Chapter 450
They had arrived at the hospital by the time Catelyn woke up.
Cedrick did not carry her, of course, out of concern that he would tear her wound on the back. Instead, he woke her up so she could walk into the hospital on her own.
It was late into the night, and Cedrick stormed into the doctor’s office.
As not many doctors were on the night shift, there were long lines outside every office with nurses monitoring the patients, so Cedrick’s action triggered a wave of complaints, especially with his drenched appearance as water was dripping off the tips of his hair.
The nurse beamed at Cedrick’s handsome features but stopped them dutifully. “Sir, please line up. We have a lot of patients waiting here.”

“Move,” he uttered coldly.
“Cedrick…” Catelyn noticed the other patients staring daggers at them and pulled at his clothes, despite the pain. “Don’t. Let’s just line up.”
“You don’t get to speak,” he said before turning back to the nurse. “I’m buying this hospital. Treat her wound for her, now!”
Catelyn could hear the others gasping and flushed in embarrassment.
The admiration in the nurse’s eyes quickly transformed into pity as she thought to herself, ‘Tsk! He seems too handsome to be a dimwit. What a shame!
Catelyn could not bear it any longer and dragged Cedrick toward the end of the line. “I’m sorry. We’ll go line up.”
“Why are you lining up?” He stopped her and quickly fished out his phone, intending to actually purchase the hospital.
She could feel her cheeks burning as she grabbed his hand to stop him. “Stop it already!”
The wound on her back pounded as she moved. Her lashes trembled, and her voice sounded muffled, so it almost sounded as though she was pleading.
Cedrick looked into her eyes and, in the end, gave up.
He helped her to the bench outside the office and said, “I’ll go get a number.”
“Sure.” Seeing the way he hurried to head to the counter, she pursed her lips and added, “It’s not as bad as you think it is, so there’s no need to hurry.”
Cedrick did not pause, so she did not know if he had heard her. She stared as he disappeared into the distance dazedly.
She had always wanted someone to be there for her through the pain and sorrow, but when that someone was Cedrick, everything seemed so unreal.
Cedrick returned once he had the queue number and waited outside the office with Catelyn.

The two did not speak for a while and simply sat as time ticked by. Sometime later, Catelyn still had not gotten her turn as a patient was taking his time with the doctor ahead.
Cedrick searched for patience but stood abruptly when he caught sight of how pale Catelyn looked.
Catelyn thought he was going to buy the hospital like he had claimed earlier and asked, “What are you doing?”
Cedrick did not respond and simply took out a thick pile of dollar bills before barging into the doctor’s office and slamming it toward the young patient’s face.
“My girlfriend is hurt, and your wound doesn’t seem all that severe. I want to buy your queue number. Is this enough?”
The patient gaped at him and turned to look at Catelyn through the glass window. “Yeah, yeah.” The man’s wound was not severe to begin with and thus left with the money giddily.
