Chapter 451
Cedrick turned toward Catelyn and asked her to go see the doctor,
Catelyn thus walked into the doctor’s room, all while many pairs of eyes were on her. Without much of a choice, she steeled herself and ignored the gazes.
It was a male doctor.
Catelyn lay on her stomach on top of the emergency room’s bed while the doctor asked the routine questions. The doctor was about to check Catelyn’s wound, reaching for her shirt, but Cedrick grabbed his wrist with a frown.
“What are you doing?”
“L…I’m checking her wound.” The doctor froze at how suddenly he was halted and said in frustration, “How am I supposed to look at it without taking her shirt off?”
Catelyn turned her head and said to Cedrick softly, “Just lift the shirt and show the doctor the wound.”
“I’m requesting a female doctor!” demanded Cedrick.
He would never allow another man to take her shirt off,
“Are you crazy? It’s in the middle of the night, and there are only two doctors on call at the moment. You either let me do it, or get the hell out!” the doctor growled as he shot a heated glare at Cedrick.
Catelyn wanted to say something to ease the tension, but when she looked at Cedrick, she noticed how his lips were pursed tightly together as he shot the doctor a cold, murderous glare
The sight sent chills down her spine. It was as if he was looking at his prey.
The male doctor felt the chills from his glare and eventually gave up, asking the nurse to call in a female doctor that was on duty.
Catelyn’s inflamed wound looked ghastly against the white bed sheet. The female doctor carefully picked
e tiny rocks that were still on the wound before disinfecting and wrapping it up.
Cedrick dragged a chair and sat next to Catelyn by the bed, holding her hand tightly.
