The Unwanted Wife's Unexpected Comeback - Chapter 785

Chapter 785:

One morning, the center staff found him sitting outside, weary but unmoving. Startled, one of them called an ambulance, fearing something had happened to him. Caden was unharmed, and he refused to leave. He swallowed his pride and begged the staff to find a way to persuade Alicia to meet him.

The staff, sympathetic yet cautious, explained that Alicia had firmly instructed them not to let anyone in. As both were valued clients, they couldn’t risk offending either, so they pretended not to notice Caden’s presence, leaving him to figure things out on his own.

Caden didn’t press them further; he simply returned every day without fail. Each time, he came with gifts — food, supplies, and little things he thought might cheer her up — and asked the caregivers to bring them to Alicia. Alicia accepted the items but gave no response in return.

Caden had prepared himself for her silence, yet he couldn’t shake the emptiness inside as he stood at the entrance, gazing longingly toward her room.

He could have used his influence to see her, but he felt he no longer deserved that privilege.

After some time, Caden thought of the company and checked his phone. As expected, the screen was filled with missed calls. Hank understood that Caden was struggling, but business was business — it had been over ten days since Caden last stepped foot in the office, and the company was suffering losses.

With a sigh, Caden put his phone away, pressed his lips together, and transferred a substantial sum of money to the center’s manager. The manager shook his head sympathetically.

“Mr. Ward, it won’t make a difference.”

Caden looked at the manager, his expression tense.

“I just want to see her recent medical reports,” he said quietly.

The manager blinked in surprise. He had been working in the care center for years and dealt with many men, but there was something different about Caden. After a moment, the manager handed back the money.

“I’ll have the report sent over immediately, Mr. Ward. We won’t be accepting this payment.”

Caden swallowed, visibly relieved.

“Thank you. And… could you send me details of her daily routine — her meals, sleep schedule, everything?”

The manager nodded in understanding.

After carefully reviewing Alicia’s health report, Caden finally felt a measure of peace and left the center. Once Caden’s car disappeared down the road, a nearby car rolled down its window. Corey stepped out, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.

One of his bodyguards, watching him closely, asked in a low voice, “Mr. Hampton, are you… wary of him?” They had been waiting in the car for nearly half an hour.

Corey’s gaze drifted to the entrance where Caden had been minutes before. He’d stayed in his car, waiting until the coast was clear. He zipped up his jacket, the crisp white of his attire contrasting sharply with Caden’s dark, brooding presence earlier.
