    Chapter 852


    Ste took about three minutes for her mood to gradually settle.


    She breathed heavily, and Catelyn fed her half a ss 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.


    "Ste, 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 Ste jog her memory, adding, "I also believe that Ceddy is not the criminal who tried to kill you. Could you recall


    everything?"


    Ste took another sip of the juice, covered her forehead, and immersed herself in thought.


    That 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 mmed 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!" Ste eximed. "I remember that he has a skull ne hanging around his neck! That''s


    right, it''s a ck skull..."


    "I don’t think I''ve ever seen you wearing something like this." Catelyn looked sharply at Cedrick,


    doubting.


    Cedrick repeatedly recalled the surveince 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 rity 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 elerated? 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 apletely different person at the time," Ste


    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 nned to go to Catelyn''spany 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 medicalboratory and went to the


    basement.


    To prevent outsiders from knowing the secret of the Mason family''s gic disease, the basement was


    at a deste ce, bordered the suburbs, and there was no surveince camera along the way.


    After getting a dose of a stabilizing drug and staying in the medicalboratory 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 ident on the way, so he had to rest in a small hotel nearby.


    It was not long until he heard that Ste had been hit by him, which prompted him to look into the case in detail.


    However, it waste 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 Ste 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 ident.


    Seeing Cedrick''s thoughtful appearance, Catelyn could not help but ask curiously, "Ceddy, did you recall something?"


    "I''m notpletely 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 tofort Ste, who was still worried


    about Quinn.
