Chapter 1002
They were in a hospital after all, so it could not be easier for Cedrick to find an operating room for the abortion.
'That medical record is mine!" blurted Joanne, quickly whipping up a reason as she pointed at the medical record in his
hand. "Master Cedrick, you know that Grandma wants me to give birth to a child for the Atherton family. That...Wild
Beast and I have been trying, but I just can’t get pregnant. I’m afraid that I may be unwell somewhere, so I’m here for a
check-up."
Cedrick stared at her, and the tension in the air seemed to dissipate. 'Why did you write Catelyn's name in your
registration, then?"
"I'm afraid that Grandma will find out that I'm not pregnant when she discovers the medical records. If I'm pregnant,
there's no need to go through these checks!" replied Joanne confidently, afraid that he would not believe her. "A
gynecological examination is very troublesome. Since Cat's child has.Jeft, she can go through that examination as a non-
pregnant woman for me.”

Catelyn felt her heart sink too.
Joanne felt it was unfair for Catelyn to be the only one upset because of the abortion. She thus wanted Cedrick to taste
the same pain too.
Taking the advantage that Cedrick was distracted, Catelyn pushed him away and ran. It was not until she got out of the
hospital and got into the private car that she gasped in shock.
'Cat, are you okay? You're sweating buckets!" Joanne handed her a clean tissue paper.
Catelyn shook her head, grabbed Joanne's hand, and asked nervously, "He probably hasn't found out yet, right?"
"Surely he didn't. Otherwise, how did we get out of there?" Joanne hurriedly comforted her and poured her another
glass of warm water to calm her. Catelyn's heart raced non-stop. She knew that if he continued to interrogate her,
he would find out the truth.
Hence, she could not come out for a check-up in the future. She needed to prepare all the equipment for a
pregnancy check-up in Atherton Manor.
Joanne, on the other hand, was curious about what Cedrick was up to in the hospital.
The car headed back to Atherton Manor.
Catelyn's phone suddenly rang, and the number that showed on the screen was new. Only when she accepted the
call did she find out that it was Ezekiel.
’My previous phone number has a series of unlucky numbers, so I changed to a new one," Ezekiel explained.
Catelyn then saved the new number into her contact list.
"What's the matter?" she asked, her tone monotonous.
"I want to talk to you about something. Are you free now? Can you come to the gallery at 73 Lincoln Road? I'll wait
for you there."
Ezekiel seemed to want a peaceful talk with Catelyn as he sounded sincere on the phone.
Catelyn glanced at her lower abdomen. "If you have anything to say, just say it now."
'There are things I can't say through the phone, and I have something to give you," he said.
Catelyn rubbed her forehead. "What is it?"

Before Catelyn could say anything, Joanne silently mouthed to her that they had just escaped from Cedrick, and it would
be better to not cause any trouble for the time being.
Ezekiel, too, wanted Catelyn to miscarry, and he was under the impression that the child was no longer alive.
"If you don't tell me anything, I don't want the stuff. I'll get it later when I have the time."
Catelyn was about to hang up the phone when Ezekiel quickly said, "It's something related to your mother. Are you sure
about that?"
Catelyn went to the gallery on 73 Lincoln Road. Joanne made her way to the toilet due to a stomachache, but she
reminded her to not spend too much time with Ezekiel for fear that he might harm her.
Catelyn called Ezekiel, but the line was busy, so she had no choice but to wander around.
This was a gallery that had been open for many years, housed various rare paintings, and also had a special zone
specifically reserved for paintings by new painters to promote the creation of art among youths.
Catelyn was surprised to find several paintings in the gallery, all of which had been in the Clark Villa before.
She still remembered that those paintings were auctioned off after Ezekiel went bankrupt...
