Caden's expression was grim.

Alice felt a pang of guilt as she noticed this. Without realizing it, she had caused him deep frustration.

"Why don't we find the nearest hotel and get a room, so you can clean up?"

He looked at her with a frown. “Do you really expectto get in a car and drive when I'm this dirty?”

Alicia didn't know what to say. She knew it was her fault. She wasn't in any position to argue, no matter how

angry Caden got.

“Okay, how about | go get you sbody soap?” she suggested. “I need to buy a few things anyway. “I can

record whatever you need.”

Caden almost agreed when a thought struck him. His eyes darted to her bottom. “Are you wearing underwear?”

Alice blinked, visibly surprised. “No,” she replied, instinctively squeezing her legs together. “I was just about to

buy something.”

The hospital only provided gowns for patients. Personal belongings, such as underwear, were not included. Alice

had planned to buy a set of disposable underwear for her entire stay.

Caden gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to let her walk around without underwear. He glanced toward the

bathroom. For a moment, the only sound that filled the room was the steady dripping of the faucet.

"So, hand soap."

Alice awkwardly touched her nose. “I'm sorry.”

"If you're really sorry, you'd better start thinking about how to make it up to me."

She raised her head at that, but Caden had already disappeared into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Alicia laid down on the bed and pulled out her phone to text Monica, letting her know she was safe.

"I'll be there right now," Monica replied. "Which ward are you in?"

Alicia enjoyed the warmth her friends provided her. She quickly sent the address to Monica.

A few minutes later, she heard Caden calling her from the bathroom. “Handmy clothes, will you?”

Alice looked at the back of her hand. The line was still connected.

Alicia cautiously got out of bed and carefully pulled the IV stand out as she carried Caden's clothes into the

bathroom.

Knowing he was naked, he only opened the door a crack, shoving his clothes inside without looking.

“Con, bring them here,” Caden scolded.

Alice kept her face warned. “Don't you think that would be a little inappropriate?”

"What do you mean? You've seen every inch of my body, right?"

That made Alice stammer. “That doesn't mean | have to take every opportunity to look at your naked body!”

Fortunately, Caden didn't say anything else. When he took the clothes from her hand, Alicia quickly closed the

door and went back to bed.

She had barely finished putting the drip stand in place when Caden emerged from the bathroom, impeccably

dressed as always.

Seeing her struggle, he walked over and lifted her onto the bed in one smooth motion.

“Thank you,” Alice said timidly. “Don’t worry, I'll be sure to return the favor next tyou get hurt.”

Caden glared at her. Next time? Was she hexing him or something? It wouldn't be such a loss if she'd just shut

up.

Alicia crawled under the blanket and asked, “Did anything else happen after | passed out? Did the Reyes family

eat?”

“Yes,” Caden replied. “They plan to apologize to you in person once you are able to be discharged.”

Alice's chest tightened. "Are they really going to apologize or just take advantage of the opportunity to finish me

off?"

Ted had been through a lot. Without Caden's protection, he would be an easy target, waiting for his hunters to

take the first shot.

They could torture her however they wanted, for as long as they wanted.

But Caden already knew she would think that way.

"That is why | rejected them in your name."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief. “Good job.”

Caden grabbed a pack of tissues and began wiping his hands.

«You may have dodged a bullet today, but you won't always be so lucky. Even though you were injured on the

Gray family's property, you should know that it doesn't matter to them, or to the Yates family. "They can make it

all go away."

“...they can make things disappear with a snap of their fingers and a thick wad of cash. But the scannot be

said for the Reyes family. They will definitely cafter you to avenge Ted, and they will show no mercy.”

Alice fell silent. Her hands slowly clenched into fists.

Caden looked at her, but when she didn't say anything, he tossed the tissue into the trash and sat down on the

bed. He reached out, gently opened her fingers, one by one, and laid her hand, palm down, on the blanket.

"Are you afraid? If so, the most sensitive thing to do is to find someone powerful to support you. Don't you think

so?"

Alice looked up and met her deep, meaningful gaze. For a few seconds she stood paralyzed, staring at him in a

daze.

She was torn, her emotions fighting against her reason.

“Certain paths may seem absurd at first glance,” Caden said. “But they may turn out to be the easiest route.

Likewise, well-trodden paths can lead you to a dead end. It’s about making the right choice.”

“You sound just like Joshua,” Alice murmured.

“Well, withit’s mutual consent,” Caden said nonchalantly. “Can you say the sabout Joshua?”

Alice was speechless again. “When did you find out?”

Caden shrugged. “When he touches you, you physically recoil. When | touch you, you get wet.”

Alice let out a little gasp.

Did this man have no sense of decorum?

eyes. “You knew my intentions mn

“It's not just him,” Caden said nonchalantly. “The whole Yates family.”

Alice remembered the dream she'd had. Who would have thought that the mighty Caden Ward had endured such

a difficult childhood?

Caden leaned in slightly, as if to emphasize his next words. “It's completely different from your current

relationship with Joshua.”

Alice's heart wavered.

She decided to be honest. “I have

Caden was equally blunt. “Have you slept with Joshua during this time?”
