Chapter 1865"Mum, I didn't... Felipe came to hold me but flipped. I didn't do anything...""I saw it! It was you who deliberately avoided him! You must have disliked my son! I'll kill you!" Briley became angrier and angrier, snatching the scythe from Gerald's hand and about to slash at Catelyn's face.Gerald's eyes darkened and suddenly reached out to stop Briley, "Felipe's injury is serious! Hurry up and call the doctor to come to check him..."Briley slammed her thighs, tearfully hugged Felipe and asked Gerald, "Why don't you treat our son? Why do we have to pay for a doctor?"Gerald took one look at Felipe's disfigured face and shook his head, "This wound is too serious. I don't have any medicine. If it's delayed, his face will be really ruined!"Briley shivered and hurriedly asked Gerald to help her carry Felipe to the main house to rest.Before Gerald left, he suddenly glanced at Catelyn.That glance made Catelyn shudder inside!'Gerald is the real fox in this family...
Chapter 1866Catelyn was finally sure that Gerald really did know everything!"You know why I don't expose you? Because... I wanted you to give me a son too!""..." Catelyn's sweaty hair stood on end. She was greatly shocked, and her eyes widened like copper bells as she stared at this man dead in the face.'Gerald won't even let go of his daughter-in-law. He was simply a monster!'"I know you're not willing to be my stupid son's wife. Anyway, he can't make you happy with his weak body. Be my lover. I promise, if you are my lover, I'll give you a comfortable life. In the future, you can give me a big fat boy..."As he spoke, Gerald began to tear the clothes from Catelyn's body. He was breathing rapidly and monkeyed around like a hungry wolf that had been starving for years.Catelyn completely collapsed. What kind of madness was this?All Catelyn could do was struggle with all her strength, scratching, kicking, and biting. She used all the means at her disposal, smashing everyth
Chapter 1867On the bed, Gerald eagerly tore at Catelyn's clothes while fantasizing about their future. As he tried to kiss her, a foul smell escaped his mouth. His bad breath really grossed her out. Flustered, she bit her lip and held her clothes in a rush when they were about to leave her. At this time, a quick movement across the window caught her eye. Briley was here!"Your wife had born you a son! Are you really... going to walk out on her?" With simulated grievance, Catelyn ventured. The dim moonlight amplified the sadness that washed over her features. She now seemed like a pitiful kitten.Yet her very look softened every bone of Gerald’s body, except one. He sneered, "If that woman raised Felipe well, he wouldn’t become so bellicose and get into a huge fight! And he wouldn’t end up like that!""But I am Felipe’s wife."TCHAK! Her red dress was ripped open, her alabaster neck revealing. Though simmered with fear, she counted in her heart. One, two, three..."Felipe’s
Chapter 1868Being stopped by Gerald, Briley became furious. She couldn't bear the fact that her husband would go all out to protect another woman. "You want to fight against me for this little bitch?"Catelyn watched as the two of them pushed and shoved each other. The knife gleamed as it caught the light, sending a chill down her spine. She couldn't help but cry out in distress, "Gerald, she actually tried to kill me just now! I don't wanna die. Help me. I’m all yours if you can save me from her!""You mean it?" Gerald's eyes sparkled with excitement.Standing right beside them, Briley was pretty ticked off upon hearing their “love talk.” When he wasn’t looking, her knife dug into his stomach as she stabbed him fiercely, without mercy. "You bastard! I'll fight it out with you."A muffled thunk could be heard as it penetrated his flesh.Huge pain seized him, incapacitating him. He lowered his head to check the wound. Fortunately, the heavy winter clothes shielded him from most
Chapter 1869With each strike having a greater force than the last, Catelyn exerted every ounce of strength in her body to whack Gerald on his head and his stomach wound in particular. She was so focused on what she was doing that she didn't even register the need to blink.She had no idea how much time had passed, only to find herself exhausted. Even so, she didn’t stop. Driven by her instinct for survival and fear of this wretched old man, she clobbered his head again and again. Gerald’s angry shouts gradually died down, and he lay flat on the bed, being at his last gasp...She dropped the burning stick onto the floor, which gave a clang. As if merely rising above the fear, she launched a brutal kick at the dying man before she sprinted out of the room with a lighter in her hand.In rural areas, due to the lack of natural gas, every household would make sure that they had enough firewood to get through the entire winter season.Without hesitation, Catelyn poured gasoline over
Chapter 1870Moonlight gleamed on the water. The waves beside Catelyn danced. Yet she wasn’t in the mood for this beautiful view when she saw the reflection of a man behind her. It scared the hell out of her and she wheeled sharply.In a whoosh, the man drew closer to her and forced her head under the icy waters."Mmm..." Water started to make its way into her airways through her mouth and nose. It mercilessly squeezed the air from her lungs. Struggling in the water, she attempted to free herself from his grip with all her might, but no matter how hard she resisted, he didn't budge an inch. Soon, her strength waned, and the need for air became unbearable."I want you dead! Dead!" The man’s resentful repetition echoed. Catelyn knew this voice. Felipe had followed her here! However, she was too weak to put up a fight now.Gradually, the last remnants of air escaped her lungs. She felt the caress of death, her short yet eventful life flashing before her eyes. All these happy or s
Chapter 1871The unpleasantness from before was gone, Braylon held back the sorry he felt for Cedrick and said, "The medical resources here are limited. Just be prepared. When Cat gets better, we will take her back to Sapphire City right away."Cedrick had no objections. After all, this was only a small town.When they returned to Sapphire City, he would take Catelyn to Yeal's place.Maybe Yeal would think of a better solution.Then, he thought of Felipe, who got Catelyn here, his gaze turned icy.Not long afterwards, an appalling incident happened in the town.All the men who had been involved in the abduction and human trafficking of girls strangely went missing. There were no traces of them, as if they had disappeared from the world.Since they had committed crimes and most of them had killed girls they abducted, the others dared not call the police. Since then, it had become a mystery...Until not long after, a few naughty boys came to play in Gerald's burnt house...Thes
Chapter 1872Cedrick slowly leafed through the pages, almost all of Catelyn’s vital signs were substandard.Just as Yeal said, it was already hard enough to keep her in the current state.Back in the small town, for several times, the doctors advised him to give up on treating her and "free her from suffering".Free her from suffering? These words were too easy to say! But did they know what Catelyn meant to him? What was the point of him living alone in this world without her?After reading the pages, Cedrick slowly said in numbness, "Just do anything you can. No matter what happens, I won’t blame you.”Yeal sighed and then discussed the follow-up details of Catelyn’s treatment with him.They talked for three hours in the medical research center. After Braylon left, Yeal looked at Cedrick and said, "Although you look fine, I am a doctor and I can see that you aren’t. You haven't had a good sleep for a long time, have you?""I'm fine," said Cedrick in a low voice. Suddenly, he
