Chapter 394
Nicole''s eyes were zing with hatred.
Standing up, she decided to visit the Moore residence to find Allie.
She knew Allie was foolish, greedy for money, and a materialistic woman, so she nned to get the
latter and Jeffrey, who held the most authority in the Moore family, on her side. Then, she would get her
parents to intervene in the matter. In the end, Cayden would have no choice but to cave to her.
At Trident Group, after Yuvan examined Avery''s body, he noticed she was fine except for her swollen
wrists and sprained muscles.
Mentally, however, she was more affected.
After all, she almost fell from the eighty-eight floor. Anyone would have gotten a heart attack from this.
Yuvan then did psychological counseling with her and prescribed her some soluble pills.
Cayden made sure Avery had entirely calmed down before letting Yuvan leave.
He did not let Avery return to the office to work after her scare. Instead, he made her rest in the CEO-
exclusive lounge.
After a moment, Cayden instructed someone to dissolve her soluble pills. Then, he handed the bowl of
medicine to her.
Avery had only taken a sip before her expression changed drastically.
She snuck a nce at Cayden and pursed her lips. Then, she held up the bowl of medicine and
furrowed her brows.
“You can go and work first. The medicine is too hot. I''ll wait for it to cool down before drinking,” Avery
said softly.
Cayden narrowed his eyes and stared at Avery''s unnatural expression. He did not reply as he turned
around to return to his office.
Avery heaved a sigh of relief.
After he left, she walked to the sink as she wanted to pour the bowl of medicine away.
“What are you doing?” An icy cold voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Shocked, Avery nearly dropped the bowl onto the ground.
She turned around and saw Cayden leaning on the door of the lounge.
Caught red-handed, she bit her lip in embarrassment. “N-Nothing.”
Cayden stared at her in amusement as he listened to herme excuse.
Knowing that it was obvious she was lying, Avery''s face reddened as she exined, “I don''t like to take
medicine. The pills Yuvan prescribed are too bitter. I simply had a minor scare. It''s not so serious until I
have to take medication for it. Also, there are side effects to eating medicine. I really don''t want to drink
this. I know I''ll recover in a few days.”
Cayden stared at her throughout her exnation.
Seeing Avery''s reluctant and troubled expression over the medicine, Cayden took the bowl and drank a
huge sip. Then, he pinned her against the wall and gripped her chin. In the next instant, his lips were
on hers as he forcefully fed the medicine to her.
Avery widened her eyes. The bitter medicine Cayden fed her turned into a different kind of bitterness.
Cayden would let Avery get her way in everything except when it came to her own body and health. He
refused to let her treat herself that lightly.
Avery''s expression soured, but she could not do anything.
The bitterness of the medicine had Avery cursing at Yuvan inwardly.
Cayden stared at her as she obediently finished the rest of the medicine.
He watched her lean against the bed as her bright eyes grew a little teary due to the bitterness. Her
aggrieved expression also caused his heart to soften.
Sitting down on the bed, he shifted her to sit in hisp.
Cayden said gently, “The medicine Yuvan prescribed is very effective. You had a scare today, so your
head might hurt tomorrow. You will feel better tomorrow after eating this medicine.”
Avery also knew it was for her own good but still felt aggrieved. “It''s really bitter.”
Cayden suddenly pulled a candy out of nowhere and unwrapped it.
Avery thought he would give the candy to her, so she did not expect it when he put it into his mouth.
Before Avery could react, Cayden had grabbed the back of her neck and started kissing her.
He skillfully teased her lips apart and passed the candy into her mouth with his tongue.

The bitter medicine taste still lingered in her mouth. Whenbined with her distinct taste and the
sweetness of the candy, Cayden found it particrly appealing.
Avery''s initially paleplexion had grown rosy after the kiss. Cayden felt contented upon seeing that
she was as red as an apple.
He said, “You don''t need to work anymore today. Take a nap. You cane to work tomorrow after
you''re fully rested. Anyways, thepany is about to go on holiday. I can help you apply for leave for
the remaining days.”
Avery frowned. “It''s fine. I''m okay. I can just rest for today ande to work tomorrow. There is more
work at the end of the year, so I should try to help out as much as possible.”
“Do as you like. I respect your decision. Then, I''ll go and work now. Let me know when you wake up.”
Cayden tucked Avery in before leaving to handle his work matters.
After Avery had the medicine, her head felt heavy. Therefore, it did not take her long to fall asleep.
She slept until six in the evening.
Her phone was blinking as she had received notifications from her WhatsApp. She unlocked her phone
and leaned against a pillow before opening WhatsApp.
Avery had received several messages from colleagues who were close to her expressing their
concerns. After all, many had seen her nearly fall.
Touched, she started replying to their messages one by one to express her gratitude.
She noticed Cecelia and Nina had sent her the most messages. Their messages were rife with worry
and concern for her. Therefore, she created a group chat with the three of them.
Then, she texted the group: I''m fine. I feel much better after resting. Thank you both for your concern.
Then, she added a smiling emoji.
Avery''s reply stirred up amotion in the chat.
Cecelia: Avery, you''re finally back in the world of the living! It was so scary today. I almost died of fright!
I swear I was almost about to give birth right then. Thank the heavens, you''re fine. You have to take
responsibility for my baby. It received a bigger scare than me.
Avery: Cecelia, how about I be the baby''s godmother after you give birth? I''ll give the baby
whatever it wants!
Nina: Heartless woman. You only think about Cecelia. I also got the shock of my life! How are you
going tofort me? Also, where are you now?
Avery: My dear Nina, it''s all my fault. I''ll treat you to a big meal soon! I''m in the lounge. See you
tomorrow.
Cecelia: Wow! The lounge! Is it Mr. Moore''s private lounge? Ery, Mr. Moore was so angry because of
you today. Tell us honestly. Did he forcefully do anything to you in his rage? Did he pin you down and
do naughty things with you?
Nina: You''re incorrigible, Cecelia. How can you think of our pure Ery like that? Ahem! Perhaps
someone just finished a passionate session! We might have disturbed her!
Avery was speechless.
After chatting with them for a while, she noticed it was almost time to get off work and suddenly
recalled what Allie had told her.
Her good mood was instantly ruined when she remembered Jeffrey wanted to meet Cayden.
