Chapter 194 I Want You to Be My Bridesmaid
Merw
Caden disappeared without any news, and Brend thought he had stopped chatting. Just as he was about to put down his phone, a portrait jumped out.
“What about this?”
Brend had no idea what Caden was up to in the middle of the night, actually getting someone to draw a portrait.
But he still patiently clicked on the portrait.
At a glance, he was so scared that he stood frozen in place.
Especially, he stood alone in the empty hospital corridor, feeling a chill down the back of his neck.
He quickened his pace while replying to messages.
“Exactly the same.”
“Before, I used to think it was Beatrice when she was little, but now I finally see the difference, these eyes are exactly the same as yours!”
Brend closed the office door and took a sip of water
to calm his nerves.
He had always believed that dreams were nothing but illusions, but now… he couldn’t be sure
anymore.
“I knew it.”
There was no news from Caden anymore.
Brenda was so scared that she couldn’t sleep all night.
Beatrice was given a dose of sedative and slept well. When she woke up, people were not so tired
anymore.
She looked at Monica, who was pouring porridge by the bedside, and immediately sat up, grabbing Monica’s arm.
“Mom, I knew that doctor.”
“What
doctor?”
Monica
jumped in fright, almost spilling her porridge.
“Mom, can you help me check the background of the doctor who performed the surgery on Madelynn?”
That doctor was the one who helped Madelynn get medicine for abortion last time.
It was no coincidence that Madelynn had another miscarriage this time, and it was the same doctor.
Beatrice felt that there must be some problem with it.
She looked at Monica with her last hope.
Monica’s expression, however, was a bit strange. She neither lightly nor heavily let Beatrice’s hand and lowered her head to stir the porridge. “Beatrice, forget it.”
Beatrice was stunned, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Happy…news?”

moment before she managed to speak the words.
Monica’s eyes welled up with tears as she choked out, “This is forcing us to admit our guilt, we…. have no choice, Beatrice, we’re in deep trouble.”
“What about Ryan? I can bear the loss, but he would never let you suffer as well!
Beatrice lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed, but she was held down by Monica.
“Ryan was on a business trip, he had no idea about these things, I didn’t say anything”
“Why didn’t you say? Why…” Beatrice instantly understood something, and fell heavily back onto the sickbed. “Sir Baldwin threatened you, didn’t he?”
Monica burst into tears and blamed herself, saying, “Sir Baldwin said I didn’t teach you well, embarrassing the Baldwin family. Beatrice, I’m sorry! It’s my fault!”
Beatrice was well aware of her position in the Baldwin family and let out a bitter laugh.
“No problem, give me the porridge.”
She took the bowl and lowered her head to eat, but all that remained in her stomach was bitterness.
Why is it so difficult for her even though she clearly walks on the opposite path of her past life?
Beatrice had breakfast, changed the bandage on her wrist once, and then asked Monica to handle her discharge so she could go back and rest.
Just the scene of her and Madelynn arguing in the ward was captured and posted online.
Madelynn’s fans attacked her and her studio crazily.
Beatrice felt very sorry for Alicia and went to talk to her about resigning. After Alicia refused, she only said one sentence.
“Beatrice, are your dreams only worth the few words of these internet trolls? Remember, what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger.”
After
listening, Beatrice immediately
withdrew
her resignation letter.
In the beginning, apart from online abuse, even her colleagues ignored her. But after half a month, her efforts and contributions were evident, and her colleagues also understood that ignoring her was meaningless.
Gradually, everyone returned to their previous working state.
Until Madelynn reappeared.
At this moment, there were only two days left until her wedding with Caden. Her attire was also sufficient to match Mrs. Baldwin’s status, even the car and driver behind her were replaced by members of the Baldwin family.
She blocked Beatrice’s way in front of everyone and said gently, “Beatrice, I wanted to ask you to
be
my
bridesmaid.”

Beatrice paused for a few seconds, then snapped out of it and pushed her hand away. “Sorry, I’ve been really busy lately and don’t have time to be your bridesmaid.”
“Beatrice, I have already explained to the fans that it was an accident, I don’t blame you, and I don’t want others to think that there is any animosity between us. Besides… your mom is also part of the Baldwin family, let’s not make things difficult for the Baldwin family, okay?” Madelynn appeared to be understanding and advising Beatrice, but in reality, every word she spoke was a threat.
They used online bullying to threaten her, they used Monica to threaten her. Beatrice sneered, “No time means no time, would falling and hitting your head also make you brainless?”
“You…”
Madelynn looked back at the car with tears welling up in her eyes.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Xander’s cold and stern expression. He glanced at Beatrice and said, “What? Do I still need to come down and personally invite you?” Beatrice’s spine chilled, she clenched her fist and said, “Alright, I’ll be the bridesmaid.” Madelynn playfully took Beatrice’s hand and said with a smile, “Let’s go, we have an appointment with Mr. Caden to try on wedding dresses, and you can also try on a bridesmaid dress.”
Beatrice pulled her hand forcefully and said, “There’s no need to go through all this trouble, just give me the bridesmaid dress directly when the time comes…”
“Cough.” Xander coughed and glanced at the bodyguard in front. “Why don’t you go and fetch Ms. Lindsey to get in the car?”
When the bodyguard opened the car door, he gave Beatrice a push.
At this moment, Madelynn had already sat in the car and patted the leather seat, saying, “Beatrice, get in the car quickly. This is a wedding gift from Sir Baldwin to me and Mr. Caden. You are my first invited friend.”
Xander was really willing to spend on a car worth 1.7 million dollars.
Beatrice didn’t say a word throughout the entire journey.
When Sir Baldwin arrived at the bridal shop, he lowered his gaze and straightened his clothes without leaving a trace, saying, “It is polite for others to give face, but one still needs to protect their own dignity, otherwise it would truly be embarrassing.”
Beatrice knew that this was said for her to hear.
She ignored it and got off the car directly.
Just then, Caden’s car arrived.
The man got off the car wearing a long coat. It had been a month since they last saw each other, and from the fountain across the store entrance, he looked like a stranger. He walked slowly, the dusk was slightly dark, and the evening breeze caressed him. A few drops of water splashed, adding a touch of coolness to the man in the fading twilight. The graceful butterfly fluttered by Beatrice’s side and flew intimately close to him. a

“Um.”
Caden casually nodded and led Madelynn to Xander.
“Dad, how come you came too?”

“You getting married is such a big thing, I definitely have to take it seriously, otherwise how can I explain it to your mother in the future?” Sir Baldwin mentioned marriage, adding a few smiles.
Caden nodded, “Go in.”
The three of them happily walked into the bridal shop, with Beatrice being the indispensable witness, just like a narrator in the background.
She looked up and glanced at the setting sun in the west, suppressing the waves in her heart, forcing a smile, and then walked into the bridal shop.
