The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 314:

Caden’s eyes darkened, filled with swirling emotion.

“Alicia.”

She interrupted him softly, “There’s no need for more words.

You’re the high and mighty Mr.

Ward.

Why should you tarnish your pride for me?”

Caden tightened his grip on her wrist, pulling her gaze to meet his.

“Do you really want it to end like this?”

An extended silence filled the hospital room.

Caden’s phone continued to ring, but he ignored it, his gaze fixed firmly on Alicia.

Her eyelashes fluttered as tears streamed down her face.novelbin

“Caden, if I could turn back time, I wish I could go back to the night you returned to the country.

I’d rather face death than have sought you out.”

Caden remained quiet, his grip on her slowly loosening.

“Alright.

As you wish.”

Alicia’s eyes looked even more swollen, but she stubbornly held back her tears, determined not to break down.

He stood, his tone distant.

“Rest well.”

As he exited the room, he paused for a moment.

It felt as if his heart was shattering, and the cold wind in the corridor swept through him, chilling his blood until it nearly froze.

After a long pause, he walked away.

He made his way to the lounge, where only Ciara and Dorian were present.

Noticing the grave expression on Caden’s face, Dorian’s gaze narrowed slightly.

“How is Alicia? Is she doing alright?”

Caden took a seat.

“Her hands and feet are frostbitten, and she’s just gotten over a fever.”

Dorian’s face grew heavy with remorse.

“If Alicia needs anything, just let me know.”

Caden replied, “Is that so? Then let’s go over the details.”

At that, Dorian sensed something was amiss, though he couldn’t find the words to protest.

Only Ciara noticed the change in Caden.

“What’s wrong? Was there a misunderstanding with Alicia?”

Caden hesitated before responding coldly, “No.

Everything’s fine.”

Caden was thorough in the discussion that followed, addressing every single detail.

Two hours slipped by unnoticed.

Then, a sudden knock at the door interrupted the conversation.

Caden’s driver entered, saying, “Mr.

Ward, Miss Moss can’t hold on much longer.”

Dorian reacted with shock.

“What?”

The driver, startled by Dorian’s reaction, quickly clarified, “She’s in a critical state, sir.”

Caden gave a firm instruction, “What are you waiting for? Bring her up for rescue.”
