Chapter 912
"Don't bother; I'll find solutions myself. Now, get out of the way!"
Catelyn did not give Draco a chance to finish his sentence and resolutely took the two children, leaving him frozen in place at Mason Chateau.
Sylvie saw Catelyn striding in, past the gates of Atherton Manor, with a furious expression.
'That cursed old man. For Cedrick's sake, I relented in letting my precious granddaughter be registered on your family pedigree book. How dare you even bully my granddaughter?!'
"Oh, Cat, don't cry. Tell me: why did that ungrateful old man bully you? I'll get back at him for you.” Sylvie handed a tissue to Catelyn and gently wiped her tears for her.
Catelyn said incoherently, "Grandma, does the Atherton family have any doctor specialized in hereditary diseases? Miles and Ollie... They may have a genetic disease in their bodies, but I—I... I can't do anything for them...”
Sylvie's movement of wiping her tears halted, and her eyelids twitched.
The thing she was most worried about finally happened. Catelyn knew the truth.
She never dared to tell Catelyn all this time because she feared that she would panic when she found out.
'Oh, don't cry, Cat... I've heard about the genetic disease of the Mason family too, but it's not that scary. Medicine development and inventory are so advanced now, so perhaps Miles and Ollie won't inherit the disease. That's possible, too! Hasn't Cedrick kept the disease well under control all these years?"
"But apart from Cedrick, Elder Mason's sons and grandsons are all dead!" Catelyn whimpered aggrievedly as though countless claws were scratching her heart, and she felt tormented. "Grandma, is this why you have been preventing me from being together with Cedrick? Tell me, please..."
Sylvie sighed helplessly and nodded. In the end, she could not conceal the truth.
"I know Cedrick will be a good husband for you, but he has a genetic disease in his body. I don't want you to suffer with him-"
"I'm so stupid! Why didn't I find it out earlier?!"
Catelyn cried until she was out of breath, and all her grievances and sadness were thrown at her grandmother.
Sylvie kept comforting her that the medical team would soon run the test, all while patting her back gently and saying, "It's okay. Vent it out. I'll be here with you..."
Catelyn cried bitterly, and when she was done, she felt like her strength had returned to her.
