Chapter 624:
Dorian let out a scoff.
“What do you have besides money, Caden? Do you really think you can take me on?”
At that, Caden’s bodyguards moved in, surrounding Dorian. But Dorian’s expression remained steady, unfazed by the looming threat.
“If your men so much as touch me, I’ll ensure the hospital’s life support is shut down. Gareth will die instantly.”
Caden stilled. The bodyguards exchanged glances, hesitant to make a move.
Dorian stepped closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur.
“Caden, I never wanted Gareth dead. I’m giving you a chance here. We’ve known each other for years; I’d rather not turn this into a battle for survival.”
Caden’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
“What kind of ‘chance’ are you offering? Marrying Yolanda?”
Dorian’s eyes glimmered with defiance as he raised his chin.

“You no longer have the right to choose. All you can do is become Yolanda’s boytoy, regardless of whether you’re willing.”
A dark, taunting smile spread across Caden’s face.
“Is she that desperate to marry me? My dog hasn’t found a mate yet — maybe Yolanda should consider that.”
Dorian’s eyes flared with anger, his pupils narrowing dangerously. Rage simmered beneath the surface, but he forced himself to remain composed.
Caden knew Dorian’s influence ran deep in the hospital, but he’d never let that stop him from saying what needed to be said. He met Dorian’s gaze, unflinching. No one was going to have the upper hand here.
Dorian’s voice was low and venomous.
“I’ll wait for you to witness Gareth’s end.”
“And I’ll be there to witness yours,” Caden shot back, his voice equally frigid.
With a derisive glance, Dorian turned and strode away.
As soon as he was gone, Caden took out his phone and called other hospitals, preparing backup plans to move Gareth if necessary. Dorian had lost all restraint and was capable of anything now.
Moments later, the doors to the operating room burst open. A doctor emerged, his gloved hands covered in blood.
“Who is the patient’s family?”
Caden moved forward instantly.
“I am. What’s going on with Gareth?”
The doctor’s face was drawn with concern.
“There’s an unexpected shortage of medication from the warehouse. The patient’s wounds are severe, and we’re struggling to control the bleeding. Without the necessary drugs, his condition will worsen quickly. Mr. Ward, you need to act fast.”
Caden’s gaze darkened, a storm brewing in his eyes.
