Chapter 564
Maia did not want Richard to get in her way at a time like this.
"Didn't we already talk about it? After I poison him, you find a way to destroy the surveillance. Remember to not leave any evidence behind. We'll have countless glory and wealth in the future after this."
Richard's dark eyes swept across the white porcelain bottle. "Have you ever thought about what to do if you were caught?"
"I have no choice but to put myself at risk."
Maia bit her lip and pushed Richard's hand away.
Richard's eyes flashed with confusion, and he snatched the porcelain bottle from her hand.
"You wait here. I'll do it! "
"You?" Maia pretended to be shocked. "The bodyguards at Cedrick's ward are very strict. How are you getting in?"
"I have my way. In short, I won't put you in danger." Maia hugged Richard and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "Oh, Rich..." she sighed softly. " Thank you for loving me deeply. I will always remember you."
Richard took a deep breath and hugged Maia even tighter.
Little did Richard know, Maia was sneering.
Like hell she would be so stupid that she would do it herself. All she needed was just a little acting, and Richard was bound to be soft-hearted enough to do it for her!
The VIP ward was on the top floor.
Catelyn held a glass of warm water and sat at Cedrick's bedside, she raised the bed and put a soft pillow under his waist so he could lean on it more comfortably.
His lips were already peeling due to mild dehydration.
However, the light in his eyes was extremely dazzling as if there was no sign of morbid weakness. He looked like a beast that sensed danger and was ready to fight. Coincidentally, Catelyn also had an intuition that something was about to happen, still, she was not surprised.
She was kidnapped while Cedrick was tricked into the trap the mastermind behind the scene had set, and they even wanted to kill them. She knew Cedrick would not just remain silent after what they had been through.
She put the straw in the glass and carefully brought the straw to his lips. "The temperature is just perfect, but don't drink too much at once."
She was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to go to the bathroom.
Cedrick had just woken up. His hands and feet were still weak, and his neck was a little stiff.
He stared at her as if he wanted to see her into the depths of her soul.
"Why don't you drink?" Flustered by how intense he was staring at her, Catelyn looked away and stared at his chest.
