Chapter 159 “You…” Catelyn, flustered and annoyed altogether, folded her arms at her chest
defensively.” Don’t touch me.”
Cedrick admired her flustered expression from a distance. He had not slept so soundly for a long while.
“Nothing happened between us last night!” Catelyn sputtered, subconsciously raising her voice when she
did, as though nothing happened between them if she did.
Cedrick was about to say something but decided not to.
He wanted to tell Catelyn what happened that night, but seeing her in such a state…
He looked displeased. “Well, if nothing happened, what did?” Catelyn subconsciously held the blanket

see these?” Cedrick pointed at his muscular chest. “These long marks are all your masterpieces.” “I
didn’t…” Catelyn was flustered. Her face became tinted with pink as she muttered, her long lashes
fluttering, “I don’t remember anything! Even if anything happened, it was you taking advantage of the
situation.” Cedrick used his long fingers to lift her chin. “Are you sure I took advantage of you, and not

After a long while, she finally said, “I- I would like to take a bath, but I’m feeling weak. Can you…please

She felt utterly caught up with conflict. After all, Cedrick and her had once more crossed the lines. She
could, however, not blame it on Cedrick. After all, if he was not there to save her…
Catelyn deliberately took a detour. Spotting a pharmacy, she went in to purchase some morning-after
pills.
The pharmacist was rather indifferent about it, thankfully. She even told her that the convenience store
across the road provided free drinking water. “Thank you,” replied Catelyn and left after purchasing the
pills and water. She then went to the park and sat on the long bench. Perhaps she was too tired, or
maybe it was the side-effect from the spiked wine, but Catelyn felt utterly worn out. She screwed the
mineral water bottle open and was about to take the pill when out of the blue, a car with a familiar plate
number came into view, stopping at the traffic light.
