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?”

Alice replied: "Isn't that necessary?"
