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
Chapter 1873"Huh." Cedrick suddenly chuckled. He looked composed, making it hard to see the coldness in his eyes, "She wants houses, cars, and companies, yet is still not satisfied. She wants me to declare Catelyn dead now?'Braylon's heart beat fast. There came the rustles of leaves from outside the window and he hurriedly replied, "I will tell Ralph to turn her down.""No need," Cedrick stopped him and said, "Register a new company with Evelyn as the legal person. Satisfy all her other wishes."Braylon was caught stunned. He doubted if he heard it right. Since Catelyn fell into a coma, no one dared to mention even the word "death" to Cedrick, but now, did he mean... Declaring Catelyn dead for real?Cedrick didn't say more, but waved his hand and motioned for him to leave. He then took a cotton swab, dipped it wet in water, and moistened Catelyn's lips for her. After that, he massaged her hands and feet for her. As if she was only asleep in bed, he did it all gently and didn't w
Chapter 1874"If the paparazzi found out that Mr. Mason had remarried shortly after losing his wife and reported it, the stock price of the Mason Group might plummet."Ralph echoed, "Anyway, it's just a formality, not a wedding ceremony. Evelyn, I'm sure you can understand."Evelyn pouted and complained.It would be an honor for her to marry Cedric, but she could not flaunt it."If you don't like it, we can wait until Catelyn's death is announced.""No!" Evelyn got anxious upon hearing this. It took her a lot of effort to get Cedrick to agree to marry her, waiting might bring about changes. She hurriedly said, "Just let the staff come and register our marriage. But tell them to take this as a priority, or I won't let them go!""Okay, Mrs. Mason."Braylon said with sarcasm, turned around, and left.The happy news came too suddenly. Evelyn was elated and felt it was surreal.She covered her chest and felt her beating heart. It was the most amazing news, was it not?She intende
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
