Chapter 852
Stella took about three minutes for her mood to gradually settle.
She breathed heavily, and Catelyn fed her half a glass of juice. The moment the sweet taste greeted her taste buds, she
felt freshened as her panic dissipated.
Still, she did not dare to look at Cedrick.
"Stella, if I wanted you to die, there are a thousand ways to do so. Why would I drive my car to hit you?’ reasoned
Cedrick, intending to extract information the best he could. "Think about it again: Did anything special happen that
night? Or.Js there something different about the perpetrator?"
Catelyn also tried to make Stella jog her memory, adding, "I also believe that Ceddy is not the criminal who tried to kill
you. Could you recall everything?"
Stella took another sip of the juice, covered her forehead, and immersed herself in thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat night, to escape from Quinn, she ran downstairs without calling the police because she did not want her daughter to
be caught.
As soon as she got to the side of the road, a car rushed toward her and slammed into her.
Before she fell to the ground, she was the closest to the person in the driver's seat. She saw the driver's face and
something that was hanging on the driver's neck.
It was...
"A skull!" Stella exclaimed. "I remember that he has a skull necklace hanging around his neck! That's right, it's a
black skull..."
"I don’t think I've ever seen you wearing something like this." Catelyn looked sharply at Cedrick, doubting.
Cedrick repeatedly recalled the surveillance footage he saw at the police station. Since the angle was obliquely
downward, the camera could not capture what decorations the man in the driver's seat was wearing.
Additionally, the car window further lowered the clarity furthermore.
"I don’t wear jewelry; too girly for my taste." Cedrick tightened his eyebrows and asked, "You said he had fierce
eyes, and when he saw you rushing out, he deliberately accelerated? Does it mean that he is rational, awake at that
time, knowing what he was doing exactly?"
"I...didn’t pay attention to it. I just felt like you were a completely different person at the time," Stella murmured,
still very frightened when she recalled it.
She felt like she had just returned to life from hell.
Cedrick fell into deep thought when he heard her utterance.
He had planned to go to Catelyn's company to help her out, but a serious headache hit him as if countless needles
were piercing his head. Blood oozed out of his eyes as he felt like he was losing control of his mind.
He called the head of the Mason family's privately funded medical laboratory and went to the basement.
To prevent outsiders from knowing the secret of the Mason family's genetic disease, the basement was at a
desolate place, bordered the suburbs, and there was no surveillance camera along the way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter getting a dose of a stabilizing drug and staying in the medical laboratory for half a day, the pain was relieved a little
in the evening of that day. He wanted to drive home, but he had a minor car accident on the way, so he had to rest in a
small hotel nearby.
It was not long until he heard that Stella had been hit by him, which prompted him to look into the case in detail.
However, it was late in the night and he was in the suburbs, so there was nothing much he could find. He then thought
that he was the one who hit Stella with his car as he lost his memory due to the effect of drugs.
Looking back at this, however, it seemed to him that there was some key information missing from the accident.
Seeing Cedrick's thoughtful appearance, Catelyn could not help but ask curiously, "Ceddy, did you recall something?"
"I'm not completely sure yet. I'll tell you when I confirm it."
"No matter what you find, don't hide it from me, okay?" Catelyn looked at Cedrick expectantly. "I want to share weal and
woe with you, just like how we swore when we got married. Even if it's you, don't lie to me."
Cedrick nodded solemnly and replied, his voice deep and husky, "I promise. ■
He then went to the corridor to make a phone call while Catelyn remained in the ward and continued to comfort Stella,
who was still worried about Quinn.
