Chapter 52

Chapter 52:

Hank continued searching through the bag. You have bought seven boxes. You plan to consume them as if they were candy. Caden's expression darkened.

Taking a deep breath, he pointed to the closet next to him. Put them there and close it.

Hank's concern was palpable. Ciara was clear that you shouldn't take random medications. You can tell me how long you've been taking them How many you've taken How you feel now.

Before Caden could respond, a thought hit Hank. Wait, this is why you were watching those videos earlier in the car. You got out of hand and lost control.

Caden's response was cold. If I couldn't control myself, you'd be the first to know.

Hank stayed silent, imagining the scenario, and quickly composed himself. He carefully stored the medication in the private closet.

Caden then sent a message to Alicia. Who taught you to say thank you like that?

Alicia replied: It's not necessary.

This left Caden amused and frustrated at the same time.

Shortly after, Alicia asked: I fell short. And he added: They are quite expensive: $180 each. You only bandaged my arm. Not enough

Caden scoffed. Thank you for giving me more than a thousand.

Actually it was 900 dollars. There was a promotion: buy five and get two free, Alicia clarified.

Caden put the phone aside and chose not to answer. Answering would only increase his frustration.

Noticing Caden massaging his temples, Hank thought he might have caused him some discomfort. Respecting their relationship, he felt obligated to apologize. I'm sorry, Mr. Ward, I crossed a line earlier.

He then opened the cabinet, took out a box and a pill.

Caden frowned, looking at Hank . What are you doing

You can take this medicine if you want, but make sure you take it after meals so it doesn't make you sick to your stomach, Hank answered.

Caden was speechless, wondering what kind of person he had employed.

Indifferently, Caden sipped his coffee and asked, Is Jerald awake?

Hank replied, Yes, and he has to go back to the Yates mansion for dinner today.

Go Start the car, Caden ordered.

Hank, puzzled, asked: It's still early to eat. Why come back so soon to confront that family and make yourself uncomfortable.

Dealing with you gives me more of a headache, Caden replied, throwing the pill in the trash.

Hank realized He realized that Caden had been acting strangely since his return to the country. Caden, once known for his emotional stability, now seemed to be always on edge.

Determined to keep the peace, Hank talked less and tried to keep Caden in a good mood.

It was time. rush and there was a lot of traffic.

Caden casually looked through some documents. Jerald had been ill for years, going from one hospital to another without finding a cure. His condition had deteriorated to the point that the Yates family had given up hope of recovery, simply waiting for the inevitable.

Upon his return, Caden had taken care of Jerald and soon noticed abnormalities in his condition. state. Subsequent tests revealed traces of a slow-acting poison in Jerald's bloodstream, a substance that gradually weakened his heart, administered in small inadvertent doses over time, beginning in the previous year.

It was of a covert and silent murder.

Caden smiled satisfied. This drug is illegal here and is only available through private transactions. Tell them to speed up the investigation. I need to know who is responsible as soon as possible.

Hank nodded.

The traffic was still heavy and it was clear that it would take a while to clear. Hank turned off the engine and expressed his confusion to Caden. Mr. Ward, I don't understand. He despises his father so much. If it goes away, it goes away. He could just gather evidence and confront Joshua later. Why bother with all this effort now

I need Jerald alive for now, Caden stated calmly.

Hank was surprised by this revelation.

Understanding Caden looked out the window at the pleasant weather, but his expression was still cold. The heat of the sun did nothing to thaw his icy demeanor.

As the car crept forward, Caden was about to divert his attention when he noticed a familiar figure emerging from a bookstore.

It was Alicia, dressed in a light green spaghetti strap dress, complemented by a sheer shawl that almost seemed transparent, resting delicately on her slim shoulders. He was carrying two books and was approaching in their direction.

The intense sunlight highlighted his striking features. As Alicia moved, the breeze caught her skirt, accentuating her pure and innocent appearance. Her attire, modest but captivating, attracted admiring glances. Alicia's beauty was undeniable.

She was not known for being ostentatious, nor did she shy away from attention. However, today's outfit was unlike anything Caden had ever seen on her before.

This sparked inappropriate thoughts in him, darkening his expression.

Hank also noticed Alicia. and hesitated before suggesting: Mr. Ward, we offer Miss Bennett a ride.

Caden looked away and firmly declined: No.

Hank gripped the steering wheel tightly. , watching Alicia while she waited together to the road to be taken. Near her, a few pedestrians were surreptitiously photographing her, whispering among themselves.

Surprised, Hank turned to Caden: Mr. Ward, it seems that Miss Bennett is being secretly photographed.
