Just then, Cedrick’s action was stopped by the sound of his phone beeping.
When he saw the display on the screen, he scowled.
Catelyn waited in front of the men’s toilet, but Cedrick had yet to come out with her son yet. She paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously when suddenly, she saw men exiting the bathroom, one after another. A few seconds later, Cedrick appeared before her as well.
Cedrick took the maintenance board and placed it before the men’s room. “Miles is in there, but he won’t come out. Maybe his stomach is upset, but he’s scared of seeing the doctor. I’ve cleared the bathroom out, so you can go in and wait,” he said with a scowl.
Catelyn sighed a breath of relief and looked at Cedrick with gratitude. “Thank you, but what are you—”
“My son fell off the stairs, so I need to head back right now,” Cedrick explained swiftly and left without hesitation.
She was stunned for a moment and began worrying when she imagined Ollie falling off the stairs. She wanted to ask more about what happened, but Cedrick had already left, so she could only hurry inside to look for her son.
Catelyn was worried that her son was truly having an upset stomach as Cedrick had mentioned, but she went inside to find a small head poking out of the gap of the door,
glancing around in confusion.
When Ollie realized that there was no one around, he sighed a long breath of relief. “Darling?” Catelyn ran over and squatted before him before reaching her palm to rub his belly. “Does your stomach still hurt? I’ve paid the hospital bills, so let’s go to the doctor and have him examine you once again.”
Ollie pursed his lips and refused to go out. “Where is that man from earlier?”

Ollie’s jaw dropped at her explanation.
He had sent out an emergency message to Miles, asking that he make Cedrick go away, but he did not expect Miles to make such a dramatic joke. However, this was perhaps the only thing that could convince Cedrick to leave.
Ollie scratched his head and took Catelyn’s hand. “My belly doesn’t hurt anymore, Mommy. I don’t need the doctor to check on me, so let’s just take the medicine and go home.”
if Cedrick realized that Miles was lying to him and headed back to the hospital, it would be the end for Ollie.
However, Catelyn refused his request and insisted that he get a full body check-up.
Meanwhile, Cedrick noticed something as soon as he left the second floor, pausing before calling Alfred
“Master Cedrick?” Alfred answered the call respectfully. “Do you need anything?”.
“How is the boy?” He cut to the chase.
Alfred had thought that Cedrick was asking about his son’s progress with his homework and complemented excitedly, “The young master has been doing great today! The tutor said that he was hard-working and didn’t act out at all.”
“He didn’t break his leg?” Cedrick’s tone became colder by the moment.
“B-Break his leg?” Alfred tightened his grip around the phone and immediately abandoned what he was doing to run toward the study on the second floor. “When did the young master break his leg? Hasn’t he been reading in the study this whole time?” “Go check and see what he’s doing right now,” Cedrick commanded coldly as his expression darkened
In Mason Estate, Alfred darted into the study on the second floor, feeling as though his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
