Chapter 369
The doctor thus said to Catelyn, “Mister Mason had called to see you, not only to inspect the wound on
your foot but also to see if there are any other injuries on your body. If you don’t mind, please take off
your clothes, and I’ll give you a thorough checkup.”
Listening to the doctor’s words, Catelyn remembered that her back felt rather sore.
“Do you want to take off your clothes?” asked Ollie. “I’ll help you!”
Catelyn was wearing a simple nightdress, which was light and flirtatious. Just as Ollie reached out his
hands, about to undo Catelyn’s belt, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ollie Mason.”
Ollie’s hands froze mid-air when he heard his father calling his name. He looked back and saw Cedrick
walking in.
The man pursed his lips tightly. Without saying a word, he leaned forward and hoisted Ollie into his arms,
and walked out.
“Really? What’s the use of calling a doctor, then?” Cedrick’s harsh words instantly disrupted Ollie’s
thoughts. Cedrick carried him out of the room like a big plush toy in his arms, Ollie leaned on his
shoulders and looked at Catelyn from a distance as they left the room. He could see Catelyn on the bed
in the room, smiling and waving at him, motioning him to follow his father. Ollie fell quiet for a moment.
Children could be sensitive, and he could feel that his father and Catelyn were unhappy again.
Cedrick closed the door as he left Catelyn’s bedroom.
“Why did Aunt Catelyn get hurt?” asked Ollie.
Cedrick did not answer him.
“Father, did you do anything to Aunt Catelyn?” Ollie was unrelenting.
Cedrick carried Ollie to the living room downstairs and shoved him onto the sofa. He turned around, his
back looking extraordinarily tall.
Suddenly, he felt his thighs embraced by two little hands.
Cedrick lowered his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanymore. I don’t want to lose her! I’m begging you-go coax her a little. I really want her to stay…”
It was rare for Ollie to ask anything from Cedrick.
However, Cedrick maintained a cold expression. “Let go.”
“No!” Ollie looked at him stubbornly as if he would lose something if he let go. “Aunt Catelyn is gentle,
considerate, beautiful, sensible… If you lose her, you won’t find a more suitable wife
ever again!”
Cedrick merely sneered in response. He grabbed Ollie’s hands, trying to break his grip on his legs, but
Ollie hugged him back even more tightly.
For some reason, he felt disconcerted. Somehow, he had a gut feeling that if he released his grip on
Cedrick at this very second, he would lose Catelyn forever! Alas, how could Ollie fight him? He was just
a child.
