Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 30 Pathetic

###

Leon's skill was not that bad either.

He immediately moved his body and dodged that punch.

Both Caden and Leon took a step back after that punch. Their hands were still in front of them,

defending themselves and at the same time, trying to predict the moves of their opponent.

Caden’'s expression suddenly turned cold, realization flashed across his eyes. How could he not

thought of this, that Leon didn't intend to fight with him. Else, Leon wouldn't have just dodged that

punch...Leon wasn't the type to run away from problems, so he would have blocked his punch with his

hands if he wanted a fight.

These were two extreme ways to deal with a punch.

Leon was certainly the former.

“Stay away from her.” Caden hugged the girl in his arms, preparing to leave.

When he reached the doorway, someone advised him from behind, “You're a respectable opponent so

I'll warn you. I hope you'll understand what your heart wants before it’s too late.” Don’t be like me and

regret it in the end.

Leon blinked a few times, hiding the darkness in his eyes.

The man at the door was emotionless. “It’s none of your business.”

Leon wasn't a nosy person either. Originally, he wasn’t going to say anything else, but his heart

softened when his eyes fell on the girl, “Caden Shaw, you're in love with her.”

The expression on Caden’s face was unreadable.

There was a slight curve on his mouth. He glanced at the girl in his arms. Was he in love with her?

Leon also sensed Caden’s ignorance. He laughed lightly. When did he become a saint and advise his

own rival to not commit mistakes in a relationship?

“Hey, for your own good, let me offer you the last piece of advice. Don’t ever mention ‘locking her up’ in

front of her.”

Caden’'s body stopped a while before stepping out of the room. He headed straight to the elevator.

Leon rubbed his gold frames and straightened his suit. He too followed behind Caden and left the

room.

The elevator rang when it stopped on the 28th floor.

Once the doors opened, Caden put her on the bed, took out his phone and dialed a number, “Come to

the Royal Club. 28th floor, a woman fainted.”

He hung up after telling the person briefly.

On the other side of the call, Humbert White was confused at first, but he gradually came to a

realization, “Woman?”

Caden bringing women to that floor again?

He rather phrased it as going to watch a drama rather than going to save a life. He immediately took off

his white coat and wore his jacket. He took his car keys and rushed out of the office.

“Doctor, you look like you have something urgent in hand. Where are you going?”

“Going to see women.”

Humbert quickly made his way to the parking lot while calling Ingemar, “There's a drama, wanna go

together?”

“I'm busy.” He rejected without hesitation.

“Caden Shaw's drama.”

“Where is it?” He immediately changed his mind when he heard the name.

Humbert smirked, “Royal Club, 28th floor.”

“What's there to watch? We can’t even go to the 28th floor. I’m not going anymore.”

“A woman fainted on the 28th floor.”

“Wait for me, I'm on my way!”

Both of them were excited. How speechless would their parents be if they witnessed this scene?

They might not be that motivated even if they were asked to collect their year-end bonus.

The 28th floor of the Royal International Entertainment Club.

He stood beside the bed with hands in his pockets while looking at the girl lying on the bed.

He knew well that this girl had a small face, even smaller than his palm.

But...since when did this face become so thin?

Her sunken eyes, pale skin and dry lips...where did the original Grace James go? Where did she go?

As he looked at her...pathetic was the word that came to his mind.

How could he fall in love with someone who is pathetic and has no dignity?

How could he, Caden Shaw, fall in love with this kind of woman?

A mocking smile appeared on his lips. This thought of his was dismissed immediately before it could

stay in his heart.

Ignorance.

His phone rang. It was from Humbert. He had arrived.

“Come up.” He said blankly and hung up. He walked towards the elevator and pressed a switch.

This elevator could reach the 28th floor directly, but Humbert wasn’t able to come because he didn’t

possess Caden’s card. Therefore, Caden needed to turn on the switch to grant him access.

Ding!

The door of the elevator opened. Caden’s not surprised to see that Humbert wasn't alone.

“Come in.”

Caden didn't stop Ingemar after glancing at him.

“Where is the girl?”

Ingemar's eyes were glowing. Using his ‘laser eyes’, he scanned the area, trying to find his target.

“This is the Royal Club. There's a lot of girls downstairs if you want to find one. Just tell Gloria what

type of girl you want and she'll settle it for you.”

Caden said calmly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Oh...”

Humbert glared at Ingemar.

“Ahem... Caden, the woman that you mentioned, could it be...her?” Ingemar and Humbert followed

Caden into the bedroom. There was a girl lying on the bed. When they looked closer, wasn't the girl

Grace James, the one that got thrown into jail by Caden himself?

Their jaws dropped at the scene!

Humbert wasn't like Ingemar, he wouldn't exclaim dramatically.

However, he was shocked too as soon as he saw Grace.

“Check her and tell me whether it's an emergency or not.”

Then beside him spoke with a low voice.

Humbert immediately went to Grace and checked her.

After testing her breathing and checking her pulse, Humbert opened the buttons on Grace's shirt...

A hand suddenly gripped his wrist. It was followed with a shout.

“What are you doing!”

“...Oh.” It was Caden’s hand. His cold eyes stared directly at his soul, sending shivers down his

childhood friend's spine.

“Ahem, I’m checking the sound of her heart and lungs.”

“You're just checking. How is it necessary to unbutton her shirt?”

“... Humbert was so confused. Bro, how could I perform auscultation if I didn’t unbutton her shirt?

“I need to perform auscultation on her. It's a normal procedure in any medical field!”

Humbert couldn't help but roll his eyes at Caden!

Caden let go after listening to his explanation. Humbert then proceeded to unbutton her shirt.

But then, the hand came to stop him again. “I'll do it.”

Humbert and Ingemar glanced at each other and realized that they were having the same thought in

mind.

“Is this okay?” Caden suddenly asked Humbert.

Humbert was surprised. He then said quickly, “Yes yes yes.”

Only one button was unbuttoned on the shirt... Even if it’s not okay, he had to say okay!

“It's nothing. I was just emotionally worked up.” Humbert finished checking and joked.

“I say, Caden, why do I feel like you’re treating Grace James exceptionally well?”
