The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 25:

Joshua remained calm and collected. “Alicia, you know what I want.”

“Not really,” Alicia replied. “Since you’re in the hospital, maybe you should consider getting a mental health evaluation.” And she ended the call.

Joshua didn't call back.

After taking a moment to compose herself, Alicia turned to Caden. “Your father is seriously ill.”

Caden remained silent for a moment, his expression unreadable.

Then he pulled out his phone and made a call. His instructions were clear. “Do whatever it takes to keep him alive.”

Alicia’s eyes flickered briefly in surprise. She'd heard rumors that Caden and Jerald had never gotten along. Given how unforgiving Caden could be, she figured he wouldn't care at this point.

It seemed that he still had some regard for the family… or perhaps it was more a matter of securing the inheritance. Alice preferred not to ask any more questions or to think about it any further.

After a brief pause, she made her position clear. “I have divorced Joshua. “I will not help him any more.” This also meant that she would not oppose Caden. She had no intention of getting involved with anyone.

Caden's eyes lost their coldness as he looked at her. “You give up so quickly?”

Alice nodded in response.

Caden seemed intrigued. “With your personality, I was hoping you would turn Joshua’s world upside down.”

Alice felt a sharp pain in her chest, followed by overwhelming fatigue. She opened the window slightly to let in some fresh air. The wind stung her eyes. “I don't have the strength to fight it, and I don't need to.”

His words came out firmly, but his voice was so soft that even an outsider could sense the lingering emotion and attachment.
