Chapter 715: Without a word, he removed his jacket and draped it gently around her shoulders. Alicia's eyes shut tightly, and the tears she had held back for what seemed like an eternity began to fall, tracing silent paths down her cheeks. She leaned into him, her fragile frfinding solace in the erratic rhythm of his heart.
"I'm taking you to the hospital," Caden said, his voice hoarse and detached, though his eyes betrayed the storm raging within.
"I'll deal with the reporters," Alicia said, her voice trembling as she struggled to form the words, desperation making her breathless.

"Caden, I wasn't violated," she insisted, her voice breaking as she looked up at him.
"Do you believe me?" He didn't respond immediately. Instead, he gently brushed her hair back, revealing the red, swollen mark on her cheek. His expression hardened, a dangerous edge sharpening his tone as he asked, "Who did this to you?" Alicia let out a dry, humorless laugh, her exhaustion evident.
"Was it Benedict?" he guessed, his voice devoid of emotion yet carrying an undertone of restrained fury. Caden suppressed the storm within himself and reached for his phone, dialing quickly.
"Jasmine, cimmediately," he said, his tone firm and commanding.
Alicia's trembling fingers clutched at his hand, her red, tear-filled eyes pleading with him to understand. A thousand words fought to escape her throat, but all she could manage was silence.
"No matter what happened, it's not your fault," Caden said quietly, his voice softening as his gaze met hers. Alicia stared at him, stunned, as tears streamed down her cheeks, the weight of despair pressing down on her. "You don't trust me," she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Before she could say more, Jasmine hurried into the room, her face a mixture of worry and focus.

Caden secured the coat around Alicia, carefully buttoning it to shield her from the outside world's prying eyes.
"Take Ms. Bennett to the hospital," he instructed Jasmine.
"I'll join you soon."
Alicia felt the last remnants of her strength fade as Jasmine gently led her out. Her steps were heavy, each one dragging her further into the haze of her exhaustion and heartache.
Caden stood in the room for a moment, his gaze lingering on the chaos left behind. Then, with a cold resolve, he turned to his bodyguards.
"Take Blake away," he ordered, his tone steely and unyielding.
