And then…Two clear lines were seen!Catelyn covered her mouth in disbelief and gasped. "Am… Am I dreaming? Am I really pregnant?"Cedrick's pupils shrank as well.Rats! He should have figured it out earlier!Catelyn's appetite was quite bad recently, and she had been vomiting all the time. How could it be just a simple gastrointestinal problem?Hold on… It seemed that she mentioned before that her period was coming.Was it possible to have a period during pregnancy?Could that period be a sign of a miscarriage?!Catelyn thought of it as well, and she anxiously clutched her lower abdomen. "Oh, I ate so much cold food. Will it affect the child?""I'll take you to the hospital for a detailed physical examination right away," said Cedrick as he put away the measuring cup and pregnancy test stick.Although he looked calm, he kept staring at Catelyn from the corner of his eyes. Catelyn did not doubt that he would grab her if she were to fall down accidentally.Seeing the two com
Cedrick was not around with Catelyn when she was pregnant with twins.This time, he would make sure to be with her the entire time.Yael looked at the blood drawn from Catelyn's body as if it were a rare specimen. He had always wanted to study her since she could give birth to two healthy children.However, Cedrick had always refused his proposal, not wanting to involve Catelyn in this.Now that Catelyn was aware of the genetic virus in Cedrick's body, she had no choice but to draw blood for Yael for the safety of the child in her womb.This was a wonderful opportunity for Yael."I'll study her blood thoroughly. Don't worry. Since Catelyn could give birth to Ollie and Miles without any problems, she should be safe this time," he said to Cedrick."I hope so," replied Cedrick. He stood in the corridor, looking through the glass window of the room in which Catelyn was going through a B-ultrasound procedure.Cedrick could not help but feel uneasy about this. It was almost certain t
"I will not allow you to say such depressing words!" The aura around Cedrick instantly condensed as if he was wrapped in a layer of frost. Realizing that he was actually serious about this, Catelyn's back shivered.He really wanted a girl.God, let's pray that she will have a daughter.Cedrick proposed to let Catelyn stay in the hospital for a few more days. However, she refused. She had only been in the hospital for a few days, and she was already fed up with all the white walls in the ward.She wanted to go home to rest…On the way back home to the Athertons, Cedrick deliberately drove slowly, his speed just slightly faster than that of an electric vehicle. He made sure that the drive back was stable so that Catelyn would not feel any discomfort.Catelyn felt touched by Cedrick's actions.He really put in a lot of effort to take good care of her…She could not help but think of her pregnancy four years ago.Back then, being pregnant was really a big deal for her. Having twin
"What's up with her?" asked Grandpa Mason."She is pregnant," replied Cedrick.The old man was really taken aback as if he had just struck gold. He walked around the study with an ecstatic expression on his face. "Really? I'm going to have a little great-grandson again? In that case, we shall not delay it any longer. The sooner the wedding is over, the sooner everyone will feel at ease. I will come over tomorrow and discuss it with Syl.""Wait, don't tell Old Madam Atherton," said Cedrick.Draco frowned. "Catelyn's pregnancy is a good thing. Why don't you plan to tell her?""Have you forgotten your genetic disease?" Cedrick asked coldly.The initial surprise of the old man gradually dissipated, and his face now looked anxious.Darci slumped back in his chair irritably, his eyes were cloudy, and he laughed at himself. "Yeah, how could I forget those viruses? Go get Catelyn tested then, see if the child in her womb is healthy.""You don't have to tell me. I've already got Yael to
Joanne did not respond to Edwin, apparently already peacefully asleep.She still had a round-looking baby face, not exactly the most popular kind of look at the moment. There was a rumor that a director once suggested Joanne go for plastic surgery to broaden her acting career. Otherwise, it would be difficult to become popular in the entertainment circle.However, Joanne refused. Instead, she told the director that her baby face was her special trademark look. If she had removed that, she would have lost her identity.Edwin was thinking wildly beside Joanne, and she suddenly snuggled into him like a restless animal…With such a beautiful woman embracing him like this, Edwin did not know how to fall asleep.The next day, he woke up early, at five in the morning.Joanne was asleep soundly in his arms, with her face on his chest. He could hear her breathing sound, which sounded like a snore. Edwin was not turned off by it, and he felt that it was rather cute.Suddenly, his cell pho
Knowing that she was pregnant, Catelyn quickly realized that she had spent less time with her two boys. She quickly changed her clothes and went out to the garden with her children.They built an oversized snowman using carrots, buttons, and branches as the body parts. The snowman ended up being taller than all of them.Catelyn could not be exposed to the cold too much, so she just helped the boys with the tools' preparation. The rest of the snowman building was done by the two boys.As they were done, Catelyn wrapped her scarf around the snowman's neck, and Ollie placed a bucket on the snowman's head."What a cool snowman! I'll get the camera and take a picture!" squealed Miles as he jumped on the spot excitedly. He then ran into the living room to get his camera."Slow down! You might fall!" Catelyn shouted behind him.Ollie was busy building a snowy Spyderman, which was difficult for Catelyn. She had built many snowmen, but Spyderman? Now that's a challenge.She searched for
"Dad, I want to ask you a question," said Catelyn."What is it?""Back then, when you took my examination report for me from the hospital, did the doctor really say that I only had a stomach problem?" Catelyn asked as she stared at her father, not wanting to miss any of his facial expressions. She caught a hint of entanglement in his eyes, and her heart sank a little.Her father already knew she was pregnant long ago!That was the reason why Ezekiel had been reminding her about the many things that she could not eat.But why? Catelyn could not figure out why he would want to hide this from her."Did you already know?" Ezekiel said nervously.Catelyn asked knowingly, "About what?"Ezekiel fell silent and closed his eyes gently. "Are you here to test me?"Catelyn still cared about Ezekiel very much. After all, he was her father. Seeing his tangled demeanor, Catelyn's heart softened."No, I'm not here to test you. I just wondered if there was a misunderstanding. Did the doctor
Ezekiel's words had been haunting Catelyn as she returned to the Atherton residence."It's just a small embryo now, not my grandchild!"Just because the baby was still an embryo, could her father arbitrarily deprive him of his right to live?Catelyn did not have the appetite for her meals all night.Cedrick delivered some supplements to Catelyn as he got off work and was told by the servants that she had not eaten anything at night.He went to the second floor and lightly pushed open the door of the master bedroom. He saw a figure on the bed suddenly shrink into the quilt as if avoiding something. Cedrick's sharp dark eyes narrowed, quickly realizing that something was wrong.Did Catelyn not go and find her father this afternoon?Why was she so depressed? Did she find out that Ezekiel had deliberately changed her medical report?Just as Cedrick walked to the edge of the bed, Catelyn suddenly sat up as if nothing had happened. She pointed to the garden outside the window with a
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
