Chapter 1441

Joanne was taken to have an X-ray. Her sprained ankle was caught in the door again. Although it did not hurt her bone, it severely injured her ankle. And her fair ankle was covered in bruises. It looked awful. She had to take some time to recover.

As the doctor bandaged her, she couldn't help but huff as he wrapped her ankle in gauze. Her forehead was covered with sweat.

She clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.

Edwin remembered Joanne couldn’t bear the slightest bit of pain in the past.

She used to close her eyes tightly and moan when the doctor gave her a shot. Now she was hurting so badly, but she didn't make a sound. What had happened to her in the past four years? What had changed her so drastically?

Edwin put his arm to her mouth and said, "You can bite my arm if you can't stand the pain."

Joanne snorted, "Get away from me. You're dirty."

Edwin's hand paused in the air, and his eyes darkened. His handsome face clouded over, but he wasn't an

    Chapter 1442"Thank you. I'm flattered."Joanne's indifferent attitude made Edwin's guilt turn into unhappiness. He frowned. "If you hadn't run away at that time, you wouldn't have been hurt."People tended to blame the victims.At that time, if Joanne had not run, she would have been raped by Edwin.She felt it was not even worth it to fight with him and be angered by him.Joanne stopped paying attention to Edwin.Edwin seemed to realize now was not the right time to say that, so he went to the side, got a glass of water, thoughtfully put a straw in it, and brought the glass to her mouth. "Your mouth is dry. Drink some water to moisten it."Joanne didn't open her mouth, hating herself for being weak.Edwin coaxed in a low voice, "There's no point in getting angry with me and making things difficult for yourself."Joanne still did not open her mouth.Edwin's eyes darkened, and his mellow voice sounded again. "You said that you had come to the hospital because of me, didn't y

    Chapter 1443…Joanne's eyes narrowed with fury, as if she could bore holes into him with her gaze alone, yearning to douse his face with a full glass of water.In this peculiar atmosphere, the doctor finally finished tending to all her injuries. Heaving a sigh of relief, he interjected, "You're so devoted to your girlfriend, Mr. Atherton, and Miss, you're truly fortunate."Edwin appeared to have a wife in name only, but since he had kissed this woman, it seemed fitting to call her his girlfriend.Joanne immediately countered, her voice laced with annoyance, "Doctor, you're mistaken. I don't even know him.""Uh..." Hadn't they just shared a kiss?The doctor couldn't quite grasp the complexities of modern youth.Edwin, however, was quite pleased with the doctor's assumption. "You're not wrong. She is my girlfriend. She is just acting up." With that, he wrapped an arm around Joanne's shoulder and asked, "Are you still thirsty?""Get lost!" Joanne didn't bother hiding her revulsi

    Chapter 1444Sharon exploded with rage, "Who is that woman?"  Teresa reassured her in a mild tone, "I took this picture at great risk. If Mr. Atherton finds out I had taken this picture and shows it to you, then I..."  "I'll pass word to the director in charge of the show to be kind to you. Now can you tell me?" Sharon said through gritted teeth.  "It’s Joanna," Teresa whispered, "She seems to be injured. Mr. Atherton took her to the hospital. They seem very close."  "No way. Are you sure it was Joanna?" Sharon yelled, "Mr. Atherton taught her a lesson for me at the mall the other day. How could he be close to her?"  "I sent you the picture. You can see for yourself. I ran into them and I said hi to her."  Hearing Teresa so sure, Sharon bluntly swept all the stuff off the table. Her face contorted with wrinkles and she said viciously, "Keep an eye on them. If you see them again, tell me immediately."  Teresa didn't dare offend Edwin, so she tried to find an excuse to ref

