Chapter 51:

Alicia had just arrived home when she picked up the phone to reassure Monica about her safety.

When she heard her voice , Monica's relief was palpable. Caden hasn't bothered you, has he?

Alicia looked at her bandaged arm and answered quietly: No.

It had been Joshua who had confronted her.

To calm her nerves, Alicia drank some water.

Monica, tomorrow I'm going to the Yates mansion.

Monica's response was curt. Why

Alicia briefly explained her plan.

She noticed Joshua's persistence, which strangely worked in her favor at that moment. In their search for rapid and effective tests, participation was essential.

Monica's concern was evident. And if something unexpected happens, you're completely alone.

Alicia giggled a little. Staying away doesn't make your life easier. It's worth taking the risk.

He knew he had to escape the vicious cycle of revenge. The longer she persisted, the more harmful she would be to her friends.

Monica, accepting Alicia's decision, offered her help. What can I do to help

After a brief pause, Alicia responded: Could you find me some books.

What kind of books are you looking for?

After the call, Alicia took a shower, but in the process accidentally aggravated a burn blister. The pain was acute and reminded him of the incident at the restaurant.

When the police had arrived that night, chaos had broken out as the crowd dispersed. Only Caden had stepped forward, calmly soothing her burn with ice from a plate.

His simple act had affected her deeply, providing her with unexpected comfort in the midst of confusion.

Back in the present, she applied more ointment to her arm.

That night, as she lay awake, the events replayed in her mind. Uneasy, she finally sent a message to Caden: Thank you very much. Only after sending it did she realize the typo.

Panic gripped her as she tried to remember the message, but in her frantic state, she accidentally deleted it.

Overwhelmed, She sighed heavily and massaged her temples.

Caden's message came after a brief pause: You're thinking of me What exactly

With difficulty breathing, Alicia managed to respond: I'm sorry, It has been a mistake. I wanted to say thank you very much.

Why didn't you correct it then. Caden asked.

I ended up deleting the message by mistake, Alicia explained.

That seems like a cliché way to admit feelings, Caden texted back.

< p>Alicia opened her eyes, surprised.

Admitting feelings

Caden had a gift for saying things that overwhelmed her.

Even through the digital screen , you could almost imagine his smile mockingly.

It was as charming as it was infuriating.

Alicia rubbed her hot cheeks, silently scolding herself. She assured herself that it was just a typo: everyone makes mistakes.

Once she regained her composure, she replied, Thank you for taking care of my arm tonight.

A single sentence That's all the thanks I get It seems insincere, Caden replied.

She understood his point.

I'll make sure my thanks aren't just words. Count on it, he replied.

At first, Caden smiled at her message.

But then a sudden memory crossed his mind, and his smile faded. He put the phone aside, bored.

Alicia's next message made his phone vibrate. Send me your address and I will mail you a thank you gift.

No need. Keep it, Caden replied.

Alicia was taken aback.

She felt an inexplicable chill.

What was happening

She didn't want a gift.

His unpredictability left her baffled.

Worried that he would use it against her later, Alice decided to send him a gift anyway.

morning came next.

Caden woke up at six, he had already been working for hours when Hank arrived.

Mr. Ward, your breakfast is ready, Hank announced, placing the food and a bag on the table. table. There is also a package from a local pharmacy. You're fine, Mr. Ward.

Caden looked up, curious. Who sends it.

It's confidential-no details available, Hank responded, opening the package. It revealed a box of medicine, and the label made him freeze in surprise.

Hank's eyes widened in amazement. Mr. Ward, it is risky to use this medication without caution. It could be harmful.

Caden's gaze moved slowly from Hank to the box of Viagra in front of him.

He was surprised too.

It was the same Viagra that Alicia had given him that afternoon.
