GoodNovelChapter 1092:
Corey clenched his jaw and lifted his eyes to meet Caden’s. “I'm asking if Alicia could stay for a couple of days.”
Caden asked sharply, “To do what?”
“To help take care of my sister.”
Caden, though reluctant, eventually gave in.
With the ongoing tension, Alicia found herself fully alert, and the three of them ended up sitting in the corridor
outside the hospital room, discussing the night's events.
Corey chain-smoked, each drag burning his throat more than the last. Eventually, he broke the silence and said,
“Your husband understands why Pierre had to die.”
Caden responded with biting sarcasm, “Don’t tellyou've only just figured out his identity.”
“Damn it, | was careless. Of all my enemies, he was the first to confrontdirectly, seeking revenge.”
Alicia said, clearly upset, “That was a human life. Do you think this is skind of game?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaden spoke calmly. “I respect the deceased. My comment was merely to point out Corey’s insensitivity.”
Caught up in his emotions, Corey realized he had overstepped, especially considering Alicia's empathy. He
understood he shouldn't have spoken as he did. He extinguished his cigarette. “Let's leave this behind and focus
on helping Gemma recover.”
Alicia, skeptical, asked, “Did you kill Pierre yourself?”
“Don’t worry, I've handled it. The police won't catch me.”
“You're missing the point. Whether you live or die doesn’t concern me,” Alicia replied, her voice flat.
“Did you do it in front of Gemma?”
Corey nodded, his lips pressed tight. “I was terrified Pierre might hurt Gemma.”
Alicia smirked. “If he had really wanted to harm her, he wouldn't have waited until now. Despite knowing Gemma
cared for him, you still went through with it, and so brutally. Corey, you're acting like a monster.”
The comment pierced Corey's heart.
