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
Catelyn's actions were faster than her thoughts as she pressed the answer button without thinking any further."Cat? You're finally willing to answer my call!" Ezekiel was overwhelmed with surprise as he continued, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you..."Catelyn pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said flatly, "I have an ectopic pregnancy, so you don't have to bother trying to abort my baby in the future.""Ectopic pregnancy?" Ezekiel's voice suddenly rose, sounding entirely baffled."Yes." Catelyn covered her face in pain and cried, "I'm in the operating room now, and I'm going to have surgery soon. Are you satisfied now?"Ezekiel remained silent for a while. "You're my daughter, so why would I feel better seeing you suffering? Are you sure that your pregnancy is ectopic, however? The report I got at that time showed that the gestational sac appears to be in the uterine cavity.""What did you just say?!" Catelyn clenched the phone tightly with her mind blown.
If it was shocking that her pregnancy was found to be 'ectopic', then finding out that everything was forged by Cedrick at this moment was no less than a catastrophe.'It was him after all…Dad didn't lie. It was Cedrick who's deceived me…'"If it wasn't for Master Cedrick's request, how would we dare make such a life-and-death decision? Madam, please believe me!" begged the doctor, still explaining herself.Catelyn stabilized her precarious body and sneered coldly, "If you violated your professional ethics as a doctor just because someone threatened you, what's the difference between you and an executioner?""I—I'm sorry…""Do you know why he wants to abort the child?""Master Cedrick didn't say anything. He only said that we needed to forge a report that said you have an ectopic pregnancy so you'd agree to remove the child surgically."Catelyn stretched out her hand to caress her lower abdomen. Her eyes were filled with determination, adamant in not letting him succeed regardle
It was not the woman's beauty that attracted Edwin.This lady, Noah Sinclair, was his first love.Due to Edwin's parents' tumultuous marriage, Edwin used to be rebellious when he was in his early twenties. To run from the quarrels of his parents, he went abroad to study alone.While abroad, he met Noah.She, too, was an exchange student, and they spent wonderful moments together while studying. Later, Sylvie told Edwin to return to America, and he brought Noah with him.He wanted to take her to meet her parents and marry her, but the moment Noah knew that he was the grandson of Granny Atherton, she incessantly asked him for money. At that moment, he accepted this due to his belief that men should earn money for their wives to spend.Unfortunately, she crossed the line.When he came home on one fateful day, he stumbled upon Noah having sex with a man 20 years older than her in the luxury suite he bought for her. According to Noah, she had no father growing up, so she longed to be
After a while, Edwin whistled indifferently and casually replied, "I only look at the results, and I don't want to know the process. Besides, I want to tell you that I'm married. Do you think I'm still pining after you?"'M—Married?!' Noah's eyes widened in sheer shock."You're lying to me so I'd give up. Many reporters stalk you the moment you leave your house every day. If you get married, how can there be no news?"She refused to believe he was married.Edwin sneered, full of anger. "Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, I have a wife.""Your family probably arranged for this, didn't they? You don't love her, right?" spoke Noah, rather sad and helpless. "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have left you, but I can't help it. Your father came to threaten me with my Mom's safety. If I hadn't broken up with you, my Mom would've died!"Eddy, I love you! The scene you saw in the suite years ago was fake. I spent a thousand dollars on that just to break up with you."Edwin clenched his fis
Cedrick had thought of staying at Atherton Manor so that he could take care of Catelyn.Oddly enough, after returning to the manor, Catelyn lost weight quickly over just a few days, and all the new clothes Joanne had bought for her looked too loose on her.Whenever she ate, she would only take a few bites before she would run upstairs and lock herself in the room, not allowing anyone to get close.This time was no different; Cedrick was locked out of the door.He knocked on the door repeatedly, hoping she would open the door to let him in. After returning from the hospital, she had been acting abnormally, shutting herself in the room all the time, and he had no idea what she was doing.After he finally got in, he noticed that her face was pale.He wanted to stay by her side all the time, talk to her, and make up for the pain of losing a son, but she always turned her back against him whenever he was before her, and she even rolled up the quilt and pretended to sleep.This time,
Catelyn feebly grabbed Joanne's wrist before she could run, whimpering, "No! Don't tell Cedrick! I didn't have a miscarriage at all; the baby's still here. It's Cedrick who wants to trick me into killing the baby..."Joanne's mouth widened in shock."W—What? Master Cedrick wants to trick you into killing off your child?"Joanne thought that Cedrick cared about her and the child the most, more than anyone else. The day he found out that Catelyn was pregnant, he was elated for several days. Even if he did not show it, everyone could tell that he was looking forward to the arrival of that child.There were several times she found Cedrick looking through books for a suitable name for the child."I wished that this was a lie, too…but it's all true. The doctor he bribed told me this. I don't have an ectopic pregnancy at all, yet he threatened the doctor to make me believe in that."Catelyn took Joanne's hand and pinned her last hope on her, her lips trembling slightly. "Listen to me. I
As it turned out, Edwin did not know why Cedrick wanted to kill the fetus.Instead, Joanne noted that Edwin had been rather preoccupied.She liked to hug something or would place her legs on something when she slept at night to feel at ease.She and Edwin lived in the same room in Atherton Manor, which meant they shared the same bed.For two nights in a row, Joanne vaguely heard the sound of rustling. She noticed that Edwin would go to the balcony to make a phone call one night.His figure seemed to be a little restless.Joanne did not even realize that she stared at his back at the phone for more than half an hour.When Edwin came back from the balcony after making the phone call, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Edwin closed the balcony door lightly, feeling slightly cold due to the night air.There was a heater in the room. He planned to sit for a while before lying on the bed but inadvertently noticed that Joanne's beautiful fan-like eyelashes we
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
