Chapter 540 Mania Acting Up Again


    Cedrick stopped blowing on the soup, stunned for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his


    senses.


    “Darling, did you forget! Last night, you said the bedsidemp was too bright and asked me to take it


    away. You also told me not to put something like that near the bed anymore.”


    Gwendolyn was dumbfounded.


    “Why can’t I remember anything? Besides, thatmp wasn’t even that bright. Why did I think it was


    blinding?”


    Cedrick smiled warmly as he continued to blow on the spoonful of soup. He brought it to her mouth and


    asked, “How should I know? A woman’s mind is an unfathomable thing. You’ve been exhausted from


    worktely, so you might not have cared about small matters like these. It’s normal to forget about it


    after waking up.


    Is that normal? I don’t think sof Gwendolyn felt it was strange. Although deep in thought, she obediently


    opened her mouth to let Cedrick feed her


    Cedrick stared at her fondly and tenderly while his hands continued to stir the soup to cool it down.


    While Gwendolyn ate, her gaze drifted over to the other side of the bed. The strange feeling in her


    heart increased. “Hubby, why is your bedsidemp still there?”


    To a perfectionist like her, if she were to remove the bedsidemp on her side, she would also have


    Cedrick’s removed since the bedroom would look weird with only onemp. Why would I remove only


    one bedsidemp because it was blinding!


    Cedrick remained calm as he coaxed her, “Darling, I’ll take it awayter if you don’t like it.”


    I will not put arry more dangerous items on the bedside tables. If possible, I want to me Gunny’s


    dresser out of the bedroom too. We don’t need anything else but this bed.


    However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself.


    Seeing that Gwendolyn was still ruminating over the unusual situation in the room, Cedrick held out


    another spoonful of soup. “All right, Gwenny. It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to get worked up


    over it. You have a lot of work toplete today, right? It’s almost one in the afternoon. I’ll send you to


    Harris Group after you’re done eating”


    “It’s almost one!*


    At that point. Gwendolyn was beginning to grow doubtful about her life. Why do I sleep until noon every


    day? Why would either have a headache or feel exhausted when I wake up? Why don’t I make up in


    between?


    Cedrick quickly fed her more food to stop her from further thinking of the recent mysterious events.


    Gwendolyn obediently finished the bowl of food. After that, sheid down on the bed while Cedrick


    gave her a massage.


    The soreness she felt all over her body was soon relieved. She sat up and wrapped her slim arms


    around Cedrick’s slender waist.


    Since his waist had injuries from the whippingst night, Cedrick trembled slightly in pain as he


    scrunched his eyebrows


    Afraid that Gwendolyn would notice his odd demeanor, he forced himself to keep a neutral expression.


    He straightened his back and endured the pain as she hugged him.


    Gwendolyn gently pecked his lips. “My husband is so considerate. If you continue to spoil me like this,


    I’ll be a spoiled brat who doesn’t know how to do anything herself.”


    Cedrick leaned forward and lightly rubbed the tip of his nose against hers. Smiling sweetly, he said, “It’s


    nothing. My Gwenny is ambitious and wants to do great things. As your husband, it’s only natural that I


    help you with these trivial matters.


    Gwendolyn was touched. She tightened her arms around him and hugged him. “Thank you for being


    willing to support my career, Hubby.”


    Cedrick’s eyshes quivered. He quickly adjusted his breathing before whispering into her car, “It’s the


    least I can do.


    After being in each other’s embrace for some time. Gwendolyn finally got out of bed and went to wash


    up.


    Only when she entered the bathroom did Cedrick’s calm exterior crack. He furrowed his brows and


    hissed. in pain.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Luckily, he had already changed into a suit, so Gwendolyn did not notice anything. Since she was


    sharp- witted, she would’ve found out about his injuries if he were still in his thin pajamas.


    Twenty minutester, Gwendolyn was changed into her usual working attire and had also put on some


    light makeup. Holding hands, they left the house together.


    Cedrick drove Gwendolyn to the entrance of Harris Group himself.


    When she disappeared into thepany, his expression turned solemn as he wound up the window,


    He took out his phone and called Joshua to tell him everything that happened the night before.


    Joshua remained calm after listening to Cedrick’s story.


    “When Gwendolyn’s mania acts up, she will lose her ability to think logically. Last night, instead of


    stopping to think, she chose to grab the bedsidemp and smash it. This is considered a normal form


    of venting when her mania acts up: When she wakes up, she won’t remember what she did, either.”“”


    Cedrick understood Joshua’s exnation. He was a little disappointed, but at the same time, he felt


    relieved.


    Thank goodness Gwenny isn’t using her illness to purposely torture me.


    Cedrick was silent while Joshua continued, “Cedrick, you should drop by theb. Let me have a look at


    your injuries and make sure they’re not serious. You can also take home a few strong sedatives in case


    of any emergencies.


    “Okay,” Cedrick agreed. He turned the car around and drove to theb.


    At theb, Cedrick took off his shirt and let Joshua check his wounds.


