Resurrection of The Destroyer

Up

"You're useless! A disabled man like you deserves to be humiliated like this! You're nothing but a disgrace to my older sister!" Evan mocked. He even chuckled at the end of his sentence, looking so proud.

Cedric didn't even look at the man at all. His gaze had only been focused on Edith. His gaze was complicated, angry, disappointed, even sad. The various gazes that merged into an unreadable expression. "Edith." Cedric called, his voice low and lyrical. He smiled faintly, looking sad instead. "I've been waiting for three years, the moment when I walk. The moment when I can be useful to you. All this time I've always tried not to embarrass you."

Edith was silent in her place. She bit her lower lip. Her feelings were mixed, raging in her heart. In the end, the woman stepped closer without realizing it, she helped Cedric to sit back in the chair slowly. "Don't be stupid Cedric. In the future, don't do that again, I beg you."

"Edith, you have to listen to me." Cedric held his wife's shoulder, the touch was very gentle, almost like a desperate request. "Edith, it's my fault for making you suffer so much these years. I really didn't mean to make you like this, I'm sorry."

Realizing her husband's expression that looked so desperate and frustrated, Edith couldn't hold on any longer. She nodded, patting his shoulder. Feelings of guilt for the words she had said earlier began to rage. The woman lowered her head. Not knowing what to say.

"Edith, don't cry anymore in the future. You can be angry with me, it's okay because all this time it was my fault," Cedric said, he was still trying to comfort her.

Edith shook her head, she wiped both sides of her cheeks with the back of her hand. "I'm sorry for saying bad things to you, Cedric. I'm sorry for shouting and saying inappropriate words."

"Why are you apologizing? I deserve those curses and harsh words. You live such a bad life because of me, so you don't need to feel sorry, Edith. This is very appropriate." Cedric smiled softly, he stroked his wife's hair. "It's all my fault. I wasn't strong enough to protect you."

"I've gone too far." Edith muttered, she lowered her head with great regret. "Cedric, I feel so frustrated. I don't know what else to do. Those shares, those shares are my only property. Everything I've experienced so far, everything I own has been taken away just like that. Even now they also intend to take away the last right I have."

"You've received such a terrible injustice." Cedric wiped Edith's face, his hands trembling for no reason. "Don't cry okay?"

"Cedric, all this time I've been so humiliated. They made me endure great humiliation, took away my achievements, took away all the assets I've worked so hard to collect. Why do they now even want to take away the last thing I've wanted to maintain Cedeic?"

Cedric closed his eyes, he gradually felt the warm feeling in his legs return. He held Edith's shoulders on both sides and stood up, bringing the woman to stand up as well.

The scene inevitably made everyone in the room who was staring at them as if they were watching a joke suddenly fall silent and stare.

"Edith, I'm cured. I'm no longer a cripple. My struggle for the past three years has been to cure my legs. This time you no longer need to be embarrassed because you have a crippled husband. Now I am capable enough to protect you with my healthy hands and feet," Cedric said with a smile.

Edith froze in place. Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped. The woman took a few steps back while assessing her husband's appearance from top to bottom. The man was even very tall when he stood. Much taller than anyone else in the room.

Everyone reacted even bigger than Edith. Some even had to rub their eyes to make sure that the sight was real.

"You, you, you!" Evan even stuttered and trembled with anger. The man approached with emotions soaring from head to toe. "You're a fraud! How could you deceive us all? You said that you were permanently paralyzed during the selection of the bride and groom! Why can you stand up now? You're really a fraud! Bastard! I'm going to sue you!"

Cedric turned his head, he looked at Evan as if he was looking at a fool. "Didn't you also consult a doctor at that time? Didn't your trusted doctor also say that I was permanently paralyzed?"

"You! Are you in cahoots with the Ortega family doctor? Damn it! This bastard!"

Cedric chuckled as he shook his head in disbelief. "You're too stupid. I really regret that the Ortega company has to end up in the hands of a useless person like you."

"You! Don't talk nonsense! You're clearly a fraud! Even at that time Edith also chose you just because of your slightly handsome face! You're actually just a useless person!" Evan couldn't even stop cursing. His shouts really echoed throughout the large room.

Cedric rolled his eyes lazily. "At that time I was permanently paralyzed, but there was a magical doctor who was able to cure me. Is this enough to answer your question?"

"Tell me who the doctor is! Let me kill him!"

"None of your business." Cedric turned around, he looked at Edith who was still frozen. With a charming smile, the man approached, he usually had to look up to be able to look at his wife's face but this time the situation was reversed, Edith was the one who had to look up when she looked at him. "Is it too surprising?"

"Very surprising." Edith answered in a half whisper.

Cedric stroked his wife's hair very gently, enjoying the beautiful face of the woman who usually looked frustrated. This time Edith looked much brighter than usual with a glimmer of hope shining in her charming pupils.

Edith stared at Cedric, honestly she didn't know how to react when she saw the husband she had always thought was disabled and would not be able to stand for the rest of his life was able to walk right in front of her eyes.

It felt very thrilling and on the other hand also confusing. But Edith liked this feeling. Very pleasant. She couldn't refuse it at all.
