Chapter 1177
Alfred felt guilty. He thought if he had gone to the hotel a little earlier, maybe the baby would have survived.
Brayion pointed to the nameplate on the baby's ankle and said, "This really is your baby."
Every newborn baby had a nameplate with their name on it hanging from their ankle.
Since Catelyn hadn't told them the baby's name, Alfred gave the baby the name Cattie. The nameplate on the baby's ankle read Cattie, so Alfred believed it was Catelyn's daughter.
"I'm not lying. She was in my belly for nine months. I could feel her breathing. This baby is definitely not my baby!"
Brayion frowned fiercely. "Are you suspecting that someone had replaced your baby with this dead baby?"
Catelyn asked, "Have you gotten through to Cedrick?"
Alfred froze. "Are you suspecting that Cedrick took the baby away? That's crazy!"
"He's been trying to take me back to Sapphire City, so Yael can monitor the baby's condition at all times. Yael didn't come to Sapphire City today as planned. I can't think of anyone else except Cedrick."
"If Cedrick took the baby away, I wouldn't be easy on him!" Alfred snapped. Then he dialed Cedrick's number again.
Still, Cedrick's phone was unanswered. Alfred then turned his eyes to Eason, who was standing outside the door...
When Alfred turned to Eason, Brayion understood what he meant.
"Honey, get some sleep. If Cedrick took the baby away, I promise I'll bring it back to you." Brayion gently soothed Catelyn, tucked her in, and then went out of the room.
Catelyn didn't want Brayion to worry about her while he was worried about Carrey, so she nodded and closed her eyes.
"No! You don't know Grandpa Mason's condition. He's at such an old age. What if something happens to him during chemotherapy? Let's give him conservative treatment first, and then we'll find an appropriate treatment!"
"Conservative treatment? You hid the news that Grandpa Mason has cancer. If you could find an appropriate treatment, why did you wait until this moment?"
While the doctors were arguing, Cedrick sat in his chair smoking a cigarette in silence. His face was half in the shadows. The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, and the ashtray in front of him was piled up with cigarette butts.
"That's enough!" Cedrick suddenly interrupted the doctors' argument. He had smoked so much that his voice was hoarse. His scolding was intimidating.
Just yesterday, when he and Catelyn were separated, he received a message from Sapphire City...
Draco had cancer and it was in the terminal phase.
Cedrick had previously told the doctors to keep it from Grandpa Mason, but now the doctors could no longer keep it from the old man...
Cedrick had to let Yael stay in Sapphire City, and he also rushed back to Sapphire City.
