Chapter 560:

Once seated, Alicia asked about Ciara’s health.

“Much better.

Seeing you here always lifts my spirits,” Ciara replied.

Alicia smiled.

“We’ll come by as often as we can.”

Alicia stayed quiet, holding back her response.

Ciara shot Benedict a displeased look.

“Can’t you hold your tongue at the dinner table?”

Benedict fell silent.

Alicia kept her head down, eating slowly, half hoping Caden would say something for her.
