NovelBookChapter 1401 Chapter 1401: Caden simply observed Kenji without speaking further.
Kenji returned to his work, hands deft, mind unwavering.
The minutes stretched endlessly until Caden finally broke the silence. "Aren't you afraid of getting infected by me?" "No." The word cdecisively, devoid of embellishment, solid as stone.
Caden found it oddly reassuring. "Ellis cares about you," he murmured. "If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to him?" Kenji glanced at Caden, his voice steady as he spoke. “I already informed my father. He supports my decision. Mr. Ward, I understand you cherish Scarlette, and I know you will do everything you can to stay strong for her. I will do my best to help you." Caden coughed lightly. "Keep her in the dark about my condition.” Kenji nodded in silent agreement.

Kenji sat upright, fully absorbed in his work. The glow from the lights illuminated his face, making him appear as the only steady presence in a city that was on edge.
Caden's lips curled slightly. "I hope you make a breakthrough soon." Caden's fever slowly began to subside, though it occasionally relapsed.
Kenji wasn't skilled at taking care of patients. He was clumsy at first, but when Caden had enough strength, he would guide Kenji, and Kenji learned quickly, becoming proficient in just a few days. Hard work paid off, and Caden's condition finally began to improve.
Soon, news spread that hospitals were seeing recoveries. Patients were responding well to treatment.
Kenji exhaled deeply, feeling relieved, and walked over to Caden's bed, ready to share the good news. But Caden was already asleep, his face relaxed in rest. Kenji chose not to wake him.
Sitting down, Kenji finally allowed himself to acknowledge his exhaustion. As soon as he shut his eyes, he drifted off to sleep, slumping against the wall. The door opened quietly. Roscoe stepped inside, moving toward Kenji with the intention of waking him.
"Let him rest for a while," Caden murmured. Roscoe hesitated but then nodded. Stepping closer, he leaned in. "Mr. Ward, your wife and daughter are here." Caden looked around and asked, "Where are my wife and daughter?" "They're in the waiting room. Do you wantto bring them here?" Roscoe asked.
Caden's eyes landed on Kenji.
Kenji hadn't slept or groomed himself for days, looking utterly disheveled. When had he ever neglected himself to such an extent? It was clear that he had been deeply concerned about Caden over the past few days.
Pointing at Kenji, Caden instructed Roscoe, "First, let's get him to the bed in the next room to rest." Sleeping in a chair would only leave Kenji sore all over.

Caden stood up and stretched. Roscoe handed him a glass of water and whispered, "Mr. Ward, are you going to drop the act now?"
"It's all over. What's the point?" Caden responded, sipping the water and clicking his tongue. "Where did this water cfrom?" "I just got it for you."
Caden placed the glass down, showing little emotion.
Sanwa When Kenji looked afterhe always put a slice meche of lemon in the water. This tastes bland without it."
Roscoe laughed softly at his comment. "It seems he has passed your test," he said, exhaling a sigh of relief. "I'm concerned that if you stop pretending now, Kenji might catch on to our charade." Caden replied, "Even if he does figure it out, it's fine."
