Chapter 45:

As Caden waited for the elevator, his phone buzzed with a call from Hank.

"Mr. Ward, your father's condition has stabilized. The Yates family has completed his discharge and plans to return him to Yates Mansion for recovery," Hank reported.

Caden took a long drag on his cigarette. “Let them deal with him however they want. It’s none of our business.”

Hank looked surprised. “Aren’t you going to keep an eye on him?”

"I'm not going to do it," Caden replied.

“Should we postpone our planned operation then?” Hank asked.

"Yeah."

Hank couldn't help but feel confused by Caden's recent behavior. Something seemed different about him lately.

In the past, no matter what was going on, Caden always followed through on every last detail of his plans, never losing focus. Now, it seemed like his mind was somewhere else.

“Should we keep an eye on the Yates family?” Hank asked.

“Take care of it. I have other things to take care of,” Caden replied.

"Mr. Ward, if there's anything to be done, leave it to me," Hank said.

Caden chuckled, the smoke making his voice sound hoarser.

"This is not something a guy like you can handle," he said.

Curiosity got the better of Hank. “What's wrong, Mr. Ward? Why are you keeping this a secret?”

"It's a medical concern," Caden said.

Hank looked surprised. “But hasn’t he been taking medication all this time?”

“I was, but I stopped because it wasn't working,” Caden replied.

Just then, a family of three approached.
