The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 114

Chapter 114:

Caden's expression was grim.

Noticing this, Alicia felt a pang of guilt. Without realizing it, she had caused him deep frustration.

Why don't we find the nearest hotel and get a room, so you can get cleaned up.

He frowned at her. pucker. You really expect me to get in the car and drive when I'm this dirty.

Alicia didn't know what to answer. I knew she was to blame. I wasn't in a position to argue, no matter how angry Caden was.

Okay, how about I go buy you some body soap, she suggested. I need to buy some things anyway. I can take whatever you need.

Caden almost nodded when a thought hit him. His eyes went to her bottom. You're wearing underwear

Alicia blinked, visibly surprised. No, he responded, instinctively squeezing his legs. I was about to buy something.

The hospital only provided gowns to patients. Personal effects, such as underwear, were not included. Alicia had planned to buy a set of disposable underwear for her entire stay.

Caden gritted his teeth. I wasn't going to let him walk around without underwear. He looked towards the bathroom. For a moment, the only sound that filled the room was the constant dripping of the faucet.

So, hand soap.

Alicia awkwardly touched her nose. I'm sorry.

If you're really sorry, you 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. bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Alicia lay down on the bed and took out her phone to send a text message to Monica, letting her know that she was safe.

I'm going Go there right now, Monica answered. Which ward are you in?

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

A few minutes later, she heard Caden calling her from the bathroom. Hand me my clothes, will you?

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

Alicia cautiously got out of bed and carefully pulled the drip holder as she carried Caden's clothes to the bathroom.

Knowing that he was naked, she only opened the door a crack, putting the clothes inside without looking.

Come on, bring them here, Caden scolded.

Alicia kept her face averted. 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 Alicia sputter. That doesn't mean I should take every opportunity to look at your naked body!

Fortunately, Caden didn't say anything else. As she took the clothes from his hand, Alicia quickly closed the door and returned to bed.

She had barely finished putting the drip holder back into place when Caden emerged from the bathroom, impeccably dressed as always.

Seeing her struggling, he approached and lifted her onto the bed with a gentle movement.

Thank you, Alicia said timidly. Don't worry, I'll be sure to return the favor the next time you get hurt.

Caden glared at her. Next time I was bewitching him or something. It wouldn't be such a loss if he kept his mouth shut.

Alicia got under the blanket and asked: Did something else happen after I passed out? The Reyes family came.

p>

Yes, Caden answered. They plan to apologize to you in person once you are fit to be discharged.

Alicia's chest tightened. Are they really going to apologize or just take the opportunity to finish me off?

Ted had suffered a lot. Without Caden's protection, she would be an easy target, waiting for her hunters to fire the first shot.

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

But Caden already I knew she would think that way.

That's why I rejected them on your behalf.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. Good job.

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

You may have dodged a bullet today, but you won't always be so lucky. Although you were injured on the Gray family property, you should know that it is of no importance to them, nor to the Yates family. They can make everything disappear.

…they can make things disappear with a snap of their fingers and a thick wad of bills. But the same cannot be said for the Reyes family. They will definitely come after you to avenge Ted, and they will show no mercy.

Alicia remained silent. Her hands slowly balled into fists.

Caden looked at her, but when she didn't say anything, he threw the tissue in the trash and sat on the bed. He reached out, opened her fingers gently, one by one, and placed her hand, palm down, on the blanket.

Are you afraid? If so, the wisest thing to do is to find someone. powerful to support you. You don't think so

Alicia looked up and met his deep and 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 can seem absurd at first glance, Caden said. But they may prove to be the easier route. Likewise, solid, beaten paths can lead you to a dead end. It's about making the right decision.

You sound just like Joshua, Alicia murmured.

Well, there's mutual consent with me, Caden pointed out nonchalantly. You can say the same about Joshua.

Alicia was speechless again. When did you find out?

Caden shrugged his shoulders. When he touches you, you physically recoil. When I touch you, you get wet.

Alicia let out a little gasp.

Perhaps this man had no sense of decorum

She pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. eyes. You knew my intentions towards the Gray family from the beginning, but you didn't stop me. It's because you wanted Joshua to fall from grace, right

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

Alicia remembered the dream she had had. Who would have thought that the powerful Caden Ward had endured such a difficult childhood

Your target is Joshua, and mine is the Yates family. If we do this, we will have a clear deal. We will be partners. This isn't a friends with benefits type situation, you understand.

Caden bowed slightly, as if to emphasize his next words. It's completely different from your current relationship with Joshua.

Alicia's heart faltered.

She decided to be honest. I have been staying with the Yates family because I want to use this identity to achieve my goals. I'm not there yet, so I can't leave for now.

Caden was equally forceful. You have slept with Joshua during this time.
