Chapter 622: Chapter 622

“I want to talk to you face–to–face,” Caden said, somewhat hesitantly. “You free?”

“Just spit it out over the phone, I’m all ears.”

Caden’s eyes dimmed slightly. After a moment of silence, he finally spilled the beans. I’m heading abroad.”

Arabella seemed taken aback. Just like that?

“I’ve quit my job at the hospital and my flight’s this afternoon.” As Caden said this, his smile had a hint of bitterness.

‘Where to? Why in such a rush?”

As soon as she asked this, Romeo gripped her hand tightly. Looking up at him, she saw a look of warning and jealousy in his eyes. Arabella had a hunch he wasn’t telling the whole truth then her expression changed slightly. “That’s not the real reason you’re leaving.”

He often worked overtime and it was par for the course for him. He wouldn’t just get up and quit for no reason so something felt off.

Romeo: She sure knew a lot about him, didn’t she?

“What happened?” Arabella asked softly.

Caden hadn’t expected her to be so sharp. Pulling the wool over her eyes was proving to be a tall order.

Before he met Arabella, he had indeed been interning at Hope Hospital, but he never worked overtime.

Arabella’s arrival changed everything.

During that time, Grace Murphy’s condition worsened. Arabella was at the hospital every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night.

In order to spend more time with Arabella, he volunteered for overtime and even took special care of the old lady.

Sometimes, after performing several surgeries a day, he would skip meals and spend a lot of energy handling the old lady’s sudden illness and researching her treatment plan But back then, he didn’t feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt happy to be able to have meals and chat with Arabella.

But at some point, Romeo started showing up by Arabella’s side.

After Grace’s death, Arabella stopped coming to the hospital. Their frequent interactions turned into no contact at all. He used overtime to numb himself Many times, he picked up his phone just wanting to hear Arabella’s voice, but he couldn’t. He wasn’t the one.

Arabella was now Romeo’s fiancée.

Staying at the hospital seemed to only add to his pain.

“You’re overthinking; I just don’t want to do this job anymore, that’s all.”

Caden didn’t tell the truth. Arabella didn’t push further, but his sudden decision left a sour taste in her mouth.

“What’s your plan for the future?” Arabella asked.

“I’m the only kid in the family,” Caden laughed. “Once I’m done having fun, I’ll take over the family business and let my folks chill out.”

He was the only child in the Newton family. His grandad was a renowned doctor, and his grandma was a well–known medical professor. His dad ran a pharmaceutical group ranked among the top three nationwide, and his mom owned more than thirty private hospitals.

He grew up in a wealthy environment. Being a doctor at Hope Hospital was indeed a bit of a raw deal.

“Maybe we’ll cross paths in the business world,” Caden said with a smile. “Your BellaHealth Innovations is a formidable competitor to the Newton Group.”

At this, Romeo’s eyes landed on Arabella. She founded BellaHealth Innovations?

She never mentioned this before.

Caden knew about it, and he was in the dark!

He was taken aback!
