Chapter 305 “I’m alright…just a little thirsty.” Catelyn wanted to sit up when a pair of hands pinned her down. The warmth from Cedrick’s hands spread to her shoulder.
“Don’t move. I’ll bring you water.” Catelyn froze in place. She did not want him to notice that she was feeling a certain way. “Okay.” Cedrick turned around to fill a glass with water, and his eyes darkened. ‘What was she thinking of earlier? Why did she look so sad and dazed?’ Cedrick filled the glass up with warm water and took a sip to test the temperature of the water before putting a straw in and pointing it toward Catelyn’s lips. “Open your mouth. Drink up.” Catelyn did not even have to sit up; all she had to do was open her mouth to drink Seeing as Catelyn did not open her mouth, Cedrick raised his brows and asked, “Aren’t you thirsty? Drink” Catelyn felt extremely embarrassed. She just had diarrhea. Why was he treating him like she was a three-year-old child that needed help? “I’d like to sit up.”
“The doctor said that you’re still too weak, so it’s better to rest in bed,” said Cedrick gently as if he was trying to console a child. “Come on now, be good.”
His tone was not threatening at all. If anything, it was endearing.
He had never even been that patient with Ollie before.
Catelyn refused to listen to him. She propped herself up with one arm in an attempt to sit up, but since laxatives were still present in her system, her movements seemed to have triggered something as she felt something growling inside her. Followed by that, an embarrassing sound escaped from her body, breaking the silence of the room. She could not believe it!
Her face flushed red in an instant. She froze in place with her hand still grabbing the comer of the blanket. Cedrick was stunned for a brief moment before reeling to where that sound came from.
He looked at Catelyn.
At first, he was worried that Catelyn might be feeling unwell, but he then noticed how stunned and wide-eyed she was, like a frightened doe.
“Are you done messing around?”
Catelyn wished there was a hole for her to bury herself in. She did not even care about the water at this point as she dug into the blanket.
“I’m not thirsty anymore. Leave me alone!” grumbled Catelyn, though muffled.
