Chapter 368 Catelyn could feel someone watching her in her sleep, perhaps even kissing her. However,
all she saw when she woke up was Ollie.
It was just a dream after all. “Mommy’s foot was injured, and your father is afraid of hurting me,” said
Catelyn to Ollie.
Hearing these words, Ollie scurried around with her, trying to lift her quilt. He did so cautiously, however,
fearing that a slight wrong move would make Catelyn’s wounds worse.
Catelyn quickly stopped the boy and pulled him to her. “It’s not that serious, don’t worry! It’s just… Ollie,
have you considered what I’ve told you?”

Solemnly, earnestly, he said, “I want everyone to stay here with me.”
Catelyn looked at Ollie. He had always been a sensible boy and never demanded more from her.
This request, however, was something Catelyn could not fulfill. Moreover, she also did not want to be
entangled in the Mason family’s mess anymore. “I’m sorry.” Catelyn closed her eyes, and imperceptible
wetness flashed across her eyes. Ollie pursed his mouth tightly, probably knowing that this request was
too demanding. After some thought, he finally shook his head. “You don’t have to apologize, because…
it’s me. I have to stay. “I’m sorry, Mommy, but I can’t go with you. I’m not staying for the Mason family’s
wealth. Daddy will be alone after you all left, and I’m sure he’ll be lonely.”
Catelyn lowered her head and kissed Ollie’s forehead affectionately. She rested her chin on the top of his
head, hugging him tightly. She had repeatedly thought about Ollie giving her such an answer
beforehand. With him saying it, she was not surprised at all. Catelyn knew Ollie could take care of
himself. Even with such an answer, there was a more important reason behind this. If Catelyn had taken
Ollie away as well, Cedrick would never let her leave. He would probably have the entire city searched to
hunt them down, and she and Miles would never be able to escape.
Ollie snuggled against Catelyn’s arms, and the twinkle in his eyes vanished as his grip on Catelyn
became a little tighter.
‘I’m sorry, Mommy, but I lied to you. What I want is. If I stay, you stay, too.

“Miss Clark, I’m the doctor that Mister Mason called to treat your wound. May I come in?”
asked the female doctor respectfully.
The wound on Catelyn’s back was not serious at first, and she did not get any medication the night
before. Throughout the night, some of the small incisions had scabbed over, and only some deep
scratches were more obvious. Still, Catelyn did not expect Cedrick to call a doctor for her.
“Come in.”
tender. Please be careful while bandaging her, and be sure to not leave any scars.”
The female doctor was stunned for a moment before a smile made its way to her face. “Alright.
She looked at the wound on Catelyn’s foot. To be frank, these wounds were not deep, and they should
not leave any scars.
