Chapter 327 Treyton Is Devastated
Nevertheless, Kieran didn’t comment as indignance continued to rage within him.
+15 Bonus
He was oblivious to what happened at Fairlake. All he knew was how his sister suffered for three years after marrying into the Wright family
Upon learning that Cedrick was Gwendolyn’s ex–husband, Kieran’s opposition to her current engagement with him was even more intense. Even if Gwendolyn had retaliated to everything Cedrick had done to her earlier, his hatred for his brother–in–law would never diminish.
Thus, his love for his sister was the only reason he agreed to care for Cedrick.
Despite the anger within him, Kieran turned and left without comment, typical of being a man of few words.
A few minutes later, he came back with a bunch of tablets and capsules. After leaving them by the bedside table, he poured a glass of water before going off.

Watching Kieran’s leaving silhouette, Treyton sighed to himself, cognizant of how difficult his brother could be.
As it was time for Cedrick to take his medication, Treyton had no choice but to wake him.
“Gwenny!”
Jolted awake, Cedrick’s first reflex was to call out to Gwendolyn.
Treyton was shaken to see how enamored the former was with his sister.
“Cedrick, it’s time for your medication.” Treyton softened his tone as he handed Cedrick the glass of water.
Although Cedrick was older than him by three years, the fact that the former was engaged to his younger sister made him a junior in the family hierarchy. Thus, addressing Cedrick by his first name was the limit of what he could do.
Just as Cedrick struggled to get up, his expression darkened drastically upon realizing that his four limbs were bound.
“Let go of me! I want to see Gwenny!” His tone was filled with stubborn hostility.
Treyton let out a sigh and explained, “Didn’t I tell you that she isn’t here? Can you just cooperate and take the medicine? Also, stop moving. Kieran has tied you very securely. The more you struggle, the more painful it will be!”
Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears.
Cedrick’s eyes continued to burn with rage as hysteria overwhelmed his senses. His fists were clenched so tightly that veins were bulging across his arm, whereas his wrists and ankles were already scratched red from the friction of the ropes.
Treyton planted his hand on his forehead as he watched Kieran struggle as if he had gone berserk. “Have you lost your marbles? Why do you torment yourself this way? At the rate you’re going, I’ll lose what’s left of my patience and get Kieran to force–feed you the medication. Is that really what you want?”
“Call Gwenny and put her on speaker! I want to hear it from the horse’s mouth!”

Call Gwendolyn?
Checking his watch, Treyton figured that he couldn’t reach her as she was still on the plane.
“I won’t take the medication until I see Gwenny!” Cedrick roared.
The blood from his bleeding wrist had stained the ropes that held him down.
Upon noticing that, Treyton caught his breath in exasperation.

At the rate he’s struggling, there’s no way we can keep him tied over the next few days. If Gwendolyn sees the wounds on him…
Treyton smacked his own head repeatedly to vent his frustration from being forced into a corner by Cedrick.
He’s such a pain in the *ss!
“D*mn it, Cedrick! How am I going to reach Kiddo when she’s on a plane? Besides, she’ll be sad to learn of how you hurt yourself recklessly. I’ll do whatever you want as long as you cooperate, all right?”
“Why is she on a plane? Where is she going?”
“Do you really want to know?” An idea popped into Treyton’s head. “If you stop struggling, I’ll untie you and tell you where she went. How about that?”
Upon hearing that, Cedrick calmed down abruptly, his heaving chest the proof of his hysterical behavior earlier.
Treyton, too, heaved a sigh of relief.
I guess the only way to control him is through anything related to Gwendolyn.
“Don’t move a muscle, all right? I’m going to free you now. If you kick up a fuss or fight with me after that I’m not going to tell you what you want to know!”
Just as expected, Cedrick cooperated with the threat looming over his head.
Amidst his silence, he lowered his abyss–like eyes, while the pale look on his handsome face was a testament to his sickly condition.
After untying Cedrick’s bonds, Treyton applied alcohol to his wounds to sterilize them.
The moment the alcohol made contact, a stinging pain shot through Cedrick’s body. The fact that he couldn’t see amplified the pain manifold,
In spite of that, he only furrowed his brows tightly and didn’t even let out a groan. If it wasn’t for Cedrick’s trembling fingers, Treyton would have assumed that the virus had numbed the former’s nerves.
“It hurts, doesn’t it? That means you’re still alive. As a sick patient, can’t you just behave like one for once?” Treyton nagged with a grim voice while bandaging Cedrick’s wounds.
Instead of coming back with a retort, the emotionless Cedrick asked, “Where did Gwenny go?”
“She went overseas,” Treyton replied concisely.

“Overseas?” Cedrick sat up and leaned against the headboard. “Why did she have to go so far? What is she planning to do?”
“Do you still want to know?” Treyton cocked a brow.
Cedrick nodded. The gradual return of his senses helped him recover his composure.
Treyton continued manipulating him, “Since you’re interested, take the medicine as you should. I’ll only tell you if you stay calm the entire day.”
He then handed Cedrick the medication and capsules before stuffing the glass of water into the latter’s right hand.
“Take this and don’t spill it.”
Without any hesitation, Cedrick popped more than ten pills into his mouth and downed them with the water in his hand.
His taste buds were suddenly saturated with bitterness so intense that his face lost all color. In fact, he had to desperately stop himself from retching quite a few times.
His attempts to hide his discomfort didn’t escape Treyton who responded with a frown. “Is it really that bitter?”
No sooner had he spoken than he realized that it was Kieran’s doing.
After all, despite being a man of few words who kept to himself, Kieran was a genius when it came to medicine. On top of that, he was someone who was even more vengeful than Asher.
When Treyton recalled Gwendolyn’s instructions, he was filled with guilt, Treyton pulled out a caramel sweet from his pocket and placed it in Cedrick’s hand.
“Kiddo gave this to me. She told me that this flavor is your favorite and she has bought a lot of it. I’m to give you one every time you take your medication. Anyway, I’ve now fulfilled the responsibility entrusted to me. It’s up to you whether you want to take it.”
