In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 356
Since the bleeding, Vivienne had been especially cautious, taking medication and receiving progesterone injections on time every day. Although the cast on her leg had been removed, she dared not move around too much. Fortunately, there had been no further instances of bleeding.The doctor wiped the probe clean, set it aside, pointed at the small lump on the ultrasound screenshot, and said with a smile, "Ms. Kerrigan, look, the fetus looks quite healthy. As long as you get through the first trimester, there shouldn't be any major issues."Upon hearing that the baby was healthy, the tension in Vivienne's heart finally eased. Although Cedric had not visited during this period, he also had not mentioned anything about sending her abroad.'But... If this child is born...' Vivienne's expression changed as she thought of William, who clung to her like a detection dog. 'No, Tristan has been turned into his leverage, I mustn't let him get hold of another leverage.'Seeing her expression gro

'All my money?' Vivienne thought and bit her lip.After a momentary silence, she shook her head and said, "I don't have any money."After uttering those words, a heavy slap landed on Vivienne's cheek. Despite her cast being removed, she hadn't fully recovered, and William was powerful. With that single blow, she tumbled onto the bed, a fresh red mark instantly marring her cheek."Even if you hit me, I won't give you the money," Vivienne declared, her hand now covering her burning cheek, unable to conceal the hatred in her eyes. This wretch had destroyed her life, and she vowed not to give him a single penny.William withdrew his hand and took another bite of the apple before disdainfully looking at Vivienne, "If you don't pay me, I'll tell Cedric that Tristan is my son. I'll also tell him about how you willingly climbed into my bed and asked me to take you away back then. Let's see if Cedric will still keep you here."The threat struck a chord, igniting Vivienne's fear. Her resolu

Vivienne instinctively lowered her head. A sharp pain pierced through her momentarily, but finding no blood on her pants, she sighed in relief before collapsing onto the bed.'William won't show up for a while after getting the money. But with Cedric investigating his affairs, he must suspect the baby.' She gently caressed her flat abdomen, devoid of sensation. Soon, the panic in her eyes eased into calmness. 'I can't keep this baby. I must find a way to dispose of it without Cedric sending me away.'-At X Corp.Cedric stood before a wall, lost in thought. He didn't even hear Evander push the door open and enter until Evander called to him.His outstanding facial features gained a touch of sinister, seductive allure due to his raised brow, but his voice carried a faint chill. "Has everything been taken care of?""Yes, but... There's something you might need some time to digest first." Evander said, looking somewhat uneasy. He then lowered his head and handed over a brown paper b

"Yes, I had my friend inElmenia check. The man named William is Vivienne's ex-husband. But he was later sent to prison for domestic violence and attempted homicide. He then escaped from prison after serving six years." Linda replied.'He was locked up for six years?' Sophie counted the days while listening."So, it means Vivienne returned to Carlosia as soon as her ex was imprisoned," she concluded.'And proceeded to shatter the last hope I had for my marriage and almost killed me.'Linda nodded. "Ms. Luxford, by willingly transferring all her money to her ex, there must be something he's holding over her."'Vivienne can't possibly want to reconcile with a man who's been abusive to her, let alone hand over all her money to him. The only possibility is that William has something on her, and it's not just some minor leverage.'Sophie's and Linda's thoughts aligned perfectly.A preposterous idea flashed through Sophie's mind, its absurdity evident in the change of her expression. "

Linda couldn't help but feel worried as she watched Sophie staring at the report with a vacant expression. "Ms. Luxford, are you okay?"'Why does she look so distressed if Tristan isn't Mr. Carlson and Vivienne's son? That should be a reason to rejoice for her,' Linda pondered.Sophie snapped back to reality and forced a smile. "Linda, maybe it's not just him who's got it wrong."'I'm in the wrong too!'She had always believed that Vivienne and Tristan's appearance had ruined her marriage and happiness with Cedric. But now, she suddenly realized that all the misfortunes in her marriage were because of her and Cedric.Even without Vivienne and Tristan, they still wouldn't have been able to hold on until the end because something was missing from their marriage from the beginning. Even if there were no third person, it would have fallen apart on its own.Although Linda was rational and analytical, she lacked experience in the marriage department. There were some things she didn't q

"Mr. Carlson, are you here to pick up Ms. Kerrigan upon her discharge?""The second baby should be about three months old now. How do you plan to handle your relationship with Ms. Luxford and Ms. Kerrigan?"Previously, Cedric had announced to the media that Sophie was the only Mrs. Carlson. However, now that his former fiancée was pregnant with their second child, it was uncertain who would become Mrs. Carlson.Cedric's indifferent gaze swept over the journalists' faces. His lips parted lightly, delivering the answer they least wanted to hear, "No comment.""Mr. Carlson, do you not plan to acknowledge Ms. Kerrigan's status? Without a status, the two children might become the subjects of gossip as illegitimate children. Are you not concerned about that?"The mention of the phrase "illegitimate child" caused Cedric to frown in displeasure. His icy gaze immediately fell on the journalist who had just spoken, and the previously bustling scene fell silent instantly.'Jesus, his glare

