Chapter 19 He Made His Compromise
When her blanket was thrown away, Ladonna exchanged a glance with Cedric in embarrassment. She frowned in confusion, but she didn’t say a
word.
Cedric suddenly reached out to touch her forehead. “You’re not running a fever. What’s wrong?”
From his serious tone, Ladonna realized that Cedric was not joking with her. He only thought she was being strange.
At this point, she threw her caution away and abruptly sat up, tossing away the blanket.
She asked earnestly, “Don’t you see I’m coaxing you?”
“Coaxing me?” Cedric frowned slightly in bewilderment.
When Ladonna called his name in a soft voice, he was pleased.
But he couldn’t help but wonder at her sudden gesture of friendliness. After all, Ladonna wouldn’t be so nice for no reason.
“Why do you coax me?” Cedric asked after a moment of silence.
“Forget it. Cedric, I’ll be honest with you. Izabella is seriously ill, and there’s not a moment to lose. I gotta look for her biological father.”
“I’ll take care of that. You have to stay with me obediently.” Cedric’s voice turned cold.
It turned out Ladonna did all this to run away from him.
He had thought too much.

“You have no right to lock me up. Why can’t I take my daughter away?”
Ladonna became tougher. For the sake of Izabella, she would make Cedric give in at any cost today.
But who was Cedric? Had anyone ever dared to say no to him? Let alone defy him to his face like this.
Losing his temper, Cedric stretched out his hand and pinned Ladonna to the bed, looking into her eyes coldly.
‘Ladonna, you’d better not test my patience. I can be nice to you, but it doesn’t mean I have no temper.
“Or did you forget who I am after getting along with me?”
Yeah, the Ferguson family was not to be offended, especially Cedric, the heir to the family business and the most ruthless businessman.
Did she have any trump cards to fight against him?
Ladonna fell silent. She stared at Cedric quietly and sighed in
resignation.
She said slowly, “I just want my daughter to survive. What’s wrong with that? I have nothing except Izabella…”
Time blurred. The restraints on Ladonna’s hands vanished. Cedric stood up and casually straightened his suit.
He turned around and said to Ladonna, “Go downstairs for dinner.”
Cedric had made his compromise. He did treat Ladonna differently.
Other people would have gotten into big trouble if they had done this to
him.
“Cedric, I…” Ladonna wouldn’t give up and stood up.

“I told you. I’ll take care of it. Go have dinner. Don’t make me repeat.”
Cedric pushed open the door and left.
Ladonna sat on the bed in depression and raised her hands to cover her face.
All the pain she had kept inside for years finally broke free. Tears coursed down her cheeks quietly.
For the first time, Ladonna felt completely helpless.
What should she do?
It was not that she didn’t believe in Cedric’s power, but she thought he
would be interested in her for a short time.
After he grew tired of her, he would throw Izabella and her out. At that time, Izabella would miss the best time for treatment if she failed to find
her father.
It would be too late then.
However, Ladonna didn’t know that Cedric had sent people to investigate Izabella’s father secretly. He promised to save the girl, and he would do
that.
