Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 549

Cedrick swiftly swung open the basement door when he heard the excruciating scream.

As the lights flickered on, he was met with a scene of chaos and destruction.

The tools intended for Gwendolyn's release lay shattered, a result of her uncontrollable frenzy.

At that moment, she resembled a wild creature, fierce and untamed.

Amidst the disarray, Cedrick's primary concern was Gwendolyn's well-being.

He carefully scanned her body, relieved to find no visible wounds or traces of blood. However, her piercing red eyes remained fixed upon him, unwavering and intense, as if she regarded him as her target.

“Gwenny?” Cedrick called out, but his words were met with silence.

It was clear that she had yet to break free from her maniac state.

In that instant, Cedrick comprehended Gwendolyn's motives. She had deliberately lured him into opening the door by emitting an unfamiliar sound.

Despite Gwendolyn's loss of consciousness, her instincts remained sharp.

Cedrick stood his ground, maintaining a safe distance, waiting for her to dismantle the sandbags and launch herself toward him.

Within two minutes, the final sandbag was reduced to tatters, leaving a trail of scattered sand in its wake.

Gwendolyn, resembling a terrifying apparition, launched herself at Cedrick with astonishing speed.

A resounding slap whizzed through the air.

Cedrick's quick reflexes enabled him to seize her wrist, deftly avoiding the blow.

The duo engaged in a fierce confrontation in the basement.

In the past, they had avoided physical confrontations in the bedroom as Cedrick was concerned that Gwendolyn might inadvertently damage something or injure herself amid the turmoil.

However, the altered basement was stripped of any sharp objects. Hence, Cedrick could carefully plan his movements to ensure Gwendolyn's safety.

“Come on, Darling. Let's battle, and we shall see who tires first.”

Cedrick had become Gwendolyn's singular target as their clash began.

Trapped with no viable escape, Cedrick refused to allow himself to be a mere punching bag for Gwendolyn's fury. He couldn't risk sustaining injuries that would anger her further.

Hence, Cedrick was left with no choice but to engage in a physical confrontation. He had to find a way to engage in the fight while minimizing harm.

Gwendolyn, fueled by her frenzy, unleashed a barrage of forceful strikes honed by her background in martial arts. Her attacks were precise, targeting vulnerable areas with relentless intensity.

Cedrick found himself in a precarious position, having to withstand her onslaught while avoiding causing her harm. With unwavering focus, he skillfully evaded her powerful strikes.

The intense confrontation dragged on for over half an hour, and the discrepancy in physical stamina between a man and a woman became evident. Gwendolyn's strikes became less aggressive, and her movements more erratic and sluggish.

Cedrick seized the opportunity to launch a controlled counterattack without causing lasting harm.

Ten minutes later, the malicious intent that had fueled Gwendolyn's earlier attacks began to wane, replaced by weariness and a flicker of surrender.

Eventually, she succumbed to exhaustion and collapsed in Cedrick's arms.

After their fierce altercation, the duo was drenched in sweat.

Cedrick carried Gwendolyn to the bedroom and helped her clean up with a shower before they headed to the laboratory.

The unexpected events had caused them to arrive at the lab at three in the morning.

Joshua had been working late shifts for a few days, disrupting his sleep schedule. He felt exceptionally tired tonight. Despite his exhaustion, he managed to administer the necessary IV treatment flawlessly.

Once Gwendolyn had finished the infusion, Cedrick took her back to Harrick Villa.

By then, it was six in the morning, and the sky had slowly brightened.

Cedrick, who hadn't slept a wink, fought against the weariness and carried Gwendolyn to their bedroom for much-needed rest.
