Chapter: 125

But a sudden memory made him stop smiling, and he tossed his phone aside, bored.

Alicia's next message vibrated his phone. “Send me your address, and I'll mail you a thank you gift."

"No need. Keep it," Caden responded.

Alicia was taken aback.

She felt an inexplicable chill.

What was happening?

Didn't he want a gift?

His unpredictability was baffling.

Concerned he might use this against her later, Alicia decided to send a gift anyway, arranging overnight delivery to his office.

The following morning dawned.

Caden woke at six, having already been working for hours when Hank arrived.

"Mr. Ward, your breakfast is ready," Hank announced, setting down the food and a bag. “There's also a package from a Local pharmacy. Are you feeling okay, Mr. Ward?"

Caden looked up, curious. "Who sent it?"

“It's confidential, no details available," said Hank as he opened the package to reveal a box of medicine.

The label on it shocked him into widening his eyes.

Hank was astonished. "Mr. Ward, it's risky to use this medication without caution. It could be harmful!"

Caden's attention shifted slowly from Hank to the box of Viagra in front of him.

He, too, was shocked.

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

Hank kept searching the bag. "You bought seven boxes? Planning to consume them like candy?"

Caden's expression darkened.

Taking a deep breath, he gestured towards the cabinet beside him.

"Put them in there and lock it."

Hank expressed deep concern. "Ciara was clear that you shouldn't take random medications. Can you tell me how long you've been using them? How much have you taken? How are you feeling now?"

Before Caden could reply, a thought struck Hank. “Wait, is this why you were watching those videos in the car earlier? Did you overdo it and lose control?"

Caden's response was icy. "If I couldn't control myself, you'd be the first to find out."

Hank remained silent, picturing the scenario and quickly composed himself.

He dutifully secured the medication in the private cabinet.

Caden then texted Alicia. “Who taught you to thank people in such a manner?"

Alicia responded, "Isn't it necessary?"
