?<strong>Chapter 868:</strong>


    He swallowed hard, quelling his rising desire.


    Alicia continued her meal, unaffected. Across the table, Luci asionally sent curious and confused nces their way.


    As Alicia reflected, she realized that it was crucial to address the situation today. She nudged Caden gently with her elbow. “Let’s find a quiet ce after we finish eating. I have something important to discuss with you.”


    Caden’s body tensed, misunderstanding the situation. He frowned, whispered, and said, “Did you notice I was aroused?”


    Alicia was taken aback. She instinctively looked down, then cursed silently to herself.


    Ciara, noticing the awkward moment, chuckled. “Alicia, did you drop something?”


    Caden regained hisposure and crossed his legs. He responded for Alicia, “I just dropped some food on my pants.”


    Ciara offered, “I’ll have someone bring you a new pair of pants.”


    Caden declined. “No need, I’ll just wipe it off.”


    After the meal, Alicia rummaged through her bag.


    Caden, curious, tilted his head. “What are you looking for?”


    Alicia said, “I know a doctor. He’s a highly skilled neurosurgeon, specializing in cerebral palsy. Didn’t you mention your hand trembles? Would you like to see him?”


    Caden was taken aback.


    Alicia produced two business cards and handed them to him. “Found them.”


    Caden didn’t refuse. He just epted them without a word.


    After examining the cards, he asked, “Why two?”


    Alicia said gently, “There’s also a men’s health specialist. It might be good to address your arousal issues, don’t you think?”


    Caden was speechless once again, a mix of frustration and amusement crossing his face.


    Caden thought that Alicia might be sad if he weren’t aroused easily.


    Alicia headed towards the lounge, recalling that she had something important to discuss with Caden. Meanwhile, his stomach difort prompted him to seek medication.


    In the lounge, Alicia washed her hands and encountered ke, who had just seen off some guests. They greeted each other casually.


    With no one else around, ke asked bluntly, “Are you with Caden again?”


    Alicia didn’t answer directly. “I’m under a lot of pressure at work right now, so I’m not considering a rtionship.”


    ke nodded in understanding. “Alicia, make peace with him. Don’t waste time.”


    Alicia was taken aback.
