Chapter 496


    Chapter 496


    Catelyn was already by the door when she heard Cedrick’s sharp gasp, so she stopped. She wanted to


    call the doctor inside but turned to find him sitting by the bed, his features twisted in pain.


    “Are you okay?” Catelyn asked.


    Cedrick’s lips turned pale as ayer of sweat formed on his forehead. He swayed slightly and looked as


    though he was about to pass out.


    Realizing that he was not faking it, she disregarded all other thoughts and hurried over to him. “I told


    you not to move around so much! The wound-mph!”


    Just as she reached out to steady Cedrick, he wrapped his arms around her waist abruptly so she


    would fall into his arms andnd on hisp. He propped his chin on her shoulder and tilted his head to


    the side as he muttered, flustered, “You liar.”


    Catelyn was stunned by his tone and had stopped struggling. Since he was holding her from behind,


    she had to look at him from the corner of her eyes while clenching her jaw. “Didn’t you just lie to me as


    well?”


    Cedrick hesitated and reasoned, “You wouldn’t have turned if I didn’t. This is the only way to get you to


    sit quietly in my arms.


    “You lied to me, and I lied to you. We’re even now.”


    “Dream on.”


    Cedrick instantly lost the fragile demeanor and became dominating again. “You’ve been lying to me for


    the past two weeks, and I just saved your life. Do you really think we’re even now? I didn’te to


    Franche from Sapphire City to get even with you…”


    Catelyn retorted ufortably, “You’ve been torturing me since you came to Franche, so I wouldn’t


    say that we’re even, either.”


    Cedrick stared at her lips as they moved. His expression darkened as he lowered his head to seal her


    mouth with his.

    If she did not have anything nice to say, why did he bother listening at all? He might as well stop her


    from saying anything.


    Alex sent the twins home and turned back to the hospital to check on Cedrick anxiously, only to be


    chased outside by the doctor.


    The door was shut, and no one knew what was happening inside.


    Alex paled and thought to himself, ‘Master Cedrick is severely injured, and Miss rk must be hurt as


    well! Why won’t they let the doctor in?’


    He went to ask the doctor and quieted down when he was told that Catelyn was not pregnant. He


    hurried back to the room and knocked on the door, despite the mounting pressure he felt.


    “Master Cedrick, even if Miss rk isn’t pregnant, she’s probably still badly shaken after that neon


    board nearly hit her. Leave her be! The doctor is waiting outside the door, so why don’t you two talk


    after the doctor treats you? The young masters are still waiting for you at home…”


    Creak!


    Alex’s knocking motion stopped as he quieted down when he saw Catelyn opening the door.


    “Come inside. He’s passed out,” she said to the few people standing outside the door, all the while


    ducking her head as though she was hiding something


    The doctors rushed inside to check on Cedrick.


    Still worried, Alex leaned over to Catelyn and asked, “Miss rk, did Master Cedrick…do anything to


    you?”


    He was not sure what was on Cedrick’s mind, but Alex was certain that it took Cedrick everyst ounce


    of tolerance to ept Catelyn’s pregnancy and to decide to raise George’s child. Since that was


    revealed to be a lie, Alex was concerned that Cedrick would kill Catelyn.
