Love Unspoken

Chapter 1499 Landon glanced at her, shrugged, and pulled out his phone to check the time. Then he opened his memoand started typing something.

"You got bit three minutes ago," Landon said. "Your blood's pumping faster now 'cause of all the running around. The poison's spreading quick. If you're lucky, you might make it to the hospital by dawn and save yourself." Abigail was stunned.

She looked around, seeing nothing but grass and mountains. It seemed too late to reach a hospital.

"Looks like I'm gonna die here," Abigail said.

"Yeah," Landon replied.

"Aren't you supposed to, like, encourageor something?" Abigail protested.

"Not really my thing," Landon said, his face blank.

Abigail gritted her teeth. Maybe it was just in her head, but she felt her breathing get harder after hearing his words.

"Then do what they do on TV and suck the poison out for me," Abigail demanded.

Landon looked at her like she was an idiot.

Abigail blinked and sighed, "Forget it, I wouldn't dare trouble you with that." "If you wanna die sooner, I can help with that," Landon said.

"What do you mean?" Abigail asked.

"I mean you should go back and read more books on basic knowledge," Landon retorted.

Abigail was furious, but before she could curse him, Landon said, "If you don't wanna die, stay calm. Getting angry will just speed up your blood circulation." Abigail held back her anger.

In all her years, only two men had bested her: one was Alexander, and the other was Landon.

With Alexander, she could still curse him out when she was mad.

But Landon always left her speechless with rage, unable to find words to retort.

Just like now, she couldn't even get angry.

"All you Kennedy men are no good," she concluded.

"Oh really? How many Kennedys do you actually know?" Landon replied.

"I don't wanna talk to you anymore," Abigail said. She felt dizzy and struggled to breathe. Nausea hit her, and her head spun. She collapsed, weakly saying, "Am I gonna die?" "Yes," Landon confirmed.

"You... Helppass a message to Oliver," Abigail sighed.

"Go ahead," Landon said.

Abigail thought for a moment, hugging her arms, and said shakily, "Tell him not to work with you anymore." Landon took off his jacket and covered her with it. "Don't worry, I'll have the doctor check your brain." "I still prefer the old, aloof you," Abigail said.

Landon paused, then said nothing more.

"So cold," Abigail shivered. She wrapped herself in his jacket, her whole body trembling.

Landon picked her up and started walking back the way they came. Abigail groggily opened her eyes, then closed them again, weak.

Her cheek against his chest, she felt the rhythm of his steps. She felt drunk, swaying in his arms.

"Where are you taking me?" Abigail asked. She clung to herself tightly, feeling as if winter had suddenly arrived, the cold seeping from inside out.

"Down the mountain," Landon replied.

"You're lying," Abigail accused.

Landon knew the way down. He had just been scaring her, saying she was going to die. Abigail was frightened, thinking she was really going to die. She often claimed not to fear death, but when confronted with it, she was terrified. Anyone with a good life would fear death.

In that moment, Abigail thought of a million things her future, unfinished tasks, and the faces of family and friends, all flashing through her mind.

Landon ignored her, trudging through the grass towards the mountain's base.

Abigail started rambling. "Landon, why do you do those things? Why can't you just be a good person?" she asked.

"Turn back. It's not too late," she added, her voice soft but piercing in the silent night.

Landon looked into the distance, offering no reply.

She mumbled to herself for a long tbefore finally passing out from exhaustion.

Only then did Landon's voice, like a murmur, break the silence. "There's no turning back." His figure receded into the night, the light from his phone illuminating the path ahead, while he remained cloaked in darkness.

The man had already been found by Oliver. When found, he was delirious, nearly insane. It took Oliver a lot of effort to subdue him.

But the crazed man couldn't reveal Abigail's whereabouts. Oliver paced anxiously by the car for a long time, placing his hopes on Landon.

Soon, Landon appeared, carrying Abigail. Oliver rushed to meet him. "What happened to Abigail?" "Snake bite," Landon replied.

Oliver was shocked, quickly opening the car door to let Landon place Abigail inside. Without delay, he sped down the muddy mountain road to the nearest hospital. Unsure of the snake that bit her, they relied on the doctor's expertise to diagnose.

Oliver waited anxiously outside the emergency room, feeling a pang of regret.

When Landon approached him about teaming up to take over those companies in Amber Bay, he agreed, wanting to take a chance.

He had anticipated such a situation, which was why he had agreed with his father's decision to marry Abigail off.

He believed that once Abigail was married and stayed away from Amber Bay, she would be safe. But he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Looking at Landon leaning against the wall, Oliver said, "Landon, are you going to keep going?" Landon looked up at him. "Are you scared?"

Oliver replied, "If I were alone like you, my ambition might be even greater. But But as you can see, have my family. This tit was Abigail, what about next time?" Landon pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Got it." Oliver sighed and said, "I think you should stop too. If something big happens, you won't be able to handle it." Landon didn't answer his question but instead asked, "Then what?" Oliver asked, "What do you mean?" Landon clarified, "Then what do I do?" This question stumped Oliver. He pondered for a while before replying, "You could spend more twith your mother." Landon fell silent, looking down the hallway, saying nothing.

Oliver continued, "I think you should try dating someone." Oliver suspected that Landon'srestlessness cfrom having too much free time. With nothing to occupy him, Landon fell into self-doubt, questioning his worth and constantly seeking validation. Was Landon short of money? No.

As for power, if he wanted it, it was within his grasp. So what was he missing?

Was he out for revenge against those companies who kicked the Kennedy Group when it was down? However, Oliver didn't see much hatred in him. Everything was just an excuse.
