Chapter 808 Two Troublesome Children. 

As his wife held him, Cedrick felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Suppressing the urge to cough, he spoke softly. “You’re right to scold me, Darling. I should’ve been more considerate tonight. If it will appease your anger, I don’t mind accepting some domestic punishment.”

“I can’t believe you’re still in the mood for jokes right now.” Irritated, Gwendolyn playfully punched him.

Cedrick took her hand, smiling faintly, and leaned his face closer. “I’m fine. All I need is a kiss from my wife.”

Gwendolyn stared at him. Still uneasy, she called for a doctor to examine him.

Seeing the concern in Cedrick’s eyes, Nico merely shrugged.

They had the situation under control there, but over at the lab, all hell broke loose.

Zendaya woke up in the middle. Upon not seeing Gwendolyn, she burst into tears, giving Charles quite a scare.
