Was it her illusion? How could Cedric have such a lonely and fragile expression?
He was so noble and rich. How could he...
Was it because of his dead wife?
She secretly searched some news and knew that Cedric had a beloved wife very. But his wife died because of an accident. She looked like his dead wife, so she guessed that this was the reason why Cedric would lose control when he saw her.
"Being loved by Cedric, his wife must be... very happy." Joanna thought.
When Joanna and Lester were sitting in the car, she had been secretly observing Cedric's expression.
Cedric was looking out of the window all the time. The shadows of the trees fell on his face, which made him look so gentle.
He didn't look indifferent at all. Instead, he was as fragile as a child.
"Trista, what are you looking at?" When Lester noticed that Joanna's eyes had been fixed on Cedric, he was flustered. He held Joanna's hand tightly and asked nervously.
Joanna came to sense. After realizing that she had been looking at Cedric, she was a little regretful and even sad. She felt that she shouldn't have looked at Cedric in a trance and felt so sorry for Lester.
Seeing Joanna's guilty face, Lester gently pinched Joanna's palm and said, "I'm sorry, Trista."
Joanna raised her head and shook her head at Lester. Then she leaned against Lester's arms like a cute little girl.
Joanna looked so happy in this way.
Cedric felt a sharp pain in his heart. He pinched his palm with great strength and took a deep breath.
Ashley told him that if he loved someone, he should wish her happiness. Joanna was happy to be with Lester. She liked the feeling of being with Lester, so he should not disturb their happiness.
"However, mom, I'm so sad in my heart. I know that I did something wrong. What should I do to feel better?" Cedric said in his heart.
"Mommy...mommy..." When Kerr opened his eyes, he saw Joanna sitting by his bed.
He was so excited that he reached out and hugged Joanna tightly.
Joanna looked at Kerr and gently touched his forehead.
"Mommy, are you back? You won't leave me and daddy anymore, right?" Kerr's words made Joanna feel a little embarrassed. She didn't even know how to answer him.
"Good boy, mommy's throat is injured and she can't speak for the time being. You have to be obedient, otherwise, she will leave." Looking at how happy Kerr was, Cedric leaned against the wall and said to him tenderly. Kerr held Joanna obediently, looked at her and said cautiously, "Mom, because you're here with me, I don't feel any pain at all."
His childish words made Joanna want to cry for no reason.
In fact, at this time, tears flowed out of her eyes unconsciously.
Seeing Joanna suddenly crying, Cedric straightened up in a panic. For the first time, he was in a panic and even at a loss.
"Why are you crying?" Cedric looked at Joanna and asked. He wanted to hug her, but he dared not.
Joanna did not speak. She just lowered her head and cried.
She also didn't know why she was crying. But when she saw Kerr, she felt sad in her heart for no reason.
"I'm not painful. Mom, don't cry." Seeing Joanna crying, Kerr reached out his chubby hand to wipe her tears.
Feeling Kerr's soft hand, Joanna cried even more sadly.
She hugged Kerr in her arms tightly and buried her head in his shoulder.
Cedric looked at Joanna tenderly. He raised his hand and wanted to touch Joanna, but he did not dare do that.
He really wanted to hug Joanna, but he was afraid to see her hateful eyes.
Joanna was very happy at the moment.
Cedric turned around dejectedly and left the ward. He leaned against the wall in the corridor and smoked slowly.
He retreated behind a veil of cigarette smoke.
His face couldn't be seen clearly.
Nacho looked at Cedric's lonely figure and felt sad for him.
He walked to Cedric and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "What's wrong? Are you upset?"
"I want to let Joanna stay and lock her up in the villa by a tough method. I want to tell everyone that she is my wife." Cedric pinched the cigarette and said to Nacho with horrible eyes.
Nacho held his chin and said with calm eyes.
"And then?"
Cedric's fingers froze. He leaned his head against the wall dully. He looked hesitant and desperate.
