Chapter 225:

Alice labored under the mistaken belief that they had already perished.

Despite this belief, she found herself unable to ask Caden, “Is that all? Don’t you like anything else about me?”

His previous words had been so harsh that she couldn't bear to hear them again.

Exhausted, her eyelids grew heavy and sleep began to take over.

She knew that falling asleep now could mean starting a new life, one in which she would forget Caden and everyone she had ever met in this one.

Although reluctant, there seemed to be no way to resist.

As sleep began to take over, she murmured, “Caden…”

“Yes?” Caden answered instantly, leaning closer, anticipating a confession.

However, her next statement caught him off guard: "I need to go to the bathroom.

"

Caden blinked in surprise.

Alicia continued quietly, “There are bathrooms in hell? Maybe I should just piss right here.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Realizing her urgency, he quickly went over to help her, but it was too late.

Lifting the blanket, he saw that her clothes were already soaked.

A vein throbbed on his forehead as his expression changed from confusion to resignation.

Without saying anything, he pulls out his phone and snaps a photo of the scene.

Suddenly, the door swung open.

The plump, middle-aged owner, who had been her unexpected savior, walked in.

Her eyes widened at the sight.

“My God!” she exclaimed in shock.

Maintaining his composure, Caden calmly replied, “I’m sorry about this.

I’ll take care of it.

The landlady looked at the bed, her face twisted in anguish.
