Gwendolyn’s heart ached.

So, that’s how he sees it all this while. He thinks that he’s going to die and feels guilty for being a
burden

to me.

Letting out a sigh, Gwendolyn reached out to comfort him.

“Ceddy, listen to me-”

For the second time, Cedrick pushed her hand away and turned his back to her. Soft sniffles soon
accompanied his trembling shoulders.

Unable to contain his emotions anymore, he came to a decisive decision. “I know that he’s your first
love and both of you have history. If you… still love him and are firm in choosing him, I will not stand in
your way!”

With that, he headed back upstairs without looking back.

The outburst left Gwendolyn shocked and furious at the same time.

Upon regaining her senses, she ran after him. “Cedrick, what the hell are you talking about? Did hit
your head somewhere?”

Cedrick quickened his pace and flew to the third floor like the wind. He then slammed the door before
locking it from the inside.

As Gwendolyn was right behind him, she managed to stop in the nick of time. Otherwise, her head
would’ve been at the receiving end of the closing door.

The sight of the tightly shut entrance caused her blood to boil.

“What’s wrong with you, Cedrick? How dare you slam the door in my face? What are you throwing a
tantrum for? What’s so difficult about hearing my explanation? Open the door right now!”

Two minutes later, there was still no indication that the door was going to open anytime

soon.

As it was already late and Gwendolyn had busied herself the entire day, exhaustion began to take its
toll on her.

Coming home to be at the receiving end of Cedrick’s temper drained the very last of her patience.

calm down.”

Without another word, Gwendolyn turned around and headed to the room next door.

Once he heard the door from the room next to his close, Cedrick slumped to the ground with his back
against the door. He then curled into a ball with his arms wrapped around his knees.

With the room lights still off, he simply sat alone in the darkness.

Fortunately, his chest pain didn’t act up, a sign that the medication he had consumed for it was working
well.

Yet, he could feel pain everywhere else in his body.

The air in the surroundings was so still that it triggered a sense of dread within him.

With his ear to the door, he listened carefully for any movement outside.

It seems quiet. Has Gwendolyn fallen asleep so quickly?

Just as he was lost in thought, the room lights were turned on with a click.

The sudden burst of illumination was so jarring that he couldn’t open his eyes at all.

He suddenly felt his wrists tied up with a belt within the few seconds he was caught off guard.

Thereafter, Gwendolyn’s beautiful face emerged right before his eyes.

“It’s you?”



Staring right into his eyes, Gwendolyn flashed a taunting smile. “You left the balcony door open, so I
snuck in from next door. Am I a genius or what?”

Exasperated at having his hands bound, Cedrick struggled desperately to free himself. “Untie me!”

“Are you still trying to calm down? If I don’t show you any attention, do you think you can actually fall
asleep? Or were you planning to sit by the door the entire night?”

Gwendolyn gently lifted his chin with her finger. Cedrick turned his head away, the jealousy he exuded
was undeniable.

“After meeting Charles late at night, why do you still care about me? Pack your things and go to him
tomorrow.”

Gwendolyn couldn’t help but frown. “Why are you being so jealous? Can you not give me a chance to
explain?”

“The first thing you did when you came back was lie to me. Why should I continue to tolerate your
bullsh*t? The only thing I trust is the result of my investigation.”

Gwendolyn was incensed by his words. “Have I been spoiling you too much lately? Why are you
kicking up a fuss over nothing? Must you make me force you to listen instead?”



The frustrated Cedrick snorted as he refused to look at her.

Unfazed by his defiance, Gwendolyn grabbed a shirt from the wardrobe and stuffed it into his mouth.

STROME

She then carried him up by his waist before hurling him onto the bed with all her strength.

Due to how soft the bed was, the impact didn’t hurt Cedrick at all.

After rolling across the bed, Cedrick glared at her while making muffled sounds.

Ignoring his protests, Gwendolyn grabbed another belt from the coat stand and tied his kicking feet up.

She lifted both his hands above his head and tied them to the bedpost.

“Stop moving! You’ll hurt yourself if you struggle, and then I’ll have to apply medication for you!”

Her actions continued to outrage Cedrick.

With his chest heaving intensely, he stared daggers at her. Never in his life had he been so angry at
Gwendolyn.

Sitting by the bed, Gwendolyn was a sea of calm as she watched him struggle fruitlessly.

She stroked his chest in an attempt to calm him down but didn’t pass up the opportunity to tease him.
“Looks can’t kill, so don’t waste time. If you refuse to listen to my explanation, I’ll have to force it upon
you my way. I hate it when there’s a misunderstanding, especially when it’s one you have about me!”

Finally, Cedrick’s breathing began to steady. Nonetheless, he continued to struggle with his

wrists.



Gwendolyn let out a sigh before putting on a serious expression. “Listen well, I’ll only say this once.
You’re absolutely not a burden to me. Since I’ve made my decision to be with you, I’ll never leave you
regardless of how hard the path ahead is. Charles is just someone I admired when I was young. Those
feelings have disappeared a long time ago. Now, all I feel for him is

hatred and the urge to rip him apart after the torment he has caused you with the virus. We’ve been
through so much together. Is my love for you not obvious enough? Why do still doubt me and assume
that I chose Charles? Am I that disloyal to you? It’s true that I got Asher to bail him out and met with
him tonight, but that’s because he has the cure to your virus. Saving your life is the only reason I’m
doing all this!”

The moment she finished, Cedrick finally stopped struggling.

As he lowered his gaze, teardrops could be seen at the tip of his long eyelashes.

Due to the fact that he was being tied up, his expression looked inexplicably pitiful, especially when
juxtaposed against the domineering Gwendolyn.

Caressing his face, Gwendolyn gave him a gentle and teary–eyed look. “Are you still angry?”

Cedrick shook his head.



Gwendolyn removed the shirt she had stuffed in his mouth and gave his sore jaws a massage. “Is there
nothing you want to ask me?”

Cedrick swallowed the lump in his throat and replied, “I’m sorry.”

His apology elicited an affectionate smile from Gwendolyn. “Don’t be a fool. I forgive you. It’s normal to
say things we don’t mean in an argument.”

It would be unreasonable for her to hold it against a sick patient.

As the rage within him eased, Cedrick felt like snuggling up to her. It was then that he remembered that
he was still tied to the bedpost.

“Untie me, Gwenny.”

Once he was free from his bonds, he wrapped his arms around her waist and climbed greedily into her
arms.

“Do you really have no more questions?” Gwendolyn repeated.

Cedrick gave it some thought, then freed himself from her embrace and locked gazes

with

her.

“I learned that you visited Charles in prison half a month ago. Was he the one who told you about my
sickness?”

Gwendolyn was stunned,



Nico had told her that Cedrick had ordered the matter to be kept a secret. Since it was a breach of
discipline to reveal it to her, terrible consequences awaited whoever did it.

With that thought in mind, she gave him a firm look. “Yes.”

Furrowing his brows, Cedrick began to analyze the situation. “Even Joshua was at his wits‘ end when it
came to the S404 RNA virus, so how did Charles know about the cure? Even if he did, he would never
give it away for nothing. Did he use this to demand something in return from you?”

Gwendolyn took a deep breath after being put in the spot.

Just as expected from my man. He’s capable of cornering me with just a few words.
