Chapter 498
Since Cedrick’s injury concerned only his arm, he did not bother putting his jacket on. With a thick layer of bandage
wrapped around his arm, his tanned skin glittered under the light. His brooding features were filled with rage as he
pursed his lips.
“Don’t move around! The wound is going to tear, and the doctor will have to come to fix you up again.” Catelyn’s
hands were still wet from washing her hands, and because he was half-naked, she did not approach him and simply
reminded him from afar.
Cedrick’s head snapped up when he heard her voice. He extended his left arm in an inviting manner and said,
“Come here.”
Catelyn pursed her lips as she tried to act composed. “Your wound is hurting again, right? I told you not to move
around…”

Catelyn did want to find a nurse, but he refused to set his arm down. Seeing how pale he seemed, she caved in the
end and walked toward him. “I’ll just have a look at your wound for y-ah!”
Before she could finish her sentence, he wrapped his arm around her waist.
“Cedrick Mason! What are you doing? Let me go!” Worried that his wound would tear again, she did not dare
struggle and simply kicked her leg in frustration while being pinned against the bed, hoping desperately that she
could find somewhere to hide.
Cedrick, too, fell back against the bed without any concern for his injury to meet her eyes. “Lie to me about this
sort of thing again, and I’ll hit you.”
His musky scent enveloped her. She shivered and grew more agitated at his righteous tone. She clenched her fists
and started swinging them. Since his wound was on the arm, her fists landed on his nose and collarbone.
Cedrick was not at all bothered or pained. On the contrary, Catelyn’s back began hurting, and her punches started
to lose strength. She laid on the bed, breathing heavily, while Cedrick seized the chance to inch in closer and
pressed his forehead against hers. “Your lies had me acting so pathetic the entire time. Spanking you would be
considered a mild punishment. Don’t you dare do that again.”
Rendered speechless, she scratched her head. She wanted to mention that she had used his card for the hospital
bill, but not only had she given up on mentioning that, she regretted not maxing out the card altogether.
Alex came back with lunch just in time to break the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Catelyn made up an excuse to escape and left the hospital. She glanced at the building behind her before leaving,
her heart and mind twisted in a mess, knowing that she would lose her stance if this continued.
Alex had ordered take-out from a five-star hotel. He pulled out the table and laid out the dishes, one by one. There
were a total of five to six dishes, all ordered in accordance with Cedrick’s preference for a milder flavor.
“Master Cedrick, you might experience some inconvenience if you eat with your left hand. Should I go
find a nurse-”

That was what Alex wanted to say, but he stilled at the sudden drop of temperature in the room when he received
an icy glare from Cedrick. He quieted down at the realization that Cedrick would only be willing
to show his vulnerability in front of Catelyn.
Cedrick sat on the side of the bed and held the spoon with his left hand. Though not as agile as his right hand, it did
not affect his motion or his elegant demeanor.
Alex watched in awe.
When Cedrick noticed that he was still standing there, he muttered, “Do you have something to say?”
Alex snapped out of his mini trance and said, “Master Cedrick, I’ve looked into what happened. “The board didn’t
fall on its own. Someone loosened the screws ahead of time.”
