Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 911

Chapter 911

Catelyn chewed the swordfish rolls. When she heard Draco's words, she quickly swallowed and responded questioningly, "What has he done? Grandpa, don't tell me you're still looking for a mistress for Ceddy."

"That's not what I meant.” Draco put on a serious look and added, "I mean, if Ceddy has...an underlying illness, but one that won't affect your normal life at the moment, would you still love him the same?"

"Underlying illness? What do you mean?"

"It's a long story; blame me for it if you must. It was all because of a lover of mine in the past." Draco sighed faintly.

Since Catelyn was officially a member of the family, he decided not to keep secrets. Even if he did not tell her, Syl would sooner or later tell Catelyn before the wedding.

He told Catelyn that someone poisoned him decades ago but accidentally harmed his descendants, and as he relayed the story, his eyes seemed to be glossed with tears.

'Ceddy is the lucky one. When he was born, medicine development flourished globally, and our team successfully developed an antidote to restrain the toxin. Still, it'll attack him from time to time, which is indescribably painful. Maybe I'm being too abstract here, but most of my sons and grandsons couldn't stand the suffering and eventually committed suicide..."

The fork in Catelyn's hand fell on the dining table with a clatter.

As she listened to Draco, perhaps it was because of empathy, but she felt like she had traveled back in time and saw a young boy covering his head with his hands, slamming himself against the wall repeatedly until he fell unconscious.

Her heart tightened for a moment, her vision became blurred, and her voice nearly cracked with how intensely she snapped, her eyes red as she did, "Why did you betray that woman? Why can't you protect your children? And my grandma was deeply hurt by you!

"You're a living devil. People like you don't deserve forgiveness. I hope you live the rest of your life in guilt and remorse!"

Draco listened on as his lips quivered, but he had no right to refute it.

Tears fell, and finally, he hunched over his back and repeatedly said, "I'm sorry..."

"Being sorry doesn't help. Your apology won't make up for my grandmother and to get rid of the toxins in Ceddy's body. You said that this virus can be inherited, so what about Miles and Ollie? Are they going to suffer in the future, too?!¹' Catelyn suddenly became emotional and agitated.

She thought she could already live a happy life, but she never thought that the greatest tragedy had always been by her side, and it was just a matter of time.

If Miles and Ollie also housed this virus in their system, they would suffer from severe pain in the future. She was so afraid that she would even want to kill Draco.

She was not afraid of being despised and trampled on, nor of being threatened and hurt, but for her babies to suffer for the sin of their elders instead.

The more she talked, the angrier she became.

No longer having the mood for breakfast, Catelyn shot up from her seat and stormed to the living room. She gazed at her two sons playing, trying her best to suppress her sadness, but she was just not strong enough to hold back anymore.

Soon, she burst into tears.

'Why didn't Cedrick tell me about something this important?'
