Chapter 77 Cedrick pushed the door open, and the door slammed against the wall behind it, creating a loud noise. Catelyn looked up in shock and saw Cedrick striding toward her. He stood in front of her and looked at her from above as though judging her. Catelyn pursed her lips, and her face started to blush. She wished to just disappear into thin air. Cedrick frowned and kneeled down. He had not expected Catelyn to have slipped and fell and reprimanded her, “Catelyn, how old are you? Why didn’t you tell me as soon as you fell?”
Catelyn did not know how to react and kept quiet. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Cedrick was relieved to see no sign of blood flowing in reverse in the infusion tube. He then reached his big palm out toward Catelyn’s waist.
“Where did you sprain yourself?” “…I am not sure,” Catelyn muttered. Cedrick moved his palm along Catelyn’s back. “Here or here?” “Stop! Stop! It hurts…” When he reached three inches above her butt, Catelyn could not resist but let out a soft whimper. She even felt like turning over to stop him if she could.
“You… Get out, please! I don’t need your help.”
Cedrick bowed and lifted her up, carrying her horizontal in his arms, and avoided her injured waist and butt area. His lips curved upward slightly as though giving a half-smile. “What is there to hide?”
Scenes of the chaos at the hotel flashed before Catelyn’s eyes. She wished to bang her head on the wall. How could she have done that?
He had a fiancee.
She secretly observed him a few times after they met, but he always acted as though nothing had happened. Naturally, she suppressed her urge to talk about the incident. However, she did not expect him to remember it and even brought it up!
“It was a misunderstanding! We can pretend that this never happened, and we should not talk about this again.” She could never let herself become a third-wheeler in their relationship.
Cedrick’s face turned gloomy again upon hearing this. “So you really want to draw the line in between us?” Most girls would have already swooned just by hearing the name Cedrick Mason. On the other hand, she was luring him while simultaneously pretending to be innocent and demure and unintentional..
“You have a fiancee. You would not want to cheat on her, do you?”
Cedrick felt speechless for a moment. Since Catelyn’s waist was sprained, he could only place
her on the bed on her belly.
Catelyn’s body was cold after lying on the ground for some time.
Cedrick then poured a glass of warm water for her. “Drink this. You’re cold.”
“No, I’m good, thank you.”
Cedrick tried to be patient. “You have not fully recovered from your cold. You don’t want to worsen it. Finish this.”
Catelyn knew he was concerned about her but pretended not to hear it. She tilted her head and did not respond.
Cedrick looked serious. “Are you sure you don’t want this?” Catelyn decided to shut her eyes immediately, pretending to be dead.
