    Chapter 864


    Ezekiel smiled and waved his hand to Catelyn and Cedrick, gesturing to them that he could go by himself.


    Cedrick frowned. ''Am I that scary?''


    His eyes met Catelyn’s, and she shrugged helplessly.


    Ste burst into tears when she saw Ezekiel. She cried so woefully as she held him tight, not wanting to lose him again.


    Catelyn, who was outside the ward with Cedrick, would asionally wipe her tears.


    With Cedrick around, however, Ste and Ezekiel were restrained from expressing their true feelings, hence their awkward behavior soon


    after. They both seemed afraid of Cedrick.


    Perhaps that was because Catelyn did not have a chance to exin to Ste that the one who injured her was someone else.


    Cedrick suddenly handed her a key.


    The shape of the key was familiar to Catelyn.


    "What''s this?"


    "The key to rk Mansion." Cedrick exined sinctly, "I was thinking about where Ezekiel could


    live when he came back, and after thinking


    about it for a long time, he won’t be at peace in the Atherton Manor or the Mason Estate all the time.


    So, the ce that is full of your childhood memories came to my mind, and I bought it without


    hesitation."


    Catelyn sped a hand over her mouth in shock. Ignoring the presence of the two children, she quickly


    kissed him on the lips.


    "Oh, honey, you''re so endearing. Wasn''t it auctioned by the court four years ago? You must''ve spent a


    lot to buy it, didn’t you?"


    "I raised the price for the owner, so they have no reason not to sell it to me, '' Cedrick said with a hint of


    male chauvinism, enjoying Catelyn''s affectionate approach.


    The depression of being despised by Ezekiel also disappeared in his mind.


    "I was also thinking about this before. I just reunited with my grandma and took my two children to live


    with her in Atherton Manor. It''s impossible to live in my grandmother''s house for a long time because


    it''s not fair to the other juniors of the Atherton family. I didn''t expect you would buy the rk Mansion


    back for us!"


    Cedrick suddenly changed his tone and said with displeasure, "Are you going to move the two children


    to the rk Mansion?"


    He thought she would go back to the Mason Estate with him after all of that.


    "That''s thest n." Catelyn raised her eyes and said with seriousness,'' Grandma''s hatred of the


    Mason family is still strong. If she insists on US breaking up, I''ll find an excuse to move in with my


    father, and we''ll then find another way to be together. She''s old, and the Atherton family isn''t


    harmonious. I don''t want to be too harsh to stimte her. Of course, the best thing is to change my


    grandmother''s mindset.”


    Cedrick was pleased when he learned that Catelyn cared about their future and was actually working


    toward it.


    He would solve every other problem for her as long as she stood by his side and supported him.


    He then pulled her into his arms and gave a gentle, warm kiss on her cold forehead.


    Catelyn’s heartbeat was elerated by such sudden surprise. She wound an arm around his neck and hugged him tightly, cherishing the


    kiss with all her heart.


    Cedrick investigated the origin of the gic illness. It was a curse that Draco had sought for himself and his descendants.


    Many years ago, Draco cheated on Sylvie andter abandoned her for another woman. However, when he found out that the woman he


    cheated


    on Sylvie for had taken part in a scandal that was targeting the Smith family, Draco decided to make a clean break with that woman and


    marry the daughter whom his family sought.


    Unexpectedly, the woman poisoned Draco due to hatred of his betrayal, but at that time, things did not go as she nned. Draco failed to eat


    the poisonous food, instead, his sons ate it by mistake, and the poison has been passed down the lineage from his son''s generation since


    then.


    It was not until Cedrick''s generation, the third generation, that the Mason family had barely obtained restraint drugs for the inherited disease.


    Recently, however, there had been signs of a rebound effect due to disease mutation.


    That was why, in the lineage of Draco, Cedrick was his only grandson left.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
