Chapter 75
He wondered if Cedrick doubted what he said.
Mr. Denson wiped the sweat off his round forehead. “Master Cedrick, I don’t have the guts to lie to you. That is all I know. Even though Lola is only part of the extended family of the Athertons, Granny Atherton is quite fond of her…”
Lola Atherton?
Cedrick pondered upon the name, intrigued. He turned to look at Catelyn. “Didn’t you tell her that it was me who saved you?”
Catelyn had goosebumps from the looks he gave her. She knew Lola would be screwed soon.” The more badly she wanted to know about this, the more unwilling I was to tell her about it.”
Cedrick closed his eyes briefly, and bloodlust flashed in his eyes when he opened them again. After a short while, he said coldly, “Don’t worry about it. This was all because of me. I will give you an explanation soon.”
“Don’t worry about it. You saved me a few times before this. It’s okay to be dragged into your mess once in a while.”
Cedrick’s face turned gloomy. She was definitely not a good conversationalist.
Catelyn thought Cedrick only wanted to take care of her for a while and would leave after she woke up.
However, after Mr. Denson left, Cedrick still stayed behind.
She winked at him to signal that he could leave.
However, not only did Cedrick not intend to leave any time soon, he even pulled out a foldable bed, apparently wanting to spend the night at the hospital! “Master Cedrick, you are quite busy with work. You could just get a nurse to take care of me.”
Cedrick spread a clean sheet over the bed and said adamantly, “Ollie wanted me to watch over you. Otherwise, he refused to eat.”
Catelyn sweated with nervousness.
Little Ollie did not seem like a cross child that would randomly throw tantrums.
Catelyn had another idea, “Why don’t you make a move first? The next time I see him, I will tell him you spent the night here.”
“You do not lie as you do.” Cedrick paused briefly in between changing his shoes and said,” Or, you tend not to fulfill promises that you make?”
“I am just worried that you may not be used to staying at the hospital… Well, if you are cool with it, I have nothing else to say.” Catelyn then lay down and pulled her duvet to cover up her head, leaving only the top of her head exposed.
Cedrick laid down on his bed to rest too.
He set the alarm for the changing of the infusion tube and bottle.
The two of them lay quietly in the room just like that. This was, in fact, Catelyn’s first time sleeping in the same room with a man in the past four years. She thought she would not be able to sleep. However, her body was too weak to stay awake, and soon she dozed off. She slept soundly like a baby, somehow feeling secure. After a few hours, she woke up for her biological needs. The clock on the wall pointed to four-thirty in the morning.
She realized her infusion bottle was a new one, and it was still quite full.
She then looked at the man on the side. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
This was a VIP patient’s ward, and the bed was huge. However, Cedrick was so big that he seemed to be curled up on the bed.
Catelyn tiptoed down the bed and did not make any noise.
Cedrick’s hawk eyes suddenly shot open, and he did not look half asleep at all. He looked at Catelyn and said emotionlessly, “What are you doing?” Catelyn’s hand that was about to pull on the infusion bottle stopped mid-air. She blushed and pointed at the restroom. “I was about to use the toilet. Did I wake you?” “I wasn’t sleeping.” Cedrick massaged his temples and walked to her bed.
