In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 440
The longer Sean waited, the more frantic he became, avoiding eye contact with Jean. Anxiety tightened his throat, and cold sweat slicked his palms. He yearned for her to break the silence yet feared her words, silently grappling with his nerves.'What should I do? If Jean decides to leave, should I plead for forgiveness, even if it means a slap for my recklessness?'"Sean, I’m presenting you with two options," Jeanna interrupted his thoughts, holding up two fingers. "One, we marry. Two, you vanish from my life forever."Sean was jolted by her words, his skin prickling with shock. He had once dismissed the exaggerated reactions depicted in television dramas as absurd, but now, faced with this pivotal moment, it felt as though he had won the lottery and set off fireworks simultaneously. His excitement was palpable.'Marriage! Jean proposed marriage!'A surge of elation electrified Sean. His thoughts sparked wildly, nearly short-circuiting him.But as he hesitated, Jean's expression

"Can't you be serious for once?""I am being serious." Sean's eyes glimmered with excitement as he wrapped her in a bear hug, holding her close before finally speaking with an intense thrill. "Jean, can you feel my heart racing? I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!"Do you know? Since that one-night stand, my heart races uncontrollably when I think of you. Watching you suffer tore me apart. When you struggled with the situation involving Sophie, I wished I could move mountains to bring her back alive for you."Jean, nothing makes me happier than seeing you laugh freely and hearing you chide and argue with me. I love you. I never thought I’d love any woman other than my mother, but then you came into my life. I realized I could love another woman deeply and want to spend my entire life with her."Sean often whispered sweet nothings, but his words were imbued with genuine conviction this time. "Jean, even if I’m not serious with the whole world, I will always be serious with y

Matthew only caught snippets of the conversation, but a certain word piqued his interest. "Dad, who got married?""Who else but Neville's second son? Old Neville is over the moon, calling everyone he knows."Matthew smiled gently. "Oh, Sean, huh? He was quite the wild card, but he's mellowed out these past few years. Seems like he’s finally settling down."Although Sean was not his son, he could not help feeling relieved. Sean had always been a troublemaker, and his eldest brother, Fenix, was too much of a workaholic. The Cheshires certainly had their hands full with these kids' marriages. It was no surprise his parents were quick to spread the news of his marriage.However, Jeff’s face seemed less than pleased, prompting Matthew to ask, "Dad, isn't it good news that Sean is getting married? Why the long face?"Sean and Cedric had grown up like brothers, and Jeff had witnessed all of Sean’s ups and downs. He should be happy about his marriage."I am happy, but it's hard to fully

In the presence of top executives from X Corp., Evander lowered his voice to a discreet murmur.Nevertheless, Cedric's expression changed dramatically. 'Grandpa collapsed?'"Let’s end the meeting here. Dismissed." Cedric rose abruptly from his seat and strode out of the conference room, leaving the department managers still processing the sudden interruption."What exactly happened?" Cedric asked, his brows furrowed with worry.'Grandfather is old and has high blood pressure, but he's always been meticulously cared for. How could he have collapsed so suddenly?' he wondered."Your father tried to reach you but couldn’t get through, so he left a message on the landline. He mentioned that your grandfather was walking in the garden with the housekeepers when he suddenly fainted. He’s been rushed to the hospital, and your father urges you to come quickly.""Go start the car," Cedric instructed gravely. As Evander turned to leave, Cedric called out again, his voice tinged with suspicio

Before Sophie's thoughts could wander too far, the ring of her phone brought her back to reality. She glanced at the caller ID, her eyebrows lifting in surprise. She had just mentioned Cedric, and now he was calling.With Jeanna and Linda watching, Sophie hesitated momentarily before finally pressing the answer button. "Hello."After her initial greeting, she was at a loss for words, but Cedric quickly filled the silence. "Grandpa has fainted.""What? How could that happen?!" The news of Jeff's collapse dissolved any lingering tension between them.Sophie clutched her phone, her face etched with concern. She wondered, 'Wasn't Grandpa in good health? He just called a few days ago, subtly praising Cedric. How could he suddenly faint?'"Dad said Grandpa was walking in the garden when he collapsed. He's now in the hospital. I'm downstairs at Luxford Group," Cedric said urgently.Sophie's mind raced with worry, causing her to forget her purse as she hurried out of the office. "I’m com

Matthew's tone softened as he explained, "At our age, if I had wanted to replace you, I would have done so long ago. Besides, I’ve always valued your kindness and understanding.""Hmph, I dare you," Melissa retorted sharply, a glint of severity flashing in her eyes. "Matthew, I warn you. If you ever betray me again, I swear it will be your biggest regret, even if it costs me my life."Her stern warning made Matthew blush and cough awkwardly, clearly trying to evade the topic. "Don’t be absurd."Melissa was about to respond when her attention was drawn to Cedric and Sophie rushing from the elevator. Her expression tensed, but she quickly stood up. "Cedric, you're finally here. Your grandfather is still in resuscitation!"Cedric gently patted her shoulder and then turned to his father, his voice tinged with concern. "Dad, how could Grandpa just faint? What did the doctors say?""Dr. Zegler mentioned that given Dad’s age, we need to be prepared for anything. We'll have more details o

"Dad just had a physical examination a few days ago. Apart from the slightly high blood pressure, there were no other issues. Dr. Zegler, could you have made a mistake?" Matthew had always had great faith in Dr. Zegler's medical skills, but this time he could not help but doubt.'This must be a mistake. Dad has always been rather sharp, so how could he suddenly be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease?'Dr. Zegler adjusted his glasses and hesitated for a moment. "I understand everyone's feelings, but many patients with Parkinson's disease show no symptoms initially, only demonstrating central nervous system atrophy."As for your father's physical examination report, the examination center might have focused more on organ lesions and perhaps overlooked something. But of course, further tests are required to be sure."The phrase "to be sure" was tantamount to stamping the conclusion.Matthew could not help but wipe away his tears, but the tears seemed to be defying him, continuing to f

Melissa, named by Matthew, rolled her eyes with a hint of disdain. "You're hardly ever home to take care of Grandpa. Now that he's collapsed, you come running fast."It was unclear whether he genuinely cared about Jeff's well-being or was thinking about the other assets under his name.Having been married for many years, Matthew knew what she wanted to say next and glared at her with a dim expression. "Say less. He's one of Dad's grandsons. It's natural for him to come over now that my father has fallen ill."He continued. "Aus, Dr. Zegler said that Grandpa has Parkinson's disease. You and Cedric should consult more international experts in this field. See if there are any methods that don't involve medication, methods that can slow down Grandpa's deterioration."Hearing the word "Parkinson's", Austin's eyes widened in shock. 'Grandpa has Parkinson's? How could this be?'After the shock, he turned to look at Sophie beside him, but Cedric's body partially blocked his view, revealin
