“Don’t bully Alicia, Corey.”

“I’d have to have the upper hand to bully her,” Corey muttered under his breath.

His sister, his company, his lifeline—Alicia held it all in her hands. How could he possibly bully her?

Meanwhile, Alicia, just putting on a show of drinking water, had completely forgotten about the wound on her lip. She instinctively winced when the warm water made contact with it.

Still feeling on edge, she retreated to her room and tried to find comfort in solitude. But unfortunately, that single passionate kiss lingered in her mind for days.

Even her dreams were filled with Caden’s bloodshot eyes, full of longing, resentment, and a terrifying depth of possessiveness. She had thought that he would drag her back home, forcing her to endure his endless torment. But the days that followed were surprisingly uneventful. Bit by bit, Alicia let her worries slip away.

Caden had probably just acted on a whim.

No sooner had she settled into this thought than the universe dropped a bombshell on her. She received a call from the hospital’s project manager, urgently requesting her presence to resolve a complicated situation.

A year ago, Alicia launched a groundbreaking maternal and neonatal healthcare project, aiming to revolutionize traditional methods and give a new chance at life to infants born outside the womb. It had been a daunting journey, demanding an immense investment of time, money, and dedication. Alicia spent countless days and nights meticulously researching, pouring her heart into the process. At last, she was beginning to see promising signs of success.

With a sense of urgency, she rushed to the hospital, throwing open the door.

“Has the experiment gone wrong again? How many have failed this time?” Without waiting for a response, she moved directly to check the data.

To her surprise, everything seemed normal. The experimental animals showed promising signs of life. She exhaled, feeling the weight lift off her shoulders.

A doctor gestured toward a chair.

“Ms. Bennett, please sit down.”

But Alicia was too anxious to sit. The voice on the phone had been thick with worry, hinting that something serious had happened.

“Please, just give it to me straight — what’s the issue?” she pressed.

The researchers exchanged uneasy glances. Finally, the lead researcher stepped forward and said, “Ms. Bennett, we can’t continue the experiments for you anymore.”

Alicia’s heart skipped a beat. This was the hardest setback to swallow out of all the possibilities she had imagined.

“Why not?” she asked.

The lead researcher looked down, visibly torn.

“Mr. Ward from Warrington sent his people to make us an offer. He wants us to join his hospital.”

Alicia couldn’t help but narrow her eyes at the mention of Caden’s name.

Caden? It was Caden again!
