Love Unspoken
Chapter 1584

Quinn rubbed her nose, thinking it made sense. A coffin was super heavy, and with these bumpy roads, moving it would be a nightmare.

The storm raged on for what felt like forever and finally let up near dawn. Quinn had no clue when she dozed off, but when she woke up, the door was blown off its hinges.

She jumped up and dashed outside to check things out. The rain was still coming down, with the occasional rumble of thunder. The grass was flattened, some roofs had caved in, and debris was scattered everywhere.

Quinn glanced at the pouring rain and then back at Alexander, who was busy getting the fire going again. She quickly ran back inside. "Alexander, the seawater's risen outside. The house we were in before is half underwater." "I know," Alexander said.

"You already checked?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah, I did. The rain hasn't stopped yet. Stay inside and don't wander around," Alexander advised.

"Okay. I'll just watch from the doorway," Quinn said. She stood at the door, staring at the sea not too far away. Yesterday morning, the seawater had pulled back, but now it was right up close. The house they stayed in before was half- submerged.

She sighed. "Can Kyle find us?"

She was worried that if Kyle and the others got lost at sea in this weather, they might be in serious trouble.

She squatted by the fire, anxiously looking at Alexander. "They haven't found us for so long. Could they be in danger at sea?"

Alexander paused and said, "Probably not. Don't overthink it."

"That's good. Now our phones are dead, and the power bank's out of juice too. What do we do next?" Quinn asked.

"Wait. There's nothing else we can do," Alexander replied.

Quinn nodded and plopped down on the bed.

It was cold and raining. Thankfully, Alexander had found these blankets; without them, they might have frozen to death.

Even though it was still raining and thundering outside, there wasn't that crazy wind like the other night. It must have been a typhoon. Luckily, they weren't in the center of it.

They were stuck there for almost five days before the sky finally cleared. Quinn walked out of the house and saw that the seawater had pulled back, and the beach was visible again. She said excitedly, "Alexander, the rain's stopped. Looks like it's finally over."

Alexander followed her out, looked at the clear sky, and the flattened grass around. The village looked a lot clearer now.

"Think Kyle and the others will find us soon?" Quinn asked.

Alexander nodded. "Yeah, they will."

Quinn finally felt a bit of relief. She was so over being stuck there and just wanted out.

She was right. A few days ago, it poured like crazy and there was a typhoon. Kyle and the crew set out to find them as soon as the rain let up.

They didn't want to waste any more time, worried it might rain again and trap Alexander and Quinn in the village.

The next morning, Quinn was still half-asleep when she heard someone shouting outside. "Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy! Are you here?"

Kyle and Sean, along with a few others, had gotten off the boat and were searching the village for Alexander and Quinn.

Seeing the mess in the village, Sean worriedly said, "Did they get hit by the typhoon too? Could they have been blown away?"

As he spoke, he got angry. "This is all your fault. I told you to come earlier, but you delayed. If something happened to Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Kennedy, how will you explain it to Calvin?"

Kyle glared at him. "Stop nagging. You're annoying. Can we just find them first?"

Sean snorted and went off to look for Quinn and Alexander elsewhere.

Quinn rubbed her eyes and felt around. Alexander was gone again. She quickly got up and clearly heard Sean and Kyle's voices.

Overjoyed, she hurriedly ran outside.

Alexander had already gone out. Sean saw him and ran over joyfully, "Mr. Kennedy, it's so good that you're okay."

Kyle was stunned to see Alexander, then he smiled and walked quickly towards them. "Mr. Kennedy, where's Mrs. Kennedy?"

Alexander looked at them. "Why are you only here now?"

"Because Kyle said..." Before Sean could finish, Kyle covered his mouth and forced a smile. "Mr. Kennedy, it rained heavily at sea these past few days, and we got lost. If it weren't for good luck, we would have almost sunk." Sean rolled his eyes, thinking Kyle was really good at making things up.

Quinn came out just in time to hear their conversation. She hurriedly asked, "Are you all okay?"

Kyle smiled awkwardly. "We're doing fine. Thankfully, we finally found you. All the hardship was worth it."

