whatever you want." Quinn opened the plastic bag and saw a lot of snacks, mostly convenience foods like instant noodles.

She definitely chose noodles. After eating seafood and bread for so many days in the fishing village, she had been craving noodles.

"What do you want?" Quinn turned to ask Alexander.

"Anything," Alexander replied.

Quinn randomly picked a frozen burger for him and chose instant spaghetti for herself.

"Where's the water?" she asked.

"The water is outside. Go get it yourself. There's none inside," Maddox said, busy with his unfinished chair. Quinn responded, took the food outside, and saw a wooden pavilion next to the house. Inside the pavilion, there was a table and a wooden water tank.

She thoughtfully prepared Alexander's food as well and then placed it on the table.

While waiting for the food to heat up, Quinn took in her surroundings. The area was a harmonious blend of orderly trees and hidden houses, merging the buildings perfectly with the forest.

Despite the abundance of trees, they didn't block the light. The trees were widely spaced, and their large trunks allowed sunlight to filter through the leaves, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow on the ground. She even spotted a white rabbit running through a distant clump of grass.

She couldn't help but remark, "Once this place is built, it should be very beautiful." Alexander nodded. "It definitely will be." "After we eat, let's go check out the site and choose a place to build our house. We should build something unique too," Quinn suggested.

"What kind of house do you want to build?" Alexander asked.

Quinn glanced back at Maddox's round house and had a sudden idea. "How about we build a star-shaped house?" Alexander smirked. "Do you know how to build it?" "Well..." Quinn didn't know. She had no idea about building houses; she just thought of a star when she saw Maddox's round house. Alexander said, "Let's find a designer to draw up a plan first, then we can build it." "Sounds good," Quinn said, smiling. There was no rush. She still wanted to go back and check on Sprout. She thought they could bring Sprout and Brandy here; they would definitely have a great time. "Let's bring Sprout and Brandy here. I really like this place," Quinn said.

Alexander frowned slightly. "Would it be safe?" There was construction everywhere. No big machines, but plenty of dangerous tools like drills, saws, and cutting machines just lying around. Sprout and Brandy could easily get into trouble if they touched any of that stuff. Quinn hesitated. "You're right. Now that Sprout can walk, he'll definitely run around everywhere. Let's wait until the construction is finished before bringing them here." "Yeah, if you miss them, you can stay here for a few days and then go back to see them," Alexander suggested. "Alright," Quinn said, pushing the food on the table towards him. "Let's eat first." Before long, Maddox cover and sat down next to them. "Don't eat too much. It's almost dinner time." Quinn smiled. "When do we eat?" Maddox looked up at the sky. "When the sun sets." The sun set quickly, and soon the forest grew dark. But then, the place lit up with all these fluorescent and rechargeable lights they had installed. It gave the forest a cool, almost magical vibe.

Kyle ran over to them and said, "We're getting ready to cook, Mrs. Kennedy! Can you cook? Would you like to help us?" Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Quinn couldn't refuse. She stood up. "Sure, I'll take a look." Kyle glanced at Alexander and, seeing that he didn't say anything, felt overjoyed. 'Great, finally, no more bad food,' Kyle thought happily.

When those guys cooked, they always threw everything into one pot. The taste was terrible.

Watching Quinn leave, Maddox said, "I thought you two would be at odds again." Alexander glanced at him. "Do you really want us to be at odds?" "Not really, I was just guessing. I didn't expect you to bring Quinn over so soon. Does she already know?" Maddox asked, referring to their plan about his fake death. Alexander said, "Quinn would find out sooner or later anyway. As long as it makes her happy, it's fine if she knows." "You're quite generous," Maddox commented.

Maddox hadn't contacted Quinn, hoping that with time, she would forget about it, and then he could tell her. That way, she wouldn't think about Walter anymore.

He didn't expect that it would only be a short tbefore Quinn cover.

Although Quinn might not have had romantic feelings for Walter, their bond since childhood was deep. If it veix weren't for that accident, Walter might have been Quinn's husband by now. The complicated relationship was hard to define. No matter what Walter did later, at least initially, he went to the Kennedy family with the genuine intention of avenging the Mellon family.

Walter probably never expected that the person he sought revenge on would becthe husband of his long- lost fiancée, who forgot about him and everything else.

Honestly, if this had happened to Maddox, he wasn't sure what he would have done.

Alexander and Maddox were silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Alexander sighed. "Let's just leave it at that. Everything is destined." Maddox glanced at him. "You seem to be in good shape. Is your health improving?" "Maybe, nothing too serious at least," Alexander said.

"If something really happened to you, you probably wouldn't want to face Quinn," Maddox joked. Alexander suddenly beccurious. "Can radiation cause mutations? Haven't seen that firsthand." "You're quite the optimist. Want to expose yourself to more radiation and see what happens? If there are changes, you'd be contributing to research," Maddox said.

The root cause of Alexander's physical weakness was the bug implanted in him earlier. It contained radioactive material and had stayed ve in this body for a year. The radiation had already infiltrated his cells and organs, making it almost incurable. If it were just sexternal injuries or severe wounds causing his weakness, treatment could have restored him.

m But Alexander's situation was tricky. He could only rely on the special medication Maddox provided to alleviate his symptoms, control the rate of cell death, reduce the chances of cancer, and delay organ failure. More importantly, it helped relieve Alexander's pain.

Maddox knew that Alexander's health was far from what it appeared to be.

Maddox waved his hand. "Forget it, I don't want to talk about this. If it weren't for the fact that you don't have much tleft, I would definitely teach you a lesson." This was also why Maddox quickly reconnected with Alexander and chose to cooperate with him.

He wanted to end the farce swiftly and allow Alexander and Quinn to finally live happily together. After all these years, they had never really had the chance to enjoy a peaceful life together.
