It was then that Alice realized that her apartment was flooded.

“Could it really be a burst pipe?” she muttered in disbelief. “That was just the excuse I used to get out of the doctor’s office today.”

Caden remembered the landlord's angry voice and frowned slightly. “I’ll go with you.”

Alice looked at the time. It was late, and she was comforted by the idea of ​​having someone with her. She agreed.

When they arrived at their rental apartment, Caden took charge. He pushed the landlord and downstairs neighbors aside, leaving room for Alice to go inside and assess the damage. I found the shutoff valve and turned it off. Then he quickly called a repairman to come fix the problem. When he was done, Alice walked out to find the landlord and neighbors gone.

Caden approached her calmly. “The compensation has been deducted from your deposit. You should start looking for another place to live. Buildings this old aren’t safe.”

Alicia agreed with her assessment. It was time for a change.

Things were different now. Alicia could no longer handle everything alone like before. Now that she had partnered with Caden, she needed to make sure that her personal safety was guaranteed.

Caden looked at her, clearly displeased. “Everything is flooded, and you still want to keep all this?”

Alice replied calmly: “Some of these objects are very important to me.”

He grabbed a bag and started putting away small items from his drawer.

Many of them were old, but well preserved. It was obvious that Alice cherished each one, keeping them tidy and clean despite their age.

He moved efficiently, packing his belongings quickly. It didn't take long for him to fill a large bag.
