Chapter 30
Celeste’s silence made Mary more uneasy and cautious, “you know, yesterday on the boat, you threw up all over Mr. Melville. Yet he held you in arms and rushed to the hospital.”
Celeste didn’t even raise her head up. Mary added, “he didn’t let go of you
the entire way.”
Anger coursed though Celeste’s veins. She had been quite hungry, and just wanna enjoy a peaceful meal. However, Mary’s words completely killed her
appetite.
She threw the spoon on plate, and it made a sharp clink.
“Excuse me, are you hearing yourself?”
“I understand you work for Kendric, so it’s natural for you to speak up for
him, but you shouldn’t twist the facts. Why would I end up hospitalized? It was
because his fucking tracking me down made me suffer and weakened my
body.”
“He made me have to take the ferry, or else I’d not have thrown up and
passed out.”
“All these things… don’t tell me you all can’t see the truth!”
Celeste’s blunt words left Mary dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, Mary still
thought of Celeste as timid kitty, but now she realized Celeste was more like at
rose with thorns.
“Miss Alinsky, you’ve got it wrong,” Mary explained. “Mr. Melville was

Celeste sneered, “an executioner will never admit to being an executioner.”
Mary felt a simmering anger because of Celeste’s ingratitude. In the eyes of her and other assistants, Kendric was an important and respectable person, so she couldn’t bear to hear Celeste hurling ironic words at Kendric.
“I know exactly what’s on your mind.” Celeste said.
She stared straight at Mary and added, “you must be thinking of me as
ungrateful.”
“You are thinking that one day when I push Kendric’s patience to the limit,
and when he discard me, I’ll definitely regret my actions today. You can’t wait to
see me in tears.”
At this point, Mary couldn’t even maintain her fake smile.
Celeste continued, “you can just go straight to Kendric and tell him to drive
me away, and I’ll leave without a fuss. He doesn’t even need to have someone to
send me. I’ll hail a cab immediately.”
She had made things clear with Kendric yesterday. Because of Kendric’s
mocks at her, she had put away the last shred of goodwill she had for him.
Mary opened his mouth but couldn’t find any words. “Have a good rest,” she hurriedly fled from the ward.
In a villa near the hospital.
“He still hasn’t eaten?” Mary glanced upstairs with concern.
Cade shook his head, “what about the one at the hospital?”
Redeemed From Caged Li
Chapter
Mary let out a sigh, “she’s dining comfortably.”
They both let out a collective sigh.
Mary brought up her conversation with Celeste at the hospital, “do you think she is for real… or is she just playing hard to get?”
During this month of searching for Celeste, Cade had witnessed his boss’s
changing emotions firsthand.
As soon as Kendric learned that Celeste left, his initial anger gradually
turned into impatience. And later, with no clues of her trace for a long time, he
was unable to hide his growing anxiety.
On the day Kendric got the news that Celeste was in Autumn River Town, he
rushed there without even changing his clothes.
Cade witnessed this entire process. Maybe not even Kendric himself
realized just how much he cared about Celeste.
Mary asked, “do you think Mr. Melville really has feelings for Celeste?”
“What do you think?” Cade asked.
Mary shook her head, “he never said that.”
Cade gazed toward upstairs, “if he doesn’t like her, why would he let her live in his home as his fiancée?”
“If he doesn’t like her, why would he put so much thought into choosing gifts for her every time he went on a business trip?”
“If he doesn’t like her… why would he be so angry about her cold attitude?”
“If he doesn’t like her, the person who’s angered him like this… would have

long been buried underground.”
As a woman, Mary couldn’t quite comprehend this kind of overbearing CEO–style love. “Why doesn’t he just say it directly if he likes her?”
Cade fell silent for a moment. “Back when Celeste loved him, he hadn’t figured out how to express his love. Now that she doesn’t like him anymore, do you think he will drop his dignity and speak out his true feelings?”
Mary held her breath for a moment, “I suppose he probably won’t.”
The two of them sighed together once more.
Because of her conversations with Mary. Celeste lost her appetite. She
hardly touched her dinner, and her stomach started growling like a hungry
beast after nine o’clock.
Her grumbling stomach kept her from getting a good night’s sleep.
With no phone nearby and no chance of ordering takeout, she got out of bed, planning to venture out to grab something to eat.
But as soon as she stepped out of the ward the burly guards at the door intercepted her. “Miss Alinsky, you can’t go out.”
out.”
Celeste raised an eyebrow. “Why?”
The bodyguards only repeated the sentence like a record, “you can’t go
Okay, it was futile to argue with two hulking men, so Celeste opted for a more rational approach. “I’m starving. You can either order some food for me or
let me step out and find something to eat.”
However, they didn’t make either choice. Instead, they chose to dial Cade.
Celeste sighed in exasperation.
Meanwhile, Cade was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to coax his.
stubborn boss into eating. Just then, he received the call.
Cade’s eyes gleamed with a sly twinkle. “Okay, then bring her over here,” he instructed.
So, Celeste was instantly escorted to the place where Kendric was temporarily staying.
Upon seeing her, Cade put on a disingenuous smile. “The food is ready. Go on inside and enjoy it.”
This place was where Kendric occasionally stayed because it was
conveniently close to the hospital, and he had moved there temporarily today. Celeste had never been here before.
Thus, when Cade pointed to a door and told her to head inside for dinner, she didn’t think twice about it.
She never expected that Kendric would be waiting inside…
