Chapter 496

Catelyn was already by the door when she heard Cedrick's sharp gasp, so she stopped. She wanted to call the doctor inside but turned to find him sitting by the bed, his features twisted in pain. "Are you okay?" Catelyn asked.

Cedrick's lips turned pale as a layer of sweat formed on his forehead. He swayed slightly and looked as though he was about to pass out.

Realizing that he was not faking it, she disregarded all other thoughts and hurried over to him. "I told you not to move around so much! The wound-mph!"

Just as she reached out to steady Cedrick, he wrapped his arms around her waist abruptly so she would fall into his arms and land on his lap. He propped his chin on her shoulder and tilted his head to the side as he muttered, flustered, "You liar."

Catelyn was stunned by his tone and had stopped struggling. Since he was holding her from behind, she had to look at him from the corner of her eyes while clenching her jaw. "Didn't you just lie to me as well?"

Cedrick hesitated and reasoned, "You wouldn't have turned if I didn't. This is the only way to get you to sit quietly in my arms.

"You lied to me, and I lied to you. We're even now."

"Dream on."

Cedrick instantly lost the fragile demeanor and became dominating again. "You've been lying to me for the past two weeks, and I just saved your life. Do you really think we're even now? I didn't come to Franche from Sapphire City to get even with you..."

Catelyn retorted uncomfortably, "You've been torturing me since you came to Franche, so I wouldn't say that we're even, either."

Cedrick stared at her lips as they moved. His expression darkened as he lowered his head to seal her mouth with his.

If she did not have anything nice to say, why did he bother listening at all? He might as well stop her from saying anything.

Alex sent the twins home and turned back to the hospital to check on Cedrick anxiously, only to be chased outside by the doctor.

The door was shut, and no one knew what was happening inside.

Alex paled and thought to himself, 'Master Cedrick is severely injured, and Miss Clark must be hurt as well! Why won't they let the doctor in?'

He went to ask the doctor and quieted down when he was told that Catelyn was not pregnant. He hurried back to the room and knocked on the door, despite the mounting pressure he felt.

"Master Cedrick, even if Miss Clark isn't pregnant, she's probably still badly shaken after that neon board nearly hit her. Leave her be! The doctor is waiting outside the door, so why don't you two talk after the doctor treats you? The young masters are still waiting for you at home..."

Creak!

Alex's knocking motion stopped as he quieted down when he saw Catelyn opening the door.

"Come inside. He's passed out," she said to the few people standing outside the door, all the while ducking her head as though she was hiding something

The doctors rushed inside to check on Cedrick.

Still worried, Alex leaned over to Catelyn and asked, "Miss Clark, did Master Cedrick...do anything to you?"

He was not sure what was on Cedrick's mind, but Alex was certain that it took Cedrick every last ounce of tolerance to accept Catelyn's pregnancy and to decide to raise George's child. Since that was revealed to be a lie, Alex was concerned that Cedrick would kill Catelyn.
