The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 542 Hurt Him Terribly
Without any changes to his expression, Cedrick chuckled and said, “I’m fine. How can I be sick?”
Gwendolyn did not believe his words, however. She had been with him for a long time, and she knew him inside out.
It would have been nothing if the strangeness had only lasted one or two days, but for this to be consecutive… Something had to be up.
As she reached out to Cedrick, she uttered, “Pass me the bowl. I’ll eat it myself.”“”“”
Her stubbornness made Cedrick hand her the bowl. Gently, he reminded her, “Be careful. It’s hot.”
Gwendolyn nodded.
The second she took the bowl, she swiftly placed it on the bedside table and grabbed his hand. Without hesitation, she rolled his sleeves up to check the wrist that shuddered earlier.
“Gwenny!”
By the time Cedrick retracted his hand, it was too late. Gwendolyn had already seen the abrasion and swelling on his wrist.
Startled, Gwendolyn widened her eyes at him as rage built up in her chest. “How did you get hurt? Even I’ve never hurt you this bad when you make a mistake! Who did this to you?”
Cedrick lowered his gaze and averted his eyes from her. As he guiltily clutched his sleeve, he muttered, “No one. I accidentally burnt myself on the edge of the pot while cooking. I didn’t run the spot under cold. water, and I didn’t think the skin would be burnt off. But I’ve treated it already, so don’t worry
How can I not worry about you?
Gwendolyn’s eyes reddened, and she ruminated about what she had seen.
How can that possibly be the result of him burning himself on the pot? It’s straight too, as if something had struck him instead
Thus, she uttered, “I don’t believe you. Give me your hand. I want to take a closer look at it.”“
He refused to budge and rejected her. “It’s nothing. You don’t need to blow this out of proportion.”
“Hurry up and give me your hand!” she ordered. “Why are you hiding your injuries from me?”
Cedrick hung his head, but he stayed unmoving and silent.
He felt helpless. As he expected, Gwendolyn was smart and would never miss anything.
“Ceddy, you know me. I won’t stop until I get what I want. You can hide this from me now, but you have to be a hundred percent certain that you can hide it from me forever, or else I’ll find out about it eventually
Then, in a softer tone, she went on as she reached out for his hand, “I just feel bad for you, so let me look at it.”
Cedrick pulled his hand back to avoid her again
Ultimately, Gwendolyn took the opportunity of his distracted state to lunge over and forcibly pull his sleeve up to reveal his muscular arm covered with weals.
