Chapter: 297
Hank wasn't sure how to react.
Despite the dismissive response, Hank soon perked up and continued with his duties.
“Mrs. Ward has rescheduled her visit to Warrington for next month. I have shortlisted a few houses and bodyguards for her. Would you Like to make the final decision?" Hank reported.
Caden gave him a nod in response.
The thought of Ciara arriving was less than comforting. She could be unpredictable, and just considering her upcoming visit was already giving him a headache.
During that time, Alicia followed the doctor's instructions carefully.
She took her medications on time and received all her treatments.
After a week, she was finally ready to leave the hospital.
Monica arrived to help with the discharge paperwork.
In the meantime, Alicia and Caden had come to an agreement, and she had successfully gathered solid proof of Joshua's affair during their marriage.
Lately, Joshua hadn't reached out to her. He had been busy managing the public Listing of his company and dealing with Lilliana's return to the spotlight.
Lilliana was busy building an image of herself as an expectant mother, crafting a more sentimental persona for her public presence.
With financial backing, she was already making progress on this new approach.
Monica sneered at the news. "So, the lip-syncing scandal just vanished? The internet really does forget quickly."
Alicia stood in line, scrolling through her phone with a calm expression.
"Showbiz made her what she is now, and it'll tear her down just as quickly. We just need to be patient," she replied.
The more evidence she gathered, the greater Lilliana's fall would be.
Alicia put her phone away and took out her bank card, ready to settle her medical bills.
Suddenly, a desperate voice cut through the noise of the hospital.
"Please, doctor! I'm begging you to save my sister. I swear I'1L find the money in three days. Just help her now, I beg you."
Alicia turned towards the commotion.
A young woman was clinging to a doctor's white coat, her expression filled with despair. The doctor looked equally helpless. "I'm really sorry, but her medical expenses are substantial. I can't cover them for you," he explained.
“Please, perform the surgery first! I promise to pay the bills gradually afterward, please! I beg of you!"
The woman pleaded desperately, dropping to her knees and clinging to the doctor's leg.
The doctor sighed, unable to offer much comfort.
A crowd had gathered. Some watched with curiosity, others were indifferent, and a few looked genuinely sympathetic.
Alicia frowned at the scene and began walking toward the distressed woman.
Monica grabbed her arm. “Alicia, are you really going to help?"
Alicia replied, "I think she looks familiar. I want to see what's going on."
Monica hesitated for a moment but seemed moved by the woman's desperate cries. "Alright, I'll come with you."
