Chapter 1530 Oliver couldn't answer Abigail's question, so he just took her back.
Landon ended up in the hospital. The docs said he was lucky; even with all that blood loss, he was still hanging on.
But they couldn't fix him up there. They just stabilized him for now, and the rest of the surgery had to be done at a bigger hospital.
Abigail listened to the whole thing, but the only word that stuck was "lucky." She finally let out a sigh of relief. She leaned against the wall, looking pale.
Seeing her like that, Oliver asked, "Abigail, are you hurt too?" Abigail shook her head. "I'm fine." Once the tension eased, she felt a wave of exhaustion hit her, barely managing to wait for the doctor's update. She wanted to find Alexander, but after a few steps, she blacked out.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard Oliver shout.
Quinn had been anxiously waiting for news. When she found out Abigail was at the hospital, she handed Sprout to Alexander and was about to leave, but he stopped her. "Why are you stopping me? I'll just go to the hospital and cback; I won't be in any danger!" Quinn exclaimed.
Alexander sighed, handed the child to Briar, and said, "I'll go with you." Quinn was momentarily stunned, then nodded. "Okay." He brought the car around, and Quinn got in. Sean and Kyle hadn't returned yet, so Alexander was the driver.
It was a long drive to the hospital, and Quinn asked if he knew what was going on.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander focused on driving and casually said, "I don't know." Quinn gave him a suspicious look and sighed. Oliver hadn't told her much, only that Landon was seriously hurt and Abigail had fainted.
Quinn didn't know anything else.
They went straight to Serenity Health Hospital, where Landon and Abigail were being transferred. Quinn sat in the car, watching the sky darken, feeling worried about Abigail.
"I wonder what happened to them on the mountain," Quinn said.
"We'll find out when we see them," Alexander replied.
As they were talking, they saw Elliot arriving. He wasn't notified by Oliver but by Alvin.
He saw Quinn and quickly walked over. "Have they arrived?" "Not yet. But Oliver said Abigail is fine, so don't worry," Quinn reassured him.
Elliot pondered for a moment. Apart from worry, there were other complex emotions on his face, indicating he knew something.
Quinn opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
It was Abigail who needed to give Elliot an explanation. Quinn couldn't interfere in their matters.
The three of them stood awkwardly at the entrance. It wasn't until dark that Oliver and the others arrived.
There were quite a few people, and Abigail didn't seem to have much to say.
Aside from Oliver, Alvin and Nancy were there too. In fact, the whole Vanderbilt family had come, and the police were there as well.
Unfortunately, Landon was in a coma, so the police couldn't take him away. They asked Oliver squestions and then stationed two officers to guard him, probably to prevent Landon from escaping.
Quinn waited for over an hour before the crowd outside the ward thinned out.
Oliver persuaded his parents to leave and had Natalia take them home, giving Quinn a chance to talk to him. "Oliver, how is Abigail?" Quinn asked.
"She's fine, just has an infected wound," Oliver replied. He glanced around. "Let's talk outside so we don't disturb her rest." Quinn nodded and followed him downstairs.
Oliver took a moment to explain the situation. Honestly, he didn't know much; most of it was guesswork.
But seeing Abigail and Landon together pretty much confirmed his suspicions. Abigail had willingly gone with Landon; otherwise, with Landon so injured, she could have run away long ago instead of staying and crying. Quinn sighed. "They've really had it tough." Oliver shook his head with a bitter smile. "Who hasn't? Emotions are weird; even the strongest people can't control them." Quinn nodded in agreement. Plus, they didn't know if they had confessed their feelings to each other. Even if they had, Abigail would have a hard tconvincing Alvin and Nancy.
Oliver turned to Alexander, who had been silent. "Alexander, what do you think?" "Just wait," Alexander said, casually sitting on a bench.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOliver was speechless for a moment. "I mean, is there any hope for Landon?" Alexander draped his arm over the back of the bench, sitting slouched. He stared at Oliver for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Quinn, who was looking at him expectantly.
Alexander pondered for a moment. "Of course, there is."
Quinn quickly sat beside him. "Really? of Is there hope for Landor?" Alexander glanced atcher. Are you that concerned about him?" "No, I'm concerned about Abigail. Don't get jealous!" Quinn said.
Alexander reasoned, "The only things that could kill him are the cruise ship incident and what he did in Municity. But there were people from all over the world on that cruise, and the ship itself wasn't clean. It's a complicated matter, and the Video Group probably doesn't want it investigated too thoroughly. Moreover, Alistair and Hetastian have already taken responsibility for it, and the Vide Group has already cleaned up the mess. As long as those few survivors don't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any issues. As for the drug trafficking, they're still investigating, but there's no evidence, and Walter was the mastermind. The main issues now are Landon's malicious competition with the company and the accidental deaths of several company owners." Alexander suddenly changed his tone. "It seems there's no hope after all." Quinn listened for a long time, only to have cold water poured on her at the end. "Are you serious?" Oliver said, "You must have a way, right?" "I'm a law-abiding citizen. Why would I help someone involved in drugs and gambling?" Alexander said.
Oliver was speechless again. "Do you believe what you're saying?" Alexander said calmly, "Then tell me, what illegal things have I done?" "Can you two be serious? We're discussing a serious matter!" Quinn interjected.
Alexander sighed and changed the subject. "Aren't you here to see Abigail? Why are we talking about Landon?" Quinn remembered her original purpose and stood up. "I'll go see if she's awake." With that, she quickly walked towards the hospital.
Outside, Oliver and Alexander looked at each other.
Oliver said, "Alexander, if Abigail comes to you, I hope you won't make things too difficult for her."
"I should be saying that to you. You'd better advise her not to make things difficult form to Alexander replied.
