Chapter 396 Don’t Leave Me

Author: Pear Heart
Baz hurriedly replied, "Errol escaped with a briefcase containing confidential information, but our people have caught up with him. We have arranged vehicles based on his escape route. Mr. Cedric, he won't get away! Ms. Maia will be safe!"

Baz followed Cedric's gaze to the broken reagent bottle on the ground and immediately understood what had happened.

"I'll go in person."

Cedric picked up Maia, who was slightly dazed, and quickly walked toward the entrance of the wine cellar.

Maia had no strength to speak. She felt her throat fill with the taste of blood. She could only grab his shirt weakly, but it was the most force she could muster.

In this way, she was telling him that she was okay. He felt her grasp on his shirt, but this seemingly nonexistent strength made his heart tremble. He tightened his arms around her.

The entire winery had become calm, and the people under Errol's command were already controlled by Cedric's bodyguards.

Then, he placed her in the luxury car and to

    Now, that was the only place he could hide. He could only escape through the mountain rails of Mount Xavier and seek help from the Fox family.During his drive, Errol continuously called Maia, but all calls went unanswered.Errol cursed, gripping the steering wheel tighter, and had to press down on the gas pedal again. The pursuing vehicles were relentless, and almost every road had cars intercepting. Errol's car was already battered. A few more collisions, and it might flip over.The sky was dark when he arrived at Mount Xavier. With the vehicle running out of fuel, Errol had no other choice but to abandon it. He ran toward the mountain, closely followed by numerous bodyguards.Inside the car, Cedric looked at Maia in his arms. She looked pale, almost transparent. He held her tightly, saying, "We'll catch him soon. Everything will be fine, okay?"Maia caught a glimpse of his worried expression. Indescribable anger, concern, and fear filled his red eyes, making his arms tremble in

    "Thank goodness, she's still conscious, just feeling cold and tired. At this point, he's on the verge of collapse, his heart sinking to the icy depths. Breathing has become difficult, yet he maintains a calm demeanor, not wanting her to worry if she sees him like this."Baz!"Baz quickly brings the freshly prepared blanket. Cedric wraps her in the blanket, preventing even a hint of cold wind from getting in. Her face is too pale, a stark contrast to her usual lively self."How much longer to the mountaintop?" He holds her tightly, feeling the temperature drop suddenly.Baz immediately responds, "We're almost there, just up this way!"Without waiting for Baz to finish, Cedric rushed towards the mountaintop, holding her.“Maia, it'll be okay. It will definitely be okay.”The cold mountaintop wind feels biting. The bodyguards, upon seeing Cedric, stood respectfully on either side. Errol, holding a silver suitcase, stood at the edge of the cliff. His hair was tousled by the freezing

    Maia lowered her gaze, watching as the snowflakes in her palm melted into water."She said that day when she held you, it happened to be snowing. It was the first snowfall of winter. She hoped you would remain as pure as that day when you first saw snow. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned."Maia gradually tightened her grip, and the snowflakes that had turned into water completely disappeared from her palm. It was just like the Errol from before... gone forever.Maia looked at him, smiling lightly. "Happy birthday, Errol."Errol's hand suddenly loosened, and the suitcase instantly dropped. At the same time, a gunshot rang out. The bullet instantly struck him, staining his clothes red with blood.Errol staggered backward, clutching his chest. "Cedric!" he shouted harshly. "You won't get the antidote in this lifetime! Even if I die today, I will take my sister with me!”Errol prepared to hook the silver suitcase with his foot. Baz pulled the trigger, and a bullet hit his

    "Hate is undeniable, but this hatred carries bitterness. He was my brother for more than 20years, and the scenes from the past are still vivid in my mind. “But who could’ve imagined that he was secretly plotting so much, making people drug me, and even causing so many deaths? But even so, when he jumped off just now, I didn't dare to look... I really didn't dare to look."As she spoke, Maia's voice trembled severely, and she instinctively buried her face in his chest.Maia could not lift her face again due to excruciating pain. With her delicate brows furrowed, she bit her lower lip hard. The pain, as Errol described it, was more intense this time, spreading relentlessly. It was excruciating, as if her heart would stop at any moment. This piercing pain made her shiver.She clenched her lower lip, enduring the stabbing pain. However, in the next second, she lost even the strength to bite her lip...It hurt her a lot. Cedric sensed the change in the person in his arms. He didn't

