Chapter 1172 Catelyn knew she'd screwed things up.Braylon hadn't left yet. The four looked at each other, various expressions in their eyes. Braylon walked over to Catelyn. He glanced at Catelyn and then at Cedrick. "You know each other?" Catelyn nodded awkwardly. "He's my husband." Cedrick walked over to Catelyn, one hand in his pants pocket. He gave Braylon a slight nod as a greeting. Then he turned to Catelyn and asked in a calm manner, "Aren't you going to introduce us?" Catelyn's heart sank. 'Cedrick is angry!' "This is... This is Mr. President." "Is that all?" Cedrick raised his eyebrows and asked. Braylon was also shocked. When he was talking with Catelyn in the private room earlier, he had only learned that Catelyn was married, but he was surprised that Catelyn's husband was Cedrick! No wonder he felt hostility when he first met Cedrick. 'My daughter is already married to this guy!' "I'm Catelyn's father!" Braylon introduced himself. Actual
Chapter 1173 "I had no intention of admitting he was my father." Catelyn explained, "I only planned to have lunch with him and ask him if I could have Yael examine my mom..." Catelyn knew Cedrick was concerned that she would be in danger if her identity was revealed, so she immediately assured him, "I'll be careful later. I'll stay home every day. I'm not going anywhere. Okay?" "Then go back to Sapphire City with me," Cedrick demanded abruptly, "Yael will handle everything here." It wasn't a request, but an order. Catelyn frowned. "My mom is in a terrible condition. She needs me here. If you force me to go back to Sapphire City now, you'd better tell Yael not to come. If I'm not around when he gets here, what's the point in getting him here?" One of the reasons Carrey got sick was that she lost Catelyn when Catelyn was little. Therefore, Catelyn had to be around her when Yael was treating Carrey... 'If I leave Fidelysia, how can Yael treat my mom alone? "That
Chapter 1174 Catelyn was startled by the thunder and she woke up. She felt a pain in her belly as if something was pulling her baby down... She felt the blanket with her hand and realized that her water had broken. 'Is the baby coming? 'When I had Miles and Ollie, the same thing happened.' Catelyn fumbled with her phone. She gulped for air in pain. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly. When she got up, she lost her balance and fell off the bed onto the carpet. Fortunately, the carpet was soft. Buds of sweat were pouring out of her forehead... Fortunately, she grabbed her cell phone. She called Cedrick... Beep-- beep—beep -- The phone went unanswered. Only the dialing tone was ringing. The rainstorm was raging outside with occasional lightning. Catelyn thought Cedrick didn't hear the call because he was asleep. She continued to call him, an anxious look in her eyes. But after a few seconds of ringing, Cedrick’s phone was turned off. Catelyn's heart sank
Chapter 1175 "Don't be afraid. Relax. Breathe. You'll be fine." The doctor encouraged Catelyn as she leaned forward to her and gently brushed her cheek with her hands. Another female doctor cried out in surprise, "I can see the baby's head, but she seems to be stuck there! Push! Or the baby will suffocate..." Catelyn was sweating profusely. Her eyes became blurry. "Save the baby... If anything goes wrong, save the baby..." "Don't give up... Breathe! That's it! Come on!" "Ah--" Catelyn breathed in rhythm with the doctor’s instruction. A gentle woman's face appeared in her mind. It became clearer and clearer. It was her mom. Carrey whispered in her ear, "You can do it, honey." Catelyn clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and then… Finally, the baby's cries rang out in the delivery room. Catelyn was drenched in sweat. Her head went blank and her hands dropped... The female doctor quickly held the baby to Catelyn's face and showed her the baby. "Congratul
Chapter 1176 Catelyn had a sinking feeling. She shook her head repeatedly. She didn't want to believe her feelings... "Dad, where is my daughter? Bring her here and let me see her. I want to see her!" Catelyn begged Braylon as she tried to sit up from the bed. Braylon was afraid to hurt her after she had just given birth, so he didn’t dare use force when he held her in bed. Catelyn was about to get up. "I heard from Alfred that the Mason family carries a genetic disease... Cat, it is fate. The baby stopped breathing as soon as it was born." Braylon's eyes welled up with tears. His heart ached when he told Catelyn the truth. 'The baby stopped breathing?' Catelyn froze. She shook Braylon's hand incredulously. "Daddy, you're kidding, right?" The room was silent. Catelyn looked at Alfred with a pleading look. The grief in Alfred's eyes confirmed Braylon's words. Catelyn's body shook. She screamed, "No, it can't be true. You're lying to me. I heard her cry
Chapter 1177 Alfred felt guilty. He thought if he had gone to the hotel a little earlier, maybe the baby would have survived. Braylon pointed to the nameplate on the baby's ankle and said, "This really is your baby." Every newborn baby had a nameplate with their name on it hanging from their ankle. Since Catelyn hadn't told them the baby's name, Alfred gave the baby the name Cattie. The nameplate on the baby's ankle read Cattie, so Alfred believed it was Catelyn's daughter. "I'm not lying. She was in my belly for nine months. I could feel her breathing. This baby is definitely not my baby!" Braylon frowned fiercely. "Are you suspecting that someone had replaced your baby with this dead baby?" Catelyn asked, "Have you gotten through to Cedrick?" Alfred froze. "Are you suspecting that Cedrick took the baby away? That's crazy!" "He's been trying to take me back to Sapphire City, so Yael can monitor the baby's condition at all times. Yael didn't come to Sapphire
