Draco was entirely focused on Cedrick, so he did not hear the beeping of a phone. He glanced at Maia and shook his head."That would be my phone, Miss Maia," the male nurse explained as he hurriedly stood up.Maia smiled at him, then let go of Draco's arm and walked toward the nurse's room.Seeing that she was striding to the room where Catelyn was hiding, the male nurse was so nervous that his heart skipped a beat. "Miss Clark, my room is quite messy. It's better for you to not go in.""Did you smell that?"Maia's red lips twitched. Although she was pregnant, she still put on lipstick every time she went out to enhance her complexion and aura.Everyone was puzzled for a moment when they heard Maia.The male nurse asked bewilderedly, "What do you mean?""The scent of gardenias."She had smelled gardenias the moment she walked in with Draco. She initially thought it was just her hallucination due to her pregnancy until the phone rang...Eason cursed inwardly, remembering that
Catelyn quickly turned on her phone's silent mode.Since the window of the room was made of one-way glass, Catelyn could see Maia running to the corner.'She looks like she's texting someone. To whom? Why was she so panicked when she heard the news that Cedrick had woken up?'"It's alright now, Miss Clark, you can come out." The nurse opened the door of the room for Catelyn, his forehead glistening with sweat.Catelyn smiled gratefully at him and quickly walked toward Cedrick.Cedrick lay flat on the bed, feeling someone walk past him, and slowly opened his eyes.Catelyn passed by him like a thief, lying at the ward's door to eavesdrop on the situation outside the ward.Her ears seemed to be tinted red as she was too anxious.Still, the situation was both hilarious and infuriating to Cedrick.He slowly sat up from the bed while Catelyn was checking if those people were gone. When she turned around and saw him getting up, her eyes sank."Why did you get up? The doctor just sai
Maia did not want Richard to get in her way at a time like this."Didn't we already talk about it? After I poison him, you find a way to destroy the surveillance. Remember to not leave any evidence behind. We'll have countless glory and wealth in the future after this."Richard's dark eyes swept across the white porcelain bottle. "Have you ever thought about what to do if you were caught?""I have no choice but to put myself at risk."Maia bit her lip and pushed Richard's hand away.Richard's eyes flashed with confusion, and he snatched the porcelain bottle from her hand."You wait here. I'll do it!""You?" Maia pretended to be shocked. "The bodyguards at Cedrick's ward are very strict. How are you getting in?""I have my way. In short, I won't put you in danger."Maia hugged Richard and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "Oh, Rich…" she sighed softly. "Thank you for loving me deeply. I will always remember you."Richard took a deep breath and hugged Maia even tighter.
Cedrick seemed to have guessed what Catelyn was thinking, and his lips twisted into a smug smile. "He wouldn't dare to come out without my order.""It's fine if you don't want to drink, I won't feed you."Even if the nurse would not come out, he might still be able to hear their conversation, and that was embarrassing enough to Catelyn.Cedrick raised his eyebrows roguishly when he heard Catelyn's reply. "I won't drink if you don't feed me."Catelyn stared at his pale face for a while, then turned her gaze to the warm water in the cup.The water had already become slightly cold."Is the corner of my mouth chapped?" Cedrick stroked the skin of the corner of his mouth as he spoke. There was a tingling sensation on the spot.Catelyn stared at the shameless man in front of her who was painfully dehydrated. It irked her how he could continue depriving himself from water with his antics!With a frown, she took a big gulp from the glass, held the man's head, and placed her lips on h
Catelyn felt her heart inexplicably aching. She had no idea how much she meant to Cedrick.In fact, Catelyn was a soft person. If Cedrick was forceful to her, she might just slam the door and leave. However, the moment he said kind words, she quickly lost her temper.Catelyn blushed unnaturally and snorted, "You got me locked up in your building, took my son away, and bought off the lawyers of the whole city. Did you know how I was on the verge of going insane when you refused to see me at that moment?"Hearing that Catelyn took the initiative to bring back the past, Cedrick was relieved.If she did not say anything, even if she reconciled with him because she was touched by his words, these matters would continue haunting her."I didn't take your son away," said Cedrick."I don't believe you!" Catelyn was sure Cedrick was lying. "That person clearly said that I'm not worthy to raise the young master of the Mason family. If it wasn't you, who else could it have been?"Cedrick ke
Catelyn's heart softened at this. "Well, I have three conditions.""As long as you won't hold the past against me, you can name even up to thirty conditions," replied Cedrick gently."This is what you promised. I've yet to think of thirty, but let's just start with three for now," said Catelyn.Cedrick's eyebrows jumped, feeling as if he had just dug a hole for himself.Catelyn immediately said, "First, you're not allowed to imprison me. Second, no matter what the circumstances are, you're not allowed to deprive me of the right to my children's custody. Third, you mustn't interfere with my work and personal space for friends. All exchanges are based on the premise of equality and freedom."Cedrick had no issues with the first two conditions. The boys were at Mason Estate, after all, and Catelyn would have to go back with him anyway.That third condition, however…Cedrick's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a displeased tone, "Do you intend to make friends with a man or a woman?
"I was worried that we missed an injury within Master Cedrick, so I came to take a look," said the doctor as he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was holding a medical record book of Cedrick with a seriously worried expression on his face.The bodyguard frowned and looked at the nurse beside Doctor Robert."I haven't seen this nurse before. Please take off your mask," ordered the bodyguard dutifully.Richard Kingsley was wearing a black mask and a white lab coat. He had no other objection and took off the mask.The bodyguards did not recognize Richard, and they eyed him dubiously.Doctor Robert was worried that the bodyguard would call more men over, so he hurriedly explained with a smile, "This is a relative of mine. He just came to the hospital for an internship a few days ago.""I see... That's alright. Go on in."The bodyguard took the initiative to push the ward door open for Doctor Robert, and Richard entered the room behind him.The huge VIP suite had a ve
Doctor Robert had done everything he was told.However, Richard did not look back at him and secretly took out a needle from his bag while the male escort was not paying attention.Quietly, he injected a dose of transparent liquid from the needle into the infusion tube. The contents in the infusion tube quickly mixed together with the colorless, odorless poison.Richard watched as the liquid flowed toward Cedrick's unconscious body, and the corner of his mouth under the mask quirked upward to form a sinister grin.'Don't blame me, Cedrick. You've brought this upon yourself. You shouldn't have seduced Mai!'Doctor Robert had no idea what Richard had injected into Cedrick's medicine. Not daring to ask, he turned a blind eye instead.The male escort bent down toward Cedrick while taking his temperature carefully, completely unaware of what Richard and Doctor Robert were doing behind him.Richard thought the plan was flawless.Little did he know, Catelyn had planted a mobile phone
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
