"I already knew everything you told me. But still, I can't accept it because he's my father…" muttered Catelyn."So what if he's your father? Sometimes, even family could be deceiving, just like Eugene and Old Madam Atherton. The old lady had only left one-fifth of her assets for Eugene.What happened?She almost lost her life!"Time will tell. But for now, I will not allow Ezekiel to hurt our children. I will find out his motives and protect you at all costs," said Cedrick affectionately.Catelyn felt more assured as she listened to Cedrick's words. She raised her head and kissed his chin. Yes, no matter what her father tried to do, Cedrick would be here to protect her and the baby....Even if Tracy was reluctant, her marriage with Trevor was already on the way.What a coincidence, it was actually held on the same day as Catelyn's wedding!Old Madam Atherton had the intention to promote Tracy as she discussed further with the elder of the Jones Family. In the end, the tw
Trevor's voice, the moment it rang next to Tracy's ears, sent goosebumps down her skin."This marriage was decided by the elders against my will, and you know that!""Whether you like it or not, you're my bride-to-be, so get with it!"Several photographers and staff members in the photo studio were waiting to take wedding photos for them. Tracy was so frightened that her face turned pale. "You don't love me, yet you insist on having me put on a show with you. Don't you think it's hypocritical for such an affectionate drama?"Rip!Trevor tore at the veils at the hem of her wedding dress the moment she spoke. He then pushed her face against the wall, and she began to struggle in panic."Agh! Trevor, what are you doing? Let me go!""Get out!" Trevor yelled at the staff in the room, his gaze burning.It was the first time the photographers saw the groom-to-be glowering and pressing the bride-to-be against the wall. However, with Trevor's status, they did not dare to offend them, so
When Catelyn finished helping Miles and Ollie in finishing their homework in the evening, she received a call from Grandpa Albert."Madam, do you have a moment to spare?" pleaded the butler on the other end of the line. "Can you return to Mason Estate now? Master Cedrick has been drinking tonight, and he's been calling your name in the living room…"Cue the sounds of something seemingly smashed to the floor and falling apart in the background.Catelyn stood up from the couch in shock. "Is he throwing something?"Since they got together, Cedrick had quitted smoking and drinking. Although he occasionally smoked or drank, he never got himself drunk.Even if he was drunk, he would not have gone that crazy.Catelyn sensed that something had gone wrong."I don't know! Madam, come back quickly! Apart from you, Master Cedrick doesn't listen to anyone now, and we can't talk him out of it!"Catelyn hurriedly agreed, hung up the phone, changed into a heavy down jacket, and was about to go
Knowing he could not hide the truth from Catelyn at this point, Grandpa Albert sheepishly admitted, "Master Cedrick didn't do it on purpose.""Even if it wasn't on purpose, he shouldn't hit you!"Grandpa Albert took care of Cedrick for so many years. To Catelyn, Cedrick had no business whatsoever to hit an old man like this.'What the hell is he doing?! That's not a good excuse to hit Grandpa Albert!'"Is the pick-me-up ready? When it's done, bring it over and feed it to him."Grandpa Albert looked at Catelyn's lower abdomen concernedly, and then at the unconscious Cedrick. Cedrick accidentally knocked over a vase before she came, and the broken piece cut his ankle, causing him to bleed.Master Cedrick had to be awake. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the doctor to treat the wound.Grandpa Albert asked a maid to get the sobering soup and stretched out his hand to help Cedrick. "Master Cedrick, didn't you keep calling for your wife just now? She's here now. May I help you
The maids probably knew that Cedrick would break the bowl, so they prepared several bowls of sobering soup.Catelyn gritted her teeth, took another bowl, and—after testing its temperature—splashed it onto Cedrick's face. "Wake the f*ck up!"Splash! The pick-me-up dripped down Cedrick's head.The soup, along with a few mung bean skins, dribbled down Cedrick's face, and the collar of his shirt was also dirtied by the pick-me-up. He trembled all over and blinked.Needless to say, he looked downright flustered.Grandpa Albert was scared witless upon seeing this. Catelyn was too aggressive!It was the first time he saw someone dare to splash liquid onto Cedrick's face.Cedrick came to his senses entirely. He stared at Catelyn deeply, letting a mung bean skin stick to the tip of his nose, but his breathing grew a little heavy due to anger.Catelyn's pupils contracted by his stare, but she straightened her body stiffly. "I don't know what happened, but you should look at how disgustin
Catelyn stayed in Mason Estate for the whole night, and the next day, when it was time to go to her maternity checkup, Cedrick abandoned all his work and went to the private hospital with her.…"Doctor, how is my baby?"Catelyn and Cedrick sat in the doctor's consultation office, waiting for the doctor to announce the examination results.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the joy and anticipation could not be concealed in her eyes.To be frank, she did not expect that she would get pregnant so soon. Nonetheless, she swore to protect Miles and Ollie's new sibling no matter what.When she was pregnant four years ago, Cedrick was not by her side. Four years later, being able to experience pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy with him, she had no regrets anymore.However, what made Catelyn feel a little uneasy was that after reading the examination report, the expression on the doctor's face gradually became very serious."Is something wrong with my child?" Catelyn asked n
"No!" Catelyn roared almost instantly, slamming the table and standing up. "Quack doctors! You're all quack doctors! You couldn't find it out before, so this is probably another mistake!"Ceddy, I don't want to be examined here. Let's go to another hospital!"Her sadness was awfully tangible and hung in the air.Cedrick had a serious expression on his face. Seeing how agitated she was, he immediately hugged her to comfort her.Moments later, after making sure that Catelyn was no longer burning with intense rage, he looked at the doctor coldly and said, "If you dare to lie, you should know the consequences.""I wouldn't dare to lie to you, Master Cedrick! Your wife has an ectopic pregnancy, and it can't be delayed any longer. She needs to undergo surgery right away."Cedrick took a deep breath, suppressed the despair in his eyes, put his hands on Catelyn's shoulders, and looked at her. His voice sounded suppressed, making it appear extraordinarily deep."This pregnancy is ectopic
Cedrick paused as he caressed her lower abdomen, feeling the urge to keep her from entering the operating room. Eventually, he let her go."Go. I'll wait for you outside."Catelyn followed the medical staff into the operating room without hesitation.Everything was ready in the operating room. The nurse held the anesthetic in her hand, pointed to the operating table in front of her, and said politely, "Missus Mason, please untie half of your trousers, lie on the bed with your legs open, and I'll give you an anesthetic."Catelyn did not feel embarrassed at all when she was asked to unbutton her trousers, but she felt the urge to run away from the door.Looking at the word [Gynecology] on the doors of the operating room, she was lost in thought.Catelyn took off her trousers slowly and lay down on the operating table according to the doctor's instructions.She closed her eyes and kept telling herself, 'God has His plan.'The female doctor saw her accepting her fate and exchanged
