Chapter 526 When she was first confined, Catelyn tried numerous ways to run away, including shredding her bed sheets into strips and weaving them into a rope. However, it was not long enough-it was a high floor, after all.
She wanted to ask for help from her neighbors too, but her neighbors gave up as soon as they saw the fierce-looking guards standing by her door.
After all, Catelyn only moved in recently, and the neighbors were wary that she was a suspicious individual.
She even pretended to fall ill. Heck, she tried all kinds of ways, but to no avail.
She almost gave up! “Miss Clark, what would you like to have for lunch?” came the polite voice of a guard as he knocked on the door.
Catelyn did not want to entertain that question, however.
The guard felt a little bad to see Catelyn in a bad shape.
“Master Cedrick said he’ll be coming over tonight. Catelyn, please have at least some light food. You look terrible now.”
Hearing that, Catelyn’s pupils dilated. “Cedrick will be here tonight?”
“Yes.” The guard realized Catelyn was finally willing to speak to him, so he continued, “Master Cedrick always makes a few phone calls every day to check on you; he really cares for you. Do you want to also… put some makeup on?”
Catelyn could feel a chuckle rising to her chest. “Are you joking?”
Did this guard think this was the ancient medieval times when queens would dress up for the kings?
He wanted her to put on some makeup?
The guard was stunned and did not say a word more.
It was bad enough that Catelyn could not go out, but she did not even have her phone, so she had limited entertainment options.
The entertainment that she most frequently resorted to was to zone out on the couch.
She felt drowsiness slowly consuming her when all of a sudden, she could hear the faint sound of footsteps on the floorboard. Instantly, she jolted in alarm.
Outside of the door, Cedrick just finished his work and made it to her place the first thing after.
