Chapter 52:

Hank continued to rummage through the bag. “You bought seven boxes? Are you planning to consume them like candy?” Caden's expression darkened.

Taking a deep breath, he pointed to the cupboard beside him. “Put them there and close it.”

Hank's concern was palpable. “Ciara was clear about not taking random medications. Can you tell me how long you've been taking them? How many have you taken? How are you feeling now?”

Before Caden could respond, a thought struck Hank. “Wait, is this why you were watching those videos in the car earlier? Did you get carried away and lose control?”

Caden's response was cold. "If I couldn't control myself, you'd be the first to know."

Hank was silent, imagining the scenario, and quickly recomposed himself. He carefully put the medication away in the private locker.

Caden then sent a message to Alice: “Who taught you to say thank you like that?”

Alice replied: "Isn't that necessary?"

This left Caden both amused and frustrated.

Shortly after, Alice asked, “Did I fall short?” She added, “They're pretty expensive: $180 each. You only bandaged my arm. Isn’t that enough?”

Caden scoffed. “Thanks for giving me over a thousand.”
