Chapter 228:

Alice's throat was cut, but the wound was not serious.

After two days of rest, only a faint pink scar remained.

Her skin was still sensitive.

Caden pressed his lips against the scar.

His kiss was soft, deliberate, and almost playful.

The warmth of his mouth seemed to carry some kind of magic, slowly dissolving Alicia’s defenses until her resistance vanished.

Before long, she found herself clutching his shirt, torn between pulling away and wanting more.

Caden took that moment to deepen the kiss, becoming more demanding, seeking more with each passing moment.

Alice put her arms around his neck, her hands slowly moving up until her fingers tangled in his hair, lightly brushing the wound on the back of his neck.

Caden loosened his grip a little.

“It doesn’t hurt,” he said, pulling her closer again.

Their heartbeats began to sync up, as if their hearts were beating in unison.

Alice felt tears welling up inside her.

“Thank you, Caden,” she murmured sincerely.

He had saved her again.

When Joshua had her, she had given up on everything, even the will to survive.

She was ready to die.

But the moment Caden showed up, relief washed over her, and for the first time, she truly believed things would be okay.

Caden grabbed her face and their noses almost touched.

“If I hadn’t gotten here in time, did you have a plan?”

Alice shook her head.

“I didn’t have it.

Caden’s expression darkened.

“When you were unconscious, I asked Cliff what happened.

Alice nodded.
