Love Unspoken

Chapter 1485 Alexander didn't say a word, just held her tight.

They sat there in silence, like thad hit the pause button.

"Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy..." Olivia called out.

She saw them hugging at the door, turned red, and quietly backed out.

Quinn gently pushed Alexander away and grabbed his hand. "Let's go eat first." Alexander shook his head. "You go ahead. I'm not hungry." "You haven't eaten much today. Are you feeling okay?" Quinn asked, worry etched on her face. He'd been looking pale for days, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Just as Alexander was about to answer, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw Calvin's name.

"It's nothing. Go eat. I'll take this call," Alexander said, patting Quinn's arm before stepping out with his phone.

Quinn noticed it was Calvin calling. Had they been in touch all this time? She got up to follow, but Alexander had already headed to the study.

Olivia asked, "Mrs. Kennedy, are you still going to eat?" Quinn nodded. "Yeah, let's go." In the study, Calvin's voice cthrough the phone. "Still alive?" Alexander smirked. "Thanks, Calvin. Still kicking. What's up?" "Not much. Just thought I'd check in. Did you take the meds? How you feeling?" Calvin asked.

It was obvious Calvin knew something was up. Alexander's voice gave away his weakness.

Alexander didn't feel like chatting. He slumped on the sofa, rubbing his temples, looking exhausted.

Calvin kept talking. "Just wanted to see if you're handling it like you said you would. This stuff's rough, huh? But it's not the end of the world. The first two months are the worst. After that, it gets easier." The medicine was for treatment, not torture. Once Alexander got through the first two months, the rest of the year should be manageable.

Plus, it was still in development, so it would get better over time. The problem was, no matter how much they improved it, the effect stayed the same. It could only reduce side effects, not increase resistance. Eventually, the body would get used to it, making it useless.

Unless they found another medicine to replace it.

Alexander sighed. "So, if I make it through two months, I can die in peace?" "Don't talk like that! Even if you want to die, I won't let you. You better stick around. If you make Quinn a widow, I'll dig you up myself!" Calvin snapped.

Alexander couldn't help but laugh at Calvin's angry tone.

Calvin continued, "Enough with the jokes. I'll csee you in two months. The Lynch family is in chaos over that tech, and Walter's stirring up trouble. I need a way out, and you'll helpthen." Calvin was backed by the Lynch family. If they fell, everyone would turn on him. No matter how powerful he was in Municity, he couldn't fight off enemies from all sides.

Last time, Zeke personally cto Municity to check out the factory he and Aron had set up. He took everyone from the factory back to Arcturus, leaving Calvin's place a ghost town.

Calvin had no plans to stick around. He wanted out ASAP. If he didn't bail before the Lynch family crumbled, he'd be toast.

Selling firearms meant he couldn't just run to any country and hide.

"Walter's probably reached out to you, right?" Alexander asked.

"How'd you know?" Calvin said, surprised.

"I know Walter well enough to see his moves coming," Alexander replied.

Calvin went quiet.

After a moment, he nodded. "Yeah, he contacted me, but I don't trust him. Between him and you, I'd pick you. At least I know where we stand." Alexander stayed silent.

Calvin explained that Walter wanted to team up. The best way to break free from the Lynch family was to build their own power.

If they could create a force stronger than the Lynch family, both their enemies would think twice before messing with them.

Walter couldn't do it alone. Teaming up with Calvin would make it easier.

Calvin had money, manpower, and weapons, but that wasn't enough. They needed a strong ally in the beginning.

Alexander could guess Walter's plan.

"So, Walter wants you to join Vesperia?" Alexander asked.

Calvin was impressed. "You're sharp! That's exactly it. He said he'd make contact. With Future Era, they could take down the Lynch family. I thought he was trying to trick me."

"You're right," Alexander said. "If you join Vesperia, you have to prove your loyalty. Once you hand over them Lynch family's secrets, there's no turning back. If they tell you to destroy the Lynch family, you have to do it. You know what happens if you don't, right?" Calvin was stunned.

Once he handed over the secrets, he'd be forced to destroy the Lynch family. If he didn't, Vesperia would spill the beans to the Lynch family, and they'd cafter him. After the Lynch family was gone, he'd be useless. He'd be a traitor, and everything he had would go to Walter.

Calvin broke out in a cold sweat. "I knew it. Walter's got big ambitions." Alexander sneered.

Calvin had been beating around the bush just to bring this up. He didn't want to look like an idiot.

Alexander asked, "So, did the Lynch family develop a secret weapon?" Calvin replied, "How would I know? And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." He knew how serious this was. Trust no one. Not Walter, not Alexander.

Alexander shrugged. "Alright, I'm hanging up." "Wait!" Calvin called out.

"What now?" Alexander asked.

Calvin coughed. "It's nothing major. Given the situation, got any better ideas? Should I do something?" He hated all the sneaky stuff. When Walter cto him before, he almost fell for it.

But now, after talking to Alexander, he realized the Lynch family couldn't fall yet, or he'd be out on the streets.
