Chapter: 274

Caden's expression was tense. There was an uncomfortable sensation crawling inside him.

"Get off me."

Alicia raised her face slowly.

Though she had felt shame before, at that moment, she surrendered completely. “Go ahead and scold me. I won't say a word in response."

Caden had lost the urge to scold her.

Right now, he wanted to kill.

Shoving Alicia away, he called for Hank to bring a change of clothes.

Hank arrived in no time.

Alicia showered in the bathroom while Caden loomed at the door, his expression resembling that of someone ready to unleash fury on the world.

His presence was undeniably menacing.

Hank quickly noticed the wet patches on Caden's suit pants.

With the sound of the shower echoing inside, Hank connected the dots.

“Mr. Ward, here are your clothes."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "I heard Ms. Bennett was seriously injured. You should hold back for a while, no matter how strong your desire is."

It wasn't considerate to leave her to shower alone.

Mr. Ward needed to exhibit more gentlemanly behavior.

Caden was in no mood for jokes. In a stern voice, he replied, “Can you act normal for once?"

Hank said, “There's no need to deny it. I've seen plenty of scenes like this in adult films."

He flashed Caden a thumbs-up and continued, “Kudos! You managed to pull this off right after losing your virginity. You're quite the talent."

Caden's expression darkened, becoming increasingly menacing. "Do you want to end up sleeping in the morgue tonight?"

Hank was rendered speechless.

“Why is the boss being so sensitive? I never knew he'd easily get embarrassed like this," he thought to himself.

Seconds later, Alicia went out of the bathroom, wearing a completely different hospital gown.

Alicia didn't dare meet Caden's gaze. Instead, she focused on the floor. "It's your turn to shower. There aren't any toiletries, so you'll have to make do with the hospital's hand soap."

Caden remained silent.

Caden's expression was grim.

Noticing that, Alicia felt a pang of guilt. Without even knowing it, she had caused him some deep-seated trauma. "Why don't we look for the nearest hotel and get a room, so you can wash up?"

He scowled at her. "Do you really expect me to get in the car and drive when I'm this filthy?"

Alicia didn't know how to respond to that. She knew she was at fault here. She was in no position to argue, no matter how pissy Caden got.

“ALL right, how about I go buy you some body wash?" she suggested.
