NovelEnglishChapter 1091:
Just this morning, they had shared a kiss. She had been wrapped in his arms, dreaming of their future, playfully
envying Alicia and Caden’s marriage, and had jokingly asked if he would marry her.
Pierre had nodded solemnly. Just hours before, he had lovingly prepared soup for her. Now, death had claimed
him, leaving his body still and silent.
Corey stood a short distance away, observing his sister's somber composure, not daring to approach. He
understood the gravity of his error—it was unforgivable.
Hoarsely, Corey asked the doctor, “Is there really no hope?”
The doctor shook his head sorrowfully. “The gunshot wasn’t fatal by itself, but the internal bleeding was. During
the emergency procedures, we found his internal organs had sustained severe damage, which hastened his

Alicia didn’t decline, but Caden was not pleased.
“You caused this mess, and now you expect Alicia to clean it up?” Caden’s frown deepened. “I don’t agree.”
Corey's chest heaved with exasperation. “I'm not asking for your help. Why are you interfering?”
Caden responded icily, “Alicia is my wife. | haven't even let her take care of me. And now you expect her to
