Menu Chapter 347 How Much Longer Will You Continue to Burden Caden?
When the gun was aimed at Beatrice again, she immediately stood up and took a few steps back. She persuaded, "Ms. Wensel, don't do this, you didn't need to ruin yourself for others." Lacey approached Beatrice with a gun in her hand, her eyes slowly filling with anger. "You can certainly say that! You have Mr. Caden to shield you from everything, and Mr. Soder to comfort you. I only have my mom, and if she has been terrible to me from start to finish, I can give up on her, but she has genuinely protected me too." Beatrice actually understood Lacey's feelings. In a situation where no one could understand, the closer the person, the more they became a lifeline.
How did she try to persuade Lacey to give up?
The next second, the barrel of Lacey's gun was already pressed against Beatrice's forehead.
Beatrice took a deep breath and stared motionlessly at the person in front of her.
Lacey said lightly, "Let me tell you one more thing, he didn't want to tell you about my identity, not to protect me, but to prevent you from getting involved again."
"Having said so much, it can be considered as repaying him for helping me without any grudges, and also thank you for standing in front of me when you treated me to dessert last time. From childhood to now, no one has ever shielded me like that."
Beatrice was stunned.
Although very scared, I still felt sorry for Lacey.
Suddenly, she seemed to see the figure of a man slowly approaching.
It was not until the face became gradually clear that she realized.
He really came.
Caden.
Beatrice's originally frantic heart gradually calmed down, only to surge and completely lose control in an instant.
Caden took advantage of Lacey's unstable emotions and raised the dagger in his hand, spinning it around her wrist, causing blood to drip.
Lacey's hand trembled, and the gun fell to the ground as she was pushed down onto the sofa.
Caden pulled Beatrice and they ran outside.
He did not want to kill Lacey.
But under Xander's control, Lacey had already lost her sanity. Ignoring her bleeding wrist, she scrambled to pick up the gun from the ground and indiscriminately fired at Beatrice.
Beatrice glanced at Caden just now and reached out to push him, but Caden pulled her into his arms. Bang!
Beatrice's body trembled, and the man held her even tighter.
But when she came to her senses, he let go of her.
"You went out first."
The man's heavy breathing fell on Beatrice's ears, and even though he tried to lower his tone, she still sensed something unusual.
She immediately turned her head and saw Caden half kneeling on the ground, his body leaning against the concealed cabinet door, one hand covering his waist, fresh blood dripping onto the cartoon carpet through his

fingers.
The cartoon's smiling face instantly turned blood red and became ferocious.
He, however, said expressionlessly, "It's just a scratch, you wait outside."
Beatrice clenched her fists and really wanted to just leave like that.

But the tears still stubbornly fell, one by one, as I grabbed his arm and tried to help him out.
Caden pushed her away and said coldly, "I said it's fine. She's emotionally broken right now, and I'll cover for you to leave."
Beatrice tightly grasped his arm and said, word by word, "You wouldn't lie either."
His black eyes slightly wrinkled, and his lips curled into a pale faint smile.
Beatrice heard the approaching footsteps and took out the grocery folding cart that Audrey had left with her from the cabinet.
Caden immediately raised his hand to signal her not to rush to take action, and then silently raised his finger to count down.
When the count reached one, Beatrice swung the car out from behind the cabinet door.
The already injured Lacey was completely defenseless and was hit hard, falling to the ground.
Beatrice quickly helped Caden up and ran out, forcefully closing the door.
After
entering the elevator, Beatrice
finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
She turned her head to check Caden's injuries and met his gaze.
Under the white light, his face was pale like cold jade, with scattered hair hanging down on his forehead, appearing lonely and fragile.
He raised his hand towards Beatrice's cheek, but before he could touch her, his hand seemed to lose its strength and dropped heavily.
The whole person collapsed onto Beatrice's shoulder.
Beatrice trembled as she embraced him tightly, "Wake up, don't die, we haven't settled our accounts yet..."
Ding! The elevator door opened.
Keith was leading people to come in when he saw the bloodstains on the ground. He immediately went forward and supported Caden.
"Where was she?" Keith asked.
"Upstairs," Beatrice looked at her blood-covered hands, and Mumo replied.
"I will handle the rest, go to the hospital first."
Keith gave a signal to the two people behind him.
The two of them quickly entered the elevator and went upstairs.
Hospital.
Beatrice stood
in
the
corridor, distraught, with

blood clinging tightly
to her
skin.
Keith handed over a wet tissue.
"Ms. Lindsey, wipe it off."noveldrama
"Thank you."
Beatrice's voice was hollow as she mechanically wiped the blood off her hands, keeping her head down.

Keith stared at her, hesitated, and said, "Mr. Caden was downstairs all along, and when he saw the medicine box you dropped, he knew something was wrong with you. He was afraid that if too many people went upstairs, it would alert the enemy, so he went upstairs alone."
Beatrice still kept her head down. but her vision Was becoming increasingly blurry.
She saw the notice issued by the property management yesterday,
These days, the workers downstairs have been maintaining the lawn, so residents are prohibited from throwing objects from high places. Otherwise, they will be held accountable.
Beatrice deliberately found an empty box and threw it out of the window while it
The workers saw it and would definitely inform the property management. As long as the property management came upstairs, she would still have a glimmer of hope.
But what she didn't expect was that the worker, following the principle of "better to do less than more," threw the medicine box aside.
Caden saw the words written by Beatrice above and concluded that she would never throw things from a high place if nothing was wrong,
Keith looked at her for a long time without saying a word, his brows furrowed, feeling somewhat indignant. "This is the second bullet he took for you! Don't you have anything to say?"
Beatrice looked up, tears streaming down her face. "So tell me, why did he save me? And why can he marry someone else without a care in the world?"
Keith clenched his fist, some words remained unspoken.
A moment later, Beatrice wiped
away her away
tears and calmly asked, "Where is Ms. Wensel?"
Keith pursed his lips and truthfully said, "Someone is keeping watch, waiting for Mr. Caden to wake up before making a decision."
Beatrice nodded.
The two of them had just finished talking, and Brend walked out of the operating room.
He pinched the corner of his eye and, feeling a bit tired, looked at Beatrice's unpleasant complexion. He comforted her, "He's fine now. If it's any cheaper, we'll eat here."
Beatrice knew that Brend was intentionally teasing her.
She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to choke up.
Brenda patted her shoulder understandingly and said, "He came out, you can take him to the ward."
As the words fell, Caden was pushed out by someone.
Beatrice reached out her hand, about to touch the person in front of her, when her body was suddenly pushed aside by an unexpected collision.
"Mr. Caden! Mr. Caden! How are you?"
Bella came.
She looked at Beatrice resentfully, then burst into tears and tightly held Caden's hand. The wedding rings
on their hands were shining brightly.
Beatrice turned her face to the side and kept stepping back.
Finally, II arrived at the ward,
ward, but I was stopped by a strange bodyguard at the door.
"Ms. Lindsey, Sir Baldwin requests your presence."
Beatrice managed to evade the bodyguard, but as soon as she turned around, she was mercilessly
dragged into the adjacent ward.
She was pushed into the ward by someone.

In a room filled with disinfectant, Xander stood by the windowsill, with his hands behind his back, wearing
a cold and serious expression on his face.
Beatrice stood up straight and looked directly at Xander.
She thought he would say that she was lucky and hard to kill.
To her surprise, he said only a few words, leaving her speechless.
"Beatrice, how much longer are you going to burden Caden?"
