Chapter 407
Chapter 407:
He was left with no option but to cobble together the last of the wedding gifts’ money. Pleading for any
reduction, he barely managed to clear the exorbitant fee.
Clutching at nothing, Caiden stumbled from the hotel, emerging into the clamor of the city street.
He stood, momentarily adrift in the ceaseless tide of passersby, his thoughts a chaotic whirl. How had his life
unraveled to this point?
Daniela had always been a beacon of kindness—the most compassionate person he knew, always protective and
quick to forgive.
Why had it cto this?
Daniela, the CEO of Elite Lux, was his own flesh and blood. If he had shown her the slightest kindness, she would
never have cast him aside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, he was her only remaining family. That fact alone should have guaranteed him a life filled with comfort
and luxury during his twilight years. So, what had driven them apart? What had caused the deep rift between
him and Daniela, as well as Brylee? Why had he let everything fall apart so disastrously?
Lost in his regrets, Caiden wandered down the street, oblivious to the chaos around him until the screech of
brakes shattered his reverie. His body was hurled through the air, tumbling, before it slammed down onto the
hard asphalt.
Lying there, his vision dimming and pain coursing through his body, a quiet thought fluttered across his mind.
Had he really messed up this badly?
Daniela received a call from the hospital, pressing her to settle smedical expenses. Upon asking for the
patient's name, the person on the other end hesitated, their words faltering without a clear answer. Realization
dawned on Daniela. Without a word, she ended the call and chose not to visit.
At the hospital, Joyce stormed into the room, her expression clouded with anger.
“Dad, what's the matter with you? You're not a child anymore! Can't you watch where you're walking? I've just
started a new chapter in my life with my marriage, and here | am, rushing to the hospital because of your
carelessness. Are you trying to sabotage my happiness?”
Caiden, upon hearing Joyce's sharp rebuke, felt her words sting more painfully than his physical injuries.
“Joyce, | kneeled and begged Daniela on your behalf. | pushed myself to the edge for you. | was worn out, and
that’s why | didn’t see the car. And now you dare say that to me?”
Joyce's voice cut through the air, sharp and chilling.
“So you kneeled before Daniela? Look, you've secured the shares, right? If a single act of submission can bring
us that much gain, I'd kneel every single day. Really, you're okay now, so what's the urgency in dragging me
here? Dad, I'm a married woman now.
You shouldn't keep burdeningwith these issues. It’s wearingdown. If you can’t manage your own medical
bills and expectto pay for them? Have you considered how much strain that puts on my relationship with my
husband and father-in-law?”
Caiden’s gaze locked on her, his expression one of utter shock.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What did you just say?” His voice was feeble, trembling with disbelief.
“Isn't it clear enough? Do you think it’s right to keep leaning on your married daughter like this? And don’t forget
—I’'m not even your flesh and blood. If you're in need, you should reach out to Daniela. She's your real daughter.
Consider my predicament for once. My husband and father-in-law are already displeased with me, and your
demands are only making my life more difficult.”
With a few quick taps, Joyce transferred just enough money into his account to settle the hospital bills. She
offered no comforting words, no inquiries about his well-being. Without another word, she turned and left the
room, leaving Caiden to sink back against his pillow, his figure deflated, motionless as a statue.
