Chapter 33:

? ? ? ? ?

Alice woke up to be unceremoniously dumped into the car.

Instinctively she curled up into a ball, her wide, wary eyes scanning the interior of the vehicle.

"Where are we going?" I have asked.

Hank turned to look at her and smiled reassuringly. “It's okay, Miss Bennett. It's just me and Mr. Ward. “You’re allergic to alcohol, so we’ll take you to the hospital right away.”

The mention of a hospital immediately made Alice nervous. "No! Please, can we not go?”

Hank paused, looking to Caden for guidance.

Caden, who was uncomfortable with hospitals, hesitated for a moment. Then his expression remained unreadable as he spoke. “Just stop by a pharmacy, get her some antihistamines, and then take her home.”

Hank agreed and started the car.

The car moved slowly along the road, although it was unable to avoid the sharp turns. With each turn, Alice's head seemed to spin even faster.

When they finally pulled up in front of her apartment, Alicia struggled to keep her eyes open and forced herself out of the car. As soon as her feet hit the ground, her knees buckled and she nearly passed out.

"Mr. Ward," Hank said, unable to bear the sight of her in that state. "Shouldn't we help her up?"

Caden watched Alicia through narrowed eyes as she staggered, swaying with every step.

“He can still walk, right?” Caden said dryly.

“I know Miss Bennett has a stubborn streak, Mr. Ward,” Hank said, “but she’s actually a very nice person.”

"If you're so worried, why don't you help her then?"

Hank felt a pang of unease at Caden's words. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he made no move to get out of the car.
