Chapter 498


    Chapter 498


    Since Cedrick’s injury concerned only his arm, he did not bother putting his jacket on. With a thickyer


    of bandage wrapped around his arm, his tanned skin glittered under the light. His brooding features


    were filled with rage as he pursed his lips.


    “Don’t move around! The wound is going to tear, and the doctor will have toe to fix you up again.”


    Catelyn’s hands were still wet from washing her hands, and because he was half-naked, she did not


    approach him and simply reminded him from afar.


    Cedrick’s head snapped up when he heard her voice. He extended his left arm in an inviting manner


    and said, “Come here.”


    Catelyn pursed her lips as she tried to actposed. “Your wound is hurting again, right? I told you not


    to move around…”


    “Are youing here, or do I need to go over there to grab you?” spoke Cedrick expressionlessly.


    Catelyn did want to find a nurse, but he refused to set his arm down. Seeing how pale he seemed, she


    caved in the end and walked toward him. “I’ll just have a look at your wound for y-ah!”


    Before she could finish her sentence, he wrapped his arm around her waist.


    “Cedrick Mason! What are you doing? Let me go!” Worried that his wound would tear again, she did not


    dare struggle and simply kicked her leg in frustration while being pinned against the bed, hoping


    desperately that she could find somewhere to hide.


    Cedrick, too, fell back against the bed without any concern for his injury to meet her eyes. “Lie to me


    about this sort of thing again, and I’ll hit you.”


    His musky scent enveloped her. She shivered and grew more agitated at his righteous tone. She


    clenched her fists and started swinging them. Since his wound was on the arm, her fistsnded on his


    nose and corbone.


    Cedrick was not at all bothered or pained. On the contrary, Catelyn’s back began hurting, and her


    punches started to lose strength. Sheid on the bed, breathing heavily, while Cedrick seized the


    chance to inch in closer and pressed his forehead against hers. “Your lies had me acting so pathetic


    the entire time. Spanking you would be considered a mild punishment. Don’t you dare do that again.”


    Rendered speechless, she scratched her head. She wanted to mention that she had used his card for


    the hospital bill, but not only had she given up on mentioning that, she regretted not maxing out the


    card altogether.


    Alex came back with lunch just in time to break the awkward atmosphere between the two.


    Catelyn made up an excuse to escape and left the hospital. She nced at the building behind her


    before leaving, her heart and mind twisted in a mess, knowing that she would lose her stance if this


    continued.


    Alex had ordered take-out from a five-star hotel. He pulled out the table andid out the dishes, one by


    one. There were a total of five to six dishes, all ordered in ordance with Cedrick’s preference for a


    milder vor.

    “Master Cedrick, you might experience some inconvenience if you eat with your left hand. Should I go


    find a nurse-”


    ‘To feed you?


    That was what Alex wanted to say, but he stilled at the sudden drop of temperature in the room when


    he received an icy re from Cedrick. He quieted down at the realization that Cedrick would only be


    willing


    to show his vulnerability in front of Catelyn.


    Cedrick sat on the side of the bed and held the spoon with his left hand. Though not as agile as his


    right hand, it did not affect his motion or his elegant demeanor.


    Alex watched in awe.


    When Cedrick noticed that he was still standing there, he muttered, “Do you have something to say?”


    Alex snapped out of his mini trance and said, “Master Cedrick, I’ve looked into what happened. “The


    board didn’t fall on its own. Someone loosened the screws ahead of time.”
