Chapter 230:

The expensive medicine worked its magic.

After two days of applying it, Alice's pain had completely subsided.

Still, Caden was not hasty.

He joked that it felt like being in a candy store but not being able to touch a single piece, though he understood his own strength.

One wrong move could cause a lot of damage, and so he held back.

A few more days wouldn't hurt.

That night they sat together in the small room, half-watching a film projected on the wall, but neither of them was really concentrating on it.

Outside, the rain was falling hard, accompanied by lightning.

Alicia noticed how restless Caden seemed with the storm outside.

She calmly closed the curtains to block out the flashes of light.

Caden was talking on the phone, occasionally answering with a simple, “OK.

” Alicia leaned closer and turned down the volume on the movie.

“Did the money arrive?” Caden asked.

“Okay, thanks.

” The conversation ended.

Alice asked, "What kind of money is so important that it would attract your attention, Mr.

Ward? Are we talking about tens of billions?"

Caden pulled her into his arms, a slight smile on his lips.

“It’s not that much.

Just a little over fifteen million dollars.

Alice sensed his deep concern about money, and her curiosity grew.

“Is the company in trouble?”

Caden replied, “It’s not my money.

It belongs to you.

Alice was momentarily stunned.

“Mine?”

If it really belonged to him, that amount would be a fortune.

“Is this from the product I worked on last time?” His eyes lit up.

“Did I get a bonus?”

Caden replied, “If it was a bonus, it would be a lot bigger than that.
