Chapter 513:
Meanwhile, Helena tended to Alden’s injury.
It wasn’t serious. After he punched Henrik, his knuckles were red and swollen from the impact.
It didn’t hurt much, but Helena held Alden’s hand firmly, gently blowing on his fingers after rubbing in some ointment. He looked as fragile as a porcelain vase.
Alden welcomed her care without hesitation. Every now and then, they shared a few quiet, tender words.
“You’re way too reckless! If you wanted to teach Henrik a lesson, you should’ve sent your men. Why did you have to do it yourself?” Helena chided softly.
Alden just smiled and asked, “How’s your mother holding up p>
“My mom…” Helena let out a heavy sigh. “She was ice-cold toward me earlier today. People don’t just flip overnight like that. I think she’s battling some kind of mental trouble p>
Even though she was concerned about Natalie, she figured nothing serious would happen as long as Kareem was around.
After a moment, Helena asked, “Alden, speaking of mental trouble… How’s your mom? Has she recovered p>
Alden let out a soft sigh when he spoke about his mother. “She’s stopped taking all those toxic pills from Zayden and is almost back to normal. But Zayden tried something on the plane. It didn’t kill us, but it left a dark mark on her mind p>
Still, Delaney wasn’t afraid for herself at all.
The failed attempt to kill them made her believe her son had been targeted once again. Terrified, she suffered another mental breakdown. After sharing the details with Helena, worried she might get upset, Alden reassured her, “I’ve sent people to watch over her. Don’t stress too much. Also, I’ve already started hitting back at Zayden. Things will move forward soon p>
He gave a faint smile. “By the way, the secret weapon against Zayden is that piece of land you asked for from him p>
“That lot p>
When Helena had asked for the lot, she had only thought it was in a great location. She never imagined it could be so important.

Helena looked at Alden in disbelief. “Is that piece of land really that crucial p>
“Yeah,” Alden said with a grin, resting his arm on Helena’s shoulders. He continued softly, “Helena, your business sense is incredibly sharp. Just a tiny step, and you could seize Zayden’s very lifeblood p>
“You’re blowing it out of proportion!” Helena replied, feeling a little embarrassed.
But Alden held her tighter, his voice lowering to a soft whisper. “I’m serious. You’re way more remarkable than you think. Truly p>
Helena’s cheeks flushed as his gaze locked onto hers, the distance between them shrinking. The room seemed to fill with a gentle glow, wrapping them in a cozy closeness.
After the intimacy, Helena’s voice grew thick as she hesitated before saying she wanted to see Alden’s mother, Delaney.
Alden thought about his mom and paused, a flicker of doubt crossing his face. “Your parents’ affairs are already enough to burden you. I’ll look after my mother. No need to fret over her p>