    “Name your terms,” he said coldly. “I like how you cut to the chase! I intended to threaten Errol with this medicine initially because I didn't like him. Little did I know it would become a ‘big help’ to you, Cedric!” Cedric's eyes grew darker at that. Big help? Did she seriously claim that she was helping him?“Your terms,” Cedric repeated himself briefly, not hiding the fact that he did not want to waste more time with her. “My terms are simple. The Fox family has a longer history than the Larkins. It has stood for a thousand years and it’ll be here for many millennia to come. As the matriarch of the family, I’d like to formally invite you to a dinner party. What say you, Cedric?”Lauren paused for a few seconds before continuing with a smile, “Take your time, Cedric. I’ll give you seven days to think about it. As far as I know, Maia could afford to wait for another seven days. “Take your time and ponder on my offer. After all, it’s quite momentous should you decide to atte

    Jerome smiled and said, “Rebecca is rather temperamental. Please excuse her.”Cedric chuckled. “Just do whatever you think is right, Rebecca.”“Come on, Cedric…” Jerome was speechless while his wife smiled and nodded. Then, Rebecca reminded Cedric, “Don’t let her drink any alcohol. It’ll affect the medicine’s effects.”“Understood.”Jerome touched Cedric’s arms lightly, “Give me a call anytime you need help.” With that, Jerome and Rebbeca left Prismara. The vast villa was exceptionally quiet after that.Baz looked at his master and said, “Are you really going to go through with this, Mr. Cedric?”“I am. Contact Paine tomorrow.”Baz was stunned for a few seconds. He did not really understand what was Cedric thinking, but he nodded at once. “Understood, Mr. Cedric.”…Cedric went back to the master bedroom. Maia was lying on the bed. She was not in pain as she had been before. Rebecca’s medicine was working well. Color had returned to her face. She almost looked like an ordi

    He lost his memories in the past. He had always chosen to trust in his own mother. He believed her when she said Maia was a scheming gold digger. Rita fed him stories that his first time with Maia at the hotel was a setup. Their marriage was also a setup. Maia was the reason for every bit of unhappiness in his life.He ate it all up and clung to it, using it as a reason to distance himself from her and take her for granted. However, the truth was, he had concerns about her. To put it plainly, he did not want to care about her because he had feelings for her.That was why he felt as if his heart had been torn apart the night he recovered his memories. Now, however, he was extremely content just to have her in his arms. He might have had only seven days with her but it was better than anything in the world.Maia’s eyes were filled with shock. She was dazed by what he had just said. “W-What did you say…?” she asked, sweetly and incredulously. He smiled in response and planted a kis

    “Rebecca was here.”“Rebecca? Do you mean Jerome’s wife?”Cedric nodded, “She neutralized the poison in you.”“Really?” Maia smiled jovially. “This explains why I feel much better when I wake up today. I no longer feel weak.”“You still have to rest more, though.” He tucked her in again. Then, he pinched her nose lightly and said lovingly, “I’ll fetch your lunch up here.”“I’m not that spoiled. I can go downstairs and have my lunch there.”“Can you still walk downstairs after what we did?” He looked at her casually and smiled.Maia ducked under the blanket as her face turned red. She rolled to the side and refused to talk to him again. Cedric chuckled and headed downstairs to fetch her lunch.Not long after that, her phone started buzzing. All kinds of notifications started flooding into her phone. Checking her phone, she saw that it was all about Aiken’s love life. It made it onto the trending topics list, with the word ‘scoop’ at the end of each search.Twitter was in a grid

