Chapter 118

Chapter 118:

Alicia's injuries were not too serious. After three days in the hospital, she was almost back to her normal self. However, the doctor recommended that he stay under observation a little longer due to his head injury.

I could go home just for tonight. Alice asked. I can come back early tomorrow for the IV.

The doctor looked at her questioningly. There is something urgent that needs to be taken care of.

Alicia hesitated to respond.

It wasn't exactly urgent, but if she ignored it, she would feel uncomfortable.

Yes, he replied, scratching his head nervously. Unfortunately, he grazed the wound, causing him to wince in pain. There is… a broken pipe in my house. There is no one to take care of it and I have to tell the administrator.

The doctor looked at her with concern. She's sure she should take care of that in her state. She can't ask someone else for help.

Alicia raised an eyebrow. My condition is so serious.

Not exactly, but you have to avoid overexertion. Even if you go home, make sure you get as much rest as possible.

I'll be careful, Alicia assured the doctor. Seeing her determination, the doctor allowed her to leave.

Be sure to come see me first thing tomorrow morning.

Understood.

When Alicia left the hospital, It was already after eight in the afternoon.

The temperature had dropped noticeably. The cold of autumn surprised her when she went outside.

Three days had passed since the last time Alicia contacted Caden. As she typed a message, a feeling of uneasiness came over her. He asked him: Have you finished working. It was usually Caden's busiest time of day.

It was more than ten minutes before his response came. What's wrong

Alicia responded: It doesn't matter. Focus on your work.

Caden answered quickly: What Just say it.

Alicia could almost imagine his impatient expression at his short response.

With a small smile. , he replied: You helped me at the Gray family's house, and I promised to prepare a meal for you. Today I am free. How about I keep that promise?

Right after sending it, he was worried that someone might take it the wrong way, so he added: That way I won't continue to owe you favors.

Caden read the message for half an hour. later.

His mood changed and he decided to settle the argument.

We will continue with this tomorrow, he said, getting up from his chair. He grabbed his coat and added, We're done for today.

Hank rubbed his tired eyes as he followed. It's very late, sir. He hasn't had dinner yet. He wants me to ask him something.

Caden got into the driver's seat.

Don't bother. I'll have dinner at home.

Hank stood by the car, confused. You're going to cook tonight.

Caden looked at him briefly. Someone is making me dinner.

Hank's eyes widened. You hired a chef, Mr. Ward. He quickly ran to the passenger door and asked, "Can I join you for dinner?"

Before Hank could reach the doorknob, Caden drove off, leaving him behind.

Hank looked at him in disbelief, completely stunned.

Who exactly was that mysterious cook

Alicia leaned against the wall, trying to stabilize herself. Just as she felt her knees go weak and was preparing to bend over, the elevator doors opened, revealing Caden getting out.

Seeing him, she stood up and looked at him.

The lights in the hallway were bright, but the rushing wind carried a biting cold. He noticed that her reddened eyes were clear and focused despite the cold.

Before she could ask a question, Alicia said, I haven't waited long. It took me half an hour to make the purchase and then I saw your message about returning.

Caden did a quick calculation. It had taken him about twenty minutes to get home.

He must have been here for a long time.

First he looked at the bump on his head and noticed that it had shrunk considerably.

Then he looked at his hands.

Alicia was carrying shopping bags and the straps were digging into her fingers, turning them red.

Caden took off his coat and He put it on his shoulders. Then he reached out to enter the door code.

Have you been discharged, he asked, his voice tired from a long day.

Alicia felt the warmth of his coat and stammered: No... They only gave me permission to go out for a while. The door unlocked with a click.

After hearing her response, Caden turned and looked at her.

It looks like you were looking forward to coming, he said with a small smile.

Alicia's pale face turned red and she quickly answered: That's not it! I'm just here to cook for you.

That's what I was saying, Caden replied, taking the shopping bags from her and then taking her hand. What did you think he meant?

Alicia didn't know what to say.

You always fall for the same trick, Caden commented.

She looked at their hands, still clasped together. . His warmth and the feel of her skin tugged at his emotions. Her face turned even redder, and she quickly moved her hand away.

Caden ignored her reaction.

Change your shoes, he told her.

There was no one here. shoes for her, but he had a new pair she could wear.

Her feet were much smaller than his. Her shoes were size 10H. They were too big for her. When she put them on, they made noise when she walked.

Caden poured her a glass of hot water and was about to call her when he saw her heading straight for the kitchen.

Her wound He hadn't healed yet, so his movements were slow.

There was a certain grace in the way he moved. Under the warm light, Caden felt a comforting sense of calm after three hectic days.

He approached, holding the glass of water. If it's too much, don't pressure yourself. You owe me this meal for three days; A few more won't change anything.

Alicia looked back at him. But I'm here, no.

Seeing how determined she was, Caden said, If you're worried about not doing enough, then do something different.

Alicia looked at him, bewildered. Do what

Caden pursed his lips, his expression serious. Love.

Alicia stared at him, unable to say a word.
