Chapter 403 Faces Are Deceptive

Heidi’s POV:

Caden hadn’t visited me in days.

Whenever I called, he always said he was busy.

Left with no other choice, I faked a relapse just to get him to come.

He still cares about me–otherwise, why would he rush to the hospital the moment he heard my condition had worsened?

Besides, I’d heard that Rosaline had gone to Yerkshire recently.

Caden hadn’t gone with her–so they really must have had a falling out.

“The doctor said you’ve been improving. Just focus on resting.” A faint smile played on Caden’s lips.

I forced a smile of my own. “Caden, I’m so happy you came to see me.”

But he gently pulled his hand away, his voice lacking warmth. “I have things to take care of, Tessa. I’ll come visit you in a few days.”

Seeing how eager he was to leave, I instinctively reached for his arm, my voice laced with hope. “Caden, can you stay just a little longer?”

Caden hesitated when he saw my weary face, letting out a quiet sigh before staying put.

Hmph, now that Rosaline was out of the picture, I finally had a chance to get closer to him.

Just then, the door swung open, and Wendy walked into the room. She looked straight at Caden and said, “So this is where you’ve been! I just went to your office looking for you, but you weren’t there.”

Caden turned at the sound of her voice, his expression instantly darkening.

“What is it?” Caden asked, his brows knitting together.

“Can we speak outside?” Wendy shot a jealous glance at me as I lay on the hospital bed.

Caden hesitated briefly before giving a nod and following Wendy out of the room.
