Chapter 73:

Caden stared back, his expression blank and void of emotion. Gerry, interpreting Caden’s calm as confirmation of his suspicions, shouted excitedly, “When did this start? Is it in the early or late stages?”

Caden remained silent, resisting the urge to start a conversation. Why bother talking to a moron?

The doctor, for his part, pressed his fingers harder against Caden's wrist, frowning in concentration. “I assumed your pale complexion was due to general weakness, but it seems you’re under significant stress.”

Gerry breathed a sigh of relief, glad to know that this was not a fatal disease.

Without wasting a second, the doctor asked, “Is your sex life normal?”

His tone was so casual it seemed like he was commenting on the weather.

Caden replied just as coldly. "Forks."

Gerry's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Had I heard wrong?

Hank, standing nearby, looked equally stunned. Caden? A normal sex life? Since when?

The doctor's fingers twitched slightly, a shadow of skepticism crossing his face. “How often?”

Caden glanced in Alicia's direction, a small, almost imperceptible smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “At least once a day.”

Alice's heart sank. Once a day? she thought, her mind racing. Why is he looking at me like that? I'm not part of this equation!

Finally, the doctor released Caden's wrist, his expression unreadable.

Gerry, ever curious, continued, “So what’s wrong, Doctor?”

The doctor sighed. “You're not being entirely honest, so I can't give an accurate diagnosis. The last time I felt a pulse like that, it was from someone who had never been intimate with anyone.”
