Chapter 306:
His stare intensified.
“Where’s Alicia?”
At his question, Yolanda instinctively bit her lip and looked down.
Without another word, Caden headed upstairs.
As Dorian returned with the medication, he noted Caden’s abrupt departure and frowned.
“What’s happening?”
Yolanda, looking unsteady, remained silent.
She mused over her actions.
It was merely a bit of cold wind, trivial and not worth fussing over.
So naturally, Caden wouldn’t fuss either.
Moreover, Dorian and Regina were there to support her.
However, when Caden flung open the balcony door, the sight that met him was gut-wrenching.
Alicia was visibly suffering from the cold, her face a ghastly shade of purple, and her soaked clothes had stiffened, cutting into her skin like shards of ice.
Caden hurriedly brought her inside, removed her frozen clothes, and wrapped her in his coat.
Alicia was alert but immobile, her thoughts foggy as he cradled her in his embrace.novelbin
Bare-chested, Caden pressed her close, his body warmth trying to revive her.
Soon, the chill in her body began to recede, but Alicia didn’t stir much.
Her gaze was downcast, her eyes reddened with distress.
Caden touched her fevered forehead, his tone tinged with irritation.
“Where’s your fiery defiance now? You let Yolanda trample over you just like that?”
Her eyelashes fluttered faintly.
Weakly, she placed a hand on Caden’s chest, attempting to push him away but failing due to her exhaustion.
In a whisper, she said, “Who can I stand against… Caden, crossing the Moss family means losing my gallery.
Can I really afford to stand strong?”
A mocking smile crept onto her lips.
“So, is Yolanda satisfied now? What about you?”
Her eyes closed gently, overwhelmed by weakness and the piercing cold that made her tremble uncontrollably.
Caden then carried her downstairs.
The three below were visibly shocked at the sight.
As Alicia’s remaining strength ebbed away, she collapsed into unconsciousness in Caden’s arms.
Her appearance briefly flashed before Regina, who had never bothered to look Alicia up online.
Now, faced with Alicia’s distressing state, Regina felt an odd constriction in her chest, compelling her to follow them without a second thought.
“What happened?” Regina inquired softly.
