Love Unspoken

Preston's spine stiffened, his gaze locking onto Sebastian. He swiveled his head back to Quinn, a sheepish grin tugging at his lips. "Ignore his nonsense. He's just joking, nothing more. I was merely passing by and thought to check on you. Seeing you awake now, it seems you're going to be fine."

Quinn's fingers danced in the air, signing her question: How much did you pay?

Preston's response was somewhat elusive. "Not much, don't concern yourself with it."

Quinn's eyes roved over his attire. He didn't resemble the common folk. His presence at such an event suggested he was no ordinary man. She resolved to repay him in due time.

Quinn signed another question: The care center you mentioned, what's that?

Preston's smile was warm as he explained, "It's just a charitable organization. My dad started it but never really got involved, so I stepped in."

"After visiting these places, I discovered the dire need of these people. I now volunteer and assist my father in overseeing his association."

Quinn nodded, the pieces falling into place. No wonder he had saved her. Had it been anyone else, aware that the car belonged to Alexander, they would have likely steered clear of the trouble. Quinn signed her admiration: You're incredible.

Sebastian chimed in, "That's not all. Preston even established a sanctuary for stray animals, providing a home for countless homeless cats and dogs."

Preston blushed slightly at the praise, brushing it off with a wave of his hand. "It's nothing, just a small act of kindness."

Quinn observed the vitality and zest for life that surrounded him, a pang of envy piercing her heart. To engage in something meaningful, something she genuinely relished.

Preston noticed the melancholy in her eyes and couldn't resist asking, "What's wrong? You seem troubled. Once you're feeling better, I'll take you to see them. The puppies and kittens are simply adorable." Quinn nodded, the desire to go evident, but she restrained herself, shaking her head, signing: I'm not interested in that.

She couldn't even see Juliet, why bother with stray cats and dogs? Her involvement had also caused trouble for Abigail. It was best not to entangle these men in her chaos.

Preston felt a twinge of disappointment, "That's a shame, but it doesn't matter. Whenever you're interested, I'll take you there."

Quinn nodded, then signed: How much did you cover for my medical fee? I need to pay you back.

Preston waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry about it! What you owe wouldn't even cover a day's worth of dog food for me." Quinn fell silent.

Preston glanced around before asking, "By the way, do you need help contacting your family?"

Quinn gestured her refusal: No need, I'll be heading back on my own soon.

"Alright then, I must be going. If you ever need to reach me, just call... or add me on Messenger," he said, leaving his business card on the table before making his exit.

Quinn's gaze lingered on the door, watching until the figures of the two men vanished completely, before quietly averting her eyes.

Meanwhile, Alexander was driving back to The Kennedys estate. Getty's expression soured as she caught sight of the grand entrance. "Why did you bring me here?" she demanded.

Alexander shot her a glance, "Didn't you choose to come?"

Getty was at a loss for words, "I didn't know you would come here..."

"Then where did you think we were heading?" he retorted.

"I thought you were chasing after that dummy. Never mind," Getty muttered, opening the car door, "I'll find my own way back."

Getty had no fondness for The Kennedys. The haughty stares from the servants during her previous visits felt like they were scrutinizing trash unworthy of their stage.