Chapter 1178 The doctors immediately shut their mouths. Only Yael calmly walked up to Cedrick and said, "I have a bold idea, but I need your approval." Cedrick glanced at the other doctors behind Yael, who had been in charge of Draco's health. "Excuse us." The doctors looked at each other and then left with reluctance. Yael continued, "I've seen Grandpa Mason's report and the DTI scans. Grandpa Mason has a lot of tumors in his head, which is the most dangerous kind of brain cancer. If we don't do anything about that, Grandpa Mason might only have one- or two-month life." Cedrick was silent. He went to fumble for his cigarette in his pocket. "Actually, I understand why the other doctors have been opposed to giving Grandpa Mason surgery. The surgery may fail, but if we don't give him surgery, Grandpa Mason will definitely die." Cedrick's brows furrowed tightly. He stopped lighting his cigarette. "What's your thinking?" "According to the report, the cancer is
Chapter 1179Cedrick’s image was reflected in the broken mirror. He took a deep breath and dialed Charles's number. "Make an appointment with the prison. I want to see Ezekiel in half an hour." ... The night was particularly long. Catelyn didn’t sleep well all night. In her dreams, she was in a heavy fog and a baby kept calling out to her mom in a sweet voice. She wanted to go through the fog to find her daughter, but she couldn't get out of the fog... Suddenly, she woke up from the nightmare, sweating profusely. "Ms. Clark, what's wrong?" Karlie was standing guard outside Catelyn's room. Hearing Catelyn's screams, Karlie rushed in to check on Catelyn immediately. The lights were turned on and Catelyn's long hair drooped over her shoulders. She looked haggard. She covered her face with both hands and was sobbing... She didn't know where her daughter was now and what could have happened to the baby. "You've just had a baby. It's not good to cry..." Se
Chapter 1943"Just 999 dollars! It will bring you a long, happy life together."The vendor stared at Catelyn with eager eyes, frantically trying to sell his products.Cedrick looked down at Catelyn tenderly and asked, "Do you like it?"Catelyn picked up a charm to take a look, smiling, "It's not bad, but is it too expensive?"The charm was a good symbol. However, it was just casually made, not worth that much. This vendor was clearly trying to rip them off."As long as you like it, it has value."Cedrick raised his chin. Eason immediately handed over 10 hundred-dollar bills.The vendor gazed at the dollar bills with glowing eyes, took them with trembling hands, and chose a perfect charm for Catelyn and Cedrick.Cedrick took the charm and connected Catelyn's hand and his with it.His long, slender fingers moved. Even the slightest movement was very pleasant. Coupled with the romantic atmosphere, it was so beautiful.Joanne got excited as she watched them, clamoring, "I want o
Chapter 1942"Oh my, Evelyn made the shop assistant kneel to put her shoes on? That was too much! Does she think she's a noble princess?""Check out this video. Evelyn framed Mrs. Mason at the mall with a big belly.""Even a beast won't harm its children. Evelyn risked her child's life! How can she be so cruel?""Bah! Mr. Mason is handsome and rich. Evelyn actually cheated on him!""Her lover is too ugly. Evelyn has terrible taste.""Ahhh, Evelyn moaned so lewdly in the video. How can this man compare to Mr. Mason? I want to vomit..."As people online questioned and criticized Evelyn, her reputation completely collapsed, and she quickly became notorious.Cedrick became the victim of this incident.Cedrick sat in the car, looking at the responses on the Internet. He nodded and said, "You did a good job."To create the illusion that Evelyn cheated on Cedrick, Eason used AI technology to change Ralph's face into a stranger's in the videos of Evelyn and him having sex. "Thank
Chapter 1941Evelyn's voice paused, and her eyes were vicious and angry as she questioned hysterically, "But I did everything out of love for you!"Cedrick wanted to laugh. "Thank you, Ms. Swan. Although your love makes me sick, I have kindly prepared a gift for you."Evelyn looked at him in fear and confusion when she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.The visitor was just as tall, straight, and handsome as Cedrick. It was amazing to see any difference in their appearance."It's you? You're Ralph?" exclaimed Evelyn, her stomach lurching.For so many nights, she had sex with Ralph, the imposter. No wonder the baby she gave birth to was so disgusting too."Little bitch, long time no see. I missed you so much."Ralph grinned and walked toward Evelyn with lustful eyes."Go away! Go away!"Evelyn frantically waved her pillow, trying to repel Ralph, but these attacks were like a kitten's playing in Ralph's eyes.Ralph smiled evilly, dragged Evelyn down from the hospi