"Aaah!"Cedric only tried to pull her away, but Vivienne seemed to have lost her balance. Her body tilted, and she rolled down the steps.Although the steps at the hospital entrance were not as high as those before courthouses and hotels, they were still designed to look elegant. Rolling down more than a dozen steps could land an ordinary person in the hospital for some time, let alone a pregnant woman recently injured and not fully recovered.The journalists surrounding them instinctively stepped back, none daring to move forward to help. They feared Cedric's potential blame if something happened to the child in Vivienne's womb.They knew Cedric's wrath would be unstoppable if they were held responsible. However, if Vivienne got hurt on her own, Cedric couldn't fault them.As Vivienne tumbled down the steps, her careful movements spared her still-recovering leg, transferring the impact to her abdomen.When her body finally stopped, the pain in her abdomen became unbearable. Her

Vivienne was rushed into the emergency room.After a short while, a nurse approached Cedric. "Mr. Carlson, Ms. Kerrigan's uterus has ruptured, and the baby no longer has a heartbeat. We need to perform cervix dilation, uterine curettage, and suture surgery. Please sign here."Cedric took the pen and signed his name."Don't worry, Mr. Carlson. I've informed the doctor," Evander reported."Okay," Cedric replied faintly, finding a chair and sitting down.His cold eyes narrowed as he stared at the operating theater's door. 'She's staged and directed such a great drama by herself. It'd be rude not to give her more spotlight.'"After the operation, let the journalists in," Cedric instructed."Understood," Evander accepted the task.-Three hours later, the operating light finally dimmed, and the doctors and nurses wheeled Vivienne out. She was awake but extremely weak, bursting into tears upon seeing Cedric and the journalists surrounding him. "My baby, my baby!""Mr. Carlson, Ms.

Tristan looked up in surprise. As if struck by a sudden thought, he glanced at Cherry, who was writhing in pain, and timidly asked, "Can I go to the hospital to help?""You need to stay home and help Cherry get a leave from school tomorrow. Be good and stay here. Trust Daddy. Cherry will be fine." Cedric's words seemed to soothe Tristan's anxiety.Avoiding Cedric’s gaze, Tristan obediently nodded. 'Cherry will surely be fine.'-The Bentley sped along the road and soon arrived at the hospital.Cedric held Cherry the entire time, while Sophie handled the paperwork. Their seamless cooperation made them seem like a perfectly ordinary married couple."Mr. Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, the child has gastritis and needs to be hospitalized for treatment," the emergency physician explained after examining Cherry, jotting down the diagnosis in the medical record.Sophie's face turned pale. 'Gastritis? How could it be so severe?'"Can she recover?" Cedric asked with a frown, his sudden intimida

In Imperium, hardly anyone else would dare yell at Cedric like this. Cedric's eyes narrowed dangerously, his shoulders radiating a cold aura. However, traces of helplessness and doting affection softened his expression. Despite his reluctance, he eventually turned aside cooperatively.Sophie couldn't help but smile. 'It's no wonder some people believe that daughters are their fathers' lovers from a previous life. If it were anyone else, Cedric would have likely thrown them out the window by now.'She lifted Cherry's clothes to reveal her round belly and gently massaged it in circles with her fingers. Taking the opportunity, she also gave Cherry a gentle reminder, "How many times has Mommy told you not to eat so much? But you never listen. Now you know how it feels when you overeat, huh?""Mommy, could you not rub salt in my wounds?" Cherry's face was scrunched up in pain. Her pitiful and aggrieved expression instantly silenced Sophie, who decided to save the scolding for when Cherry

Cedric kissed Sophie’s rosy cheeks, preparing to take things to the next level, when a knock on the door interrupted them at a crucial moment.His expression darkened immediately. No man liked being interrupted at such a time, and it had happened repeatedly."Who is it?" Sophie grabbed the blanket beside her to cover her exposed chest, her hoarse voice betraying her recent passion."Ms. Luxford... It's me." Tristan's low voice came from the other side of the door.'Tristan?' Sophie looked at the man beside her, surprised. She had assumed it was Cherry again, but unexpectedly...Gathering her scattered clothes from the floor, Sophie dressed quickly. Ensuring there was nothing inappropriate between her and Cedric, she got out of bed and walked toward the door.Tristan stood there, head down, fingers fidgeting, indicating urgency. As soon as the door opened, he looked up anxiously and said, "Ms. Luxford, could you go check on Cherry? She seems unwell.""Cherry is unwell?" The flush

