Chapter 1057
Cedrick ordered Charles to retrieve all the surveillance footage around the island a few hours before and after the
incident.
Judging from the culprit's frantic escape from the scene, the crime was not premeditated.
Since Janice was pushed downstairs on impulse, the culprit probably did not have anytime to hide the evidence...
Nobody could have imagined such a horrifying incident to take place in the morning after the wedding. The island was
completely sealed off, and non- suspicious people would be evacuated in batches in an orderly manner.
The operation seemed a little too much, but no one dared blame Cedrick.
Old Madam Atherton brought Catelyn into the car, intending to bring her back to the manor.
However, Catelyn refused. She and Cedrick had already finished their wedding, so it was only natural for her to move into
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Mason Estate.
Anyhow, Cedrick needed her by his side.
She was disappointed that Cedrick did not call her the entire afternoon. Even when she took the initiative to call
him, he did not answer the phone.
She only managed to hear some news about Janice's condition from Eason.
Due to the limited medical equipment on the island, Janice was eventually transferred to a private hospital in
Sapphire City via helicopter.
Catelyn could not know about Janice's condition immediately, and it would otherwise affect her heart rate. For the
sake of the child in her belly, she had to eat and rest normally.
In the evening, Catelyn thought that Janice's operation should be done already and Cedrick would call her anytime
soon. However, there was still no news.
Even Eason did not answer the phone when she tried calling him.
Knock! Knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Catelyn was overjoyed, thinking that Cedrick had returned, and hurriedly got up to open the door.
It was Grandpa Albert standing outside the door.
"Miss Catelyn, I noticed that you haven't had your dinner, so I brought you some supper," he said, holding a bowl of
stew.
The joy in her heart froze. "Thanks," she muttered.
Seeing that Catelyn was waiting for Cedrick, Grandpa Albert said, "Master Cedrick is very concerned about Miss
Coleman, and he might be staying in the hospital tonight. You should rest early."
"I know. It's just that he hasn't answered my calls, which is strange," replied Catelyn. She nodded politely at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandpa Albert and took the bowl of stew from him.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Eason's phone had been buzzing over and over again.
Looking at the number on the screen, he could not bear it any longer. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Master
Cedrick, it's your wife. She has called many times. Do you want to answer it?"
Since checking the surveillance cameras, Cedrick had been ignoring Catelyn's calls.
He glanced at the mobile phone that Eason handed over. "Should I answer it?"
"No matter who the culprit is, I believe your wife is innocent," Eason said meaningfully.
'I never said she was guilty. It's just..." Cedrick glanced at Janice lying in the intensive care unit through the glass
window. He hesitated to speak, closed his eyes, and said, "Get a few more people to guard my aunt."
After finishing speaking, he took the keys of the Benley from Eason and left the hospital.
Catelyn could not sleep at night. She took a blanket and nestled on the sofa to rest.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the moment where she had that long conversation with Janice the night
before. She recalled her being very happy and smiling gracefully. Then all of a sudden, everything changed, and the
memory of seeing her being pushed down the stairs popped up in Catelyn's head...
