Chapter 272: Why did he even bother? He didn't need anything.
Without turning to look at him, she stroked Cade's soft head and replied quietly, "I had business in Averibon.
I was resting there that night.
Don't worry; I have better things to do than stalk you." Caden pursed his lips.
Stalking you? That wasn't what he had thought at all.
It all seemed too coincidental, and his instincts told him that Yolanda had something to do with it.
But Alice did not linger on the subject.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe went out of the door without another word.
After dropping Cade off at the barber shop, she gave the staff an address.
"Please drop Cade off at this address afterwards.
Thank you." By mid-afternoon, Caden had returned to the Joy Mansion.
He wasn't one to delay when things got serious, and Dorian needed to find out about Yolanda's condition directly from him.
Caden handed her a sleek white business card in a firm voice.
"This is the contact for a high-level doctor at Averibon.
He is highly qualified.
I have reviewed the treatment plan and if Yolanda follows it, she has a seventy percent chance of recovery." Dorian had already seen his daughter that sday.
There were faint traces of her allergy, but there was something else: she seemed quieter, more withdrawn than usual, as if she were hiding something.
Now, hearing Caden bring up the subject so bluntly, suspicion gnawed at him.
"What exactly happened between you and Yolanda?" Caden's response was cold, almost indifferent.
"If you want the full story, I suggest you ask him yourself.
After all, you are his father; communication should cnaturally." Dorian frowned, sensing something deeper.
"Does this have anything to do with Alice?" At the mention of Alicia's name, Caden's gaze sharpened, a dark edge flashing in his eyes.
"Tell me, Dorian: are you worried about Yolanda or are you more interested in Alicia?" Dorian raised his eyebrows, surprised by Caden's sudden change in attitude.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe icy look Caden was giving him was disconcerting, but what bothered him more was Caden's insinuation.
Him? Interested in Alice? Absurd.
He shook his head in exasperation, sighing.
"I'm too old to be her father! I only ask because you three are such a mess of !"
Caden's jaw tightened, but of course, he never really thought for a sedond e that pohan was interested in Alicia. His worries lay in what Dorian would do for his daughter.
"I'll take care of it," Caden said, his voice firm.
"What you need to focus on is calming Yolanda down.
And moving out of Joy Mansion-soon."
Dorian blinked, momentarily stunned by the cold finality of Caden's words. NO The cruelty wasn't entirely unexpected, but it shook him nonetheless.
