Love Unspoken

Chapter 1500 Neither of them said a word after that. Oliver was lost in thoughts about Abigail. He hadn't spilled the whole story to his parents yet, just that Abigail had been found. Landon hung around for a bit before taking off. The guy they caught still needed dealing with, so Landon went to handle it.

As dawn broke, Elliot showed up.

Abigail had been moved to a ward. Elliot was about to walk in when Oliver stopped him.

Elliot, looking worried, asked, "What happened to her?" Oliver tried to calm him down, "She got bit by a snake, but she's okay now. Don't stress." He could see the worry on Elliot's face. There was always something off about Elliot and Abigail's relationship. They seemed close, but there was no spark.

But now, seeing Elliot so concerned, with that deeper affection in his eyes, Oliver felt a bit more at ease.

He gave Elliot a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "She's fine. Don't worry too much. But your wedding's gonna have to wait." Elliot's face showed a flicker of regret but it quickly vanished. "It's alright. We've got time. We'll wait till she's better." Oliver nodded. "Yeah." Even though Oliver didn't want to dive into the details of Abigail's kidnapping, he knew they had to explain her absence to the Sullivan family.

After thinking for a moment, he told Elliot, "Your family wasn't too thrilled about this marriage from the start. You might need to explain things to them." Elliot replied, "I know. I'll handle it." Oliver gave a small smile.

They stood at the door for a bit. Once Elliot was sure Abigail was out of danger, he left the hospital to go calm his family down.

Quinn got the news from Oliver in the morning. She wanted to rush to the hospital to see Abigail but Alexander stopped her.

Alexander reasoned, "It's too far and not safe, and you're still hurt. Oliver said she's not in any life-threatening danger. Wait till she comes back to visit." Seeing the worry in his eyes and remembering how Alexander had risked himself to save her yesterday, Quinn agreed.

She sent Abigail a message, asking her to call when she woke up.

Abigail lay in the hospital all day before waking up. She stared blankly at the ceiling. If it weren't for the pain in her ankle, she would've thought she was dreaming.

Oliver had been watching her for a while, worried she might have saftereffects from her injury, staring at the ceiling like that. He quickly called the doctor to check on her. After the check-up, the doctor said everything was fine. The toxins in her body weren't completely cleared yet, and she needed a few more days of IV treatment. Oliver said, "Got it. Thanks, doc." After the doctor left, Oliver sat by Abigail's bed. "Abigail, you okay? Feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Abigail blinked and turned to look at him. She croaked out, "Oliver, am I still alive?" Oliver replied, "What kind of question is that? How could you be talking toif you were dead?" Abigail was silent for a bit, wanting to ask about Landon but held back.

Oliver asked, "What's wrong? Got something to tell me?" Abigail said, "No." Oliver looked at her with guilt. "Abigail, I'm sorry. This is all my fault." Abigail pleaded, "Can you stop working with Landon? That guy's got nothing to lose, but we have a family. I'm really worried." Oliver held her hand gently and said, "I know. Don't worry. I won't work with him anymore." Abigail asked, "Really?" Oliver reassured her, "Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Just focus on getting better." Abigail thought of something else and said, "Will he agree? Will he retaliate against us?" Oliver said, "No, stop overthinking. It's just a business decision. Why would he retaliate?" Abigail pressed her lips together and sighed in frustration.

Calling Landon a lunatic was reasonable. He showed no mercy when dealing with companies, pushing them to the brink.

Those people would definitely retaliate against him. When they have nothing left, they can do anything.

The man who kidnapped her this twas just an example.

Abigail closed her eyes, feeling very tired.

Seeing Abigail's worried look, Oliver thought she was concerned about their family's safety. He comforted her for a while and then went out to call Alvin. Elliot, having reassured his family, also cto the ward.

He placed a bouquet of carnations on the bedside table and turned to ask Abigail, "Are you feeling better?" Abigail looked up at him and sighed. "I'm fine. Don't worry." Elliot said, "But it was a venomous snake. How could it be nothing? You're lucky you got to the hospital in time." Abigail suddenly remembered last night.

She could never guess what Landon was thinking.

Elliot asked, "Abigail, are you thinking about another man?" Abigail was stunned, then snapped back to reality, glaring at him in anger and embarrassment. "You should be the one thinking about another man!" she accused.

Elliot smiled but said nothing. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Abigail replied, "I'm not hungry. I have no appetite." Elliot said, "Alright then."

He stayed with her and talked about the wedding. "Although the wedding didn't happen, we went through all the necessary steps All the guests Ο came; we just didn't complete the ceremony. I discussed it with my parents, and we decided to consider it as if the wedding had already taken place. Once you're discharged, we'll go sign the marriage certificate." Abigail listened to him talk for a long tbut only caught the part about the marriage certificate.

She looked at him in confusion. "Are you in such a hurry?" Elliot replied, "Isn't this what you wanted? The sooner we get married, the sooner we're free." Abigail said hesitantly, "We've cthis far. I don't think my dad will rushto get married anymore. Why don't you think it over?" Elliot's smile faded a bit but still maintained its upward curve. "What's wrong? Did something happen last night?" Abigail felt a bit annoyed. "It has nothing to do with last night. I'm thinking about you. You're still young. Think it over."

Elliot was silent for a while and then sighed. "Alright, it seems like youn need more ttd think. It's okay. I'll wait for you." Abigail opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Indeed, she suddenly felt resistant to marriage. She couldn't explain why, but she couldn't be as decisive as before. Abigail said, "I'm tired. You should go. I need to sleep." She turned her back to Elliot.

Elliot looked at her for a moment before standing up and leaving. Oliver had just finished his call at the door.

NO He smiled and greeted Elliot. Oliver asked, "Why are you leaving so soon?" Elliot said, "Abigail said she wanted to sleep, so I won't disturb her. By the way, Oliver, can you tellwhat happened last night in detail?"
