Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 672

Chapter 672 Unusual

“No. This person is absolutely cunning. I set up a trap to lure him to appear, but little did I know he created a false identity and sent a substitute to meet me. In the end, his fake guy took his place in death.”

For a moment, both men were silent.

Apart from the sounds made by the humidifier and a soft, occasional hum by Benedict, the room was exceptionally quiet.

“So you secretly issued an arrest warrant to catch this crafty fellow.”

Charles could imagine how tense the situation was.

Cedrick sneered. His piercing gaze and overpowering aura could easily send shivers down anyone's spine.

“Although he was not caught, I have a rough idea of his appearance. Once the arrest warrant is issued, his various actions will be restricted, and we'll get him sooner or later.”

Charles nodded.

When he lifted his head, he was greeted by Cedrick's bloodshot eyes. This case must have turned his world upside down.

Arching his brow, Charles uttered a rare word of concern, “Go and get some rest. I've got everything here.”

Cedrick's lip curled upward. He clicked his tongue and left without saying a word.

Meanwhile, in the minimalist hospital lounge, a slim figure was sitting on the bed with her back facing the door. Her beautiful back was smooth and attractive. She had porcelain skin as white as snow.

The dim lighting cast a hazy glow on the voluptuous figure.

The moment Cedrick opened the door, he was greeted by such an enchanting scene.

Instantly, his mouth became dry. His Adam's apple bobbed as he walked lightly across the room.

When he got closer, he saw some light red scars on her back that got him frozen there and then.

Jasper had only informed him that Gwendolyn had offered to be locked up in the basement in order not to let the enemies sense something amiss. Apart from that, no other details had been shared.

Now that he had seen her injuries, his heart throbbed with pain.

Gwendolyn stretched out her hand holding the cotton swab to apply some medicine to her wounds. However, the angle made it very inconvenient for her to do it herself. She could not control how much force to apply either.

Suddenly, she furrowed her brows and gasped in pain.

“Let me do it.”

A pair of big hands took away what she was holding in hers. He put some ointment on his fingertips and gently applied the medicine to the wounds on her back. She could barely feel any pain.

Gwendolyn turned around and saw his slightly reddened eyes. She muttered, “It doesn't hurt much, and I'm not as delicate as you think. It's you guys who assumed that I'm vulnerable and weak.”

She caressed Cedrick's forehead, smoothing his frown lines.

Cedrick did not respond, and neither did he refute her statement.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and cleared his throat. “Done.” He kissed Gwendolyn's forehead and added in a soft voice, “I'm heading to the small bathroom next door to take a shower.”

Gwendolyn nodded.

The sound of running water soon came from the bathroom.

Gwendolyn lay on the bed and eventually fell asleep.

Late at night, she felt a bit chilly.

She squirmed to the side and habitually hugged her husband. But to her surprise, she grabbed nothing but frosty cold air.
