Chapter 76
He stretched his long arms and held the infusion bottle high in his hand. He said in a voice as calm as red wine, “Alright, I will accompany you.”
Catelyn let out a soft yelp. Did he want to accompany me to the bathroom? She could never imagine that ever happening. “N.No need. I can go alone,” she said, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. “Stop jumping to conclusions. There are hooks in the bathroom for the infusion bottle. Do you really think I will be standing there, watching you?”
Cedrick was enjoying her awkwardness, and his thin lips rose into a slightly playful smile.
Catelyn was so embarrassed that she kept silent and walked toward the bathroom. The bathroom in the VIP ward was very clean. There are even paper toilet seat covers on the seat.
Indeed, there was a white rubber hook next to the toilet, almost at her eye level. Cedrick placed the infusion bottle on the hook, hanging it upside down. He said in his rare gentle tone, “Be careful not to hold your hand too high. We would not want the blood to flow backward
“Yes…” she replied, feeling that Cedrick was not as annoying as before. Cedrick turned around and went out. With the infusion tube in her left hand, Catelyn used her right hand to take off her pants.
She had now changed into the hospital’s designated patient’s robe. It was loose, with no buttons. She felt it was one size too big for her, and the collar was loose.
Nevertheless, she will just be lying in bed and covered in the duvet. No one would notice that.
Cedrick stood by the bathroom door.
He was actually a light sleeper. Once woken up, it would be hard for him to fall asleep again. Especially in the middle of the night, it felt like the right time for a cigarette.
However, considering Catelyn’s condition, he suppressed his urge to smoke a cigarette. After some five minutes. The bathroom was still quiet, Catelyn did not ask for him as well.
Just when Cedrick wondered if he needed to check on her…”
“Ahhh!”
