Chapter 145:

The doctor was momentarily taken back.

The voice on the other end sounded remarkably young. “Could he really be Alice’s father?” the doctor wondered.

His instinct warned him of potential danger and he proceeded with caution. He managed to say, “Hello, Mr. Bennett. How is Mrs. Bennett’s foot now?”

Caden replied coldly, “Were you the one who treated his foot yesterday?”

"Yes," the doctor confirmed.

Alice's beauty was undeniable. Although the doctor knew it was unlikely that he would ever win her affections, he felt inclined to try.

Caden, recognizing the doctor's intentions, replied flatly, "She's perfectly fine."

Taking a risk, the doctor asked, "Mr. Bennett, may I call Mrs. Bennett later? Since she is well, I would like to invite her to dinner."

Caden paused briefly. His irritation turned to amusement, and he let out a laugh. “What do you think?”

The doctor quickly added, “I know it's late, but please don't worry, Mr. Bennett, I promise I'll get you home safely after dinner!”

He continued: “I had intended to call earlier, but Mrs Bennett was recovering from a head injury last night in the hospital and needed to rest this morning. “I didn’t want to disturb her.”

Caden's anger subsided slightly. I have remembered Alicia's aversion to hospitals. After the order the night before, she had gone to the emergency room alone and had been deeply shaken. Then she had returned home only to face her reproach.

Caden swallowed and ended the call.
