Chapter 403:
At the time, Leonino had been puzzled. Cot-land wasn’t exactly known for its advanced medical facilities or safety. Why had Alden chosen this place?
Now, it all made sense, and Leonino couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. “So it was all part of the plan. You came for the surgery, but you’ve also been secretly searching for your mother p>
Alden’s mother, Delaney, came from the influential Hughes family. For her to remain hidden for so long, her powerful family must have kept her well concealed.
If Alden had made a big deal about coming here, the Hughes family would have caught on immediately.
But by using the surgery as cover, Alden could lower their guard and look for Delaney without raising suspicion.
Alden remained silent, which was as good as admitting everything.
“You’re something else—always two steps ahead,” Leonino said with a heavy sigh. Then he quickly added, “You can get your team to look for your mother. As for you, you need to stay put in the hospital and follow the rules. If not p>
Before Leonino could finish, Alden cut him off. “If not, you’ll tell Helena p>
Leonino paused, caught off guard. Alden grinned and added, “That’s a pretty good threat. The only person I truly fear is my wife p>
“Just focus on getting better and stop showing off your marriage p>
Leonino rolled his eyes and got into the car headed for the hospital. After they arrived, Leonino made sure Alden underwent a full set of tests before the surgery.
During the checkup, Leonino told him, “This time, you really need to relax and focus on the surgery. Don’t let anything throw you off track.” Alden simply nodded.
Leonino couldn’t shake the memory of Alden’s last surgery. Back then, Alden wasn’t in the best condition for surgery, but once he found out where Nyno was, he was desperate to go home and insisted Leonino proceed with the surgery.
Throughout the procedure, updates about Helena kept coming from home. Even while receiving treatment, Alden stayed on top of everything concerning Helena.
With so much on his mind, he couldn’t sleep. The nerves in his ears, which had just been repaired, didn’t get the rest they needed, so he hadn’t fully healed. That was also why he needed another surgery now.
Thinking about all this, Leonino shook his head and repeated his warning, feeling uneasy. “Don’t just promise to follow the rules and then do the opposite p>

“Don’t worry. I’m not alone anymore. I have to start taking better care of myself,” Alden vowed seriously.
Leonino understood what Alden meant. Since Helena still cared for him, he had begun to value himself more.
Leonino felt somewhat relieved after hearing that. He gave Alden a reassuring pat on the shoulder and advised him to take it easy for a few days. Once Alden was back to his best, they could begin the treatment.
For the next two days, Alden followed Leonino’s advice—resting and keeping his mind calm, ignoring everything else. The only thing that caught his attention was any news about Helena. Aside from calling her, Alden made sure not to miss a minute of her news broadcasts.
