Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 1001

Chapter 1001

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."

"Is that so?" Catelyn could not help but question that.

Cedrick's face changed sharply, and his eyes narrowed. "What did you say?"

Catelyn shook her head. 'I mean, even though the fetal spirit will protect me, I'll still think about them every time I see you. Your face will remind me that we signed the consent to the operation that ended their life!"

Catelyn had rehearsed her refutation countless times in her mind.

Her blindly conceding in their relationship would only make him more domineering in their marriage, so she must preemptively make him feel the pain that she had felt first to make him believe in her.

He could not tell whether he was relieved or even more uncomfortable to hear her explanation as he stubbornly stared at Catelyn silently.

Ba-bump. Ba-bump. Ba-bump.

Catelyn could feel her heart beating fast.

His seemingly glowing eyes were glued onto her.

'Should he not believe me for such an absurd explanation?'

She then shoved him, trying to run away quickly, but he refused to let go of her.

The zipper of her purse was pulled open in their struggle.

"What do you have in your purse?" asked Cedrick, sweeping his eyes into a corner of the medical record that was exposed. He ordered, "Show me that.

IV

Catelyn's heartbeat accelerated, tightening her purse in her hand. "Nothing nice."

"Take it out," he repeated in an accentuated tone.

He had a premonition that Catelyn, along with Joanne, was lying to him.

'Isn't she avoiding me because of the pain of losing our child? What's she hiding now, then?'

Of course, Catelyn would not hand over the medical record. She and Joanne exchanged glances when Cedrick asked for it again.

Joanne immediately came over to block Cedrick's vision, and Catelyn took the opportunity to run away, but she failed. Joanne's strength could not stop Cedrick at all. He shook off Joanne and went straight around Catelyn's purse to get that medical record.

"Give me back my belongings!" Catelyn shouted, but it was too late.

Cedrick took out the medical record.
