Chapter: 619

“I didn't expect this from you. You really are willing to go all out, aren't you?" said Caden.

Yolanda was stunned that he figured it out so easily.

Naturally, she wasn't going to confess. “Caden, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Caden had no desire to waste another moment.

"I won't touch you, Yolanda. You're Dorian's daughter, after all."

Yolanda's lips quivered.

"Caden, what are you saying?"

Although he didn't outright blame her, he still kept her at arm's length.

He wasn't going to let this slide easily.

"Your illness isn't something I can deal with. No matter how things go, I'm sending you back before Christmas," Caden stated.

Yolanda felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.

She felt a deep sense of shame as her plan unraveled before him, but his coldness hurt even more.

Christmas was less than two weeks away, and she could tell that he meant what he said.

What could she possibly achieve in this short time?

She buried her face in the blanket and spoke in a voice full of frustration. "Caden, I could offer you so much. I'm worth so much to you. Why am I still nothing compared to Alicia?"

Caden's voice remained flat. "Value and affection aren't the same."

"Affection?" Yolanda lifted her head with a bitter laugh. "Are you really gonna marry her? Could you even marry someone so full of jealousy?"

Caden's expression hardened.

"Yolanda, if I were to marry you, do you think you would be a suitable wife for me?"

Yolanda was stunned.

She gathered her nerves and asked boldly, “What if I said yes?"

Caden scoffed. "You've got the nerve, but you don't have the ability. Even if Alicia weren't around, you would never become my wife."

At this point, Yolanda had no more words to say.

The weight of his words hit her hard, leaving her unable to respond.

Caden walked out of the ward, and for the next two days, he didn't return to see her.

Yolanda knew better than to stir up any more trouble. She focused on her recovery and requested to go back to Warrington in just a few days.

Once the plane touched down, Caden got into Hank's car by himself.

In those days, he never reached out to Alicia.

The whole situation had drained him mentally, and he closed his eyes, trying not to think about her.

He went straight to his apartment, hoping for nothing more than a shower and a long night of sleep.
