Love Unspoken
Chapter 358

A shudder ran through Kyle as he said, "Yes, I'll go right away!" Without daring to delay, he promptly exited the study, hastened outside, and climbed into his car. The vehicle roared to life and he sped off into the distance. In the corridor, Quinn stood, her gaze fixed on Kyle's retreating figure. His panic-stricken demeanor stirred a growing unease within her, amplifying her sense of foreboding.

Arriving at the hospital, Kyle sought out information regarding the caregiver. To his surprise, he discovered that she had been absent from work since the day before yesterday, and no one had been able to contact her. A sense of dread washed over Kyle. Could it be that the caregiver was involved in some nefarious plot? But how could Alexander have known? Confused and troubled, he dialed Alexander's number to report his findings. Upon hearing the news, Alexander stood by a French window, his gaze lost in the drizzling rain outside. His voice was steady as he commanded, "Find her."

"Alright, I'll keep looking," Kyle responded, though he knew the task would be challenging, given that the caregiver had disappeared two days prior. Yet, he had no choice but to locate her. If he failed to uncover the truth, Juliet's death would be on Alexander's conscience. His already tenuous relationship with Quinn could not withstand such a blow, and any argument sparked by this situation could lead to disaster. Thus, Kyle dared not delay.

In the days that followed, Alexander remained sequestered in the villa, not once venturing out. Meanwhile, Soren found himself struggling to balance his roles as both a doctor and a chef.

Quinn found Alexander's behavior peculiar. He had been avoiding his company and spending all his time at home with her. Was he waiting for her recovery before proceeding with their divorce? The irony was not lost on her. She used to yearn for his return, only to be met with his prolonged absences. Now, he was by her side all day. Was he afraid she would refuse to divorce him?

Desperate to communicate her recovery, Quinn tugged at Alexander's sleeve. He glanced at her but remained silent. She gestured again, insisting, "I'm really better now. You can ask Soren."

Alexander's patience was wearing thin. He abruptly pushed her away, exclaiming, "Enough!" Quinn was taken aback, and the room fell into an uncomfortable silence, punctuated only by the sound of the television.

Alexander closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, his expression had regained its usual calm. He adjusted his collar and turned to face Quinn, reassuring her, "Don't worry, I said we will get a divorce. You don't need to be in such a hurry."

Confronted with his directness, Quinn was left speechless. She turned her head away, focusing her gaze on the television. The cartoon playing was cheerful, a stark contrast to the heavy atmosphere that hung in the room. Their standoff was interrupted by the sudden ring of Alexander's phone. It was a call from Kyle. Alexander rose, took the phone, and ascended the stairs, leaving Quinn to watch his retreating figure.

"Alexander, still no sign of her. It's like she vanished. We even sent people to her house, and her family hasn't seen her either," Kyle reported. Alexander paused in his tracks, considering the news.

"Is it possible she's dead?" Kyle ventured. Alexander remained silent for a moment before responding, "There's no need to search anymore."

"Huh? You're giving up?" Kyle asked, taken aback.

"It's already clear what's going on. Why bother searching?" Alexander sneered. "These people just can't stay out of trouble."

Kyle was puzzled. Alexander hadn't seen any evidence yet. How could he claim things were clear?

"So, the caretaker is dead?" Kyle asked, seeking clarification.

"Whether he's dead or alive doesn't matter anymore," Alexander replied, leaning against the railing and pulling out a cigarette. As he took a puff, the smoke twisted in the air. He added, "I know what's going on now."
