Chapter 898
"No!”
Shunk.
The muffled sound of the dagger stabbing into flesh was heard, and a few blood droplets spattered on her face. Soon, she passed out from shock...
Several seconds later, Catelyn smelled blood, but the expected pain did not come.
She opened her eyes and found that Cedrick had stood in front of her, and taken the stab for her. Cedrick wrapped Catelyn with one arm, turned around, and kicked Eugene forcefully.
Eugene fell and rolled on the deck and eventually fell into the sea.
Splash.
"Ceddy..." Catelyn quickly got her head out of Cedrick's arms and checked the wound on Cedrick's belly. Her pitch was high as she was in fright and almost burst into tears. "Quick, Eason, take Master Cedrick and my grandma to the hospital! Now!
"Ceddy, hold on, you'll be okay... I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."
Eason was also quite frightened, so he had someone to bring two stretchers and carried Cedrick and Sylvie into the helicopter.
Time flew, and it was the middle of winter.
It had been more than a month since Catelyn and Sylvie were held hostage by Eugene.
The first snow of the year's winter was heavy, as the snow looked like a rain of swan feathers. They fell slowly, covering the earth.
After Sylvie woke up, she went to visit Cedrick for the first time. Before she fell unconscious, she saw Cedrick's silhouettes and knew that Cedrick had rescued Catelyn. From then on, she no longer stopped the two from dating.
Occasionally, she would remind Catelyn, intentionally or unintentionally, to take care of Cedrick's physical condition.
Catelyn thought that her grandmother was worried about Cedrick's wound and was a little surprised.
Cedrick did not know whether he should hate Eugene for stabbing him or thank him for changing Sylvie's mindset.
At the end of the day, it was not that bad to be stabbed.
Sylvie had come to see Cedrick twice, secretly without letting Catelyn know, to ask him about the genetic virus in his body.
Knowing that it was not a secret to Sylvie, Cedrick then did not keep her in the dark about his recent condition. His condition was stable for many years, but until recently, there have been signs of a re-emergence of the disease. He and his friend, Yael, were working on the research and invention of a new antidote.
Sylvie had only one request for Cedrick, which was to keep Catelyn happy for the rest of her life.
The next day after the incident on the cruise, Sylvie announced that Eugene would be evicted from the Atherton family and could no longer ever set foot in the Atherton Manor and their companies.
