"Don't move," warned Cedrick in a hoarse voice.

Catelyn listened to his heartbeat and felt the sudden urge to cry as she recalled all the sweet moments they shared in the past.

Cedrick held onto her tight and refused to let go, and she picked up how his breaths grew deeper.

The temporary truce between them only existed because they were on the run, and they had no energy to consider the past. Once they were safe again, the burden of the past would haunt them once more.

Her eyes reddened as a lone teardrop fell. She frantically tried to dry her eyes by blinking rapidly and forcing a teasing tone, saying, "You sure seem relaxed considering the fact that we're being chased. I feel like those people are aiming at you."

Cedrick did not respond.

The assassins were, indeed, sent after him, and Catelyn was merely bait to lure him here so they could kill him. Cedrick noticed that the people who kidnapped Catelyn and the assassins that came after them were at completely different levels.

    The bumpy hill road was made for accidents to happen!From the front mirror, Catelyn could see two cars chasing after them. The cars seemed to have been modified before as their car plate numbers were not visible. The faces of the drivers were twisted maliciously, and she was so afraid that she felt her heart jump up to her throat.Cedrick was unfamiliar with the map, and with the cars chasing them picking up the pace dangerously fast, the situation was escalating fast.Catelyn felt the air in the car shift.She quickly took out Cedrick's phone and connected it to the charging cable and launched the GPS."I'll guide you. Turn left in a quarter of a mile!""Turn right at forty-eight meters. Steep road ahead!"…It was quiet in the car, save only the sound of Catelyn guiding the direction, though not without a quiver in her voice.Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the GPS."There's a crossroad in about eight hundred meters. Turn right into the narrow road, and go straight for

    "Good." Cedrick's eyes landed on the grassy ground to their right. "When I count to three, jump out of the car. Try landing on the grass; it'll minimize the impact."Catelyn nodded obediently, knowing that Cedrick's instructions were out of desperation and concern.As the car continued moving forward and the time for Catelyn to jump got closer, she froze as if she realized something."What about you?""I'll be okay." Cedrick's jaw tightened, his expression cold. "Remember what I said: timing is key. Cover your head with your hands when you jump, and run to the town immediately. They won't be able to do much at a crowded place."Catelyn, however, ignored his words as her eyes reddened with tears."Aren't you jumping with me?!""They're looking for me. If I jump with you, they'll catch up to us right away. If I stay in the car, they might not notice you, and you'll be safe."In other words, Cedrick planned to stay in the car to buy her more time."No!" Catelyn burst out in tears

    Cedrick's words sounded like a final farewell.Catelyn felt like her heart was cut open slowly with a rusted knife as she listened to his goodbye. The pain she felt was excruciating, and it left her breathless."I don't want any of that; all I want is for you to live! What do I do if you're gone? What about our children?!""Catelyn…"Catelyn was desperate for him to change his mind. She leaned in as he planted a kiss on her lips, her fingers brushing his hair as she cradled the back of his head. She whispered his name over and over again in her heart.Cedrick Mason…Cedrick Mason…She loved him and hated him at the same time, so much so that she could not get enough of him.To Cedrick, on the other hand, she was the only woman that he would do anything to get.Both his parents died when he was young, and he was the only child, so Grandpa Mason had always been strict with him when it came to education.He was raised in a twisted family as there were people from both his inner

    Catelyn's hands shivered as she desperately looked for the ring from her bag, her tears blurring her vision. She eventually found the ring that Cedrick had proposed to her with.She stretched out her right hand and placed the ring on her ring finger.She was so rushed, however, that the ring got stuck on her finger joint. Her eyes reddened as she forced it in, and a layer of skin on her ring finger was scraped open, yet she felt nothing.She raised her hand."Are you seeing this, Cedrick Mason? I put the ring on! I want a traditional wedding, a white wedding gown and all! How could you break your promise?"Nothing but the wind responded to her.She looked around frantically, hoping that he would show up in front of her anytime and told her that he heard everything she said.What she got in response was the sound of the engine shutting off.Turning around, she instantly spotted their pursuers finally arriving, and one of them got out of the car.It was the man whom Cedrick had

    The nurse looked at Catelyn with sympathy and regret. Her gaze sent a sharp blade through Catelyn's heart, and her grip on the nurse's collar tightened."There was a man who was sent here along with you…but he had unfortunately died during the journey to the hospital."Catelyn's heart pounded excruciatingly.Pushing the nurse away, she quickly ran toward the morgue as far as her legs could bring her. She wanted to see Cedrick for the last time.Unfortunately, the viewing period was over.She stared blankly at the patients passing by, and in just seconds, she broke down in tears as she slid onto the ground. She buried her head between her knees as she bawled in despair.She cried and wept for many minutes to the point her knees turned numb.All of a sudden, a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of her."What are you doing here, Miss Catelyn?" rang Eason's voice from above her.Catelyn looked up at him blankly, her face glossed with tears. However, Eason did not seem to be g

    To Catelyn, Maia had always been a manipulative woman.Catelyn slowly straightened herself as she looked at the old man and smiled. "Yes. It's hard for a single mother to raise children, so please bear with me."The old man was irritated by her emotionless reply as his face sank."You know how these two children were conceived. The Mason family didn't know the baby's existence before, but now we do. You're no longer qualified to raise them!"Still, Catelyn was not infuriated by his scornful speech."You can't just use blood ties as an excuse to take them away from me. I can go to any law firm for notarization if you don't believe me. No matter what happens in the future, I won't take the assets of the Mason family.""But Mai is pregnant! Who knows if you won't encourage your son to snatch the wealth that belongs to Mai's child? I won't allow my great-grandson, the descendant of the Mason family, to become a puppet at your disposal!"Draco's voice intensified darkly over time.F

    Catelyn watched as Draco Mason and Maia Clark, who was sweet-talking to Draco, left. Anyone else would have thought they were blood-related with the way they regarded each other....Eason told Catelyn that when the car fell off a cliff, a dead branch fortunately caught Cedrick, hence saving his life.Still, his doctor said that he was seriously injured. Moreover, the gunshot wound in his arm showed signs of inflammation, which did not help him in his comatose state whatsoever.Catelyn went all out to convince herself not to think about Cedrick, yet the image of his face haunted her persistently.She could not help recalling the scene when he risked his life so that she could jump out of the car safely. The moment replayed in her mind like a movie.She could not forget it, and she could not let it go.The tip of her nose suddenly became sour."Which ward is he in? I want to see him," Catelyn looked at Eason and asked earnestly.Eason scratched his head with a dignified look. "

    Cedrick was wearing a blue-and-white striped hospital gown. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes curled.He was connected to an IV drip that hung at his bedside.The doctor mentioned that he would regain consciousness in the next few days, considering that he was physically fit and active.Draco originally wanted to bring him back to Amarica, but he was afraid that the news would be leaked and thereby cause economic turmoil, so he changed his mind in the end and decided to wait until Cedrick woke up.Because of that, Catelyn had the chance to see him.The nurse was startled when Catelyn showed up on the balcony. She pointed inside, opened the balcony door, and stayed on the balcony on her own, leaving plenty of space for them.Catelyn looked at the nurse gratefully and quietly approached Cedrick.Looking at Cedrick's calm but pale face, due to weakness, the intensity and madness he usually sported were all gone.One of Catelyn's hands clasped her mouth as a mixture of joy and so

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.

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.

    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.