    Chapter 1445As she turned over, her delicate lips were revealed. They were slightly open, from which a light snoring sound escaped. Her crimson lips were inviting, and Edwin casually took two steps forward.Joanne's body was emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, and Edwin's fingers brushed her long fine hair.He repeated his motion.He avariciously stared at her sleeping face, trying to smooth the folds between her eyebrows.However, just as his fingertips were about to touch her cheek, Joanne's phone suddenly rang on the bedside table.Edwin's first thought was to reject the call. He didn't want her to be disturbed at such a late hour.But Joanne didn't sleep too deeply. When the phone rang, she was awakened.In the dark night, she suddenly saw a robust figure at the head of the bed. Her face paled, and she subconsciously tried to call out to the nurse."Relax, it's me." Edwin turned on the bed lamp.The warm light lit up, and the ward was instantly bright. Joanne made out

    Chapter 1446Just as Edwin was about to count to three, her brain reacted faster than her body. Joanne blurted out, "Okay! You can stay as long as you give me back my phone!"Who exactly was calling that made this calm woman panic like this?A ray of light flashed across Edwin's eyes as he slowly lowered his hand.Joanna's eyes were glued to the phone.She was about to get it back when Edwin's thumb fell on the Answer button."What are you doing? Don't answer it.""Mmm."Joanne's exclamation and a soft sigh in the receiver instantly overlapped. Edwin had broken his promise!He turned his palm in a circle and brought the phone back to his ear.He wanted to see who it was that made Joanna so nervous.Except for Patrick or Jack...How many others was she hiding?Joanne had the urge to jump out of bed to grab the phone, but the injury to her right foot held her down. She could only hold her breath, afraid that Tail would hear her voice and call her mom. She prayed that the p

    Chapter 1447Joanne stifled any sound that might reach the girl's ears, biting her lower lip fiercely. Her eyes bore into Edwin like daggers, accusing him of his shamelessness.Edwin, not wanting to see her tears or vulnerability, decided to drop the matter of the girl's identity. Swiftly, he scooped Joanne up and placed her back on the bed."Alright, alright, I won't fight you for the phone."Meanwhile, far away in Mourpa, Tail pouted for getting no response from Edwin."Are you still there?""Did you lie to me?""Hmph!""Uncle Patrick... Uncle Patrick."The sound of the little girl's footsteps echoed, followed by the creak of a door opening.It seemed she was off to find Patrick.Soon after, Patrick's voice, tinged with a hint of laziness, came through the receiver. "Baby, what's the matter?""There's a weird man who keeps asking who I am. It's so strange. Am I being tricked?" Tail cooed, handing the phone to Patrick.Cradling Tail in the crook of his arm, Patrick chuckl

    Chapter 1448To avoid trouble, Joanne casually chatted with Patrick for a while and then hung up the phone.She broke into a cold sweat unknowingly.Joanne thought, 'I must protect my deary.'She breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze on her. Joanne looked over and saw Edwin's sharp, searching eyes.He asked doubtfully, "Who is the 'deary' on your phone, Patrick or that little girl?"Joanne's heart lurched. She raised her eyebrows slowly. "Does it matter to you?""Of course." Edwin's eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned down and said word for word, "Patrick is already Ms. Brown's fiancé. Based on your messy relationship with Jack, this deary cannot be him, so it could only be that little girl. How is she related to you? Why do you call her so intimately?"Sure enough, Edwin didn't believe Patrick's words. Joanne got nervous."Patrick has said she is his daughter. Why can't I call her intimately? I am naturally fond of children. They are like angels. I can call

    Chapter 1449The clear moonlight shone on his tall body.He was slender, and his gait was steady, but his eyes were turning red...Joanne stared at his back fading away.'What does he mean by "you even abandoned me"?'He wanted to divorce me because he thought I had slept with Patrick, and he had hit men come after me to protect the Atherton family's reputation.'Is there anything I don't know?'No, there can't be.'Even so, why is he with Sharon?'He's just a playboy.'Joanne covered her pounding heart and went back to sleep, but she kept tossing and turning. Then she saw the latest entertainment news on Twitter, the most eye-catching of which was about Edwin. The misleading headline said that he had gone to a hospital late at night with his new love who might be pregnant.Joanne was already unable to sleep. When she saw the news, she was wide awake.She clicked on the news and saw that it was indeed about her and Edwin.Someone posted a picture of Edwin hugging her in th

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

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.

    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

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.

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.