Quinn felt a pang of guilt. If she hadn't insisted on coming, Kyle and Sean wouldn't have had to come looking for them and wouldn't have gotten lost. If they had encountered danger at sea while looking for her and Alexander, she wouldn't know how to cope with the guilt.

Seeing her downcast expression, Kyle quickly chimed in, "Hey, it wasn't that bad. We just got a little lost, no real danger. Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Kennedy, let's get out of here. This place is a dump."

Alexander nodded and took a few steps before saying, "Hold on. I need you to do something first."

Kyle looked puzzled.

Quinn thought it must be something important, but it turned out he wanted Kyle and the others to open coffins. Quinn's mouth twitched.

She couldn't understand why Alexander was so obsessed with those coffins. What was so fascinating about them?

Could it be because Alexander had never seen a coffin before?

In Amber Bay, they only saw urns, not coffins. She seemed to understand him a bit now.

Naturally, Kyle and the others wouldn't refuse Alexander's order. They immediately gathered people, grabbed tools, and randomly picked a room to enter.

They needed to open those sealed coffins, which required several people and tools.

Alexander stood outside watching them open the coffins, with Quinn by his side. He said, "I'm not touching anything, you see."

Quinn didn't feel like talking to him anymore.

After a while, Kyle and the others opened the coffin and exclaimed.

Quinn instinctively took a step back. "What did you see?"

Kyle turned to Alexander. "Mr. Kennedy, come and see."

Alexander was about to step forward when Quinn grabbed him tightly. "Don't go."

"There are so many people here. Don't worry, I won't touch anything," Alexander assured her.

Quinn hesitated and then reluctantly let go of him.

Alexander walked over to the coffin and looked inside, his pupils slightly contracting.

Seeing their strange expressions, Quinn couldn't help but move closer. "What is it? A body? Or many bodies?"

Kyle murmured, "A lot of..."

Hearing "a lot," Quinn paused.

Kyle continued, "A lot of gold."

Quinn was stunned.

She thought she had misheard, but Alexander had already taken something out of the coffin, and she clearly saw it was gold. Alexander said, "Open all the coffins."

Kyle was already eager to open the coffins.

There were two sealed coffins in this house. The other coffin didn't contain gold but some antiques.

Who would have thought that this rundown village hid so many treasures?

Kyle casually picked up a painting. "Oh my God, are we going to get rich?"

"Where did these things come from? They look like they're from our country," Sean said, examining a vase.

"Let's open the rest first," Alexander said.

"Right, let's go. Split up and open the coffins," Kyle agreed.

Fortunately, they had brought some people with them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to open so many coffins by themselves. The village became lively, and it took the whole morning to open all the coffins.

Quinn followed them around. Knowing that the coffins contained treasures instead of bodies, she found the village scenery much more beautiful. However, some coffins were empty, like those in the front houses. The sealed coffins either contained nothing, miscellaneous items, or bodies.

It was like a lottery, and they were all excited to open them.

Finally, Alexander had them carry the treasure-filled coffins out and place them on the beach.

There were about twelve coffins filled with treasures, including gold, silver, and antiques.

Alexander had them cover the coffins with antiques to prevent damage.

Kyle said, "Sir, these items seem to have been professionally preserved, not passed down from ancient times."

Alexander said, "Cover them first."

"Okay," Kyle replied.

Alexander then walked to the coffin filled with gold. He picked up a piece of gold and examined it. The surface was somewhat blackened, indicating it was old but not ancient.

Kyle said, "Our boat might not be able to carry all these items. I'll go back and get more boats."

Alexander nodded and took Quinn's hand. "Let's go."

Quinn wasn't particularly interested in these items, as she already had much more money than she could spend.

She followed Alexander onto the boat. Kyle and Sean stayed behind to discuss their next steps. Kyle decided that Sean should stay with two other people to keep watch, while he and Alexander would go back to get reinforcements. Sean agreed. One of them had to stay and watch, and since Sean was more capable, it made sense for him to stay.

After nearly ten days in the village, Quinn finally boarded the boat. She sighed, "I didn't expect to find such a treasure before leaving."

Then she suddenly looked at Alexander. "You've always wanted to open those coffins. Did you know there was anything inside?"
