Chapter 1763According to the map and the explanation from Keven, it would take another day or two to reach the village.That night, Cedrick and the others had to set up camp in a comparatively safer forest.They had planned to camp in a cave.But the trees there were too dense, and the nearest cave they found was too dark and deep. No one could tell if it was safe inside.So, instead of wasting time exploring, they found a comparatively safer place to camp and rest.They let someone keep watch all night.At night, the group lit two blazing bonfires to drive away insects and beasts and keep themselves warm.Cedrick was still trying to persuade Catelyn to go back."We're already deep inside. If I go back, it will take at least a day, and we might encounter the same dangers we faced on the way back. Are you willing to take that risk?" Catelyn snuggled up to him.The warm flicker of the firelight enhanced her beauty, casting a captivating and enchanting glow upon her flawless fa
Chapter 1764Cedrick unzipped Catelyn’s tent and saw her nestling in the sleeping bag and sleeping soundly.Catelyn’s pretty mouth was opened slightly, and she snored adorably.She had secretly tailed them for the whole day. To catch up with them, she even carried essential drugs and basic survival nutrition. She was exhausted.Cedrick was worried about her and carried her in his arms silently.Feeling Cedrick’s warm chest, Catelyn rubbed herself against his chest subconsciously and muttered unconsciously, “No... I don’t want to leave... Ceddy...”He thought that she had woken up. However, when he looked down at her, he found that she was talking in her sleep!‘In her sleep, she is still afraid that I will drive her away.‘Alright, she wins.‘Now that she’s reluctant to leave, I will solve the problem with her together no matter how dangerous it will be.’Cedrick carried Catelyn to his tent which was specially customized. It was comfortable and large. As soon as Catelyn lay o
Chapter 1765"I'm not a bad guy. You've got the wrong person... Ceddy, wake up. Let go of me..." No matter how Catelyn explained, Cedrick still lost his reason and turned a deaf ear. Instead, he pinched her harder and tried to strangle her to death. She couldn't even shout for help if she wanted to... Just when Catelyn thought she was likely to die... Bang! Suddenly, there was the sound of a hard object hitting Cedrick’s head. Catelyn saw that Cedrick's gloomy face suddenly became stiff, and then he fainted and fell on her. Keven froze for a moment, then quickly threw the flashlight in his hand, and hurriedly went to see Catelyn. "Mrs. Mason, are you all right?" "I'm fine..." Catelyn touched her neck, coughed several times, and then moved Cedrick aside. Catelyn skillfully examined his pupils and the wound on Cedrick’s head.Fortunately, the wound was not serious, and now he just fainted temporarily. "What has happened to Mr. Mason? Is he sick?" Keven asked with co
Chapter 1766"Thank God, you're fine. I was so scared just now. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond to me. You were trapped in a nightmare..."Cedrick's eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, I made you worry.""What are you talking about?" Catelyn looked at his pale face and said with a tender expression, "We're husband and wife! If I fell ill, would you think I'm a burden?"Cedrick took a deep breath, and his rough fingertips touched her smooth neck, where the bruises were visible."Does it still hurt?"'Damn the virus!'It had reached the point where it could control his mind.Catelyn could feel his self-blame and instinctively pulled up her collar to cover the bruises."I'm fine. Don't take it too hard. It was not your intention, and I don't blame you.""The next time it attacks me, just knock me out or use this for self-defense. Don't let me strangle you again." The thought of hurting his beloved woman made Cedrick feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.He took ou
Chapter 1767Joanne guessed right.Cedrick and the others had gotten into trouble indeed.They were unlucky. They met fierce animals in the mountain at first. Then there was heavy rain. They were scattered now.Luckily, they had appointed a place to join up with each other for emergencies.However, when Cedrick and Catelyn arrived at the appointed place, there was no one else. The signal of their satellite phone was intermittent. It seemed that its signal was interfered with by something, and it was out of action.Catelyn stood at the top of the mountain and looked around, but she didn’t see anyone else.“Were they eaten by fierce animals?”Cedrick frowned. Although he was worried about his men, he believed that they could protect themselves.“Keven has sufficient experience in jungles. Even if they were besieged by fierce animals, they would be able to protect themselves. Besides, they have carried guns. We didn’t hear any shots. It means that it wasn’t so dangerous for them
Chapter 1768After all, the nearby mountains and jungles were unearthly. There might be a hidden deep hole.“What should we do? Keven and the others may have been blocked by something and can’t come here immediately.”Catelyn and Cedrick had become separated from the others and hadn’t carried much food. Thus, they only had two choices now. The one was to join up with the others. The other was to find the village as soon as quickly. Otherwise, they could only go hunting or go fishing.Along the way, they hadn’t found any traces of other people. On the contrary, there were scratches from wild wolves or other fierce animals.It showed that Keven and the others hadn’t caught up with them yet.Cedrick tried to contact Keven through the satellite phone. Of course, he couldn’t get through. It seemed that the signal had been shielded artificially.Cedrick picked up a stone and threw it off the cliff. Finally, the stone fell into the bushes with a sound. Then he took out a can from his b
Chapter 1769“The antitoxic serum... Yael prepared various medicines in the medical kit for emergencies. Ceddy, hold on! I will inject the antitoxic serum for you immediately!” Catelyn knew little about vipers and thus didn’t know which medicine would be effective. She opened the medical kit and rummaged through it.She was so anxious that her mind was going blank and her limbs were shaking. Finally, she found the antitoxic serum in a small white bag!Under the light of the flashlight, she read the instructions. After she learned how to use it, she drew the antitoxic serum with a syringe and was about to inject it into Cedrick’s bloodstream.However, her hands were trembling. She wasn’t able to do it!In the end, she broke the tip of her tongue and felt the pain. Only then did she calm down and inject the antitoxic serum for Cedrick.Catelyn was worried about Cedrick and didn’t walk away. She just built fires nearby because she wasn’t available to pitch the tent. Then she support
Chapter 1770From far away, Catelyn saw a middle-aged man in sackcloth herding cows on the opposite hillside.She felt dizzy and didn’t know if it was her illusion or not.“Sir, help... help...” Catelyn had been parched. When she shouted to the man, she had a sore throat.Luckily, the man heard her shout. He stopped herding cows and looked in the direction where the sound came from.Then the man saw Catelyn falling to the ground limply.“Lady? Lady!” The man threw the reins and ran towards Catelyn anxiously....“Dana, where did your husband save the woman? She looks pretty. Look at her skin. Her skin is much more tender than the skin of our mountain people.”“The townspeople don’t need to go to do the farm work like us. After they give birth to babies, they have nannies to take care of their babies. Of course, they look young and beautiful...”“Although her skin is tender, she is weak. She fainted just because she dragged the man and walked for a short distance! Even if she’
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
