Chapter: 655

"Did you see how upset Caden looked?"

Dorian had indeed noticed it.

The situation had intensified.

This was not going to be resolved easily.

Alicia was in a dire state when Caden rushed her to the hospital, suffering from severe frostbite and unconsciousness.

The doctor admonished him as they examined her. "She's been feverish for hours, exposed to the cold! Young people really need to take better care of each other."

Caden remembered how frail she had appeared back at the apartment.

He hadn't realized it at the time.

She had mustered her strength, while sick, to offer an apology to a rival, only to endure such harsh treatment.

His heart was heavy with sorrow.

After admitting her to the hospital, she was swiftly taken to a ward.

Ointment was applied to treat her condition, and gradually, her fever began to decrease.

She was still unconscious.

Caden took a seat beside her, gently taking her hand in his.

His phone buzzed with incoming messages on the table next to him.

Looking at the screen, he noticed messages from the veterinarian.

Upon unlocking his phone, he was confronted with detailed images of injuries.

The images were graphic, displaying swollen, bloodied wounds.

Caden scowled as he scrolled through the photos.

A particularly shocking image showed Cade's neck, nearly severed-an appalling sight.

For a moment, Caden held his breath.

Had Yolanda been responsible for this?

Alicia had slept through the entire night.

When she woke up, her fever had finally subsided. During the doctor's morning rounds, he explained her condition to her.

“From now on, you need to be more careful. Gentleness and caution during intimate moments are important for your health. The fever was caused by an inflamed wound that didn't heal properly. It's not a serious issue, but roughness in those moments can lead to gynecological problems down the line."

Still feeling groggy, Alicia nodded absentmindedly.

Just then, Caden walked into the room.

After the doctor left, he took a seat beside her, setting down breakfast. His face showed faint signs of exhaustion, likely from a sleepless night.

Alicia shut her eyes with a blank expression.

“Caden, I don't want to see you right now."
