Chapter 560

Catelyn paused, blushed, and said, "They don't even know you're awake yet. I'll inform them now-"

Cedrick stabilized his breathing and said, "Don't tell them yet."

"Why?"

Catelyn was puzzled by this. Although she did not like Grandpa Mason's domineering attitude, she knew he, too, was worried about Cedrick and should be informed that his grandson had woken up.

Cedrick smirked.

After having dinner together, Maia sent Grandpa Mason back to Mason Estate.

She then immediately put on an inconspicuous black outfit and a peaked cap before she sneakily headed to Richard's apartment in Franche, the man in question already awaiting Maia's arrival. Seeing her coming, he immediately asked anxiously, " How is it? Is he dead?"

"Why do you want him to die?!" Maia suppressed her anger and roared at him, "I told you to just kidnap Catelyn. why did you hurt Ceddy?!"

Richard's eyes showed a trace of hostility. At first, he only planned to kidnap Catelyn as Maia asked him to do, but he received a mysterious phone call in the middle of the kidnapping.

The person on the phone said he could help him kill Cedrick, so Maia would, at last, be his.

"I don't know what happened in the end. What's the situation now?"

Maia had no other helpers for the time being, so she could only trust Richard. At the same time, however, she was a little worried.

"Ceddy hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said that he's in good condition, and it's only a matter of time before he wakes up. I've already told that old man, Draco, that the child in my stomach belongs to Ceddy. If he wakes up... I'll be doomed!"

Richard frowned, not understanding why Maia had been trying so hard to be Cedrick's wife.

"Ah, isn't the Kingsley family powerful in Franche? I heard that there's a drug on the black market that can damage the hippocampus of one's brain and cause memory loss. Richard, get me one!"

Richard was initially worried that the mysterious man was not doing things neatly, but his annoyed look vanished when he heard Maia.

"Are you crazy? Grandpa Mason is here! You'll be risking your life by doing so!"

Maia bit her lower lip angrily as her expression soured with reluctance. "As long as Ceddy's memory is damaged, the old man will help me become Missus Mason. Then, our baby will own the whole Mason family!" Richard did not think that was a great idea.

He wanted to say something, but Maia suddenly threw his hand away.

"I see! You're not going to help me, are you? Fine, I'll replace someone else to help me! Just watch me die when the old man replaces out! What a shame that our baby didn't even have a chance to take a look at the world...

Richard glanced across her belly and frowned irritably.

Suddenly, a maniacal grin appeared on Richard's face. "Are you sure you want that medicine?"

"Yes!" Maia nodded hurriedly, thinking that he was finally listening to her request. After all, he always listened to her and did whatever she wanted him to do.

Richard's smile deepened. "Alright. If that's what you want, I'll help you."

'That sounds like a good plan to send Cedrick to hell!'

Maia then placed Richard's head on her belly and said, though with disgust in her heart, "Our child is still too little. You can't hear anything."

Richard said nothing and kissed her belly. He knew it was not a time for him to hurry.
