Chapter 546 Abs

Her originally fair and delicate skin had been severely thafed by the heavy metal handcuffs

Thankfully, Cedrick administered a sedative in time. Otherwise, Gwendolyn’s hands would’ve beenseriously damaged, even to the extent of losing a layer of flesh down to the bone

Joshua stood beside the door, taking in the affectionate interaction between the couple, and sighedwholeheartedly. Life is indeed full of ups and downs Things became better for once and just prended toge downhill from there. In my recollection, Cedrick’s and Gwendolyn’s lives had never been peacefulFate has been kind to them

While Joshua was lost in his thoughts, Cedrick asked. “Can you think of another way? A method thatdoesn’t require sedation and can help Gwenny recover quickly while rapidly consuming her energy

Joshua sighed. “Cedrick, it would be great if such a perfect solution is available.”

The light in Cedrick’s eyes gradually dimmed.

Sensing his low spirits, Joshua suggested, “For now, the best method would be to bind Gwendolyn andlock her in the basement to endure the night.”

Cedrick didn’t even look at him. That’s not helpful at all.

Joshua continued contemplating before proposing another idea. “Or we can modify the basement alittle and add some stress-relieving items that can allow her to vent without harming her body. At night,we can lock Gwendolyn in the basement. When her energy depletes and she falls silent, you can thencarry her out and bring her to the laboratory for an IV drip. Cedrick, take your time to consider. I thinkthis is the best solution so far. It won’t hurt you and can also protect Gwendolyn.”

Cedrick mulled over Joshua’s suggestion, thinking they could really give that method a try. “WhenGwenny wakes up tomorrow, I’ll discuss this matter with her.”

Two hours later, Cedrick, carrying a sleeping Gwendolyn, walked alone through the winding corridors inthe Jenson residence.

As he walked, he pondered Joshua’s proposition.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a method worth trying.

He quickly carried Gwendolyn back to the room to rest. He spent the afternoon at home catching up onsleep, and now that he wasn’t sleepy anymore, he decided to try modifying the basement.

With that thought, he immediately plunged into the task of remodeling the basement

Since Gwendolyn had fallen ill, she felt there were no mornings in her day.

Every time she woke up, it was already either noon or afternoon.

Fortunately, the recent fluid administration had significantly reduced her fatigue.

When she woke up, Cedrick happened to have just figured out that she should be waking up, so hecame in with a bowl of oatmeal.

Gwendolyn leaned against the head of the bed, looking at him with a vacant expression.

A similar thing was happening, featuring the same scene and the familiar oatmeal.

“Darling, it’s time to eat. It’s oatmeal for lunch today.” Cedrick smiled at her while regarding her with histenderness-filled dark eyes.

Gwendolyn didn’t respond.

She watched as he blew on the oatmeal to cool it down, then brought it to her lips. Inexplicably, she feltnauseous

“Can we not have oatmeal anymore? I get annoyed just looking at it these days.”

Cedrick coaxed her patiently, “This is the last oatmeal you’ll be having. Tomorrow, I’ll refer to a differentcookbook to prepare steamed eggs and meat stew for you. What do you say?”

Gwendolyn licked her lips, craving the food he mentioned.

Cedrick flashed a mysterious smile and continued, “Be good, Gwenny. At least eat half a bowl of thisoatmeal. After you’re done, I’ll take you to see a surprise. I believe you’ll love it.”

Gwendolyn nodded solemnly as she uttered, “Before that, there’s something else we need to do.”

“What’s that?”

Gwendolyn whispered beside his ear, “Strip you bare and check your body for wounds.”

“I was very good last night, so I didn’t get injured.”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “Your words don’t count. I have to see it with my own eyes to be at ease.”

Fine. Cedrick had nothing to hide since he genuinely wasn’t injured. “In that case, hurry up and finishthis oatmeal. Once you’re done, I’ll strip for you to see.

Gwendolyn could inspect Cedrick’s body if she finished the oatmeal. Hence, despite her lack ofappetite, she chowed down the food decisively.

Both her wrists and ankles were bandaged. Since eating by herself required her to exert force andwould cause her pain, Cedrick didn’t let her touch the spoon at all. He was determined to feed her.

Gwendolyn was fixated on checking his wound, so she didn’t stop him and obediently ate every bite hefed her.

After she finished eating, Cedrick stood by the bed and started taking off his clothes one by onecompliantly until he became stark naked.

Gwendolyn lifted the blanket, stepping on the carpet barefooted, and slowly approached him,examining every inch of her skin in proximity.

Cedrick allowed her to look without flinching. “I didn’t lie, right? I really wasn’t hurt.”

Gwendolyn walked around behind him to check his well-defined back.

Those severe abrasions had already begun to form scabs, so she figured they probably weren’t thatpainful anymore.

“Gwenny?”

