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…”
“Are you coming here, or do I need to go over there to grab you?” spoke Cedrick expressionlessly.
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.