"This birthday brings me a lot of happiness."Sophie grasped the deeper implications of his words. The blush on her cheeks faded slightly, and the initial flutter of excitement mingled with a touch of sadness. No one could predict what Jeff's condition would be like by her next birthday.Cedric shifted the topic, pouring the already decanted red wine into a tall glass and handing it to her. "Just one glass. This is for your private birthday celebration. Happy birthday."The intoxicating aroma of the wine was irresistible. She stopped resisting and held her glass up to gently clink against his, producing a clear, melodious sound that resonated beautifully in the quiet room.The rich wine slid down her throat, soothing her tense nerves. Her tightly held shoulders relaxed, and her racing heart found a semblance of peace. She had once believed she would never fall for Cedric again, but looking back, she realized that all her hatred had been rooted in love.He had transformed love into

Cedric seemed to know exactly what Sophie was nervous about. He raised his eyebrows suggestively, causing her to blush and quickly look away.What had happened between them lingered in the air, irrevocable.Jeff squinted, watching their subtle gestures with satisfaction. Smiling contentedly, he struggled to his feet with the help of his cane. These two had already reached a natural conclusion, and there was no need for him to exaggerate his illness any longer."Mommy, I still have homework to do. I'm heading to my room," Cherry announced, her bright eyes glancing at Tristan. She couldn't beat him at Taekwondo, but she was determined to outshine him in the midterm exams!"I’m going upstairs too," Tristan added, surprised by her sudden focus. He hesitated for a moment before quickly following her up the stairs.Melissa had long lost her patience. Without a word, she dragged Matthew upstairs, letting out a disdainful snort as they left.What had been a lively living room now left So

"Okay."Understanding Cherry’s impatience, Sophie smiled and gently pulled away from Cedric’s embrace. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.She hoped for her family's safety, health, and happiness. She wished that her parents and sister were living comfortably in another world. And she wished that she and Cedric would have a happy ending, free from past mistakes.After silently making her wishes, she blew out the flickering candles in one breath.The room filled with the faint scent of melted wax."We can eat the cake now!" Cherry beamed with joy, eagerly carrying the cake to the dining table.Her impatience made Jeff laugh heartily, his eyes crinkling with delight as he stroked his beard. "Alright, let’s start eating before this little girl drools all over the table."Sophie took her seat, glancing at Cedric, who still held her hand tightly. Her smile widened as she playfully scolded him, "Why didn’t you tell me on the way here?""If I told you, ho

Although Sophie's mind was brimming with questions, she couldn’t help but smile at Cedric's words. She looked down at their intertwined hands, feeling the warmth of his palm. Whether it was a perfect match or a union made in heaven, it all required two hearts in love. With love, even amidst turbulence, they would find the courage to move forward together.Before long, the Bentley smoothly pulled into the Carlson residence.Jeff immediately smiled and waved upon their arrival. "Soph, come over here."Sophie approached, noticing that Mrs. Carrie had prepared a table full of dishes. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. "Grandpa, what has made you so happy? Why did you ask Mrs. Carrie to make so much delicious food?""Silly girl, did you forget what day it is today?"Jeff's loving yet mischievous smile left her momentarily bewildered. Then her eyes widened in surprise. With everything going on with Linda, she had completely forgotten her own birthday!"Happy birthday." Cedric had quie

Fearing that staying any longer would only worsen the situation, Linda quickly opened the door and walked out.Fenix stood there, confusion gradually replacing the determination in his eyes."What’s wrong with marrying me?" he asked Sophie, genuinely puzzled.'I’m the CEO of Cheshire Group. I’m not unattractive, and marrying me would make her legally protected as Mrs. Cheshire. Why am I being rejected?'Sophie coughed awkwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Fenix. Sean had navigated the world of romance with ease, but Fenix seemed as naive in matters of the heart as a child."Am I really that bad?"Seeing that Fenix was still fixated on why he was rejected, Sophie shook her head. "Feelings are different from business. It’s not about racing against time or weighing benefits. You can’t apply business tactics to relationships. Spending a lifetime together requires a foundation of love.""Foundation of love? You and Cedric grew up together. You had a good foundation, but it was

Sophie's suspicion was right. Fenix was not one to easily abandon his target. After Linda ignored countless calls, he took the initiative to find her."Mr. Cheshire, Linda really isn't in the office right now," the secretary tried to block him, but it was futile against a determined man, especially one exuding an intimidating chill."Then I’ll find Sophie.""But Ms. Luxford, she—" Before the secretary could finish, Fenix's long legs had already taken him to Sophie's office door.He knocked twice before pushing it open. The secretary looked like she was about to cry. "Ms. Luxford, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Mr. Cheshire.""It’s fine. Go make Mr. Cheshire a cup of coffee," Sophie said.Seeing Fenix barge in, she raised an eyebrow, smiled, and glanced at Linda, who was hiding in her office. "Have a seat and let's talk.""No need. I have to catch a flight soon." Fenix cut straight to the point, his determined eyes fixed on Linda as he said firmly, "I need an answer from you.""Mr.