Seeing that she hadn’t turned to the front for a while, Cedrick was puzzled. Suddenly, she kissed hisback with her soft lips, patiently and affectionately

He instinctively closed his eyes, feeling her tenderness

With her tiny lips, she kissed every inch of his back. As it was quite a large area, the process took a fullten minutes

Nevertheless, Cedrick liked it very much and even felt that those ten minutes had passed too quickly

After finishing kissing his back, Gwendolyn held his warm and broad palms from behind, their fingersintertwined. Then, she tiptoed and carefully rested her chin on his shoulder, asking gently, “Does it stillhurt?”

Cedrick shook his head and answered honestly, “The anti-inflammatory medication Joshua prescribedwas very effective. The wounds don’t hurt anymore.”

A wave of guilt washed over Gwendolyn. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think my getting sick would cause you to beso badly injured.”

Cedrick smiled indifferently, held her hand, and placed her palm on his chest, directly above his heart.“Physical pain is nothing. Fortunately, you didn’t hurt my heart, Darling.”

If they were to divorce because of that, he would genuinely be in unbearable pain.

Gwendolyn said. “But I don’t want to hurt you at all, neither physically nor emotionally. I just want tolove you properly and live a happy and peaceful life with you and our children.”

“We will.”

Hearing his prompt reply, Gwendolyn added with all seriousness, “I need to make it clear to you thatfrom now on, whenever I get sick, you cannot let me vent on your body. Never.”

Cedrick turned around and grabbed her shoulders. “The surprise I want to show you later hassomething. to do with this. I’ll bring you there in a while, Darling. Let’s try it out tonight to see if thismethod works.”

Gwendolyn’s interest was piqued after hearing that.

“Let’s go to see your so-called surprise, then.”

She turned to leave but was pulled back by Cedrick, causing her to fall into his bruise-covered chest.

An anticipatory look filled his dark gaze as he sneered. “Before we go, I want another kiss from you.Gwenny. My abs would also like to be spoiled by your kisses. With your kiss, those wounds really don’thurt anymore.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes gleamed with more hints of mischief than his. “In that case, Ceddy, I should let youenjoy the intimate service provided by your wife.”

With that, she lifted her head and kissed his lips, gradually shifting her lips down to kiss his chin,Adam’s apple, collarbone, and chest.

Finally, her pink lips reached his manhood.

Subsequently, an amorous vibe filled the atmosphere inside the room.

After the joyful and harmonious time passed, Cedrick led Gwendolyn downstairs.

The door to the basement was opened. After a night of remodeling, the place had been completelytransformed.

She stared at the interior in shock. The carpet was made of a unique material that was soft to fall on.Even the entire room’s walls were covered with a similar kind of protective green paper.

The place was no longer cluttered with miscellaneous items.

In the middle of the room, two sturdy leather sandbags were suspended from the ceiling, along with anabundance of tools for unleashing her fury that would not harm her.

The basement door had been reinforced with heavy metal, so it wouldn’t be easy to kick open.However, in order to prevent Gwendolyn from getting hurt during her fits of rage, Cedrick also coveredit with a layer of special padding.

A bed was placed in the corner of the room, and the quilt, pillows, and mattress were all of the softestmaterials.

All she could feel at that moment were Cedrick’s love and thoughtfulness.

He held her hand tightly with their fingers intertwined. “Gwenny, sleep here tonight. I’ll be waiting at thedoor the whole time. If you’re fortunate not to have an episode, I’ll carry you back to our room to sleep.If you do have one, I’ll wait for you to finish working off your rage before coming in and taking you to thelaboratory for an IV drip. What do you say?”

That way, Cedrick wouldn’t get hurt, and Gwendolyn wouldn’t have to torture herself by putting onhandcuffs. That was the most promising method to try for the time being.

“I like this arrangement. Thank you, Hubby.” She tiptoed and planted a smooch on his face.

It seemed like she could never get tired of kissing him.

Cedrick lifted her hand, staring at the bandage on her wrist with an aching heart.

He carefully kissed her bandage. “The sufferings will pass. No matter what, I’ll always stay by yourside.”

Gwendolyn smirked and agreed with him solemnly. “Our sufferings will pass soon, but someone’storment is about to begin.”

Her eyes gleamed with passion for seeking vengeance as she spoke.

After exiting the basement, she drove to Harris Group as usual.

Two days ago, she had sent many of her confidants to interfere with Annie’s collaboration, so she -reckoned it was about time she checked on the outcome.

What goes around comes around. It’s time for someone to feel the agony of an impending doom nowe

As soon as she sat down at her office desk, someone knocked on her door. Zion Yackley, who hadsuccessfully seized the project collaboration from Annie, entered with a document in his hand.

“Ms. Harris, this is the original partnership between Antea Group and TOA. I’ve been persuading TOA’s
