Chapter 610
Similar to Joanne, Catelyn, too, found herself in an embarrassing situation. She was staring at Cedrick in their car.
She realized Cedrick was the same every time he was drunk. One might think he was still conscious judging by his
bright eyes and the way he walked, yet his mind had long been muddled.
Once there was no one, or when he relaxed his tensed nerves, he would return to his drunken state.
At that moment, he had already fallen asleep on her lap as his eyes were tightly closed and his eyebrows relaxed.
Gone was his hostility when he was drunk.
Regardless, he habitually frowned.
Catelyn rubbed the tip of his eyebrows, trying to calm him down, yet that only helped for a few seconds until he
frowned again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn put her white palm against his forehead and murmured, " How could you value your pride over your
health? If you had admitted defeat, all you would've lost was just a game. Are you happy now? Don't you know how
bad it hurts to be drunk?"
Eason was driving the car, sending them back to Mason Estate.
It was almost half past eleven when they arrived, hence the two boys were already fast asleep.
Catelyn and Eason both carried Cedrick to the bedroom Cedrick and Catelyn shared on the second floor.
Catelyn turned her head and instructed Albert, "Grandpa Albert, please make some pick-me-up for Cedrick."
He nodded. "I'll go right away, but why is Master Cedrick drunk like this?"
"He was naive and childish, competing with Mr. Atherton."
The second half of Catelyn's reply caught Albert's attention as he frowned and muttered, "Seems like Mr. Atherton
has been his playful self, but he knows Master Cedrick has been suffering from gastric pain, why did he still
challenge him to drink?"
Catelyn did not explain much and went to the bathroom to take a basin of hot water to wipe off the smell of
tobacco and alcohol on Cedrick's body.
Cedrick, however, was not cooperative in his drunken state, and Catelyn barely got him undressed.
She was panting after she had removed all his clothes, sweating all over her body, and she was so angry that she
wanted to throw a bucket of water on his face to wake him up.
"You look so thin, but you're so heavy! I knew that it wouldn't be an easy task to wipe you."
Catelyn struggled for more than half an hour to finish cleaning his body before she could not move anymore. He
could not drink the pick-me-up either!
Catelyn finally gave up, thinking that he would drink it when he woke up the next morning.
When covering him with a quilt, Catelyn noticed the scars on his body, all of which were injuries he had suffered in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFranche to save her.
It was precisely the scars all over his body that touched her heart. She suddenly leaned over to kiss the gunshot
wound on his right arm.
Cedrick could feel a warm and soft touch on his skin, and his eyelids quivered as he wanted to open them.
He did not drink as much wine as Edwin. Although his headache was hurtful, he was conscious of his surroundings.
However, before he could do anything else, Catelyn had let go of him and went to the bathroom. There was then a
sound of a rush of water coming from the bathroom.
Still, without knowing what was in her mind, he lay back silently in the end.
The next morning, Catelyn was woken up by the urge to use the toilet.
She had drunk a lot of drinks last night too, which discomforted her. Thus, she ran straight to the bathroom after
she had gotten out of bed.
"Why don't you close the door when you use the bathroom?!"
To Catelyn's absolute shock, Cedrick was inside.
He would never get tired of her flustered self, no matter how close they were.
