In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 391
"Is Dr. Zegler still here? Please ask him to come over, and also notify the Carlsons." Sophie said as she got up from the bed, distancing herself from Cedric.However, her heart was still pounding rapidly because of the kiss."Okay, I'll go get Dr. Zegler right away." The nurse came in hurriedly and dashed out even more anxiously.Dr. Zegler had already gone home after work, but upon hearing the news, he rushed to the hospital immediately. After examining Cedric carefully, a smile gradually spread across his face.-"Dr. Zegler, how's Cedric?" Melissa had rushed to the hospital upon learning her son had woken up. She could not hold back her excitement and tears, disregarding her grace."Don't worry, Madam Carlson, Mr. Carlson's condition turns out much more optimistic than I expected. His consciousness is very clear, and his bodily functions are much stronger compared to similar patients when they awaken from a coma. Mr. Carlson is indeed an extraordinary person—even his ability

"What?! Your father's awake? Really? Cedric has woken up? That's great!" Vivienne's expression froze for a moment before a look of ecstatic joy spread across her face.However, this only intensified Tristan's despair. When he had been comatose and nearly died previously, his mother hadn't shown this level of happiness upon his awakening.Lost in her ecstasy, Vivienne failed to notice Tristan's changing expression. She removed the needle from the back of her hand and struggled to rise from the bed. "I need to see Cedric. I'm the only one who should be with him.""Mom, that's enough!" Tristan's slender frame blocked her path, his usually composed face now tinged with anger."Have you not done enough? Haven't you lost enough? Why are you still this stubborn? Mom, I'll wait for you to get out of prison. Then we can leave this place and start a new life, okay?" His once innocent eyes were filled with sadness. He looked up and pleaded, "I don't want a father anymore. I just want my mothe

"No, it's not like that. You did love me. We were together in college! I know I made mistakes, but everything I did was to stay by your side!" Vivienne was on the verge of bursting into tears.Cedric's furrowed brows tightened as the most childish mistake of his life was brought up. "If you think I truly loved you because of that, I apologize. But I didn't date you out of love—it was just to provoke Sophie. I didn't want to admit that I had fallen in love with her first, nor did I want to accept Grandpa's arrangement. I also didn't want her to be with me just because it was expected of her."He just had not anticipated that one youthful mistake would lead to the current situation, and even nearly cause the death of the person he deeply loved."You're lying! You're lying!" Despite having received the same answer before, Vivienne still could not accept it. She shook her head vigorously, eventually slumping to the floor.Deep down, however, she knew more than anyone else that this man

Tristan's small face bore an unusually calm expression, so serene that the subsequent sound of his voice felt unnervingly tranquil. "Mom, I preferred being Ricky over being Tristan. I was so happy as Ricky, but as Tristan, I just feel sadness."Vivienne appeared as though she had been hit with a sudden shock, her anger and frenzy quenched as if by a deluge of icy water. Her eyes reddened instantly. "It's Mommy's fault. Mommy has faced hardships in life, and I don't want you to experience the same. I may have used you, but I truly love you."How could she not love the child she had carried to full term, enduring all the struggles of pregnancy and childbirth?"I know, so please don't do anything bad again." Tristan's tears streaked down his calm yet tense face.The guard, who had gotten his wound treated, stood behind him, watching Vivienne, who had hurt him. He gnashed his teeth hatefully but could only act professionally, "Vivienne Kerrigan, please return to your ward immediately."

Vivienne withdrew her gaze and turned to Cedric. "Cedric, I know you hate me, but for the sake of my sincere love for you, can you take good care of Tristan for me? Consider it my birthday present for him this year.""I don't want a birthday present! I only want you to be with me!" Tristan's tiny hands trembled incessantly at his sides, yet he dared not step forward, resigned to endure in fear.Vivienne's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Mommy doesn't deserve to be with you anymore. Ricky, I'm sorry. Sophie, though you're the person I've hated most, today I ask you for a favor. Please, take care of Ricky for me. Can you promise?"All the anger and hatred within Sophie suddenly dissipated, replaced by tears in her eyes. After a prolonged silence, she met Vivienne's hopeful gaze and replied, "To me, he's always been an innocent and pitiable child.""Thank you," Vivienne whispered, a smile playing on her lips as the wind rustled around her, growing louder and brisker. The madness in her

Five days later.The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blew repeatedly, but it could not disperse the large dark clouds looming overhead.Evander supported Cedric, dressed in a black suit with a small white flower pinned to his blazer.Tristan was also dressed in black, his slender body standing straight as he calmly gazed at the photo on the tombstone, not shedding a single tear.His mother had left him with a birthday he would never forget: Making him an abandoned child."Mr. Carlson, we can leave now," Evander said with a sigh.Even though Vivienne had brought it upon herself, her sudden absence still brought a sense of sorrow.Cedric nodded, turned to look at Tristan, reached out, and took his tiny hand. "Let's go home already.""Home?" Tristan looked a little confused."Yes, home. From now on, wherever I am, it'll be your home too," Cedric reassured.After five years of being father and son, even though they were not biologically related, they had formed a bond. Moreover

Jeff frowned as he noticed her targeting Sophie again. "What's wrong with Mrs. Carrie cooking for Soph at her place? If Cedric wants to eat her cooking, he can go over at any time. It's not like he doesn't have legs."Melissa wanted to retort but was stopped by Matthew who grabbed her arm. "Father is right. If Cedric wants to eat what Mrs. Carrie cooks, he can always go over.""How's that the same!?" Melissa stomped on his foot in frustration.'Damn it! Could he also want Sophie to return to this family?'"Tristan must be hungry. Let's eat," Matthew intervened, excusing himself and heading to the dining room first.On one side was his biological father, and on the other side was his wife. He did not want to offend either of them.After dinner, Matthew took Tristan to see his newly decorated bedroom.Cedric wanted to follow them to take a look but was stopped by Jeff."Cedric, come to the study with me," Jeff said.Cedric followed him into the study, and Jeff closed the door be

The news of Vivienne's suicide went from dominating headlines to gradually losing its heat in just under two weeks. She was already gone, and people could not be bothered to waste their time and energy talking about a dead person endlessly.Sophie lowered her gaze to the business report in her hands, everything seemingly back to normal.However, it made Jeanna frown involuntarily. Even though Vivienne was dead, the aftermath lingered. Witnessing someone die in front of her was a dreadful experience, worse than being plotted against, and she knew it too well.Jeanna tried to bring up a different subject. "Linda, it's been a while since the company had a team-building event. As the CEO's secretary, you can't neglect the welfare of the company's employees just to please the CEO."Linda caught her gaze and turned to Sophie. "Ms. Luxford, we actually had planned a team-building event for the employees at the end of last month, but..."With Cedric and Sophie involved in the previous inc

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.
