Love Unspoken

Alexander said, "Secure the towel with clothes."

Quinn followed his instructions, folded the coat over, draped it on his back, pulled one sleeve over his shoulder, passed the other under his armpit, tied the two sleeves together, and finally secured the towel on his back. Now, she could finally rummage through the boxes with peace of mind.

After meticulously going through all the boxes, she surprisingly found some sustenance: an entire box of mineral water, a bag of compressed biscuits, some beverages, and red wine. The most amazing was that she even found three bathrobes. She moved everything she found in front of Alexander, opened a bottle of mineral water, and handed him a compressed biscuit.

Alexander didn't hesitate either. He took the biscuit and started munching on it. After all, the most important now was to conserve energy; otherwise, with his current injuries, it would be difficult to leave this place. Quinn also nibbled on a piece of biscuit.

The sun was setting now; and the sea was beautiful. If it weren't for the circumstances, it would have been romantic.

After finishing eating, Quinn gestured. "What do we do now?"

Alexander said, "Go check the shore. There should be some herbs. Don't wander too far; just look around the edges."

Quinn nodded. "What do the herbs look like?"

Alexander replied, "Whatever you see, pick it and bring it back for me to see."

He couldn't move at all right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered Quinn to do these things.

Quinn didn't hesitate, either. She stood up and was about to leave.

Alexander stopped her again. "Wait, put on the bathrobe."

Quinn obediently picked up the bathrobe and put it on, then jumped off the yacht, barefoot on the sand, walking towards the forest.

The sand on the beach wasn't soft but rather hard, filled with rocks and rotting tree branches. Walking on it was uncomfortable. Despite the discomfort in her feet, she pushed through and reached the edge of the forest. She picked any plant that looked like an herb, taking only one of each to save time.

Half an hour later, she returned to the yacht with an armful of wild herbs and laid them out in front of Alexander.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

Alexander looked up at her. Her bathrobe was covered in mud; and there were scratches on her face from the thorns.

Yet she seemed oblivious to it all; kneeling on the ground, her eyes fixed on Alexander.

Alexander remained silent for two seconds, then picked out some herbs from the pile of grass and handed them to Quin. "This one will work." Quinn took the herbs, nodded, and then went back to the forest. There were plenty of these herbs everywhere, even a large patch around the outskirts of the forest. Quinn quickly gathered a bunch and brought them back.

Under Alexander's instructions, she crushed the herbs, applied them to his wounds, and then rebandaged his wounds with a clean towel.

After doing all this, Quinn sat weakly beside him.

Quinn thought, 'He shouldn't die, right?'

Quinn stared at him. The sun had completely set by now, leaving only a sky full of red clouds. His facial features also looked darker.

Alexander leaned against the cabin, looking at her dirty little face, and asked, "Do you remember what happened?"

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! Quinn nodded and signed, "I remember someone wanted to kill you."

Alexander asked, "Where is he?"

Quinn signed, "He fell into the sea; and he also got stabbed. Is he dead already?"

Alexander smirked, showing a mocking smile.

"Who knows?" He reached out and pulled Quinn into his arms, his fingers caressing her cheek. He asked her softly, "How old are you now?"

Quinn looked up at him in confusion, thought for a moment, and signed, "Ten years old."

Alexander's eyes flickered; and then he asked, "How much do you remember from yesterday?"

Quinn signed, "I remember everything."

That person said he would take her to find Alexander, but instead took her to a big ship. A fat man made her drink a lot of alcohol, then she woke up to see that person trying to kill Alexander. Thinking of this, Quinn's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry. Did I cause you to get hurt?"
