Chapter 1058
Catelyn saw the man pushing Janice down the stairs! She saw an afterimage that suddenly pushed her aunt down the stairs!
She desperately tried to recall the man's face, but he was too far away for her to get a good look at him.
Furthermore, the man kept his head down as he fled, and Catelyn only managed to see the clothes he was wearing.
He wore dark-colored clothes with no distinctive features.
Suddenly, she recalled the man's cuff. Perhaps there was some physical confrontation with Janice beforehand. The inner lining of the cuffs was turned inside out, revealing the intricate letter patterns embroidered on it.
N&L.
This pattern was magnified in Catelyn's memory, and she started sweating.
That was the style she customized exclusively for Ezekiel to wear for the wedding!
Could he be the one who pushed Janice down the stairs?
It cannot be...
Ezekiel did not even know Janice...
Catelyn suddenly felt a little uneasy. She felt a chill approaching, accompanied by the sound of small footsteps.
Although the footsteps were very faint, they instantly woke Catelyn up.
The lights were not turned on in the room, and she could not see her fingers. She saw a tall figure standing near the window. Although she could not recognize his facial features, he had a very familiar aura!
It was Cedrick!
Catelyn found the remote control on the sofa and turned on the lights.
The entire bedroom was lit up, and the sudden blast of light made Catelyn squint her eyes. She looked at Cedrick. "You are back?"
Cedrick stared at Catelyn for a while. Suddenly, he walked over quickly, stretched out his hands, and pulled Catelyn into his arms.
Catelyn was stunned for a while. She then raised her hands to hug him back and sniffed the cool scent of disinfectant on his body. "You didn't answer your phone, and I was very worried about you. How is Aunt Janice's operation? Did the doctor say anything?"
’The operation is done, but she's still very weak. The doctor said that the next twelve hours would be very critical," replied Cedrick.
He rested his chin on her shoulder, and his tone became more and more serious. "Perhaps, she will be gone by tomorrow morning."
"No!" Catelyn's heart skipped a beat. If that were to happen, she would also be losing someone very dear to her.
Despite understanding Cedrick's pain and grief, there was nothing she could do but be there to comfort him.
"Aunt Janice is a good person. God will not take her away cruelly," said Catelyn.
"I don't know what I will do if she's gone. Catelyn, promise me that you'll always be by my side," said Cedrick.
It was unusual to see Cedrick this vulnerable. He pressed his fingers on Catelyn's skin as he lowered his eyes and stared at her.
She smelled his hot breath and nodded with a sob. She reached out to hold his face. "Yes, I will be by your side. We will go through this together. I'm sure Aunt Janice wouldn't want to see you like this. If you are worried for her, I will accompany you to watch over her at the hospital, okay?"
