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
After a short while, Cedrick's lips cracked into a smile as a chuckle escaped him."My child? Miss Maia Clark, I'm afraid your memory has regressed terribly. I remember telling you that I've had a vasectomy before."Cedrick did not want to entertain this disgusting woman, yet she insisted on lying!At this moment, Catelyn, still on Cedrick's lap and arms, looked at the man's well-defined jawline as she felt his chest rising and falling as he breathed.He had a vasectomy? That made sense why he was so sure that Maia's unborn was not his.Why did he not tell her there and then?Eason tapped on his phone, retrieved a photo, then passed it to Draco Mason. "Master, this is the archive of Master Cedrick's vasectomy surgery from four years ago."Draco held the phone firmly in his palm and looked straight into the screen for a long while. His face went dark before he angrily swung the phone to the floor in front of Maia.He could not believe that he had trusted this vicious woman!The
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
