Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773

Uncle Ford did not say what would happen otherwise, but Catelyn understood.

It turned out that Elder Mason not only planned to use her father to threaten her but also planned to get rid of her together if necessary.

She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that her father would be hurt. She lost her biological mother when she was a child, and though Stella took care of her, she could not give her the maternal love she wanted most. It had always been her father who supported and encouraged her by her side.

Four years ago, her father had an accident, and that placed her in great suffering. Today, she finally had a little bit of hope, knowing that her father was not dead, still, she could not give up her love and two children.

'Happiness is only one step away, but why can't I get it?' she lamented.

After Cedrick had dealt with the traffic brigade, he came to the hospital to pick up Catelyn, only to find that she was not in the hospital at all. When he called the company, Jolene told him that Catelyn had taken leave for the day.

Cedrick frowned, but just as he was about to call the bodyguards assigned to look after Catelyn, they rang him up and guiltily confessed they had lost Catelyn. Cedrickcursed, thinking of the footage that the police showed him, and was worried if Catelyn was deliberately avoiding him.

When he went home helplessly to change his clothes, he was rather surprised to find that someone was hiding in the quilt. He quietly approached, lifted the quilt from a corner, and saw Catelyn lying quietly on the bed with her eyes widened.

Her eyes met his.

Cedrick's mind finally eased off as he breathed a sigh of relief. " Didn't you say you were in the hospital? why did you run home without telling me?"

Catelyn pinched her thigh intensely, preventing herself from crying out of sadness, she had cried many times already, so she should not be crying over it anymore lest Cedrick would find it out. "I didn't have a good rest last night, so I came home to take a nap, " Catelyn explained softly and stretched out her arms for a hug. " Can you hug me?"

Cedrickgently lifted her from the bed. she sat on his lap while he leaned over to pick up the shoes on the ground and put them on for her, without the slightest impatience or disgust.

Catelyn leaned into his arms and listened to his steady heartbeat. " My classmate in elementary school asked me something. Can you give me some advice?"

"What's the matter?"

"My classmate secretly married her boyfriend, but her boyfriend's grandparents are against their marriage, so they used the relatives she cared about most to force her to divorce him, or her relatives will die. How do you think I should answer her?"
