Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 461 - Bab 470

Daniella was confident that Faye would come begging for her help to cure Flora, but before she could voice more of her terms, Faye was already leaving. She even said that Daniella had no right to negotiate with her. Daniella thought to herself, "What a joke. Without me, Layla will definitely die. Since I have the antidote, why can't I negotiate my terms with her?" She had a few conditions to present Faye with and what she mentioned was hardly the most important one. How dare this wench ignore her and leave so arrogantly?Daniella scoffed as she watched Faye's receding back. "Very well—Leave. Tonight, your mother will have a seizure and be in so much pain that she'll vomit blood and die by tomorrow morning. You can choose not to believe me but consider the consequences carefully."She continued, "After tonight, I won't be able to save your mother even if you get on your knees to beg for my help."Listening to her arrogant tone, Faye stopped and turned to look at Daniella, w

Faye remained by Flora's side the whole night. She never left for even a second.Cedric and Victor wanted to come in to help, but she chased them both out. The two waited outside the door anxiously and could only hear faint noises coming from inside the room. At three in the morning, Ryder came to convince Victor to sleep yet again. "Mr. Victor, you need to sleep or you won't have the energy to speak to Ms. Reed when she wakes up tomorrow.""I'm fine," Victor said as he shook his head. He added, "Mr. Shaw, go take a rest. I'll wait here." "There's no need," Cedric said hoarsely. "You're still a patient, Mr. Victor. You should be listening to your doctor and getting enough rest. If Faye wakes up to find that you haven't rested, she won't have any energy left to treat you."Victor was rendered speechless, struck by his words. He couldn't argue with Cedric's point. Indeed, Faye had put a lot of effort into treating him. If he didn't treasure his own health, Faye might j

Faye came out of the room and saw Cedric working on his tablet. He looked up at her in concern. "You must be exhausted."She shook her head. "I'm fine.""Go rest." He took her hand and rubbed the back of her neck endearingly. She leaned against his embrace and requested, "Carry me upstairs."He smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Okay. I'll carry you."He picked her up and strode upstairs. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest, feeling extremely safe. When did she start relying on Cedric so much?It almost felt like she had nothing to fear as long as she was with him, even though she was independent and strong when she was alone. She always thought that relying on other people was too risky an endeavor because one could grow lazy. However, trusting Cedric didn't seem like a bad choice after all.She was carried upstairs and Cedric ran her a bath. Just as she was about to get into the bathtub, she noticed that Cedric wasn't leaving.

At noon, Faye was woken up by the sound of loud chattering outside.She planned to sleep through the night and covered her head with the blanket in annoyance. Still, Jesse's loud voice penetrated the door and could be heard clearly. "Chief, that woman keeps shouting and asking to meet with the ma'am. This started yesterday night. Our men ignored her and she started bashing her head against the cage. If this carries on, she will die.""Let her die. That saves us the time," Cedric said coldly. Jesse's lips twitched. "But ma'am seems quite interested in that woman. If she dies, the ma'am won't get to have fun with her."Cedric raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jesse. "I guess you're right. Give her an injection to calm her down. Let's wait until my wife wakes up."Jesse was rendered speechless.He recalled that Cedric was never one to get anywhere near women. There were a few female soldiers back when they were training and they fawned over Cedric. Still, Cedric didn't even sp

In the car, Faye looked at Cedric and asked, "Has Mr. Anderson been giving you a hard time?"Cedric raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like the kind of man that people can bully?"Her lips twitched. "So you've been giving him a hard time?""The Anderson family crossed the line, so I obviously had to teach them a lesson," he said calmly. His confidence made her feel safe and she said, "Dismiss the army. The Anderson family will probably stay quiet for a while after this."After all, Daniella had truly lost everything this time and the Anderson family would likely lay low to recover their losses. As for the relatives of the Garcia family …Faye didn't understand what gave them the confidence to go against Victor, but now, she finally realized that they were supported by the Anderson family. Cedric would take care of the Anderson family and she decided to leave the Garcia family to Victor. She hoped that he could handle it well, or he would have no right to stay by Flora's side.
