The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 240: The room was filled with silence, tension hanging in the air.

Finally, Dorian broke it, his voice deep resonating with authority. Who is going to make it difficult for you And why are we debating this What is more important, a life or personal obligations.

Yolanda bowed her head, fresh tears sliding down her cheeks.

Caden's face remained impassive. No one will make my life impossible, but my presence is not the cure that Yolanda needs. Once I have seen Grandma safely home, I must return to my duties. Mr. and Mrs. Moss, I thank you for your efforts in managing things here.

Regina nodded gently. Go ahead, Caden. Your work can't wait.

Yolanda's hands clenched in silent desperation.

When Caden turned to leave, he faked a cough, biting hard on his lip. until the metallic taste of blood filled his mouth.

Alarmed, Dorian quickly called for a doctor.

Caden stood aside, his expression unreadable as he watched her. struggle.

Pale and with teary eyes, Yolanda looked at him, her voice hoarse. "You should go," he whispered. Don't lethold you back.

Caden pressed his lips into a thin line. Conserve your energy, Yolanda. It's better if you don't talk, he advised her quietly.

He knew that her condition was worsening from overexertion, largely fueled by her emotions towards him. The thought of leaving her in such a fragile state ate at him inside, making it difficult for him to walk away.

When Yolanda realized that he had not left, her lips curved into a slight smile of relief.

After the doctor finished his examination, Caden collected his medical history, his sharp eyes examining the details thoughtfully. She began to consider finding a specialist to improve her treatment.

With trembling fingers, Yolanda reached out and grabbed the hem of her jacket. His voice, fragile and uncertain, broke the silence. Caden, staying would upset her.

Caden's expression hardened slightly as he asked, Who do you mean? Yolanda bit her lip nervously, her gaze avoiding his. To Miss Bennett, he whispered.

Caden's eyes narrowed slightly and he replied, It's none of your business. Don't worry about it. His tone was polite, but beneath the surface there was a cold tone.

Yolanda lay back on the pillow, without taking her eyes off his face. The affection and longing in her eyes were unmistakable.

Unable to endure the tense atmosphere any longer, Ciara interjected: I know an excellent doctor who specializes in traditional medicine. I will ask him to prescribe something for Yolanda to try.

Dorian accepted his offer kindly. Thank you, Mrs. Ward. It would be a great help.

Ciara nodded and left the room, Jasmine following close behind.

Once they were sdistance away, Jasmine commented: Mr. Ward seems deeply entangled. into social obligations.

He won't be for long, Ciara replied confidently. Values returning favors, but despises unnecessary complications. Once he has settled his debt to Yolanda, he will leave without hesitation.

Bewildered by Ciara's dismissive tone, Jasmine asked: If you don't care about Yolanda, why did you offer to find her a doctor? Ciara sighed tiredly. What a doctor I have no intention of wasting my ton that, he said bluntly. Instead, go downstairs, buy scoffee, and bring it to her.

Coffee But why did Jasmine ask, with obvious confusion? Ciara snorted. I can't stand fakers. I'm already being more generous than usual.

Jasmine was surprised. Who would have thought Ciara could be so funny sometimes Meanwhile, Caden made a phone call, arranging for advanced medical equipment to be sent from another city to assist in Yolanda's treatment.

<p>Although it wouldn't cure her, the equipment was much more effective than conventional medicine. He covered all expenses without hesitation and exchanged a few words with Dorian before leaving.

Caden's efforts left no room for complaints from anyone else.

Back in the room, the warmth in Yolanda's eyes faded. Turning to Dorian, he said: When I finish this IV, I'm leaving. I have to get back to work.

Dorian was about to lose his temper, but Regina gently put a hand on his arm and calmed him before he could speak.

She approached. to Yolanda's bed, with a soothing voice despite her doubts. Yolanda, you don't see what Caden feels.

Yolanda responded resolutely: Of course I can. But that doesn't stopfrom loving him.

With determination, she pulled out the IV needle, pushed back the blanket, and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.

Are you really willing to risk your life? life just to chase him. Regina asked, concern etched on her face.

You think I want to do it, Yolanda replied, with an impatient tone. If she were healthy, Caden would be mine a long tago.

Regina's expression changed slightly, although she maintained her composure. Her upbringing had instilled in her a sense of calm, even in moments of frustration.

Yolanda, you're an adult now. If this is what you really want, do it. But as your mother, I must advise you to reconsider. If you continue to act so recklessly, you could end up with nothing.

Yolanda had pushed herself to the brink of illness in her desperate attempt to win Caden's sympathy. He had already coughed up blood twice. It was working What was she thinking? She felt so stupid.

Her voice turned cold. If I don't take responsibility for myself, what am I supposed to do? Depending on you. Instead of lecturing me, why don't you helpmake life easier.

Ignoring Dorian's attempts to intervene, He abruptly left the room.

Dorian sighed, feeling trapped between Regina and Yolanda. Regina, why do you keep arguing with her? She's still so immature.

Regina rubbed her temples in frustration. Leave her alone.

Dorian's expression darkened. Caden isn't that ruthless. You heard it om before: he spent hundreds of millions on medical equipment for his treatment. She's trying to make his life a little better. Regina gave him a sharp look. He did it because he wants to distance himself from us. You don't realize Dorian remained silent, unable to refute her statement.

For Caden, Yolanda's situation was trivial; He didn't give it any more thought.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking for messages on his phone.

Her inbox was full of untead messages, but none of them were from Alicia. It was unusual.

The gallery had expanded rapidly recently, and Alicia always He kept up to date with her accomplishments and asked her opinion on anything.

It didn't seem strange that he hadn't been there this morning Caden frowned slightly as he reflected.</p> Just then, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Gerry.

Gerry's excited voice cover the line. I just bought a new sports ew sports car! It's amazing. I'll pick you up this afternoon, okay. Let's go to the celebration party together. Celebration party, Caden repeated, his tone flat.

Gerry sounded surprised. Yes, Alice's party. You didn't know.
