NovelUpdateChapter 915:
That was when the manager noticed Caden’s unnaturally pale face. “Mr. Ward, are you feeling unwell?”
Caden had consumed too much alcohol. His stomach was numb with discomfort. It wasn’t exactly painful but left
him feeling weak. “Get an ambulance immediately,” he managed to say after a significant pause.
After summoning an ambulance, the manager expressed his concern, “Should we contact your friends or
family?” Caden thought of Alicia. He pressed his lips tight. “No one must know about this.” If Alicia learned of his
excessive drinking, she would be livid. Their relationship was already delicate, and it couldn't bear further
distress. He opted for caution.

Caden’s condition was more critical than he had anticipated. Ultimately, the hospital reached out to the
emergency contact on his phone.
At that time, Alicia was discussing a movie thsong with Gerry. When she received the call, she initially
thought it was one of Caden’s pranks. However, upon arriving at the hospital and receiving a notice of his critical
condition, her mind went blank. The paper felt unbearably heavy in her hands, trembling.
Alicia steadied herself and asked the doctor, “What's his condition now?”
“Severe gastric perforation, currently in surgery. He's in shock due to excessive blood loss, and his life is at risk.
Please sign. Don’t delay,” the doctor said.
Alicia had no legal ties to Caden at the moment, so Gerry signed the papers.
“What's the success rate of the surgery?” Alicia asked, her voice trembling.
The doctor responded professionally, “It’s uncertain. Please wait outside for updates.”
As the doors to the operating room closed again, Alicia felt paralyzed, unable to move. It was Gerry who guided
her to a seat, helping her slowly gather her thoughts.
Taking the opportunity, Gerry asked about the events leading up to Caden’s sudden hospitalization and learned
that Caden had been drinking heavily at a club.
Gerry fell silent, sitting next to Alicia, anxiously fidgeting, not daring to make a sound.

Only when Caden’s personal medical team arrived did the lights in the operating room dim.
The doctor emerged to announce that the surgery had been quite successful. However, Caden’s condition had
deteriorated, necessitating further examination, and he would need to remain hospitalized for observation.
Alicia, still numb from Caden’s critical condition, sat in silence, waiting for her numb body to regain warmth.
Gerry wanted to learn more about Caden’s condition from the doctor, but Alicia stopped him. Her calmness was
unsettling as she softly asked, “How much did he drink?”
Gerry hesitated before answering honestly, “Six bottles.”
Alicia tightened her grip, containing her frustration.
“With whom?” she asked.
