Chapter 778

Cathy bit her lip tightly as she opened her eyes stubbornly and forced her tears back.

“Don’t drive me away. As long as you can keep me by your side, I’ll do what you want me to do. I’ll do my best.”

“Heh,” Felipe sneered, “Do you like me that much? So much so that you don’t even have self-esteem and self-love?”

“I don’t just like you.” Cathy met his eyes, unwavering.

However, Felipe dismissed her. He shoved her away, not even looking at her from the corner of his eye.

“Get out. Go to the gates and reflect on whether you’ve been giving it your all when carrying out my orders.”

Cathy was a little stunned when she heard the words. It was snowing outside and the temperature was freezing.

She could not bear such cold weather now.

“Not going?” Felipe urged.

Cathy squeezed her fists and decided not to take such a risk again.

She had lost it once and could not lose it again.

“I… I don’t want to go.” She refused, defying his orders for the first time.

Felipe was also surprised. “What did you just say?”

“I said I don’t want to go. It’s so cold outside, I…”

“Who just said that as long as they can stay by my side, they’re willing to do anything?”

“I’m willing, but…” Cathy squeezed her fists and ran to Felipe with courage, staring at him with clear eyes. “Felipe, I… I’m carrying your child again.”

When she said this, Cathy’s eyes flashed with expectation as a slight smile bloomed on her lips.

Felipe’s expression had an obvious change. There was an elusive sheen flashing across his eyes.

Cathy thought that Felipe was also rejoicing, but then she suddenly heard him say, “So what? Do you think you can become my wife and be exempted from punishment just because you’re pregnant with my child?”

There was no warmth in his tone and even his eyes were cold.

“Go to the gates immediately and reflect. You’re not allowed to enter without my permission.”

The light in Cathy’s eyes dimmed instantly. She pinched her fingers, still trying to resist. “Fe—”

“Don’t make me repeat the same thing again.” He was so determined and cold. “Unless you don’t want to stay with me anymore, you can leave right away. I won’t stop you.”

“I see,” Cathy whispered weakly.

She turned around and stood in the snowy winter night just as he instructed. The cold biting wind cut her skin like a knife as the chill penetrated every corner of her body.

However, it was not colder than his cold heart.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Felipe watched Cathy’s thin body standing under the icy sky of the snowy night. His brows were in a frown.

‘Felipe, I… I’m carrying your child again.’

Cathy’s words sounded in his ears again.

Felipe’s heart clenched and he somehow felt a little pain in his heart.

Seeing Cathy sneezing twice, he frowned and decided to call her back to the house.

He swaggered around and had just walked to the entrance of the study when Felipe received a call from the bodyguard, saying that they had found Meredith. She was locked in the fitting room with her hands tied behind her back. According to Meredith, it was Madeline who did it.

Felipe did not believe it. He immediately went to the garage and drove away.

Cathy heard the sound of a car driving away and she could tell that it was the sound of Felipe’s car’s engine. It seemed he had just left and ignored her.

She wanted to go in, but the two bodyguards were looking at her.

Without Felipe’s permission and instruction, they would never let her in.

Cathy was trembling in the cold wind and winter snow, her stiff and cold palms touching her lower abdomen. She could feel the last trace of residual heat gradually dissipating…

She did not know how much time had passed. She was in a daze when she heard the familiar sound of the engine again, but she was too cold to open her eyes.

Felipe drove in through the gates. With the lights from the car, he suddenly saw a figure lying on the ground while covered in snow. Felipe took a closer look and saw Cathy’s face.

She had actually fainted on this cold and windy snowy night!

Felipe’s heartstrings suddenly twitched as unprecedented panic struck him.

He immediately got out of the car, walked toward Cathy, and crouched down. He picked her up only to see glaring blood in the place where she had been lying down!
