Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780

Hit-and-run, justice, and morality...

That sentence provoked an outburst of anger from Cedrick instantly. His tone became aggressive, and he almost yelled at her, "You think I am the murderer before the police have concluded the case, don't you? Even if I may be the murderer, I didn’t mean it. Do you want to divorce me just because of that?! Have you ever believed me?" It was ridiculous that he used to think they would be able to live happily ever after.

Catelyn was so distressed that it felt like someone had stuck a needle in her heart. Her doubt about him was the result of the accumulation of countless coincidences and evidence, yet, she was still willing to believe him that it was an accident even if he was the driver.

However, she could not explain to him, so making him misunderstand was the best solution of all. She choked up and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes! She's too old to suffer. I would rather be the one who's lying on the bed. You can blame me, hate me, or do whatever you want. I really can't be happy by your side without not caring about her..."

Cedrick thought she was talking about Stella, but in fact, she was referring to Ezekiel. The father who used to treat her like a little princess and gave her a carefree life.

All she could do now was to obey Grandpa Mason's orders first. She should leave Cedrick and the children to keep her dad safe.

"Then what if your mother could wake up? Can you pretend that this never happened?" Cedrick asked in a deep voice when he saw the tears in her eyes. He could not deny that he became soft­hearted at that very moment.

Watching him give in to her, Catelyn blamed herself even more. " Let's talk about it when she wakes up. I'm sure you will take good care of your two children in the future. I can live well here in peace. " After that, Catelyn was afraid that she would lose control, so she ran away. Cedrick stared at her back which slowly disappeared.

She left once again like she always did, yet he stood there and waited as he used to.

Cedrick clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with fury. He wanted Stella to wake up in the shortest possible time and wanted to find out what happened during the car accident.

'Could it be that the medicines I took had side effects and would cause short-term memory loss?'

The secret of the Mason family was that there were very few men in the lineage of Draco who could live to adulthood, because the elders had been poisoned in history, which caused the genetic defects in the body to be amplified and inherited by the descendants, resulting in the need to take medicine all the year round. Cedrick was one of them.