    Joshua sighed in relief. “Thank goodness. They’re just superficial injuries. You didn’t injure any muscles


    or bones. But….for your body to be whipped to this extent, it must hurt a lot, huh?”


    Cedrick stared at him strangely. “Why don’t you try getting whipped a few times and see if it hurts?”


    The corners of Joshua’s lips twitched. “Forget it. I’m just a weak and helpless professor. I won’t be able


    to endure more than a few strikes before I fall unconscious. I’m not as strong as you to withstand such


    a beating”


    Cedrick red at him as a cold glint shed across his eyes.


    Joshua chuckled as he sensed the threating from Cedrick. He patted Cedrick’s exposed shoulder


    and said, “I don’t mean anything by that. I’m justplimenting you, Cedrick. You’re strong and have


    great stamina


    “That’s enough. Stop your ttery”


    Joshua shut his mouth begrudgingly. He prescribed an anti-inmmatory cream that theb made


    specifically to treat bruises. “This is better than the one you have at home. The only downside is it’ll


    hurt more when you apply it.”


    Cedrick took the cream from Joshua. To him, a medicine that would help heal his wounds faster was


    precisely what he needed.


    Before Cedrick left theb, Joshua reminded, “Cedrick, if Gwendolyn goes into a frenzy again tonight.


    don’t be a human punching bag and let her vent it out on you. It’ll hurt even more to receive a


    beating when your injuries haven’t healed. It’s better if you find a way to inject her with the sedative.”


    Cedrick nodded and left.


    Previously, Joshua said that taking too many potent sedatives would affect the nervous system, which


    isn’t conducive to future treatments. It might even have an impact on curing Gusenny’s mania.


    Regardless, I’ll keep these sedative shots, just in case. I won’t consider using them unless I have no


    other choice.


    Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was focused on her work in the CEO’s office of Harris Group.


    Ever since international news reported the coboration project between Harris Group and Dovil


    Group, Harris Group’s stocks went up. The news was also well received by the public.


    When Gwendolyn found out that Annie was helping Antea Group to negotiate a particr coboration,


    she sent a team of elites to snatch the business.


    She was expecting good news to arrive within two days.


    Even if the team couldn’t win over the coborating party, Gwendolyn felt the need to ruin Annie’s ns


    and take revenge because thetter had stolen her business before.


    The sky gradually turned dark. Gwendolyn, who had worked the whole afternoon, soon felt exhaustion


    take over her.


    She had realized something off about her lifestyletely. Apart from herself, she thought Cedrick was


    acting strange too.


    It felt like he was hiding something from her, but she could not put a finger on what it was.


    Gwendolyn felt a headacheing along. She closed her eyes and massaged her temples as she took


    a short break.


    All of a sudden, a pair of warm hands grabbed her own. She opened her eyes to see Cedrick standing


    in front of her.


    “When did you arrive? Howe I didn’t hear youe in!”


    “I arrived about a minute ago. I’m the husband of Harris Group’s CEO, after all. Even your assistant


    won’t be able to stop me.


    Previously, when Gwendolyn had just taken over Harris Group, she had asked Cedrick’s help to handle


    some businesses. Hence, she left a back door open so he could enter without needing her assistant to


    inform his arrival.


    “Are you tired?” Cedrick gently rubbed the backs of her hands. “You won’t be able to finish your work


    even if you worked twenty-four-seven. You ought to take some breaks. It’s good tobine work and


    rest,” he urged before bending down to sweep Gwendolyn into his arms. “Come on. Let’s go home.”


    After dinner, Gwendolyn and Cedrick yed a two-yer mobile game.


    It was a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.


    They continued ying until ten at night. Only then did Cedrick carry Gwendolyn up the stairs to take a


    shower.


    “Goodnight, Hubby:


    Gwendolyn kissed Cedrick’s lips before lying down on the bedfortably. She closed her eyes and


    went to sleep.


    On the other hand, Cedrick remained awake. He stared at her sleeping figure, not daring even to blink.


    When Gwendolyn’s breathing stabilized, and Cedrick was sure she was fast asleep, he slowly and


    carefully got out of bed. He made his way toward the dresser and quickly gathered the bottles and the


    spray cans, storing them away as a precaution


    When he was done, he chose to sit beside the bed despite feeling exhausted. He stared at Gwendolyn


    sleeping in silence for some time


    Seeing no signs of her acting up, he sighed and rxed, then dragged his tired body onto the bed to lie


    down.


    Cedrick had just closed his eyes and fallen asleep for not even a minute when he sensed a gust of


    winding toward him.


    His eyes immediately snapped open. He grabbed Gwendolyn’s right wrist despite being unable to see


    clearly in the dark.


    However, it was useless.


    pt


    Gwendolyn raised her left hand and swung it at him. Cedrick was caught off guard as a pnded on


    his right cheek.


    He was at a loss for words.


    As expected of my wife. She’s quick to react ande up with a new attack when the first one is


    blocked.
