Chapter 285:
“Mr. Phillips?”
Cedric stopped in his tracks.
“Yes? What's wrong?”
Miguel massaged his temples.
“Have you ever even tried to impress a woman? You're going about it all wrong! Seriously, did you just tell her,
‘I'll be watching you’? To anyone else, that'd sound downright creepy, like a stalker!”

Cedric scoffed, rolling his eyes.
“Her? Scared? No way. She's the most fearless person | know. Honestly, if anyone’s scared, it’s probably me, not

faint smile.
As she pushed open the hospital room door, Cedric trailed in behind her. By then, his entire demeanor had

Daniela’s eyes flickered briefly towards Caiden. Without another word, she walked away.
The hospital belonged to Cedric, and as soon as he arrived, the director rushed to greet him in person.
The attending doctor started explaining Caiden’s condition.
“He's suffering from severe inflammation, though the exact cause remains unknown. We're treating it while
conducting further investigations.”
“Is it life-threatening?” Daniela asked, her tone measured. The doctor shook his head.
