Chapter 932:
Gerry chuckled, his tone teasing. “Trust me, there are plenty of women worrying about him, but he’s already spoken for.”
Gerry ushered the nurse out with a reassuring smile, his voice trailing off as they disappeared down the hall.
Moments later, Gerry returned, a mischievous grin on his face. He leaned casually against the doorframe, addressing Caden, “You know, her skin is pretty soft. Have you ever touched it?”
Leaning against the headboard, Caden replied with a tone of indifference, “I don’t remember.”
Gerry’s eyes widened in surprise. “You don’t remember? So, you’ve actually touched her? Did anything else happen?”
Caden shot him an annoyed look. “You should leave, too.”
Cliff, who had been observing quietly, found the interaction curious. Caden usually kept a clear distance from any woman interested in him. It was strange that this nurse had lingered for so long.
Curiosity piqued, Cliff asked, “Are you really interested in that nurse, Caden?”
Caden’s gaze turned icy as he shot Cliff a look. “My meals need to be specially prepared. The hospital assigned her to cook for me.”
Cliff smirked, leaning back in his chair. “You don’t have your own chefs to handle that?”
“It’s not about that,” Caden said coolly. “Her cooking is very similar to Alicia’s.” The meals delivered over the past half-month had an uncanny resemblance to Alicia’s cooking. But the latest meal before he set off to Xada had been slightly off.
Gerry, who had tasted Alicia’s cooking before, perked up when he heard the nurse’s cooking was similar. Intrigued, he decided to stay for lunch and see for himself.
But the nurse had her principles. She only cooked for Caden and ordered takeout for the Hopkins brothers.
Before the meal began, Caden picked up his phone and tried calling Alicia again. The line was dead. His expression darkened. She was still angry. The realization drained what little appetite he had.
The nurse noticed his mood and hesitated for a moment before stepping closer. Her voice was soft, almost timid. “Mr. Ward, shall I feed you?”
She picked up a small piece of food with the fork and held it to his mouth.
Seizing the opportunity, Gerry snapped a photo.
Caden was about to reject her offer, but upon seeing Gerry’s eager actions, he resignedly opened his mouth and accepted the bite. His face contorted with displeasure. “Please stop. This tastes awful.”
The nurse’s face fell, and she bit her lip, clearly upset. Frowning, Caden confronted her. “Did you actually prepare the previous meals yourself?”noveldrama
The nurse’s eyes widened briefly, panic flickering across her face. She quickly lowered her head, trying to compose herself. “Of course, Mr. Caden,” she whispered. With a detached tone, Caden commanded, “Please clean up and leave. And don’t come back.”