    Amanda came to sit next to Maia as she said, “I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well. Lauren is usually quite into the drama that she’s watching on TV. Today’s episode was a sad one, so I was wondering why she was still so happy watching it.” Lauren smiled back at them and replied, “I’m just really happy. I’ve never thought that I’d be able to see my eldest son again and that he has such a kind and beautiful wife by his side. “Eddie was also able to find his loved one, and I was lucky enough to be a grandmother. I never thought that I’d be able to go on a family trip with all my sons.” She started to tear up.“Lauren, don’t cry,” Maia said as she handed Lauren a handkerchief to dry her tears. Lauren wiped her tears as she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just being dramatic.” She looked around and asked, “Where’s Cedric? Is he with Eddie?”Maia nodded. “Yeah. This new project is a bit of a hassle, so he went over to try to help.” Lauren sighed, “Eddie’s father an

    Cedric just smiled when he saw Maia’s worried reaction. “You sure you’ll keep your promise?” Maia tugged the blanket closer to herself and nodded. Maia would not dare to say no. If Cedric decided to do as he had said, she would just end up in bed the whole morning. “We can register our marriage anytime. You mean it?” She knew that Cedric was just baiting her, but she had no choice. She did not know what he would do next. When she glanced at his handsome face, her heart could not help but skip a beat. Just then, Cedric took out two pieces of paper from the bedside drawer. Maia was taken aback as she saw the document. They were marriage registration forms, and they were already filled in. “T-This was a setup! You’ve already had this all planned out from the beginning!” Maia scanned through the forms and was surprised to see that the only section left empty was the signature. Maia did not know when Cedric had started to prepare all this, but it looked like it had been a whil

    Cedric glanced at Baz and asked, “How does it feel to miss someone so much?”Baz’s smile froze as he shook his head quickly. “Now, I can finally understand why you hate being separated from Ms. Maia.”Cedric just looked at Baz coldly. Baz quickly added when he noticed Cedric’s glare, “I’m just saying that you love your wife very much, and that man who’s like you would definitely understand.”“That’s a fact,” Cedric replied as he turned around and walked back into the bedroom. Baz immediately stopped him as he asked. “Mr. Cedric, why don’t you tell Ms. Maia the real reason why you’re so against calling Ms. Lauren your mother? Why didn’t you tell her the scars on your back were inflicted by Ms. Rita?” It was a horrible and unimaginable part of his childhood. “I don’t want to frighten her.”“But it’s difficult for you as well, Mr. Cedric. Calling Ms. Lauren your mother brings back horrible memories for you too.” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll do anything for her.” Cedric replied as he

    “Is that true?” Gigi asked her grandmother.Lauren nodded and said, “Of course it is. Has grandma ever lied to you?”“Wow! Grandma, what was Daddy like when he was a kid?” Gigi was excited. She was not sleepy anymore as she pestered Lauren to tell her more. “Whenever I brought him to attend events, he would always cry. I still remember he had wet his pants once in kindergarten.” Gigi covered her mouth and giggled happily. Amanda laughed and looked at Eddie. “Did you really wet your pants?”Eddie palmed his forehead and told his mother, “Stop embarrassing me in front of my daughter, Mom.” Lauren just smiled happily back at her son. At the same time, Maia tugged on the hem of Cedric’s shirt and questioned cheekily, “Did you wet your pants when you were a kid?” Cedric drew her into his arms in response and threatened, “Maia, it seems like you won’t be able to go to bed tonight.” “I’m not afraid of your empty threats,” Maia replied. “Are you sure about that?”Maia nod

    It was hard to believe he’d change his mind out of nowhere. She blinked and gawked at him. She almost forgot to breathe because of the sheer shock. Her face turned red from it, too. “Hey, breathe.” Cedric frowned. He realized her eyes were widening and her cheeks were completely reddened. Then, her lungs worked, and she started drawing breath again. She gripped the hem of his shirt instinctively. “Hmm?” Cocking his brow, he looked at her casually while taking her hands in his. “Do you want to know why I changed my mind?”She nodded immediately. Needless to say, she wanted to spring that question on him, but she wondered if she should. On the other hand, he merely chuckled and didn’t say anything. All he did was fix a deep, passionate stare at her. His eyes were filled with love and affection when he did it. Realizing that he wasn’t going to talk, she was bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you saying anything?”His grin widened at what she said. Reaching out, he pinched her fair ch

