    Chapter 364


    Even though Catelyn did not want to admit it, it was obvious that she had slowly fallen for how Cedrick


    cared for her and pampered her.


    The moment she saw him walking toward her, back-facing the light source, he looked like a hero that had


    just descended from above,ing to rescue her from the darkness. There was a voice in her head that


    was telling her that –


    She had fallen for him.


    “What else am I doing here? For the view?”


    Catelyn’s gratitude vanished within seconds.


    Cedrick stared at her battered, dirt-covered feet. Her toes were curled up, and traces of dried blood were


    seen in between her toenails, along with specks of sand and dirt.


    Catelyn felt him observing her feet and rubbed her feet together in an attempt to rub the dirty leaves and


    dirt off.


    He put his arm behind her back and thighs and hoisted her up in an instant.


    Catelyn’s lips parted slightly as she hesitated for a brief moment before looping her arms behind his neck


    and nuzzling into his chest as if she was showing him affection.


    It was truly not her intention to drop the pendant…and she never expected that the man Cedrick


    despised would be the one to pick it up.


    On the way back to the city, Winnie sat in the backseat with Catelyn while Cedrick drove the car.


    He drove steadily, looking at the person in the backseat through the mirror from time to time.

    “There’s a nket at the back,” uttered Cedrick.


    Winnieughed to herself faintly. “How forgetful of me.”


    Catelyn’s body’s warmth immediately came back the moment she was covered in it. She grabbed onto


    her nket and smiled at Winnie.


    She did not expect Winnie toe along to the rescue.


    “How’s Javier? Is he okay?” asked Catelyn, concerned, since she had not seen Javier.


    The moment Javier saw Catelyn fall into Cedrick’s arms, he immediately sneaked into Eason’s car, too


    ashamed to face Catelyn.


    Cedrick’s lips pursed tightly together without answering her. He seemed to still be angry at her.


    Winnie smiled at Catelyn apologetically and said, “Javier probably felt too ashamed to face you and


    followed the other’s car back.”


    “Saving one person out of two was the best option in that scenario. He didn’t have to feel


    sorry or anything.” Catelyn’s longshes batted slightly, repressing her fear when thinking back about


    what happened. “If it’s not for him, you guys wouldn’t have found me so quickly…” “Do you have any


    injuries on you? Should we go to the hospital?”


    Cedrick looked at Catelyn upon hearing that question.


    She felt everyone looking at her and quickly said, “There’s no need. They didn’t really do anything to me.


    All I have are some minor cuts on my feet, so I’ll just put some medicine on when I’m home.”


    “Really?” Winnie sounded suspicious. “I heard from Javier that they came for the City Center project.


    Why would they let you off without getting any information?”


    Catelyn turned stiff at this.


    Cedrick’s eyes darkened. The air seemed to have frozen over, and all fell silent for a moment She had


    asked herself the same question….but she did not have an answer to it.


    The man was saying how ‘useless’ she was. and she thought they would kill her. She did not expect to


    be released without having to say anything.


    yet I kept my silence, so… Either they truly did believe me, or they realized that they’ve gotten the wrong


    person. Maybe they just didn’t want to risk getting caught for murder.” Winnie stretched her lips as she


    exchanged a gaze with Cedrick, and neither of them said anything That answer sure sounded ridiculous.
