Chapter 765
'Had someone instructed Quinn and strung her along in an evil plan? 1
Catelyn was troubled by these thoughts as she, not long after, fell asleep as she leaned on the couch. As soon as
she closed her eyes, and before she could fall into rapid-eyes-movement, the scene of Stella being rammed by
Cedrickkept reappearing in her head, and she was awakened by that, covered in sweat.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and wanted to pour herself a glass of water.
The table where the kettle was usually placed was in a mess. The lid of the was on the floor, too, and the
decorations on the table topped.
It seemed as though a scuffle had occurred.
Catelyn leaned over to pick up the lid of the kettle but was almost pierced by a sharp object.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe frowned, and upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a sharp needle. A green liquid is faintly visible at
the tip of the needle.
'What's this? 1 Catelyn took a clean tissue paper and wrapped the broken needle. With innumerable questions in her
heart, she went out and handed the needle to the nearest laboratory for testing.
It was late in the night, so the laboratory technician informed her that she would only get the report in three days.
Catelyn thanked him profusely before leaving the laboratory in worry.
Wandering around in the chilling street, she took her phone out from time to time to check, but Cedrick had neither
called her back nor replied to her text on social media.
'What's he doing? why didn't he answer the phone? He...can't be the one that ran into Stella, right?'
It was already the second afternoon when Cedrick returned to Green Islands.
He was entirely exhausted, more so evident with the eyebags he had.
His cell phone was turned off as it ran out of power. After charging it in the car, he noticed a lot of missed calls had
come from Catelyn.
Those calls were made between yesterday afternoon and the early morning of that day.
Cedrick parked the car in the underground garage, frowned slightly, and called Catelyn as he worried that
something had gone wrong.
While on the phone, he was walking to an elevator.
He had not changed his clothes for almost a day and a night, and he could not stand it because he was a little
obsessed with cleanliness.
However, a familiar bell rang in a corner of the underground garage. It was the exclusive ringtone that was set by
Catelyn for him.
Cedrick subconsciously walked toward the source of the bell and found a slender figure leaning against the white
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwall, seemingly asleep.
He finally eased his troubled mind and walked over silently.
Catelyn put her hands on her knees and buried her head in her knees, she did not fall asleep as she woke up the
moment Cedrick bent down to carry her.
"Why did you fall asleep here?" Seeing her waking up, Cedrick asked with a hint of accountability in his tone.
Catelyn raised her head to meet his eyes with hers. The masculine body scent of his, accompanied by the faint
smell of disinfectant, lingered in her nostrils, and the most sensitive nerve in her brain suddenly grew taut.
'The smell of disinfectant? Has he been to the hospital? Is it to visit Stella, or...'
She managed to put away all her doubts after a long while, and stood up against the wall. "You didn't come back
last night, so I'm waiting for you."
Squatting for too long had weakened her muscles and hindered the blood flow to her legs, and she could not help
falling back to the ground the moment she stood up.
Cedrick immediately took her hand, clasped her waist with the other, and brought her into his arms.
This was how he noticed that her body and palms were extremely cold as if she had stayed there all night.
That realization made Cedrick’s nerves tense again.
