Chapter 159


    Chapter 159 “You…” Catelyn, flustered and annoyed altogether, folded her arms at her chest


    defensively.” Don’t touch me.”


    Cedrick admired her flustered expression from a distance. He had not slept so soundly for a long while.


    “Nothing happened between usst night!” Catelyn sputtered, subconsciously raising her voice when she


    did, as though nothing happened between them if she did.


    Cedrick was about to say something but decided not to.


    He wanted to tell Catelyn what happened that night, but seeing her in such a state…

    He looked displeased. “Well, if nothing happened, what did?” Catelyn subconsciously held the nket


    tightly in her fists, her grip so firm that she nearly punctured her fingers right through the fabric. “Do you


    see these?” Cedrick pointed at his muscr chest. “These long marks are all your masterpieces.” “I


    didn’t…” Catelyn was flustered. Her face became tinted with pink as she muttered, her longshes


    fluttering, “I don’t remember anything! Even if anything happened, it was you taking advantage of the


    situation.” Cedrick used his long fingers to lift her chin. “Are you sure I took advantage of you, and not


    the other way around?”


    “Cut it out!” Catelyn refused to recallst night’s event, her eyes growing warm and brimming with tears.


    After a long while, she finally said, “I- I would like to take a bath, but I’m feeling weak. Can you…please


    help me fill the bathtub?”


    The embarrassed Catelyn grabbed the corners of the duvet to cover her face before she poked her head


    out.


    Luckily, Cedrick was already in the bathroom. She could hear the water sloshing about in the bathtub


    from the room.


    Cedrick then dripped a few droplets of essential oil into the water to relieve her exhaustion. However,


    when he came out of the bathroom, he was met with an empty room. Even the clothes scattered on the


    floor had vanished.


    It felt like a huge rock was pressed against his chest, and his gentle expression, his face turning grim.


    Catelyn left the hotel and kept her head down all the way. Her nostrils were warm, and luckily, she did not


    burst into tears.


    Chapter 159


    She felt utterly caught up with conflict. After all, Cedrick and her had once more crossed the lines. She


    could, however, not me it on Cedrick. After all, if he was not there to save her…


    Catelyn deliberately took a detour. Spotting a pharmacy, she went in to purchase some morning-after


    pills.


    The pharmacist was rather indifferent about it, thankfully. She even told her that the convenience store


    across the road provided free drinking water. “Thank you,” replied Catelyn and left after purchasing the


    pills and water. She then went to the park and sat on the long bench. Perhaps she was too tired, or


    maybe it was the side-effect from the spiked wine, but Catelyn felt utterly worn out. She screwed the


    mineral water bottle open and was about to take the pill when out of the blue, a car with a familiar te


    number came into view, stopping at the traffic light.
