Chapter 304

Author: Velvet Antler
Well, things did escalate before her. She did allow the driver to run into Catelyn.

"Fine. You want an explanation, no? I'll give you one."

"All I need is a word from you, Granny Atherton. I'll investigate the rest myself."

Cedrick's eyes were cold and stern. All he wanted was Granny Atherton's agreement.

Catelyn woke up to the smell of faint disinfectant. She forcibly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a clean white ceiling.

Her brain was still foggy at this point.

She stared at the ceiling for a while before she stared at her surroundings. A bag of intravenous drip was hung by the bed frame, sending fluids down the line and into her body.

The last thing she remembered was Edwin running toward her and shielding her with his body.

She faintly remembered the Athertons' car running over her.

Catelyn tried moving her body and realized that her left hand was held tightly by another hand.

She traced the hand only to find Cedrick sitting on a chair in front of the

    "I'm alright…just a little thirsty."Catelyn wanted to sit up when a pair of hands pinned her down. The warmth from Cedrick's hands spread to her shoulder."Don't move. I'll bring you water."Catelyn froze in place. She did not want him to notice that she was feeling a certain way."Okay."Cedrick turned around to fill a glass with water, and his eyes darkened.'What was she thinking of earlier? Why did she look so sad and dazed?'Cedrick filled the glass up with warm water and took a sip to test the temperature of the water before putting a straw in and pointing it toward Catelyn's lips."Open your mouth. Drink up."Catelyn did not even have to sit up; all she had to do was open her mouth to drink.Seeing as Catelyn did not open her mouth, Cedrick raised his brows and asked, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink."Catelyn felt extremely embarrassed.She just had diarrhea. Why was he treating him like she was a three-year-old child that needed help?"I'd like to sit up.""The doctor

    Granny Atherton fell deep into a memory lane, struggling to pull herself back out.Knock, knock!Someone knocked at the door, and it brought Granny Atherton back to reality as she blinked away her tears."Come in," she replied.Kelly walked in with what seemed like a secretive folder. "Old Madam, here's the draft by Miss Catelyn that you asked for."Granny Atherton put the photos aside cautiously and accepted the folder. She had only planned on scanning through, but her eyes were glued onto it.It was a dark, edgy design of a ring.With a bright red rose with silver-black skulls as its pistils, the contrast between the red and white was strong and edgy.It brought Granny Atherton back in the day when Summer, her daughter, was in her twenties and how she liked all sorts of jewelry.She even promised herself that she would head toward a different path and design a series of edgy jewelry.The skull signified power as well as war, death, and the devil. A red rose, on the other ha

    Catelyn did not expect Cedrick to lash out at her. Looking back at her actions, guilt crept into her as she stared at Cedrick, muttering cautiously, "I didn't expect Granny Atherton to allow Lola…""If you knew that it was going to happen, how did you end up here?" retorted Cedrick with a deep frown.Catelyn looked down and nodded. "I'll be more cautious from now on.""..."'She sure is quick to admit her mistake, but she's still going to repeat it.'Cedrick saw how weak she was and decided to stop lecturing her, keeping his silence with pursed lips.That expression of his was clear to Catelyn—Cedrick was throwing a fit.Catelyn knew he was worried about her safety and felt comforted by his caringness, but she hated seeing him angry.Her tiny, pale hands poked out from under the blanket and tugged gently on the corner of his shirt.Cedrick slapped her hand off of him, not caving in at all.Catelyn did not give up either. Her eyes sparkled as she continued tugging on his shi

    "Why are you still scolding me? Look at me now! How do you justify bullying a lady in such a situation? Also, how am I supposed to know that Lola would put laxatives into the water bottle? If I knew I wouldn't even drink it!"Cedrick did not expect her to spew all of that through harshly gritted teeth when she was still physically weak.He was satisfied with her progress in recovery and brushed her hair with his fingers, smirking. "Is that all? Seeing as you're being such a good girl, I have a reward for you."Cedrick placed his forehead on hers and growled endearingly, "A kiss from me. Do you like it?""..."No. Not at all.At that moment, the door was pushed open from outside.Joanne rushed to the hospital with some hot soup in her hands. "Cat, I heard that you got admitted into the hospital because of diarrhea, so I bought—"The moment she pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was a man with his back facing the door and his upper body on top of Catelyn's. His arm cra

