Chapter 139

Having detected his gaze, Bailey turned toward the stairs and saw Cadence staring at her.

Does he recognize me? He shouldn't be able to. I was wearing a mask when I came into contact with him three years ago. I've never shown him my real face, so he shouldn't know what I look like.

With that in mind, Bailey flashed him a faint smile before retracting her gaze. “It's almost noon, Mrs. Chivers. Let's go see what's available in the kitchen.”

Naturally, Gwendolyn wasn't about to say no to that. “Oh, yes! Eddy tells me your cooking is on par with international chefs. Come on, let's go! I want you to teach me a thing or two!”

Bailey flashed Cadence another smile when she passed him by before entering the kitchen with Gwendolyn.

It'll be too late for regrets, then.”

Although the condition of that end-stage patient he treated was worse than Old Mr. Chivers', the fact that he died on the operating table proves there is something wrong with Cadence's methods.
