Chapter: 368
It nuzzled into his fingers.
Caden gently covered its eyes. "Mommy's a little shy. Don't stare at her."
After that day, everything went smoothly.
Alicia's abilities were undeniable, and with Caden's support, everything went without a hitch.
In her free time, she often brought gifts when visiting Harley in the hospital.
Harley's recovery after surgery was going well, and Alicia spared no expense. She made sure that Harley had the best care, from Living conditions to medication.
Gina would drop by occasionally, feeling guilty every time she saw the cabinets filled with supplements.
"I haven't contributed much. You shouldn't be spending all this,"
Gina said.
Alicia felt a pang of guilt too.
"Were you thinking of quitting before you agreed to help me?" she asked.
Gina laughed at the idea. "No, I've always been Lilliana's punching bag. She made it clear that if I left, I'd never find another job as an assistant. With Harley's medical bills piling up, I couldn't afford to walk away from a job like this."
When Alicia heard the term “punching bag" and thought about Lilliana's attitude, she realized Gina must have endured so much.
Alicia felt a pang of sympathy for her.
“Once Harley is discharged, you won't have to work this hard anymore,"
Alicia said softly. "When all of this is over, the Green family won't bother you, and you can find a job that truly makes you happy."
Gina glanced at her with a hint of envy.
Alicia felt sorry for her.
It was clear that Alicia's life was in a much better place now.
"Ms. Bennett, my situation isn't your responsibility. You don't need to feel sorry for me. I'm helping you because I want to. Besides, you saved Harley's life. Anything I've done for you is nothing compared to that," Gina said with a soft smile.
Alicia felt her throat tighten as emotion welled up inside her.
"Thank you," Alicia said softly. She then offered more comforting words that seemed to ease Gina's heart.
"I understand, Ms. Bennett," Gina replied with a warm smile.
It was then that she noticed the shopping bag beside Alicia.
She could recognize the logo.
It was from a home goods store she frequently visited for Lilliana's personal items.
A tag dangled from the bag, revealing it contained men's pajamas in a triple XL size.
Gina smiled knowingly. "Ms. Bennett, you should head home. Don't keep your family waiting."
Alicia followed her gaze to the bag and quickly turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She hadn't bought the pajamas specifically for Caden. He just casually mentioned needing new ones last time, so she grabbed a pair while shopping for other things today.
