Chapter: 304
She buttoned her clothes firmly, keeping them out of his sight.
"Obviously. Anyone who sees them would think so."
Caden looked up. "Including Joshua?"
Caden's expression hardened.
Alicia paused for a moment, then explained, "When I was in college, I went for a medical check-up, and the doctor complimented me during the breast exam."
"A male doctor?" Caden asked.
“Of course not. That would be inappropriate, don't you think?" Alicia responded.
Caden's expression seemed to relax a bit.
She adjusted her clothes and began recounting the day's events with a serious tone.
"Should I help Gina? What do you think?" she asked.
Caden appreciated that she asked for his opinion. It made him feel she relied on him.
"Do you want to help her?" he asked.
"Yes," Alicia said, making it obvious that she sympathized with Gina.
"Harley is the only family she has. It's really sad."
"Then help her," Caden replied. "She's a better choice than Rachel anyway."
Alicia let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
"I should head to the hospital. Harley is still waiting for surgery," she said. "I'll cover the costs. You handle Randolph and get him to talk."
As she tried to get up, Caden pulled her back.
He guided her hand somewhere dangerous.
“When are you planning to take care of this?" he asked.
Alicia quickly pulled her hand away, feeling the heat of his demand.
"We'll see," she replied. Because it was broad daylight, she wasn't in the mood to do it. "Take fewer medications, and try to get some proper rest."
Caden had no response.
With Harley's life at risk, Alicia didn't waste any more time. She left immediately to find Gina.
To keep her identity hidden from Lilliana's people, she had Caden create a fake philanthropist persona to donate the funds for Harley's surgery.
Alicia didn't show up.
She stayed at the hospital during the entire surgery, though she didn't make her presence known.
When night finally fell, the surgery ended, and Harley was wheeled out.
Gina hurried over. "Doctor, how is Harley?"
“Fortunately, the surgery was performed in time. She's out of danger,” the doctor stated.
