Why was her heart aching because of Cornell? He was unfaithful, right?
In the hospital.
When Cornell walked in, he saw that Cecilia was lying on the bed and Jocelyn was feeding her water.
As soon as Cecilia saw him, she instructed Jocelyn to make tea.
“Cecilia, did you ask the driver to drive you to my house today?”
Cornell had a deadpan, giving off a cold aura.
“Yes, I did.”
Looking at Cornell’s cold face, Cecilia felt a bit uneasy. She softly said, “Earlier, I went there to give Audrey some fish soup to help her recover faster. But it seems she wasn’t happy with my visit.”
“Since she wasn’t happy, you two should avoid each other from now on,”
Cornell said indifferently.
“I swear, I have no ill intentions against Reagan. I only went there to express my gratitude to her for taking care of you so well. But on my way out, I noticed she didn’t look well.”
Cecilia pulled the sleeve of Cornell’s shirt and asked with feigned worry, “Is there something wrong with her?”
“No.” His tone suggested that he was done with the conversation.
“Cornell, are you mad at me for visiting Audrey without letting you know? If you are, I promise not to go there again. My curiosity drove me there. I just wanted to see how severe her injuries were.”
As she spoke, her tears rustled down and she cried very sadly.
“Did Audrey say something to you?”
When Cornell saw Cecilia crying again, his brows knitted as he said gently, “Stop crying. I’m not mad at you.”
At this time, Jocelyn returned with a teacup in her hand. She quickly handed a handkerchief to Cecilia and said anxiously, “Cecilia, you didn’t sleep well Last night because of the pain, and now you are crying so hard. Isn’t that worsening the pain? If your father know about this, he will be heartbroken.”
Cornell furrowed his brows.
“You were in pain again Last night? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I have experienced worse, so I just decided to endure it. Besides, it was already late. I didn’t want to disturb you back then,” Cecilia explained pitifully.
She mastered the art of not going too far.
At this time, Jocelyn chimed in, “Cecilia, I don’t think Mr. Clement minds being disturbed. You two are about to get married. Why be so polite?”
This was an obvious hint.
After saying that, the two of them looked at Cornell eagerly. They were waiting for his response.
Cornell just said casually, “It doesn’t matter what time it is. If you are in so much pain and you can’t bear it, just give me a call.”
He didn’t mention anything about marriage.
Before Cecilia and Jocelyn could speak, he took a look at his watch and said, “Gotta go. Go to bed early, Cecilia.”
Cecilia and Jocelyn were soon left alone in the ward.
With a sad expression, Cecilia collapsed on the bed and kicked like a child.
“Jocelyn, did you hear that? What did he just say?”
Audrey didn’t like seeing her and they should avoid each other from now on? What did that mean?
His implication was that he didn’t want her to see Audrey anymore!
Had Audrey become so important to him? More important than her?
Cecilia’s breathing quickened as her face twisted irritably.
Jocelyn hurriedly put her arm around Cecilia’s shoulder and comforted, “Don’t be sad. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I think he just doesn’t want you to have an altercation. Stay calm.”
“How can I stay calm!” Cecilia looked pale and said in a trembling voice, “That bitch is pregnant.”
“What!” Jocelyn was stunned.
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!” Tears continued to flow from Cecilia’s eyes.
“Jocelyn, what should I do?”
A sinister smirk curved up Jocelyn’s lips as she replied, “Just make her baby disappear.”
“But what if Cornell catches me in the act? He has been suspicious of me lately.”
“It would be foolish to do such a thing by yourself. You need to make others do the dirty work, so your hands will be unstained,”
Jocelyn said meaningfully.
Her eyes then fell on Cecilia’s neck. The red marks were exposed when Cecilia moved just now. It looked so much like a hickey.
“Don’t see Cornell these days,” Jocelyn suggested, rubbing her chin.
Cecilia asked in panic, “Why?”
“Men love pure women. If he sees the marks on your neck, do you think he will marry you?” Jocelyn pointed out bluntly.
At the mention of this, Cecilia swiped the objects on the table to the floor.
She had curves to die for and her face was prettier than most. Her style was also good.
What more could a man want from a woman? Why did Cornell not want her?
Cecilia had made all those red marks on her neck just to fool Audrey into buying her story. It hurt a lot!
After thinking Jocelyn’s advice through, Cecilia picked up her phone and dialed a number.
“Tessa? Sorry for not calling you earlier. I have been a little busy lately. About that investment plan you told me about…”
It had been a week since Audrey last saw Cornell. Perhaps he was still mad at her.
Although Luciana had paid her a visit and asked about Cornell, Audrey tactfully avoided the topic. She didn’t want to create a rift between them.
She was supposed to get her stitches out today. Luciana called her early and offered to take her to the hospital.
Audrey had just finished dressing up when the maid called her downstairs.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw a man waiting at the door.
He was dressed in a dark suit, with a nonchalant expression while talking on the phone. The gemstone cufflinks emitted a faint blue light under the sunlight. He looked like a perfect gentleman.
