Chapter 570 "Dr. Clarke, don't try to hide this from me." Briony fixed her sharp gaze on him, her voice steady and certain. "I know you're not tellingeverything." Cedric Clarke froze, caught off guard.

It was a long moment before he finally let out a heavy sigh. "You really are impossible to fool these days." "James toldmy car was sent in for repairs, but he couldn't find the strawberry candy I kept in the glove compartment. So I'm guessing the person who savedtook it, right?" "Yes." Cedric's tone was calm but grave. "The person who called you is also the one who rescued you. But I can't tell you who it is." Briony fell silent.

She was already close to the truth.

If she pressed him, Cedric would probably cave and tell her everything. But she didn't.

She lowered her eyes, thoughtful. Finally, she asked quietly, "Was there something wrong with the candy?" "Just as you suspect." Briony's breath caught in her chest.

Ferdinand had really tried to harm her child.

But why? Just because they were Stewart's children? "There was gypsum in the candy. Over time, it can disrupt circulation, cause muscle atrophy, joint stiffness-even damage kidney function." Cedric paused, then added, "The dose was low. Even if a child ate it, there wouldn't be obvious symptoms right away. But if it continued... things could get very serious." Briony went pale, her hands clenching the bedsheet. "Ferdinand always acted so kind toward little Nina-he was the one who cured her, after all. If Lucky hadn't insisted Nina not eat the candy today, I would never have believed Ferdinand would tamper with it." "I know this is a lot to take in, but for now, I advise you not to confront Ferdinand directly. Pretend you don't know anything." Briony frowned. "Why?" "For the past six months, Ferdinand's been out of the country. Now he's suddenly CEO of MQ. There has to be something he's hiding." "You think his background isn't clean?" "That's just my guess." "Dr. Clarke." Briony looked at him, serious. "Was it him who told you to say all this to me?" Cedric hesitated.

"It's been six months." Briony's voice was barely above a whisper. “Just tell me― is he alright?" Cedric sighed. "Did you already suspect it was him who called you?"

"Not at first." Briony turned to the window, her gaze distant. "Right after the accident, before I blacked out heard him call my name. When i woke up in the hospital, James toldsGood Samaritan called the ambulance, but that didn't add up-especially since I ended up in your hospital." Cedric couldn't help but laugh. "There's just no fooling you, is there?"

Briony dropped her eyes. "I won't ask any more. He has his reasons, his responsibilities. T'll keep pretending I ΕΠ: know nothing. Just tell me-be's o "He's alright, but he still needs Dr. Riley's treatment for now. And for the tbeing, he needs to stay 'dead."" Briony understood.

She closed her eyes. "Tell him to take care of himself. He still has two children waiting for him to keep his promise."

"I'll pass it on." Cedric nodded. "But as for Ferdinand-please, be careful Take my advice and fire a bodyguard to stay with you, around the clock." Briony's voice was calm. "I'll think about it."
