NovelEnglishChapter 850: So when Daniela agreed with a simple "okay," Cedric was taken aback for a good while.
After changing, Daniela saw Cedric still rooted to the spot and asked, "Aren't you coming?" Cedric snapped out of his daydream and quickly began to prepare himself.
In the car, Lillian kept sneaking glances at Cedric.
She texted Daniela, "Why is Cedric here?" Daniela texted back, "Is there an issue?" Lillian continued, "Didn't you say Cedric wasn't supposed to know about these things?

She had once considered divorce, but she found herself unwilling to leave him.
Thus, she chose a new approach.

The old iron fence gave off a sinister air.

As they crossed the courtyard and entered the building, cries of despair echoed down the vacant halls the moment they crossed the doorway. A bearded man greeted them with a smile. "You've come!" "Where is he?" Daniela asked.
The man gestured towards the farthest ward. "He was desperate, found a glass shard and nearly bled out after slicing an artery. He kept calling for you, so I figured I'd better inform you." Daniela nodded. The man then turned to Cedric, offering a nod of recognition as if recalling an old acquaintance.
Daniela swung open the door to the ward. Inside, Caiden was lying on his aider was back, his face/pale, eyes fixed on the ceiling.
