In any case, Cedrick also had to figure out why Catelyn was suddenly so distant from him. At times like this, he needed her by his side even more.Twenty minutes later, the doctor retrieved the surveillance footage of the operating room.In the video, Catelyn was seen lying flat on the bed. She was told to spread her legs to do some preliminary examinations. Moments later, the laparoscopic surgery began, which lasted about forty or fifty minutes…Cedrick did not blink an eye as he watched the entire process, including the bloody part.As the female doctor said, the child was not in complete form. It was just a lump of flesh and blood.Cedrick's heart froze, and his lips pursed tightly."Master Cedrick, are you okay?" asked the female doctor with a face full of concern."Send this video to my email," said Cedrick. He stood up as he finished, resting one hand on the edge of the table, feeling uncomfortable, as if there was something very heavy stuck in his chest.The surveillan
Edwin glared at him coldly in response.He stood in the rainstorm. His coat was all wet, sticking to his skin.Despite the chilly surrounding temperature, his eyes were colder than the winter wind.Now that the car window was lowered, Edwin quickly glanced at the rear seat. It was empty."Where's the girl in your car?" Edwin asked in a frightening manner.The driver was taken aback by his intimidating aura. "Who? There's no one in my car," he stammered."I watched her get into your car with my own eyes. Shall I bring you to the police station with me?" replied Edwin as he raised his voice, his eyebrows rising slightly."Oh, you mean that girl from earlier? She asked me to stop as soon as she got off the elevated road," said the driver as he suddenly realized and hurriedly pointed to the direction behind him.Edwin did not speak, and just stared at the driver."What I said is true. She suddenly rushed out of the road to stop the car, saying that she couldn't walk back, so I k
The girl who was sobbing raised her head and ducked back. "Who are you?"Edwin was stunned. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was mistaken."It was not Joanne!Where did she go?...An hour later, Edwin received a call from the manor housekeeper, asking when he was returning and whether he needed to prepare his portion for dinner tonight.Edwin asked for Joanne, only to find out that she had already gone back.So his efforts to look for her were all for nothing?Edwin eventually returned to the manor.The servants were all shocked to see his drenched and gloomy face.Edwin did not even bother with them, and he walked straight to Catelyn's room.At the moment, Joanne was watching TV and listening to music with her for prenatal education in Catelyn's room.As she heard the door knocking, she thought it was Kelly who was bringing her food again. She threw away the picture book, turned her head, and walked towards the door. "Aunt Kelly, are you trying to raise me as a pig? The doc
"It's all thanks to her!" said Edwin as he looked at Joanne.She retorted angrily. "What does it have to do with me? I didn't ask you to come to look for me in the rain. Why are you blaming me?"Edwin's face turned dark as he heard Joanne's words. Catelyn was speechless as well. Joanne was pretty bold today."Kitty, I apologize," Edwin said suddenly.Catelyn was confused. "What for?""I'll be taking Joanne away from you for now," replied Edwin. He then stretched his hands out and dragged Joanne to his bedroom."Ah! No! Kitty, save me!" Joanne let out a piercing cry.As Edwin brought her into his room, he pressed her against the door and kissed her deeply....They both were doing it until it was almost midnight. After two hours, Edwin was finally done. He lowered his head and left a kiss on Joanne's forehead. "Don't you ask me for a divorce without giving birth to a child. I know that you want to break the contract. Because of that, you'll never make it big for the rest of you
"You don't look tired. Wipe my hair for me," said Edwin.Joanne suspected that he did not hear her words clearly, and repeated, "Your first love, she is now…""Did you hear me? Wipe my hair for me, or don't sleep tonight. Your choice," said Edwin as he sat down at the edge of the bed.It looked like he did not care about that girl's safety after all.After all, Edwin was a well-known playboy in Sapphire City.It was said that the most difficult thing for a man to forget is his first love. However, Edwin did not seem bothered at all that this girl was alone and drunk in a bar.Would Joanne be treated the same way the moment she gave birth to a child and divorced him?She took the towel and started wiping Edwin's head. His hair was of good quality. Even though he had just finished bathing, it was still very fluffy. It seemed that he had applied some essential oil while bathing earlier.Joanne could not have but to play with his short hair. She was having a little fun until she re
Edwin did not return all night.Joanne suffered from a severe lack of sleep and woke up with two big dark circles under her eyes the next morning.Her eyes were closed when she went down for her breakfast."Joanne, I heard from Kelly that Eddy came back angrily last night. Did you both argue? Is that why you couldn't sleep?" asked Old Madam Atherton with concern."Ah?" Joanne's eyes widened in shock. She shook her head repeatedly. "No, no! We didn't quarrel, but I had a nightmare...""Look at your dark circles… Get some more sleep after dinner. Don't tire yourself out," said the old lady."Okay. Thank you, Grandma." Joanne nodded.Old Madam Atherton admired Joanne's simple temperament.She had seen a lot of women with bad intentions in her life. Joanne's character was something very pleasing to her.Catelyn was the calmest among the people present, as she knew what had happened in the room between Edwin and Joanne.From the outside, Joanne was a pregnant woman, and Edwin coul
Edwin smirked. "Every man has their ex-girlfriends. Why are you being so nosy?""I'm just afraid you'll get into trouble and affect Catelyn and me indirectly. The doctor says you should quit drinking and smoking," said Cedrick as he glanced at Edwin indifferently. Edwin had been refraining from smoking and drinking as he yearned to be a father.The fact that he had started picking up the smoking habit again only meant that this Noah lady was someone who was pretty important to him....Cedrick left Edwin's ward and went straight to the elevator.Ding!The elevator door opened. As Cedrick was about to step inside, he was met with a fully coated woman.Catelyn was also stunned for a second, looking back at Cedrick in surprise.What was he doing here?No, she was so heavily clothed and masked. Perhaps he would not recognize her.Catelyn and Joanne ducked back together. At this moment, there was no one else in the elevator. They had nowhere else to hide.Cedrick shifted his ga
Catelyn forced herself to calm down as she met Cedrick's eyes with her own, though brimming with tears.Catelyn stared at Cedrick as she yelled, "If you think my sadness is just to hide my guilt, then tell me: How can I not think about our deceased child whenever I look into your eyes? Even though it was just an embryo that hasn't taken shape, I still have nightmares every day, dreaming that they'd come and ask why I didn't want them!"Cedrick's sharp stare loosened its intensity, and so did his grip on her lower jaw."Have you ever heard of a fetal spirit?" said Catelyn, laughing sardonically. "Rumor has it that every fetus has a fetal spirit, and if their parents cruelly abort them, they'll stalk their parents for the rest of their life!""It's just a rumor, and we chose to abort the child because they weren't cared for in the womb. The fetus would've threatened your life if they stayed! Even with a fetal spirit, they'd understand that you chose to do that to protect yourself."