    Joanne nodded cautiously and wiped her hand before reaching her hand out. "Hello, I'm Joanne. Mister Mason, right? Wait… Cedrick Mason?"Joanne widened her eyes in shock, her gaze drifting between Catelyn and Cedrick.She gulped and asked nervously, "Cedrick Mason? You're that guy, aren't you?"Cedrick's lips curled upward arrogantly as he responded, "Is there another Cedrick Mason in this world?""Oh my god!" Joanna was so shocked that her lower jaw dropped, and her heart thumped against her ribcage."Wow, Cat, what a good friend you are! Why haven't you told me that you've been seeing the great Master Cedrick?! I thought we're besties, and I even take care of Miles for you! No wonder you're always bringing Miles to mine."Catelyn felt embarrassed by her friend during the first half of the sentence, and she almost jumped from the bed to stop her from continuing. She had to gesture with her eyes for Joanne to stop talking.Joanne, though aware of what Catelyn was doing, pretende

    "Joanne Winters, our friendship ends now if you don't shut your mouth."Joanne merely grinned impishly in return, and it was evident she would not stop talking."Is your tiny body able to take on Cedrick? Look at the size of his body! Should I buy some medicine that encourages early ejaculation? Better not, though—it's not good for him to take them."Catelyn was mystified by her behavior. She chose to ignore it altogether as she covered her ears and laid back in bed.…The next day, Catelyn received a text from Cedrick the moment the sun rose.He told her that he would be bringing her breakfast and ordered her to not eat anything else before that.Catelyn felt oddly pleased.Cedrick had started treating her better every day.He was thoughtful and took good care of her while she, on the other side, was unable to give back to him.The doorknob twisted open.Catelyn thought it was Cedrick who had come bearing breakfast, but it was actually…An unwelcomed guest, Lola Atherton.

    Lola paused for a brief moment before she added, "Or is it because you're still bitter about the fact that I kicked you out of the competition, and you're just doing this now so that my grandmother would hate me?"Catelyn was at a complete loss for words when she heard this. Thankfully, she had swallowed the water in her mouth, or she might have spat it out.Lola was a downright shameless woman. Her sad, innocent demeanor made her look like she was the victim there."Are you brainless or something? Cat's not crazy; she'd never do anything like that!" growled Joanne through gritted teeth, furious on Catelyn's behalf. "Not only did she lose the competition, but she had to be admitted to the hospital, too! What did she gain from any of these?! You're such a heartless woman!"Lola bit her lip down and muttered, "Miss Winters, I know you're close to Miss Catelyn, but sometimes, it's hard to tell what a person's real intentions are."Joanne's eyes reddened as she cursed at Lola.What a

    "Oh, dear—I did step on you! So sorry about that."Still, my dear cousin, didn't I tell you before to not touch Catelyn?"Edwin's tone shifted at that point. His usual nonchalant self had vanished, and his eyes were sharp as blades. "Have you forgotten about that?"Lola lost her composure, and her expression shifted as tears welled up in her eyes. "I…I'm sorry, Edwin. Please, just let go of my hand!"Edwin's expression was unforgiving. Not only did he not remove his feet, but he even pressed down on her hand even more harshly. "You're hurt, huh?"Lola sobbed as she nodded aggressively, her eyes red with tears."Now, you'll remember that no matter how lowly someone is to you, you can't just do whatever you want with them," enunciated Edwin as he eventually removed his feet from her hand.With a face scrunched in agony, Lola pulled her hand back without even picking her phone up.The back of her hand was imprinted with Edwin's shoe print, creased with deep and shallow lines.

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

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.

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.