    Taking his hands, she rested her fair cheeks on his palm.“Is there another reason you did it?” She asked. “I had someone plant something in the painting.”“What do you mean?” She pressed.“A wire.”Then, it hit her. “D-Does this mean you knew Fidelia would buy the painting at all costs?”“Mm-hmm.” He nodded.Pursing her lips, she said, “I guess it tracks. After all, Fidelia will surely buy anything you donate to Nordic College. She loves you so much that she peeled an entire bowl of prawns for you.”“Do peeling prawns mean she loves me?” He cocked his brow.She nodded instinctively.“Well, then. Do you know how much I love you now?”Maia was initially pondering something, but she was scattered the moment she heard what he said!Her face turned red. She couldn’t decide if she should nod or shake her head now. The only thing she could do now was change the topic. “Wait a minute. I just asked Gigi to bid on it. Did I almost mess up your plan?” Her brows were furrowed. She

    “Maia!” Amanda called out to her and hastened over. “D-Did you just say I was already on trending search?”“Mm-hmm.” Nodding, she handed her phone to Amanda. Amanda saw the search topic ‘Amanda Tate Burst Out Laughing.’ and was rooted to the spot.“H-How’s this already up there?”Maia chuckled. “There are so many people in the dining hall. There’s no way you can keep it from spreading on the internet for long. Even Gigi and Eddie got on the trending search. They were right behind you. “Valentines Group has also started working on the public relations angle. I browsed the internet and didn’t find any overly vicious remarks either. None of the marketing accounts were trying to stir up trouble either. All of Gigi’s pictures were censored as well. So, there’s nothing to be worried about here.”Amanda let out a sigh of relief at what she said. “It’s a good thing that no one attacked Gigi on the internet. Otherwise, I’m going to start chasing them with a machete that’s one foot long!

    “Why, you!” Fidelia took the glass of fruit juice from the table and spilled it all over him!The sticky juices clung to his cheeks for a second before rolling down them.“Listen up, plastic face! It doesn’t matter if I can’t lay a finger on Maia because Cedric loves and protects her. It isn’t your place to make fun of me! Who do you think you are, Neilson? “You’re nothing more than my family’s lap dog. Look at how stiff your face is. You’ve wasted a perfectly good glass of fruit juice!”Staring at him angrily, Fidelia warned him nastily. She was so gripped with rage that her chest was rising and falling hastily. Then, she gritted her teeth and threw the empty glass at him.Catching the glass midair, he lowered his head. “You make a fine point, Ms. Fidelia.” Wiping the fruit juice from his cheeks, he apologized again. “Please calm down, Ms. Fidelia. You have to look at where we are now. It’d be wise not to make Mr. Thomas mad again.”“Are you seriously warning me again? Who do

    Maia made up a reason so Amanda could take Gigi away. Amanda nodded, carried her daughter, and left the scene. All Gigi did was speak the truth, but Fidelia’s face grew grim and shot the three-year-old girl a terrible look. It was clear that Fidelia might do something outrageous to Gigi again if she didn’t divert her attention from the little girl. After all, Fidelia didn’t care about the consequences of her actions at all!So, she looked at Fidelia and said, “I’m not sure why you kept trying to win my husband’s heart, but I’ve been sitting here the whole time. Are you ignoring me on purpose? Or, are you so arrogant that you care only about Cedric and nobody else?”Fidelia immediately shifted her gaze to Maia. Glaring at her, she directed all of her anger and frustration at Maia. “What are you trying to say, Maia? My dad saved Cedric’s life. So, is there anything wrong with me peeling the shrimp for him? What’s the problem if I try to win his heart? What does it have to do with
