You Taught Me How to Stary Chapter 07

Cedric frowned and clicked on the link. 

First came a familiar coquettish voice: “Leo, when are 

you going to introduce me to Mr. Lane?” 

Leonard’s voice was breathless. 

“Don’t you already have Cedric?” 

Vivian snorted coldly: “Cedric is useless! I thought 

being with him would get me access to the big shots, 

but he’s completely worthless!” 

Then came disturbing footage. 

Leonard’s company and Cedric’s company were fierce rivals. 

In Cedric’s mind, Vivian was definitely the traitor. 

His eyes turned red with rage as he rushed out of the study to the living room. 

“Vivian! How dare you betray me! Why did you steal company secrets! Tell me! Who sent you?” 

Vivian’s face went pale with fear as she frantically denied it. 

“I didn’t, it wasn’t me, there must be some misunderstanding.” 

Cedric opened the video and pressed closer to her. 

Vivian trembled and kept backing away. 

“Cedric, I only slept with another man, I didn’t do anything else wrong! The company secrets really 

weren’t me!” 

Burning with fury, Cedric grabbed a nearby vase and 

hurled it at Vivian. 

“Ah!” 

A scream rang out. 

Vivian covered her bleeding face and fled out the door. 

Cedric wanted to chase after her, but his phone kept vibrating non–stop. 

He looked at it, his pupils contracting. 

It was all chat records, videos, and voice messages 

from over the years of Vivian humiliating Josephine. 

Tears streamed down Cedric’s face uncontrollably. 

He felt like his heart had been torn open, the pain making it impossible to breathe. 

He could no longer suppress his emotions. 

With trembling hands, he searched for a long time before finding the hospital’s previous call. 

He called back: “Hello, I’m Josephine’s husband…” 

Before Cedric could finish, the nurse on the other end 

interrupted sharply: “This patient has been in the ICU for days! She almost died several times! We thought she had no family, but turns out she has a heartless husband!” 

After complaining a bit, the nurse finally told him the hospital and room number. 

Cedric arrived at Josephine’s room. 

He stood at the door for a moment before slowly pushing it open. 

“Josephine…” 

Looking at Josephine lying in bed, deathly pale and struggling to breathe. 

Cedric’s heart felt like it was being squeezed, the pain making it hard to breathe. 

He’d spent too long in high society and had been assimilated, thinking it was normal for men to have other women. 

He thought Josephine should be like those other men‘ s wives. 

Just obediently be a man’s accessory. 

Cedric had never thought of abandoning Josephine. 

He just wanted her to be obedient. 

But Josephine refused. 

She had an affair, remained indifferent to Vivian. 

He thought Josephine had changed her heart. 

So he started deliberately provoking her, testing her, even humiliating her. 

He wanted to force her to submit, to admit her 

mistakes, to accept everything he did. 

Until this moment, he finally realized. 

He was the one who cheated first, he was the one who hurt Josephine. 

He panicked, he was scared, and he regretted it. 

He was afraid of losing the woman he loved most in this life. 

I lay in the hospital bed, slowly turned my head, and met Cedric’s bloodshot eyes. 

Seeing me look at him, he knelt by the bed, 

“Josephine, I was wrong… I really know I was wrong… 

I pretended to be melancholy: “Cedric, I thought I’d never see you again.” 

Cedric’s eyes reddened, his voice choked with emotion. 

“I’m sorry, I came too late… I will cure you.” 

“Medical care is so advanced now, if it doesn’t work domestically, we’ll go abroad, if famous doctors don’t work, we’ll find alternative treatments, there will be a way…” 

I smiled, deliberately slowing my voice: “Cedric, do you know how I got stomach cancer?” 

Hearing this question, Cedric’s fingers trembled uncontrollably. 

“Back then, to drink on your behalf, I developed 

stomach problems. Once when the pain was so bad I couldn’t stand straight, I asked you for money to see a doctor, but you said I was being dramatic, faking 

illness, and didn’t give me a penny.” 

“I could only go out and find work, but they said you 

had told them not to hire me.” 

“Josephine… stop talking…” He clenched his fists, his eyes growing redder. 

I didn’t stop, speaking each word more clearly. 

“I finally found some odd jobs, but then some thugs falsely accused me of stealing from them. They forced me to work as a drinking companion at a nightclub, and if I didn’t drink, they’d make me sleep with clients.” 

“I was so useless, I could only keep drinking, until I 

had stomach bleeding, until I was hospitalized.” 

“I had no choice but to accept the situation with you and Vivian. Back then, you two must have been so 

pleased with yourselves!” 

Cedric didn’t dare look at me. 

He hunched his back, repeating the three most 

useless words over and over: “I’m sorry.” 

Just then, a familiar young nurse pushed the door open at just the right moment. 

Miss Brown, is this your husband? He’s dressed so 

well, how could he have no money?” 

She glanced at Cedric with disgust. 

“Miss Brown used to be a regular at our hospital. I 

told her to drink less, but she said if she didn’t drink, 

she’d have no money.” 

This sentence completely broke Cedric. 

He couldn’t even stand steady. 

Finally, he stumbled away in a panic. 

I smiled sarcastically. 

Not long after, the hospital room door was kicked open violently. 

Vivian, half her face wrapped in bandages, stormed in aggressively. 

“You bitch! How dare you frame me!” 

Her eyes were full of hatred and malice. 

Vivian always liked to show off in front of me that she‘ d become Cedric’s personal secretary. 

I specifically found someone with a similar build to hers to retrieve the patent my father had developed. 

Cedric’s company had survived until today entirely thanks to this patent. 

As for Leonard, those two had been involved long ago. 

I just needed to expose Leonard and Vivian’s relationship, and Cedric would definitely believe Vivian did it. 

Afterward, I had someone tell Vivian that I was behind it. 

I wanted to see her go crazy with anger while being unable to do anything to me, And this was just an appetizer. 

As for Cedric… 

I must kill him with my own hands!
