Chapter 178 Beatrice, You’re Really Talented When Julio was sinking, Beatrice tightly held onto his hand. At that moment, he had already turned pale with fear.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve got you.”
Beatrice comforted him while she held his chin with her hand.
However, a six or seven–year–old child is not light in weight, and when their clothes become. soaked, they become extremely heavy. Even an adult would find it difficult. But fortunately, she didn’t have many clothes on her body, and her arms were free to move.
Although it was cold, I could still tough it out.
Beatrice pulled the child and finally swam to the shore, while her older sister cried and reached. out to pull her.
“Miss, give me your hand quickly.”
“Pull the child first.”
Beatrice clearly felt exhausted and had no idea how long she could carry the child.
The older sister said thank you while pulling the frozen child onto the shore.
Just as she reached out to grab Beatrice, a thick branch, as thick as an arm, suddenly floated downstream and struck Beatrice’s shoulder directly.
She groaned, her arm went numb and she let go of her older sister’s hand, getting hit by a tree branch and falling into the water flow.
“Miss! Miss!” the elder sister
sister shouted from the shore, “Help! Save ΠΑ
Beatrice struggled in the river for a few moments, and then her body sank uncontrollablyr
The feeling of suffocation gradually enveloped the whole body, and consciousness was fading
away.
Vaguely, the water rippled, and through the slits of her eyes, she saw a figure approaching her.
Hospital.
Beatrice woke up weakly, her vision blurry for a moment before gradually becoming clear. She moved her body and felt as if her whole body was being restrained by something. I lifted the covers and saw a strong arm lying across my waist, with a blood–red ring emitting at dangerous gleam on the man’s finger.
At this moment, the man’s breathing quickened, and a hoarse voice slowly resounded.
“Awake?”
“Um, Beatrice responded, reaching out to grab the arm at her waist.
But as soon as she pried open the man’s hand, he became even more presumptuous. He held her waist in his palm and turned her around.
Beatrice didn’t have time to exclaim, and she came face to face with an enlarged handsome face
12:20
Beatzen, You’n Bealy
Her heart skipped a beat, and her body instinctively leaned back.
The man pressed against her lower back and firmly pulled her into his arms. Beatrice struggled a few times, feeling a bit out of breath.
“Uncle Caden, what were you doing?”
At this moment, Caden closed his eyes, slightly furrowed his brows, seemingly dissatisfied with her resistance.
But the palm gently stroked her back, smoothing out her breath.
“Lie down and don’t move.”
Although Beatrice didn’t want to admit it, she did feel a lot better after a few strokes on her back.
She pursed her lips and looked at the close proximity of their bodies. She still felt uncomfortable and tried to create some distance between the two of them.
Little did she know, a hand on her back mischievously grabbed hold of her nape. Her body tensed, and she met Caden’s slowly opening black eyes.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when I got closer, I found that his complexion actually looked at bit pale.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.
Beatrice suppressed her unease and calmly said, “That child…”
“It’s all right.”
“That’s good,” she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Is that so?” Caden furrowed his brow.
“What else?”
Beatrice found him a bit inexplicable.
In an instant, Caden shifted on the pillow, their foreheads touching, their gaze fixed deeply on the woman in front of them, who pretended to be calm.
“So, I am not even worth as much as a stranger child to you? Is this how you treat me?” Upon hearing this, Beatrice looked at him in disbelief, unable to discern his tone for a moment.
She thought for a moment and then politely spoke up, “Uncle Caden, are you okay?”
Caden almost laughed out loud.
Their eyes met, and his gaze gradually darkened.
Originally, he didn’t want to do anything, considering her weak physical condition. Looking into her eyes, he found it difficult to control himself.
Even the strand of hair that fell on the tip of his nose was teasing his heart.
Without waiting for Beatrice’s reaction, the man in front of her gently brushed his lips against hers, as if a dragonfly skimming the water.
In an instant, his hand on the back of her neck held her head, deepening the kiss possessively.
But the duration was not long, his clenched fist was right next to Beatrice’s ear, she could every

hear the sound of restraint.
Caden stared at her, “Beatrice, you really had talent.”
Beatrice didn’t understand.
He didn’t give her a chance to ask clearly either, he pulled her and lay down in the blanket. “Sleep a little longer.”
Beatrice moved twice, seeing that she couldn’t push the man, she could only give up and close her
eyes.
Outsitle the door.
Madelynn tightly gripped the doorknob, watching the two people inside embracing and sleeping, trembling with anger.
But she didn’t dare to push open the door, so she could only turn around with a belly full of
anger.
When she reached the elevator entrance, a hand covered her mouth from behind and dragged. her into the stairwell.
After a daze, the man gasped heavily and fiercely kissed her lips.
The man didn’t release her until she winced in pain.
After seeing the other person clearly, Madelynn angrily pushed him away.
“Brenton, you get out of here!”
Brenton Goodman was not annoyed either. He reached out and cupped her face, kissed her forehead, and then kissed the tip of her nose.
“Okay, calm down. Did you sleep with Caden yesterday?”
“What are you sleeping for? Your mind is filled with only this little thing, you can’t even do things properly. Do you have the nerve to say you trust me with your life?”
Madelynn turned her back.
Brenton embraced her from behind, burying his face in the nape of her neck and giving her a few kisses.
“Don’t worry,
I said I would help you, and soon there will be no Beatrice in this world.”
I heard that Madelynn’s eyes shifted, and she turned around to hook her arms around Brenton’s neck.
“Really?”
“Of course,” Brenton raised an eyebrow.
Madelynn smiled and gave a warm kiss.
After Beatrice fell asleep, Caden left the ward.
After getting on the car, he lit a cigarette.
As the first puff of smoke escaped his lips, he looked at Keith and said, “We were being followed

Keith glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that a van had been following him since he left the hospital.
He
nodded at Caden in the mirror and instantly overtook, changing direction.
Caden smoked his cigarette leisurely and said in a deep voice, “Watching so closely, it seems like someone has been leaking information.”
Keith was not only Caden’s assistant but also a professionally trained bodyguard, so shaking off a tail was a piece of cake for him.
In less than five minutes, the car behind him was left behind by his car’s shadow. Caden pondered for a moment, lit a cigarette, and dialed the phone.
“Brend, where is your younger brother?”
“Brenton? He took sick leave. You know, besides being a bit playful, he has always been top–notch in terms of ability. His mentor also cherishes him, so when he got injured, they let him go back and rest well.”
Mentioning Brenton, Brend’s tone was filled with pride.
Brend’s father passed away early, and although Brend appeared cheerful every day, the truth was that he carried a heavy burden of responsibility.
Not only did I have to take care of things at home, but I also had to look after my mother and younger brother.
Caden fell silent for a moment and then spoke slowly, ‘Brend, let’s take a trip to Burlington.” Brend hesitated for a few seconds, “Don’t scare me! You actually spoke to me in this tone! Did something happen to your niece again?”
Yes. So I need you to come over,” Caden said calmly.
“Okay, okay, since I happen to have nothing to do recently, let’s just take a year off as a vacation.7
Brend readily agreed.
