Chapter 764
Catelyn was lost in the internal chaos.
Just before dawn, she received news from the hospital informing her that Stella's surgery had been completed.
She hurried back to the hospital, just in time to hear the doctor say, "Good news. We've managed to put the patient
in stable condition, and it seems to be getting better at this rate.
"However, the patient's brain was severely impaired, and the situation isn't looking too good, she also hit her head
not long ago, so I can’t tell when she'll wake up."
Quinn was even more anxious than Catelyn as she grabbed the doctor and hurriedly asked, "So she’s vegetative
now?"
"That's uncertain. It depends on her later recovery," the doctor explained.
Quinn sighed in relief and hurriedly thanked the doctor.
In contrast, Catelyn vehemently begged the doctor to get Stella out of her coma. At that moment, all her hopes
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwere pinned on the doctor and the hospital, she could not see Stella suffer from the accident.
After all, it was her mother on one hand and her husband on the other. She did not want to lose either of them.
Deep down, she still did not believe Cedrick had hit Stella. Even if he did run into Stella, he would never have left
her be.
With that, Catelyn went to the Mason Estate again overnight.
When Grandpa Albert saw Catelyn at the door, he hurriedly ordered the servants to make tea for her.
"Don't trouble them, Grandpa Albert. Can you take me to the garage?" Catelyn went straight to the point.
Grandpa Albert did not know what happened, so he did not refuse and did as Catelyn asked.
In the huge garage, more than 20 luxury cars were parked. Some were gifted by others, and some were bought by
Cedrick himself. There were all kinds of branded cars, including sports cars, business cars, and SUVs.
Catelyn took a while to search around, but she could not find the Mercedis Maybach that hit Stella.
She told Grandpa Albert the license plate number.
The answer that Grandpa Albert gave her petrified her on the spot.
He said, "Ah. If my memories serve, Master Cedrick went out in that car this afternoon."
"Are you sure it was a Mercedis Maybach? A black one?" Catelyn's eyes were slightly red and her face turned pale.
Grandpa Albert nodded solemnly. "Master Cedrickhas been driving his Bently to work recently, and occasionally,
he'll drive his Mercedis Maybach. Yes, it's the Mercedis Maybach you mentioned. What happened, Miss Clark? Did
something happen?"
"Then, did he tell you where he was going when he left?" Catelyn continued to ask nervously, she seemed to hear a
voice in her head telling her to not believe it, that Cedrick could not be a murderer.
Still, all the pieces of information and evidence were not in his favor.
Grandpa Albert shook his head. "I don't know about this. Master Cedrick always does whatever he wants, so we'll
never get to know if he doesn't tell US intentionally."
Catelyn came out of the Mason Estate in despair.
Perhaps the car plate could be a fake one, but no one could explain the coincidences that Cedrick personally drove
the car out and the surveillance camera caught a guy who looked the same as him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer brain hurt a lot, and she felt like it was about to burst. In the end, she returned to Ocean Path Residence.
She decided to review all the surveillance footage again.
Before that, she had been too desperate to find out who the driver that hit Stella with the car was, so she only
watched the scene where Stella was being hit, which was only 10 seconds long.
She hit the reverse button and started watching a minute or two before the accident happened. In the footage,
Stella hurried out of the building with fear and despair on her face as if she was escaping something.
Immediately after that, she lost control and fell out of the double yellow lines, which the car just sped past.
Catelyn hit on the pause button.
She was too out of her mind before, and that was why she failed to notice Stella's reaction.
With a clear mind, she finally realized that Stella...looked like she was being chased.
She kept repeating the section of the footage, but due to the lack of sufficient light source and the limiting angle the
low-quality camera could capture, she could not see who was chasing after her.
Quinn's face suddenly flashed across Catelyn's mind.
She quickly ran to the refrigerator and opened the door.
It was filled with various drinks. That meant that Stella, according to Quinn, did not actually go out to buy drinks.
Quinn was lying.
Nonetheless, Catelyn could not figure out what her lie had to do with Cedrick hurting Stella.
