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
Maia was waiting for Richard on the rooftop.She had already taken off the nurse's uniform and was wearing her black trench coat, which outlined her slender figure.The wind on the rooftop was so strong that it ruffled her jet-black hair."It's done, Mai!" said Richard the moment he arrived at the rooftop and saw Maia.He stepped forward excitedly, and hugged Maia from behind. His palm caressed her belly, trying to feel the child within.Maia was both frightened and excited. She quickly turned to look at Richard. "Really? The drug is in Cedrick's infusion tube? Does that mean that all I have to do now is wait, and I can become Missus Mason?"However, Cedrick had a ligation operation before, and there would no doubt be some medical records of it.That did not matter. The drug was very damaging to the human brain. Even if Cedrick woke up, he would be groggy for a while.When that time came, with Draco's support, she could excuse Cedrick to be in poor health and secretly tell the
"In less than an hour, there will be one more corpse in the hospital morgue…" muttered Richard.Smack!Maia was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She swung her palm against Richard's face harshly and quickly turned her head, about to run downstairs.One hour…She could still notify the doctors to save him!Cedrick must not die!How would she become Missus Mason if he died?!Richard's eardrums buzzed after the powerful slap, and his cheek instantly reddened.Before he could do anything, he saw Maia about to head downstairs.Richard's eyes darkened viciously as put his hands around Maia's waist and hugged her tightly, trying to stop her from running away. He lowered his voice and said, "If you go down now, you'd be suspected for Cedrick's death! Do you want to go to jail?"Maia stopped struggling and gritted her teeth. "You did it on purpose!""Yes!" admitted Richard. "I can't stand how you're all head over heels for Cedrick. Didn't you tell me that you wanted reveng
Richard, still immersed in the joy of being able to be together with Maia, was completely caught off-guard by how Maia shoved him away.Furthermore, they were both standing very close to the edge. As a result, Richard fell off the rooftop as his eyes widened in pure shock.Just in the nick of time, he grabbed the wall ledge!Holding on for dear life, he hung in the air while struggling desperately, trying to get a better grip. However, the wall was dangerously smooth, and he could not get a good grasp on it. His fingers that clung to the ledge became bruised instantly.Richard lowered his head and glanced at the ground far below. The dense crowd of cars and people made his blood flow backward.His face turned pale. This would be the end for him if he fell!Richard raised his head and looked at Maia incredulously."Why! Why are you doing this!?" he shouted. "Just because I didn't obey your orders and switched the memory-wiping medicine into poison? You cared about Cedrick's life,
"I'll remember you forever," said Maia.Richard looked at her in horror.Just when Maia was about to completely peel Richard's fingers off the ledge…Clap! Clap! Clap!Out of the blue, slow claps were heard coming from behind her.Maia turned her head subconsciously…and saw Eason pushing out a wheelchair with Cedrick seated in it.Was…he not supposed to be in the emergency room?How was he still alive?!"Thank you for your wonderful performance, Miss Maia. What a cold-blooded show this was," said Catelyn as she looked at Maia with contempt in her eyes.That woman was sick in the head. She did not even hesitate to kill the man who loved her with all his heart!"You… You..." stammered Maia. Her face turned pale as she saw them.She instinctively glanced at Richard, who was still hanging by the wall on the rooftop.At first, she thought Richard had lied to her. Looking back at it, however, that did not seem to be the case at all.It was Cedrick who deceived her. He must have
At this moment, Richard's right arm felt numb entirely, and it was only with his strong willpower that he was still holding on to the ledge.Hearing Maia's words, a dark haze suddenly formed in his eyes as though a huge blow was dealt to him.Richard could not believe that the woman he loved so deeply could turn his back on him at this very moment! Despite everything he had done for her, she was pushing all the blame on him!Because Cedrick was in a wheelchair, his line of sight was far lower than Maia's, and he had to raise his head to see her.Despite this, his presence still brought an intimidating aura around him like a king who reigned over the world.Cedrick glanced at Maia with his icy cold eyes. With a devilish smile, he asked Catelyn, "I heard someone saying that the poisoning was Maia's idea. Did I hear it wrong?"Catelyn gave Cedrick an angry look.She had told him that he should be resting, that his leg was still injured, yet he was adamant on coming up here!"You h
"It hurts… It hurts!" howled Maia.Despite this, however, no one at the scene believed her nonsense.Eason pulled Richard up from the edge.Being saved from a near-death experience, he stared straight at Maia with a blank face as if she was the most heartless woman he had ever seen."M…my belly is throbbing…" Maia slumped on the ground and stretched out a hand to Cedrick. "Save me… Save me and my child!"Catelyn thought she was pretending at first, but she then saw blood oozing down her legs and onto the floor.Catelyn frowned. However, before she could say anything, Cedrick took her hand and pulled her into his arms, causing Catelyn to stumble onto his lap.Worried about tearing his wound, Cedrick stretched out his arms from behind and embraced her domineeringly.The wound did show signs of tearing because of his actions, but Cedrick stubbornly leaned close to Catelyn's ear and bit her earlobe.He whispered, "Did you forget that Maia sent someone to kidnap you? Let her suffer
Grandpa Mason's face turned green when he saw Maia shrieking hysterically on the ground. He hastily instructed Uncle Ford, "Quick! Send Mai to a gynecologist!"Then, he shot Cedrick a hostile glare."Your heartless freak! Mai is pregnant with your child, so how could you do this to her? Did Catelyn make you do this?!"He had no idea that Cedrick had woken up.If it was not because of the guard who informed him that Eason pushed Cedrick up to the balcony, he would still be oblivious about this!Grandpa Mason was certain that it was Catelyn who did this.Cedrick saw Grandpa Mason panting as though he would pass out due to lack of oxygen. He did not explain further but merely passed to Grandpa Mason the footage that Catelyn secretly recorded.Grandpa Mason tapped on the video and took a hasty glance at it."This…""Someone tried to take my life, and I merely set a trap to catch them. The real culprit is your so-called 'granddaughter-in-law'. Oh, right, I forgot to inform you that
