Chapter 891

It was a cold, snowy day, so much so that Cedrick's coat was not warm enough. Catelyn, however, seemed to have found the strength to stabilize herself.

Gazing at Cedrick with bloodshot eyes, she asked anxiously, "Did I just...kill someone? Are the two kidnappers dead? I... I killed someone..."

Cedrick glanced at the two bloodied kidnappers lying motionless on the ground.

Eason immediately stepped forward to check their breaths.

Among them, the one who had the gun was indeed dead, but the other was just passed out.

He decisively shook his head at Catelyn. 'They're still alive, Mistress Catelyn. Please don't blame yourself. They're all vicious criminals; you'd still be in the right even if you killed them."

"Are they?" Catelyn asked warily.

She then recalled what had happened. One of the kidnappers rushed over to grab the gun a few moments ago, and she had only one thought in her head at that very moment.

She must not let them snatch the gun back.

Panicked as she was, she pulled the trigger.

Even though she was safe in Cedrick's arms, she still felt endless dread.

"Yes, they are." Cedrick gently pressed her head against his chest, preventing her from seeing the aftermath and furious nuances in his eyes.

"They lost their consciousness. Relax, you didn't kill anyone, darling," he gently spoke. "Don't overthink it. I'll take you back to the car first. It's too cold here."

"Ugh..."

Catelyn finally got to ease her mind at that moment. She wrapped her arms around Cedrick's neck, allowing him to carry her.

Cedrick gently stretched his arms under Catelyn's neck and knees, lifting her, though feeling disturbed.

Only then did Eason dare to go into the warehouse with the other bodyguards.

Alfred, too, lost too much blood and fell unconscious. Fortunately, there was a doctor in Eason's team who could give Alfred first aid.

Still, Alfred had to be sent back to the hospital immediately.

With such a serious injury, the doctor estimated that it will be difficult for him to recover within a month.

As for the surviving kidnapper, Eason was clear about what Cedrick wanted for him: death.

Cedrick carried Catelyn into the car and gently opened the hem of her clothes to check the bruises on her body. The bruises varied as there were cuts, bruises caused by hits, and some scratches.

Cedrick's eyes became colder.

He admitted that he had overlooked Eugene.

Initially, he thought Eugene was planning to frame Catelyn to get her proportion of the Atherton assets, yet he never expected Eugene to kidnap Catelyn.

Eugene had totally pissed him off, and he deserved death.

The backseats of Cedrick's car were separated from the front seats by a metal plate, so Eason could not see what happened to the two people in the back seat, but based on his familiarity with Master Cedrick, he knew he was thoroughly irritated.

'May God bless you, Eugene.' Eason shook his head.

Unanticipatedly, Eason received a phone call, and his expression turned flustered.

After hesitating for a while, he firmly knocked on the metal plate and said," Young Master, we've found the whereabouts of the Second Master, but the troublesome thing is that he held Old Lady Atherton hostage and is now on ss Imperial-"

"What?" Catelyn was leaning against Cedrick's chest weakly. Hearing the news, she sat up abruptly and shouted, "He got Grandma, too?! Take me to him immediately...!"
