Love Unspoken

Chapter 1507 Landon kept his mouth shut, taking the doctor's lecture like a champ before finally muttering, "Got it." The doc gave him a few more pointers and then took off.

"It was just a quick fix," Landon explained.

Abigail squinted, "What did you say?" "Nothing." Landon hesitated, then asked, "Do we need to tell Oliver or anyone else?" Abigail waved it off. "Nah. If Alvin finds out, he'll lockup again. And I don't want Oliver stressing out; he's just as bad as Alvin." Landon gave a slight nod and didn't push it. He stood up, "You should get srest. I'm heading out for a bit." Abigail shrugged, "Do what you gotta do." Once he left the room, Landon had plans to track down the guy who slipped away. But first, he headed home.

Aurora was still cleaning up the place. She spun around, startled, when she heard footsteps. Seeing it was Landon, she relaxed.

"Why are you back? How's Abigail? Is she okay?" she asked.

Landon walked in, scanning the room. The body was gone, and the bloodstains were cleaned up, but the metallic smell still hung in the air.

"Why was Abigail here?" Landon asked.

Aurora put down the cloth, looking a bit guilty. "We bumped into each other on the way. It's my fault. If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have called her over and dragged her into this mess." Aurora knew these people were after Landon. They were causing trouble because of him.

But she kept that to herself. She didn't want to show any sign of being caught up in Landon's problems. She didn't want to leave him, even if it meant danger.

Landon stayed quiet.

Aurora asked, "Do you know Abigail well?" "Not really," Landon replied.

Aurora gave him a skeptical look. "Seriously?" She had been hiding in the house earlier but heard everything. When the guy said Abigail was kidnapped, Landon rushed to save her.

If they weren't close, would he have done that? No one knew Landon better than she did. Even if it was someone he knew well, he might not have gone to save them.

"Believe it or not. I have other things to do. Lock the door and don't open it for anyone. I'm out," Landon said. Aurora followed him to the door, watching him leave with a worried sigh.

She wondered when he'd finally get the peaceful life she wished for him. After cleaning up the house, she went to the hospital to check on Abigail. Knowing Aurora was Landon's mom, Abigail got a bit more reserved around her.

Aurora brought her food, and Abigail was touched. When Aurora poured her water, Abigail wished she could get up and do it herself.

"Aurora, I'm fine now. You don't have to stay with me," Abigail said.

Aurora opened the thermos and served her a bowl of soup. "The doctor said you lost a lot of blood. You need to replenish it. This is milk pumpkin soup I made for you. It's good for you. Try it." Abigail leaned against the headboard, reluctantly reaching out, but Aurora dodged her hand.

"You're still hurt. Letfeed you. Open up," Aurora insisted.

Abigail protested, "Seriously, I can handle it." Aurora insisted, "Con, be good. Open up. You saved my life and almost lost yours. Letdo something to repay you." Abigail replied, "It wasn't about you. I just happened to be there. Anyone else would have done the same." Aurora shook her head, "Not necessarily. You're the bravest girl I've ever met. I really like you." Feeling awkward, Abigail forced a smile.

Aurora handed the spoon over again. "Con, drink up." With no other option, Abigail reluctantly opened her mouth.

She felt incredibly conflicted. She had just wanted to go out and relax, but she ended up in this mess.

It felt like sinvisible force was pushing her towards Landon.

Aurora practically moved into the hospital, only going hto change clothes and cook. Most of the time, she stayed with Abigail, and they gradually got to know each other better.

Abigail realized Aurora was very kind and considerate, taking care of her with great care.

How did Landon turn out the way he did? What puzzled her more was how someone like Aurora could have a child with Wayne.

Abigail wanted to ask several times but couldn't bring herself to. It would be too offensive to Aurora.

Abigail stayed in the hospital for a week. Her injuries healed well, and she could get out of bed, but then doctor suggested she stay a few mere days. Her wound was deep, and if it reopened at home, it would be more troublesome. During those days, Landon never showed up, as if he had vanished. Aurora took her for a walk in the hospital park. The sun was shining warmly.

Aurora helped her sit on a bench. Abigail asked, "What has Landon been up to these days?" Aurora shook her head. "I don't know. He never tellswhat he's doing." Abigail said, "You two are so different. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe you're his mother." Aurora gave a bitter smile. "Yeah, it's my fault for not guiding him well when he was young." Abigail asked, "Do you know what he's done?" Aurora looked a bit dazed, staring at the distant flowerbed, murmuring, "How could I not know? The police have ctomany times." Abigail was surprised. "You know?"

Aurora said, "It's a good thing he doesn't tellanything. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do whenm facing the police. Should I stand by PP.

him as his mother or hope he can turn over a new leaf and report him?" Abigail opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She thought this was probably why Landon didn't tell Aurora anything. If Aurora knew nothing, she wouldn't be torn.

They sat quietly on the bench, soaking up the sunlight.

In Regal Riverside, Alexander was teaching Sprout to walk when Landon suddenly showed up.

Seeing Landon at the door, Alexander wasn't surprised. He glanced atm Landon then looked away, raising his hand to steady Sprout. "Walk slowly." Sprout wobbled a few steps and fell into his arms.

Alexander picked him up and turned to Landon, saying, "Look, here's someone who doesn't keep his word."
