NovelEnglishChapter 520: Jasmine didn't hide anything when she saw the worry in his expression.
"It was a sudden stroke," she said, sensing his unease.
"It happened this morning.
She was taken to the hospital and woke up an hour ago.
She didn't want to stay there, so we brought her home.
The doctor says she will recover with time, so try not to worry too much." Only when he heard this did Caden open the bedroom door.
Memories of the day he lost his mother flooded back.
He had stormed into the delivery room then, only to be met with a harrowing scene.
He couldn't bear for history to repeat itself.
Inside the master bedroom, Ciara lay on the large bed, her breathing shallow but steady.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaden didn't disturb her.
He only glanced at her vitals before quietly leaving the room.
Alicia, who was waiting for him outside, looked at him with eyes full of concern.
"How is she?" she asked softly.
"She's okay," he replied.
"The stroke was triggered by high blood pressure.
Thankfully, it wasn't severe.
She just needs tand rest to get back on her feet." Alicia let out a sigh, her relief fleeting as tension still hung heavily in the room, like a dense fog.
Under Caden's unyielding gaze, Jasmine understood and reluctantly handed him the video.
Caden barely glanced at the screen before Alicia took over, quickly setting the laptop up to trace the video's IP address.
"Who sent this?" Caden asked Jasmine.
Jasmine replied, "It was anonymous.
When Ciara had her stroke, we all rushed her to the hospital.
I didn't think to ask anyone to keep an eye on things." A few keystrokes later, Alicia's voice cut through the silence. "This IP address traces back to Corey's company." Without hesitation, Caden turned and headed for the stairs.
Jasmine called after him, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Mr.
Ward, wait! There is something else you need to know.
Your mother's brother has just returned from overseas.
He has been looking for you." However, Caden didn't look back.
He walked out the door without a second glance.
Alicia quickened her pace to keep up with Caden, determined to prevent him from acting impulsively. Surprisingly, Caden seemed calm.
Though his movements were swift and slightly forceful, his expression remained cautious and reserved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It was Corey who toldabout the incident with the mannequins.
He claims to know who did it." Alicia's eyes flickered.
She had suspected as much.
She glanced at Caden, knowing he probably shared her suspicions.
He likely couldn't bring himself to believe it, which is why he felt the need to verify the truth himself. "The IP address is from Corey's company," Alicia pointed out.
"Do you think it could be him?"
"I've been abroad for so long, but he hasn't made a move" Caden Said, his He voice steady. "I know he was waiting for my return to negotiate the terms with me.
So why would he pull this kind of stunt all of a sudden?" Gaden's m expression darkened as he shifted into his cold, domineering self. "He's trying to take the fall for someone else and let the true culprit escape." Alicia felt the weight in her chest grow heavier as they passed under the streetlights.
If it were just Corey, she was confident that Caden could handle the situation.
But what if Dorian was involved?
