The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 718:

Alicia’s heart twisted in confusion. Did he really trust her? Then why did his voice sound so strained, so heavy with an unspoken burden? She didn’t resent him for his doubt.

“Please, Caden. Just let me get the checkup.”

But his response remained the same.

“It’s unnecessary.” Her remaining strength ebbed away, and she let her eyes close, the weight of the moment pressing down on her.

Caden’s trust didn’t bring her relief. Instead, it suffocated her, like an unseen force tightening around her chest.

Caden didn’t leave right away. He stayed by Alicia’s side until she drifted off, watching her features soften as sleep took hold. Only then did he close his own eyes, but exhaustion gnawed at him relentlessly. He was drained. After days and nights of constant work, he had barely slept for half an hour over the past 48 hours. Even a man of steel would falter under such pressure. But sleep wouldn’t come. Whether his eyes were open or shut, the scene at the hotel haunted him, replaying in excruciating detail. Each thought sent a sharp pain through his chest.

Once he was sure Alicia was asleep, Caden stepped out of the room and found Hank waiting in the hallway.

Hank lowered his voice.
