Chapter 914
Catelyn was caught off-guard when Cedrick pulled her to him, but she then violently resisted.
The more she resisted, however, the tighter Cedrick held her. He patiently comforted her, "I'm not lying to you. I went to pick up a confidential document from the company in the morning. You know you can trust me. If the results are out, I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Catelyn softly hit Cedrick's chest with her fist and whimpered, "I don't believe you. You always refuse to tell me about important things. How long do you still plan to hide your secrets from me? I am their mother and have the right to know their health!"
Cedrick did not feel any pain in his chest.
Seeing the tears flashing in her eyes, he subconsciously frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I just don't want you to worry..."
"Excuses! Grandma knows it, and you know it, too. Everyone in the Mason family knows it except me!"
Annoyed and worried, her emotions became unstable.
She then bit on his arm and indistinctly growled, "You even took their blood for testing secretly. It was premeditated, wasn't it?! I don't know how many things you're still hiding from me!
"Tell me: your disease has something to do with the accident Stella was involved in that night, doesn't it? You refused to tell me where you went because of that, right?"
Cedrick's frown deepened at how she shoved him away. He noticed the conflict of emotions in her eyes. "I did find Yael that night. He's my doctor and has always been in charge of my disease, but he's obsessed with medical research, so I didn't take you to see him."
'No wonder he's been refusing to tell me what he was doing day and night when he disappeared... Once he explained that he went to the doctor, it'd make me suspect that he was sick. He'd rather be misunderstood that he hurt Stella than explain where he went.'
Catelyn felt sad and helpless. "Then, what would you do if the two children were found out to have inherited the virus? Would you continue to hide it from me?"
"I don't answer hypothetical questions." Repeated questions from Catelyn made Cedrick uncontrollably grit his teeth as he was holding his temper.
He gave her a sharp stare. "Since you know everything now, your grandmother must've told you that this virus is very hereditary. I was told that I'd die anytime. Knowing this now, will you still want to be with me?"
Catelyn's focus was not at all on either being with him or not; she never thought about leaving him after all.
She was most concerned about the safety of her two children at that moment.
A moment of silence in Cedrick's eyes seemed forever.
His expression suddenly cooled down as he clasped Catelyn's wrist with one hand and forced her against a pillar of the lake house.
"Answer me: will you break up with me because of this?"
Although he did not believe that he would die from the virus, he was still curious about Catelyn's thoughts.
"You're hurting me! Let me go!"
