Love Unspoken

Upon Kyle Astor's departure, Quinn remained ensconced on the couch, lost in thought.

She knew that forcing memories to surface was a futile endeavor - they needed to unfurl naturally. To corroborate her thoughts, she would have to delve into deeply ingrained memories, such as the harrowing three days of confinement by Walter.

The time Abigail ventured overseas. And the perplexing situation with Valerie.As Valerie's name crossed her mind, Quinn was struck by a sudden realization - she had forgotten again.

Throughout the day, she strained her mind, but the elusive memory remained just out of reach. Without hesitation, Quinn seized a pen and hastily scribbled on her notepad: Valerie, Walter, Abigail-three key words that might serve as the missing pieces to her memory puzzle.

She knew she didn't need to force the memories to surface, for she wasn't even aware of what she had forgotten. They would only resurface when she chanced upon them.

That evening, Alexander didn't come home.Quinn spent the night curled up on the couch, only to be roused the following morning by Kyle Astor, who had thoughtfully brought some food. Kyle, as persistent as ever, ensured she ate and took her medication before taking his leave.

In the afternoon, Dr. Hughes made his appearance.A gentle drizzle pattered against the window as Dr. Hughes knocked and entered in a hurry, setting down his medical bag.

"How are you doing, Quinn? Did you remember anything?" he asked, a note of anxiety in his voice. Quinn nodded and handed him the notepad resting by her side.Dr. Hughes flipped through it. "What are these? Can you recall what these are about now?"

Quinn leaned in and pointed to the names Walter and Abigail, but as her gaze fell on the name Valerie, a flicker of confusion crossed her features. In the end, she shook her head, the memory remaining elusive."Could these be recent events?" Quinn nodded in affirmation.A look of concern shadowed Dr. Hughes's features. He hesitated before suggesting, "Quinn, perhaps we should visit the hospital."Quinn's expression subtly shifted at his suggestion, and she turned to Dr. Hughes with a questioning look, which he understood.

With a sigh, Dr. Hughes said, "I'm not certain, and that's why I think you should get it checked out. Let's go."She reached for her phone to message Alexander.

"I'll call Mr. Landry; you don't need to," Dr. Hughes insisted, believing his word might carry more weight. After two unsuccessful attempts to reach Alexander, Dr. Hughes gave up."Let's go for now. I'll explain everything to Mr. Landry when we get back," he said.

Quinn bit her lip in apprehension but nodded in agreement.She accompanied Dr. Hughes to the hospital, where she underwent a series of tests that would take 24 hours to process.Left with no other option, Dr. Hughes drove her back home. "Quinn, I'll bring your test results tomorrow, just rest easy for today."She nodded, stepping out of the car and walking back into her villa.Alexander seemed to be preoccupied these days, with no indication of him returning home that night either.

Quinn briefly settled on the couch but soon found herself gravitating towards the kitchen.When Kyle Astor arrived with food, he found Quinn engrossed in preparing a meal."Quinn, you're cooking?" he asked, taken aback.

She glanced at him before returning to her task, absorbed in the rhythm of slicing and stirring. Kyle Astor surveyed the room and noticed the abundance of dishes Quinn had prepared. Could she possibly consume all that by herself?He suddenly found it difficult to inform Quinn that Alexander had embarked on a business trip just the previous day and wouldn't be back for several days.