Chapter 1940A few seconds later, she tore up the piece of paper regardless and looked at Cedrick with crazy eyes, "I'm your wife! It's Mrs. Mason in name only! All of this is a lie. My daughter is your child! And could only be your child!"Cedrick sneered, his deep eyes icy, "Think what you want, as long as you're happy."His voice was deep, pleasant, and charming, but what he said sent chills down Evelyn's spine.Evelyn looked at him incredulously. The smile on Cedrick's lips became even more fascinating. "There's something I forgot to mention. Are you sure the person you married is me? My wife is Catelyn from the beginning."Previous images flashed through Evelyn's mind. She thought of Cedrick's different attitudes. His passion, his impatience... Scene by scene, frame by frame, it was like a horrible movie, making her shiver."Cedrick, you indeed lied to me..."Evelyn stared at Cedrick with hatred, her eyes paranoid and mad."Even if my child is not yours and I didn't marry
Chapter 1939"I'm satisfied," Cedrick smiled dangerously, his eyes emotional.It was a smile that made Evelyn feel extremely alarmed."Then ... show me the baby."Cedrick looked at Evelyn condescendingly, his deep eyes full of coldness. "Eason."Eason respectfully carried the baby over to the hospital bed. "Mrs. Mason, please."Evelyn took the child in surprise and lifted the swaddling blanket on the baby.Although it was a girl, Evelyn gave birth to her. Naturally, Evelyn loved her.Yet the moment she saw the baby's face, Evelyn's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the baby away, leaning down and vomiting."No, it's not my baby! It's not my baby!"'How can she possibly be my child?' The baby was deformed. Her little face was bruised. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all tightly grown together. She looked extraordinarily horrible..."Mrs. Mason, this is your baby!"Eason nimbly caught the baby that almost fell to the floor and brought it back to Evelyn."Take her a
Chapter 1938"Now, all of you, stop talking nonsense and do your job. We'll have an easy time when she has given birth."The doctor reprimanded and turned to go back to his office.Inside the room, Evelyn scrolled through the videos and news with a bitter smile.These days after she came back, Cedrick visited her every day and was photographed by many reporters and media. Now the news was all about her and Cedrick being in love.Yet only she knew that Cedrick always left soon after he came, never staying longer than fifteen minutes.'Is it really because he's too busy working?'When she thought of Summer and Braylon, who came in and out together affectionately, a glint of jealousy flashed in Evelyn's eyes.If only Cedrick could always stay by her side as Braylon did to Summer.Soon, it was Evelyn's due date."Cedrick, I'm so scared..."Evelyn grabbed Cedrick's sleeve, sweating in pain. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh
Chapter 1937The nurse rushed to support Evelyn.Evelyn looked flustered and headed back to the ward."Has anyone touched my things?"Evelyn came back like a different person. The condescension she had when she first arrived disappeared.'Braylon is no ordinary man. What if he really wants to help Summer get back at me?'Evelyn subconsciously rubbed her belly. She mustn't let anything happen to her child. She called the nurse and said coldly, "Ask the doctor to come here! I suspect someone has poisoned me."The nurse gave her a frightened look and murmured, "Mrs. Mason, how is this possible?""I don't care! Go get the doctor to check everything in the room. I will not allow anyone to hurt my child!" Evelyn yelled in a stern voice as her eyes went crazy.The nurse called the doctor in fear, and the doctor came, checked everything, and said resignedly, "Mrs. Mason, we assure you that everything here is qualified and absolutely free of any harmful substances. You can relax."Eve
Chapter 1936Evelyn nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Did Cedrick arrange this for me?"Eason thought to himself, 'Mr. Mason has no time for her.' Yet he smiled, "Of course, Mrs. Mason. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."Evelyn smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. There are so many nurses here. They can take care of me."Cedrick had arranged the best labor and delivery room for Evelyn. Three nurses worked 24-hour shifts, so she would have someone to serve her at any time.Evelyn walked into the glass corridor, looking out at the sunshine and green grass. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure."Who's that woman on the bench?"Evelyn's eyes went cold as she frowned and asked the young nurse next to her.The young nurse came over and asked with a puzzled look, "Mrs. Mason, which one do you mean?" "The old woman on the bench."A sneer appeared on Evelyn's lips, and her tone was acerbic.The nurse gave Evelyn a surprised look. "This lady is Mrs. Hensley, who live
Chapter 1935Cedrick was silent for a moment, counting the time. Indeed, Evelyn's due date was approaching.The smile on his mouth grew colder as he thought about what was going to happen."I'll have Eason pick you up.""I know you're busy. It's okay to have Eason pick me up, but I want to see you as soon as I get back."Evelyn smiled sweetly, not bothering with these details.As long as Cedrick cared about her, it was the same whoever came to pick her up.Evelyn touched her round belly, and her expectant face gradually became worried.'It's said that a sharp belly predicts a son and that a round belly predicts a daughter. My belly is so round. Will I have a daughter?'Meanwhile, Cedrick hung up the phone, casually threw it to the bedside, lay back down, and pulled the soft Catelyn into his arms.Half asleep, Catelyn heard Evelyn speaking arrogantly on the phone and slumped against Cedrick's chest."Evelyn's coming back?"Cedrick nodded slightly, a little impatient. "She's
