Chapter 229:

Alice spent a quiet night.

When she woke up the next day around noon, Caden was nowhere to be found.

She quickly got dressed and headed out.

The innkeeper was at the door, accepting a delivery.

Caden stood nearby, dressed in a long black down jacket, looking casual and with one hand in his pocket.

Although the snow had stopped, the wind was still howling fiercely.

Alice wrapped herself up warmly and sat down.

Caden had also received a delivery: several sets of clothes and various necessities.

The innkeeper, seeing the boxes of medicines among the items, raised an eyebrow and said, “These are high-quality medicines.

Who sent them?”

“A friend,” Caden replied bluntly.

“Impressive,” the innkeeper said with a smile.

“They’re not easy to find, even with money.

Are these for your girlfriend?”

“Yes,” Caden replied without hesitation.

Alice was surprised.

She did not correct the innkeeper's assumption.

As Caden turned to carry the packages inside, he noticed Alicia.

She had been in his room for two days and looked paler, visibly thinner.

Her small face looked even more delicate in the cold light.

Caden walked over to her.

“Does your back still hurt?”

Alice hesitated, unsure of how much to say.

“It still hurts,” she replied, trying to hide the pain.

She quickly changed the subject.

“Did you have someone send the medicine?”

Caden raised an eyebrow and casually put the medicine back in his pocket.

Alice watched him with a knowing smile, recognizing the frustration on his face, the fact that she couldn't keep this from him any longer.

“Was it Hank who sent them?” he asked, slowly getting to the point.

“Delivery was pretty quick.

The wind whipped around them, so Caden wrapped his coat around her as they headed back inside.
