Chapter 1232Hearing this, Catelyn was swayed.Slowly tormenting Ezekiel would not get her much pleasure, and getting her daughter back was the most important thing. So, instead of tricking Ezekiel, Catelyn gave him an address, and they agreed to meet at 3 p.m.After hanging up the phone, Catelyn excitedly jumped into Cedrick's arms and gave him a kiss on the jaw."Ced, you're great! Ezekiel really fell for it. Next, we'll wait for the meeting at 3 p.m. He said he knew Mr. Denham's whereabouts.Cedrick didn't expect Catelyn to kiss him. He held the back of her head and gave her a long, deep kiss.As his chest heaved, he slightly raised his eyebrows. "He just said that it was probably this Mr. Denham who had stolen our daughter. He is not very sure.""In that case, his claim to have a clue about Mr. Denham is a trick."Cedrick mockingly curved the corners of his mouth. "He thinks you are the one who took the bait, but actually, it was someone else."After that, Cedrick called t
Chapter 1233On the one hand, it showed Ezekiel's importance. On the other hand, it was because the other side became restless.So Ezekiel couldn't just die like that no matter what.While Eason went to round up the killer, Cedrick and Catelyn quickly called the police and intended to rush Ezekiel to the hospital.The traffic police had not yet arrived, so the scene was chaotic. Ezekiel was hit by the van and then fell to the ground, blood spilling from his lips to the ground. The van might have leaked some gasoline, so the smells of blood and gasoline mixed, which smelled extremely unpleasant...Cedrick had Ezekiel carried into a car and was about to send him to the hospital.But just as she was getting into the car, Catelyn suddenly thought of the face of the driver who had just hit Ezekiel.Although he was sitting in the van and wearing a cap, Catelyn had an impression of the driver because she had been watching the situation on Ezekiel's side...She felt that she had seen t
Chapter 1234Catelyn, of course, knew what Granny Atherton meant. Catelyn assured her, "I will protect myself, and no one can hurt me until I get my daughter back.""But I'm afraid it's hard to avoid secret enemies..." Granny Atherton was deeply worried."Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Granny, you haven't taken your blood pressure yet, right? Let me take your blood pressure!" Catelyn took the blood pressure cuff from Kelly, took Granny Atherton's arm, and started to measure her blood pressure.Granny Atherton sighed dotingly, "Every time I tell you this, you change the subject. I really don't know what Cedrick did to make you so devoted to him.""Granny, don't say that. I'm the one who owes him.""Nonsense! I only saw that he couldn't protect you and bullied you..." Granny Atherton's face tightened. She felt that her granddaughter was innocent.Catelyn stuck out her tongue and smiled.At that moment, there were noises of people playing by the outdoor pool o
Chapter 1235"I won't catch a cold... Ahchoo!" Sharon was speaking when a cool breeze tickled her nose and she couldn't help but sneeze.Everyone was quiet for two seconds. Sharon felt an icy gaze on her.Shuddering, she looked up at Edwin.Edwin's eyes flashed coldly. Sharon's smile froze, and she immediately took the bath towel from the sun lounger and wrapped it tightly around her."Kitty, why are you not at the hospital with Ezekiel but here to see me?"Catelyn shrugged. "I have too many bad memories at hospitals.""What would you like to drink?""Juice."Edwin turned his head and ordered Sharon, "Bring Kitty a glass of juice at room temperature with no ice."Sharon glared at Catelyn and squirmed in her sun lounger, not wanting to move. "Just tell the maid to do that. I'm a little cold. I don't feel like walking in the wind.""Didn't you just say that you were not afraid of the cold?" Edwin slightly raised his eyebrows, which made his eyes look even narrower and longer.
Chapter 1236Ezekiel struggled to move to the edge of the bed, but he was so weak, and the lower half of his body was numb like a stick.So he fell to the ground, wretchedly on all fours.The wound on his right leg was bleeding, staining the white gauze. The nurse was a little annoyed. She hated this kind of uncooperative patient the most. He was unlucky to lose a leg, yet at least he survived...In the end, Cedrick let Eason carry Ezekiel back to bed.Ezekiel lay on the bed, his face pale and his eyes wide open. When he saw Catelyn and Cedrick, Ezekiel suddenly cried and laughed as if he had gone mad.As a result, his condition worsened. Unable to breathe, he could only open his mouth wide for air.He looked very comical."Cat, you said you would protect me!" Ezekiel, who managed to catch his breath, ranted at Catelyn, "I'm crippled now! I can't stand up anymore!"It was easy to play dumb.Catelyn pretended to shed tears as if she couldn't bear to see his miserable state. "I
Chapter 1237"I originally wanted to take this information to negotiate with Mr. Denham for my life, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel!"Cat, Cedrick, I told you all that I know. You must avenge me!"Hearing such a long story from Ezekiel, Catelyn realized the purpose of his fake death and escape five years ago.It turned out that Ezekiel fled from Sapphire City not because of the so-called murder case, but because he wanted to escape from Mr. Denham, so Mr. Denham had been hunting Cedrick for five years.At this thought, Catelyn felt a chill down her spine...She stared at Ezekiel coldly.Clearly, according to what had happened in Fidelysia, Summer was kidnapped and tortured by Ezekiel on her way back to Sapphire City from Fidelysia, and Summer gave birth to Catelyn in grief and anger.In order to save Catelyn's life, Summer knelt to Ezekiel and begged for mercy.But in the end, Summer somehow managed to escape and left Catelyn to Ezekiel.Ezekiel raised Catelyn just to
Chapter 1238Catelyn took a picture of Ezekiel lying in bed and waved it in front of his eyes."It will be fun if this picture is published in the newspaper and everyone in Sapphire City knows that Ezekiel, who was once a successful businessman, is now half paralyzed, right?""Ah... Ah..." Ezekiel could only make such sounds, pathetic and hateful.Catelyn quietly watched his chest heave violently, her heart aching.Although she hated him, she had the last bit of affection for him. She used to worship him, so after knowing that she had been cheated, she was heartbroken.Cedrick reached out and swept her into his arms, patting her back soothingly.Nothing was said, but no sound was better than a sound."Morning rounds." At that moment, a rhythmic knock sounded at the door."Come in," Cedrick said indifferently.The bodyguard pushed open the door, and an attending doctor with two nurses walked in. Everyone was stunned to see Ezekiel lying on the bed, twitching as if he had a str
Chapter 1239All of this was because of Ezekiel's morbid love for Summer.Now he died.His morbid love stopped, and he was relieved.Catelyn hoped that the disgusting things he had done to Summer would be forgotten by everyone.Cedrick soon returned to the ward with lingering anger on his face. Catelyn guessed that maybe the doctor and nurses had fled away, but unexpectedly, Cedrick told her that one of the nurses had committed suicide.Eason was rounding them up when one of the nurses killed herself.The doctor and the other nurse were presumably innocent. They did not know that Ezekiel was dead.Seeing Ezekiel lying straight on the bed without breathing, Cedrick frowned slightly, but he did not ask about Ezekiel. Cedrick stared at Catelyn. "Are you okay?""Yes, of course. I feel wonderful." Catelyn stubbornly and calmly looked at Ezekiel's gradually cold body. "My mom's tormentor is dead, and I don't have to call my enemy Dad anymore..."She sounded composed, but Cedrick no
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
