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
She had been instructing him left and right, while he had been fulfilling every of her commands. He was starting to question if Maia had ever loved him.He then laughed. She did not even care about him. Why would she love him?Grandpa Mason's blood pressure went up a little too much, almost triggering his hypertension, and he was panting profusely. He pointed his finger at Maia and Richard as his eyeballs rolled upward."You… You shameless couple!"Maia did not expect Richard to confess, and so she panicked. "Richard, what bull crap are you talking about?""Bull crap? I had even recorded a video of you and I. Do you need me to show everyone now?" Richard snickered. "You…" Maia looked terribly displeased. She had not expected to record that and cried, "Didn't you promise that no matter what happened, you would not involve the baby and me?""I have given you everything and would even give you my heart if I can, but you wanted my life. What other secrets can I keep for you?"
"Had I not treated you well all these? You only wanted me dead!"He had mustered all his strength and channeled it onto his palm, Maia's face almost dislocated from receiving the slap. Everything fell silent. Maia could feel her blood boiling in her vessels. She looked at Richard in disbelief. "You slapped me? How dare you slap me? I could kill your child right now! I… I…"Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her head heavy. She did not manage to catch her last breath and passed out immediately. The police officers saw this and immediately came forward to control the situation. Richard pushed the police away and then held Maia in his arms affectionately, not allowing anyone to get near to them. He muttered, "Why did you never love me? I had always loved you…"The police officers exchanged looks. They were not moved by the scene at all but only felt it spooky. …That night, Cedrick received a message.Richard was caught and sent to prison. Maia was sent to the pri
"I did not expect that either."She was not as shocked before, even with the previous incident of the billboard crash. After all, if he were fast enough, they would still have a high chance of being injured. This time around, he clearly knew that there was something wrong with the car but still insisted on driving it…She understood clearly that hurting and being touched were two separate matters. Just like contributions and mistakes, they could not be simply set off against each other. Nevertheless, she knew that when he 'resurrected', there was a tiny person in her screaming for her to believe him once again. Therefore, she lost, she lost it to his crazy pursuit. …In the ward next door, Eason and Cedrick were discussing who was behind the kidnap. When he and Charles received the message and rushed to the sharp turn, Cedrick had already fallen from the cliff, and Catelyn was unconscious in the bushes.The other few assassins decided to finish Catelyn first. At the c
Her voice was so soft, like a tiny little brush caressing gently on his heart. Cedrick's heart melted."Fine. May I please ask who is the lady behind me?"Catelyn then released her hands and pinched his cheek revengefully. "Not fun at all."His vision came back to light. Cedrick turned around to see Catelyn pouting and could not help but tease, "How come I never knew that you liked such childish games?"He was suggesting that she was childish! This was just entertainment!Catelyn threw him a scornful look and then pushed him back into the dining room angrily.Back in the dining room, the dining table was already filled with plenty of food. Other than the simple healthy food to help with Cedrick's recovery, there were also a few other dishes that Catelyn usually enjoyed. Even desserts were included. Catelyn had a hard time looking through what was available. Cedrick sat on Catelyn's right side, the both of them sitting so close together. He passed the cutlery to her. "I heard
