Chapter 851
’I’m sorry, Stella. I should’ve visited you earlier.” Cedrick's expression softened, and he admitted that his attitude turned
better.
Stella, however, got goosebumps as she stammered, ’T-Thank you, Master Cedrick. May I have a few words with Cat?”
Cedrick got the hint and glanced at Catelyn, who just happened to wink at him. He then nodded lightly and headed out,
giving Stella some time to recover from the shock.
"I'll be waiting for you outside. If you need help, just call me."
"Alright."
With that, only Catelyn and Stella were left in the quiet ward.

of her neck. After Cedrick left, Stella's breathing became stable. She grabbed Catelyn's hand and said solemnly,
"Cat, you must leave Master Cedrick. He's a dangerous man!"
"Mom, don't think like that. Ceddy treats me very well..."
Stella struggled to find words to further assert herself. After all, the relationship between her daughter and Master
Cedrick had always been strong as they were deeply in love. Even Quinn wanted to ruin that up, but she ended in a
dismal end.
Nonetheless, Stella felt if she did not make it clear to Catelyn, she would not see reason in her words.
"Did you see the driver who rammed you that night?" asked Catelyn, getting straight to the point and wanting to
find out if there was a misunderstanding.
Stella's face turned pale, and her heart raced at the memory.
She gritted her teeth as the image of how she was hit by a car flashed past her mind, and it was so agonizing that it
felt as though her organs were torn apart.
"Of course," Stella nodded heavily. "I know you won't believe it, but I swear I saw it right. The person who hit me
was your husband; he was sitting in the driver's seat at the time. His eyes were abnormally fierce...!ike he was a
beast! I think he deliberately accelerated when he saw me rushing out..."
The pain of being run over to the ground by a car was still vivid in Stella's mind. Her shoulders trembled, and tears
started to drop from her eyes.
Catelyn wanted to ask more questions, but when she saw how terrified Stella was, she just could not do it anymore.
She hurriedly hugged her and comforted her gently while her mind was about to explode.
'Is it really you, Cedrick? But why do you have no impression of it at all?'

"Stella, are you a hundred percent sure that the person in the driver’s seat is me?" At this moment, Cedrick, who was
supposed to be at the door, pushed open the door and entered.
His eyes were calm and soft, but Stella's mind was haunted by the fierce, bloodthirsty, and cruel look in Cedrick's eyes in
the driver's seat that night. She shrank into Catelyn's arms and stuttered, "I—I don't know. I don't know anything! I won't
call the police. Please don't kill me... Don't kill me!"
In just mere seconds, she slipped into a state of fragility and restlessness once more. Once Cedrick appeared, she
became incoherent.
Catelyn hugged her even tighter and gestured for Cedrick to stop talking.
Cedrick spoke nothing after that and waited silently for Stella's mood to become stable again.
He came here mainly to make a final confirmation with Stella. After all, she was the victim who had seen the perpetrator.
