Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 321 - Bab 330

In truth, Anatasia didn't have much to ask. She only insisted on keeping Faye here to make her drink that glass of water and use the utensils she had contaminated earlier. As long as Faye ingested the drug, it would take effect in ten minutes. Anatasia only needed to keep Faye here for ten minutes before proceeding to the next step in her seemingly perfect plan.As for Cedric, she hadn't planned to invite him today in the first place, so his leaving was within Anastasia's expectations. Moreover, the timing of his departure was just right. Anastasia had already prepared four or five questions in advance and asked Faye the questions one by one. These questions were not substantial, just menial concerns about whether her dress would be ready on time and if the quality of the dress could be guaranteed. These were trivial matters—far from important.Lincoln couldn't stand it anymore and frowned. "Anastasia, you've gone through so much trouble to keep Ms. Fischer here just to ask t

Cedric got into the car and drove straight to the private hospital owned by the Shaw family. Unexpectedly, Astrid was waiting outside the surgery room.Cedric's expression darkened, and his gaze became menacing. "Cedric, you're finally here!" Seeing Cedric, Astrid stood up and rushed towards him, anxiously throwing herself into his arms. "I am so scared …"Cedric stepped aside to avoid her with a gloomy expression. "What are you doing here?"Astrid staggered and almost fell to the ground. After balancing herself, she looked up at Cedric and bit her lip. "I-I went to see Grandpa this morning. Suddenly, he had a heart attack! So I brought him here ..."Astrid was wearing a light beige dress. It was a custom design from Allyson Designs, tailored for her slender figure. The high-quality material wrapped around her graceful figure and the well-fitted large V-neck added a touch of subtle allure. The beige color added a hint of innocence to her appearance. She looked pitiful with mi

"Ding!"The surgery room door opened, and a young doctor in a scrub suit walked out. He came out to the sight of Cedric strangling a woman, causing him to pause for a moment.Cedric withdrew his arm upon sensing another presence.Astrid fell weakly to the ground. The warmth from Cedric's palm still lingered on her neck, but the burning pain made it difficult for her to breathe."Ahem!" Nathan Nealand was the chief doctor of the private hospital owned by the Shaw family and Frederic's main attending doctor.Frederic had been fine over the years, with the exception of his weak heart. Still, after years of treatment, he had improved significantly and wouldn't have a heart attack unless he was provoked. Regardless, it was normal for people to grow weaker as they aged. "What happened?" Cedric frowned, his voice cold.Nathan took off his face, revealing his handsome features. "There is no major issue.""He hasn't had an attack for a long time. Why did it happen this time?" Cedric,

Faye didn't say much to Nathan and Vanessa. She simply informed Nathan that the harmful gas Frederic inhaled contained powdery particles. Due to the high concentration used, a considerable amount of residue was left in his oral and nasal cavities. Although these substances were not highly toxic, they would inevitably lead to side effects if they remained in the body. For Frederic, who had poor health, he would be easily affected.Nathan was aware of the severity of the situation, and his expression turned grim when Faye found the powder in Frederic's nostril. Vanessa failed to do her job properly and openly offended Faye. Even if Faye had just married Cedric, Cedric couldn't possibly have selected someone incapable as his wife. Looking at Faye's demeanor and ability to identify the cause of Frederic's issue with a glance, Nathan instinctively knew she was competent. Nobody could simply offend her."Dr. Nealand, I—" Vanessa felt wronged and wanted to explain herself, but Nat

Cedric carried Faye to Nathan. When Cedric carried her into the emergency room hurriedly, shouting for Nathan. Nathan thought something horrible had happened. Cedric said Faye’s leg was injured and asked Nathan to check on her and prescribe some medicine. Nathan crouched down before Faye and stared at her perfectly unharmed leg thoughtfully. Did he fail as a doctor for failing to spot the injury? Or did Cedric love his wife so much that her reddened foot due to walking too much was considered an injury?"Ahem!" Sensing his awkwardness, Faye felt uncomfortable as well. "Dr. Nealand, it’s been a while since I’ve worked out, and I exhausted the muscle on my leg just now. "The tip of my foot hurts a little, and my calf is numb. Just give me some medication to help with blood circulation."Though her medicine would work just as well as Nathan’s prescription, Cedric cared about her, and she decided to give him a chance to prove himself. After all, if she could do everything herse
