Caden lowered his gaze. He had a drink at Corey’s earlier, and now his stomach was faintly aching.

“If they grew closer over time, I’d understand. As long as, in the end, Alicia returns to me,” Caden murmured.

Gerry gave him a look but chose to ignore it, thinking that it was just Caden’s drunken gibberish.

Corey had been analyzing the robot for a full day and night without success. The reason was that Caden had encrypted all its operations. Despite considerable effort, when Corey finally broke the encryption, he triggered a self-destruct mechanism. The robot immediately powered down and collapsed into a pile of scrap metal.

In frustration, Corey clenched his teeth, ran his fingers through his hair, and leaned forward, elbows on knees, deep in thought.

Upon entering, Alicia’s attention was immediately drawn to the robot arranged with its legs apart at the entrance. Her gaze quickly focused on an anatomical detail resembling male genitalia. Standing at the doorway, Alicia took a moment to absorb the unusual scene.

Turning to Corey, she asked, “Is this your method of relaxation?” Her eyebrow quirked at the odd sight.

Looking up, Corey realized that she had misunderstood.

“This is just Caden’s way of joking around. I brought it back to figure out his technique for such realistic features.”

As Alicia took a seat, she scrutinized the robot again. It initially seemed eerily human, but further observation revealed a realism that almost surpassed actual human likeness. Caden’s talent was something that Alicia had always acknowledged, yet the magnitude of his improvement in two years was unexpectedly significant.

Trying to shift her focus, Alicia changed the subject.

“Did you manage to acquire that machine?”

She was aware of how vital this machine was for Gemma. Alicia had been giving large blood donations to Gemma every two weeks for the past two years. Uncertain about how much longer she could maintain this, Corey needed to secure that machine.

Corey, clearly aware of the urgency, had already made his decision.

“The machine is secured,” he said, his legs crossed.

“However, it won’t arrive for a few months. We can go to the hospital together to test its functionality once spring makes Warrington a bit warmer.”

“Which hospital are we talking about?” Alicia inquired.

With a pause, Corey opted to keep the specifics vague.

“In Greenland.”

Alicia nodded and said, “We should travel in March. It should be warmer then.”

At that time, Greenland was experiencing heavy snowfall, which Alicia had preferred to avoid. During a quiet moment, Corey gazed at her composed profile and asked, “If you encountered Caden again, would you consider reuniting with him?”

Alicia answered promptly, “No.”
