The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick knitted his brows, maintaining a composed expression as he analyzed the situation.

Only a few individuals in Chanaea possessed the capability to defeat Gwendolyn unless her adversaries deployed a significant number of elite fighters. However, such a course of action would be highly conspicuous, attracting unnecessary attention within the hospital.

While waiting for Jasper to quickly organize his team and Charles to arrive and take over, Cedrick comforted the baby.
