    Time froze as Catelyn stared at him in awe.


    Cedrick was right next to her.


    She profusely blinked, struggling to believe what she saw.


    Cedrick was observing her closely at the same time, and when their eyes met, Catelyn felt a little prick on her chest and looked


    away frantically.


    Once he was certain that she would not scream, he slowly let go.


    Her hands and her body were cold, so he swiftly moved to take off his jacket and ced it over her shoulders. He rubbed her dirt-


    stained cheek endearingly before lowering his head to kiss her on her lips, the tip of her nose, her eyes, and her temples. His lips


    moved across her face as his heart finally settled down from concern.


    Catelyn, meanwhile, was still mentally caught up by the dangerous situation she was in and Cedrick''s sudden appearance, so


    she could not react in time to push him away.


    A storm gathered, and shadows loomed over the forest.


    The kidnappers followed Catelyn''s trail to the edge of the cliff and stopped.


    "There’s no way from here, so that woman has to be somewhere around here. She wouldn''t get far."


    "If Bosses back and finds out that the woman made a run for it, we’re going to be punished!"


    "Look at that wall over there..." One of the men pointed at the stone wall.


    The two gave each other a look before tip-toeing toward the wall. As they approached, both confident


    that Catelyn was hiding there, they started making devilish jokes about how they would make her beg


    for her life once they caught her.


    Catelyn subconsciously reached down to her trousers behind the pile of hay next to the wall.


    One of her pant legs was torn, and the way those men looked at her at the time was appalling.


    Cedrick noticed Catelyn''s reaction and nced at the slim leg that was exposed in the air, his eyes


    glittering with malicious rage.


    "Hide yourself properly, and don''te out," he reminded.


    He turned into a sh of shadow before her eyes in the next instant as he darted out like a blood-thirsty


    beast. Before the kidnappers could react, he had already knocked them down in swift and lethal


    movements.


    One of the kidnappers hit the back of his head at the tree nearby and lost consciousness; the other was


    covering his head on the ground in pain.


    Cedrick stood tall like an unmoving mountain that was capable of fending off anything. "It''s done," he called out to Catelyn, "you


    cane out."


    Catelyn bit her lower lip and stumbled outside while holding onto his jacket tightly.


    It was at that moment that Cedrick finally saw how difited she appeared.


    Her fair face was covered in dirt and leaves, her trousers were torn on the right leg, and there were scratches from twigs on her


    legs and hands.


    His heart sank as he regretted not finding her sooner. He hurried over to help her up, but Catelyn simply reached her hands up to


    grab onto the cor of the jacket to avoid his touch.


    She kept her head bowed, not daring to meet his eyes.


    Her mind was tangled in a mess. One moment, she was in hell, and the next, she felt as though she was in heaven and could not


    contain her emotions.


    She walked over to the kidnapper and kicked at him. "Who hired you? Why did you kidnap me?"
