Chapter 50 Healing His Wounds Cadens POV : A chill ran through my hand .

Finished I looked at the woman before me , diligently wrapping my wound , and it felt as though the pain had faded away .

Rosalines technique was so precise .

Could she have a background in medicine ? What other surprises does this woman have up her sleeve ? Rosaline gently blew on the injury , her voice soft as she said , It might sting a little , just try to hold on .

The warmth from her breath brushed against my hand , causing a light , tingling sensation that was oddly soothing .

I found myself wanting to reach out and take her hand .

However , Rosaline must have thought I was frustrated by the pain , because she quickly pressed my hand down , saying , Dont move , itll be over in a moment .

The warmth from her touch spread through me, and I murmured , Thank you , Rosie .

Rosaline looked up , her expression one of shock and disbelief as she stared at me .

Why … are you calling me that ? she asked , pulling back slightly .

I suddenly realized that this was the first time I had ever referred to her like that .

Have we really never crossed paths before ? I asked once more .

At that moment , something about Rosaline felt familiar reminding me of a girl from the depths of my memories Tessa .

We were so close now , her soft forehead and eyes right before me .

The comforting and familiar scent hovered just beneath my nose .

Rosalines POV : I heard Caden calling my name , and instinctively , I froze , staring at him in confusion .

Why does he keep asking such strange questions ? How could we have met before ? I rubbed my temples , trying to think back , but I couldnt recall any trace of Caden in my memory .

The first time I saw him was just two weeks ago , at Eclipse Manor .

I was certain that before this , there had been no connection between us .

I had never met Caden before .

1/3 09:59 Fri , Mar Chapter 50 Healing His Wounds been in Frostmoore .

How could we have met ? Oh , I see .

Caden replied , his voice carrying a hint of disappointment .

93 % # Finished Alright , stop overthinking it .

I still need to finish bandaging you , I replied , focusing again on tending to his wounds .

After about five minutes , I had dressed all the injuries and confirmed there was no further bleeding .

Packing up the first aid kit , I said , Ive only done basic first aid .

You need a thorough check up at the hospital .

Let me take you there .

Caden narrowed his eyes slightly .

Do you know how to drive ? I nodded confidently .

Not a problem .

Sliding into the drivers seat , I pressed the gas pedal with ease and steered the car toward the hospital .

Caden , seated beside me in the passenger seat , suddenly broke the silence .

I didnt take harsher action against Stella .

That doesnt bother you , does it ? Caught off guard , I paused for a moment before shaking my head .

Not at all .

Honestly , you didnt need to step in and defend me against her .

I can handle situations like that .

Really ? Caden gave me that familiar , searching look again before asking abruptly , Rosaline , who are you really ? I instinctively pulled back , my words caught in my throat .

Had he noticed something ? When I instinctively prepared to counter Stella earlier , perhaps a trace of Alphas aura had slipped out .

Clearing my throat quickly , I tried to sound casual ..

Dont overthink it .

Ive been hunting with my grandfather and the others in Frostmoore since I was little .

Someone like Stella doesnt pose a real threat to me .

Hunting ? You ? Caden let out a soft chuckle , clearly skeptical .

Luckily , he didnt press the matter further , and before long , we arrived at the hospital .

The doctor performed a thorough examination on Caden , and as Id suspected , his hand injuries werent severe .

Tm I exhaled in relief .

Im so glad youre alright .

Caden shot me a deep look .

Whats this ? Worried about me ? Is it so strange to care about you ? You did get hurt saving me , after all , I replied , though I couldnt help but think to myself that it hadnt been necessary .

These injuries arent too serious , the doctor said reassuringly .

They should heal within a day or two .

If youre concerned about scarring , I can prescribe a scar removal ointment .

Yes , prescribe it .

Give it to him , I said quickly , eager to agree .

By the time we left the hospital , the first light of dawn was breaking .

09:59 FM , Mar Chapter 50 Healing His Wounds Finished I opened the car door , slid into the drivers seat , and started the engine .

Where are we leading ? I asked .

Caden gave me an indifferent glance .

To New Moon Clly .

Confused , I frowned .

Arent we going back home ? A faint smile tugged at his lips .

Its too late for that now he replied .

I couldnt help but smile .

Are you trying to keep Mrs.

Holbrook from finding out about your injury ? Especially since you got hurt while saving me ? Caden didnt refute my words , but the look in his eyes as he stared at me grew more intense .
