Chapter 1876"The patient's blood pressure is dropping and her temperature is dropping..." "Damn! Hurry up! Prepare for resuscitation..." The shrill alarm sounded and broke the peace in the operating room. All the doctors and nurses panicked. They rushed to prepare all kinds of instruments for first aid. The air in the operating room was tense. Bee-- Suddenly, a pitched alarm sounded. The Heart Rate Monitor showed a horizontal line, which meant Catelyn's heartbeat stopped! Cedrick immediately held his breath. His bloodshot eyes stared at the horizontal line. He was desperate to see the horizontal line change in the next second. But after a few seconds, the line didn't change, and Cedrick felt like it was a century. The alarm tone was piercing... Cedrick was freaked out. Suddenly, his pupils dilated and he vomited blood! Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and stained his white shirt... Cedrick felt dizzy and the world faded away. He then fainted.
Chapter 1877At times, her mind was flooded with images of Evelyn's relentless harassment in the ancient village. Other times, the scene shifted to her being overpowered by Gerald. And all of a sudden, the image turned into a terrifying hand firmly clasping her head, submerging her underwater and suffocating her."Go to hell..."The chaotic fragments of memories continuously flashed through her mind, and the last recollection appeared to freeze: She dangled in mid-air, a hundred meters above the ground, resolutely releasing the safety buckle of her parachute.In the very next moment, she descended like a kite with a severed string, devoid of equilibrium or assistance, plummeting into the chilling depths of the sea.That terrifying suffocation feeling struck again...She couldn't breathe at all.What should she do?"Don't..."Catelyn suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and her abrupt movement accidentally tugged at the intravenous line in her right hand. She glanced around the
Chapter 1878Catelyn was stuck for words.‘Even if Joanne is reluctant to tell me what happened, there is no need for her to run away.’...Several minutes later, Cedrick and Yale pushed open the door and walked in again. Cedrick’s eyes were as deep as the rough sea. Hesitation welled up in his eyes. He strode towards Catelyn.“Cedrick...”“Let’s go to a place.”Cedrick lifted the quilt and carried Catelyn in his arms.Catelyn put her arms around his neck habitually and felt his warm breath.Cedrick walked out of the medical base. Eason had arranged a helicopter in advance. When Catelyn saw the helicopter, her pupils contracted. She looked at Cedrick in confusion.“Is the place far away?”Cedrick observed her expression.‘Yale is right. Catelyn is afraid of helicopters subconsciously.’Cedrick shook his head, “No, not at all.”...The propellers started to rotate, and the helicopter took off gradually.Catelyn sat in a safety seat and didn’t have the guts to look down.
Chapter1879Catelyn froze in Cedrick's arms. "You've been to that village? What about you and the kids’ condition?" "The virus originated from that village. There is a cure. Don't worry." Catelyn should have been happy about Cedrick's news, but she felt sore in her heart. She was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Can we go home now? I want to see the kids." Cedrick hesitated for a few seconds. Then he replied in a deep voice, "Ollie's still in therapy and you just woke up. Yale said you need to be under observation. When you feel better, I'll bring the kids to see you." Catelyn nodded. She didn't insist. "I want to have a video call with them." "No problem. I'll have Albert arrange it." ... During Catelyn's stay at Yale's medical center, she rarely went on the Internet. She was only allowed to watch TV shows occasionally to kill time because Yale said her nerves were broken and she had to stay emotionally calm. News on the Internet might disturb her pe
Chapter 1880However, Edwin had just carried Puffy to the bathroom when the cell phone in his pocket rang.Catelyn's cell phone had broken, and she hadn't used it recently.Hearing the ringing, she shouted at the bathroom, but the sound of the running water in the bathroom drowned out her voice. When Catelyn heard the phone ringing constantly, she took it.Kelly's name was flashing on the caller ID. Catelyn wondered if there was something urgent. She was about to answer it when the ringing stopped.At that moment, news popped up on the screen."Cedrick's ex-wife died! Recently, he has been photographed going to a luxury hotel with his new love...""The messy love affairs of the rich! A few days ago, Catelyn, the Atherton family's granddaughter, was rumored to have fallen into the river. It's unclear if she's still alive, but the court has announced her death because Cedrick is going to marry his new man..."'Fell into the river? Announced my death? Went to a hotel with his new
Chapter 1881Hearing this, the folk healers felt a mixture of flattery and anxiety. Cedrick's generous benefits, including a satisfactory salary and the promise of a prime location villa in Sapphire City for each of them, made everyone willing to work for him.After briefly interacting with the healers, Cedrick approached Yael, who was deeply engrossed in studying herbal medicines.Yael glanced at Cedrick momentarily but quickly turned back to his medical experiments.Before Cedrick could say anything, Yael picked up a transparent glass dish and exclaimed, "My goodness, I must admit that Evelyn, as ruthless as she is, is truly a genius in the realm of medical poison! I have never come across such an exquisite prescription before, with a ratio of seven parts poison to three parts medicine. This modulation ratio optimizes the efficacy of the antidote...."Inside the glass dish lay a black pill, which was the antidote Evelyn had provided to Cedrick.Initially, Evelyn used acupunct
Chapter 1882Helaine blinked, tears streaming down her face. She said stubbornly, "Miss Swan, your feet are big, so I recommended that size for you...""Honey, how dare a mere shop assistant bully me?" Evelyn pouted at Ralph in a tone of disbelief.It was impossible for Ralph to fall out with Evelyn, so he looked away from Helene and called the store manager over."Did you hear that? It's better not to keep such an unqualified shop assistant."The manager didn't dare to offend "Cedrick", so he could only say to Helene, "Look at you. You are so clumsy that you can't even serve the future Mrs. Mason well. What are you waiting for? Go and get your salary. Don't let me see you again tomorrow!""I really didn't..." Helaine burst into tears.The manager winked at Helaine. "Stop crying! You've pissed off Mr. and Mrs. Mason. I don't think you can even stay in Sapphire City any longer!"Helene panicked, cowered, and turned to leave.However, Evelyn stopped her again at this time and sa
Chapter 1883Catelyn felt confused. ‘Why were they shocked when they saw me as if I was a dead man?‘But it proves that Cedrick and Edwin have hidden something from me.‘At least, I don’t know the woman who suddenly shows up by “Cedrick’s” side and is so close to him.‘I have no memories about the woman.‘She’s arrogant. It seems that her identity isn’t simple.’Catelyn looked at Ralph and said coldly, “Don’t you want to explain it to me?”“Explain what? Catelyn, now that you’re still alive, I would like to tell you that Cedrick is my husband now! You have no relationship with him legally anymore!” Evelyn suddenly came up and put her arm around Ralph’s arm.Catelyn pulled the other arm of Ralph. “What does she mean? What have you done behind my back?”Ralph was in a dilemma between Catelyn and Evelyn. Being pulled by them, Ralph felt annoyed. “Don’t argue here. Catelyn, please go back first. The matter between Evelyn and me is complicated. Mr. Atherton will explain it to you
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
