"Where is your superior?" Miles had to look up to meet the man's gaze.On the bridge his tiny yet pointy nose sat a pair of impressive-looking sunglasses, contrasting his fair skin very well. However, his appearance, coupled with his height, made an adorable sight, much to the officer's amusement."You're looking for our superior, huh? Who are you?"Miles raised his chin and puffed his cheeks, saying, "I'm Ollie Mason, Cedrick Mason's son. Have your superior come and see me."The man fell silent for a second.He looked at the boy before him, and his lower jaw fell unhinged. "Cedrick Mason's…son?"Was this the renowned Young Master Ollie?Well, rumors had it that the boy was barely four years old this year. He should look similar to the boy before him at this moment.Miles pursed his lips and looked crossed. "Get him to see me, now!"The man, though not believing Miles entirely, brought him to the lobby.Miles ran around as soon as he was in the lobby, searching high and low f
Without much of a choice, Simon opened the door to the fourth room.As expected, Catelyn was inside.…Catelyn wanted to open her eyes to look at the person at the door. At this point, however, she seemed to have caught a cold and was feverish. Her body was weak.She kept seeing the same scenes replaying before her eyes. One moment was about her falling from the stone steps, and another was about a child dying in front of her.She wanted nothing more than to pass out at this moment.Miles looked past Simon and could see Catelyn being cuffed to the cold stainless steel chair.No longer were her eyes crystal clear; they were agonizingly red with veins branching toward her pupils. Not only was her hair tousled, but her lips were awfully chapped, and she was barely conscious. Her head was dangling from her neck, swaying side to side, looking like she could faint."Big Kitty!" exclaimed Miles, worried and furious altogether. His little heart almost shattered into pieces.He release
Two handsome yet cold strode across the lobby and approached him from behind. It was Cedrick and Edwin.Eason withdrew his gun. His presence screamed bloodlust.As they got closer, Cedrick's slender figure became clearer. His face was stern as he looked down at Warren and Simon. "You were saying? Who did you want to kill?"The lobby was pin drop silent.Simon felt suffocated. He did not know Cedrick but was already stunned by his aura. He could feel his tongue stiffen and could not say a word.Cedrick smirked. He walked past the two losers and saw Miles lying next to Catelyn. He was just a child, trying to wipe the dirt off Catelyn's face using his tiny fingers.His gesture was gentle, he was scared of hurting Catelyn.He was bawling his eyes out. Cedrick frowned. Since when did he change his clothes? After all, it was his own son. Although Cedrick was a little disgusted, he bent over and lifted him up with one arm.Miles did not want to be separated from Catelyn. Suddenl
Catelyn was lying on the hospital bed in the middle of the night. She fell into a restless sleep. She felt herself traveling back to four years ago when she was called to the hotel by Jamie.She pleaded in the pitch dark room, "Please don't…"Her struggles and attempt to resist were in vain.Pain, anger, contempt, and many different feelings drowned her. However, right at that moment, the door that was shut was banged open by someone. A tall silhouette appeared at the doorway, like a knight in shining armor. The man's features became clearer as he came closer. Finally, Catelyn could see his face clearly. He was—Cedrick Mason!Catelyn gasped and opened her eyes wide as she looked right into a pair of bottomless black eyes that were about to suck everything in like two blackholes.Cedrick was not all too happy when he heard Catelyn calling Jamie's name in her dream."You're awake.""I…" Catelyn moved slightly and felt her body limp and weak. Her head felt heavy, and there
"Maybe I had not seen clearly and had mistaken him for Miles… Where is Ollie now?""He had been watching you for hours, so I asked Edwin to send him back home to rest," Cedrick explained while rubbing his temples.Ollie worried him too much…However, he is too young to be going through his 'rebellious phase'.Cedrick's gaze subconsciously landed on Catelyn's pale face. Even though she was sick and pale, she still looked so demure.Catelyn nodded. She was touched. She felt her nose stuffy and said, "Remember to thank him for me. I did not expect him to come to rescue me at the police station…""I gotta give you credit for being able to turn him into a reckless kid."Catelyn did not really understand him and looked at him, confused. "What did you say?"Cedrick shrugged it off. "I asked what you would like to have for supper."Catelyn just realized she was hungry.Before she could answer it, she could hear her stomach grumbling. She laughed, pinched her belly, and licked her lips.
Catelyn could not resist and muttered, "Master Cedrick, you're lucky to have a good bodyguard like Eason. You should show him some respect and be nice."Cedrick came closer and lifted her chin using the tip of his fingers. He secretly exerted a little more force than necessary. Her pale skin turned slightly pink where he pinched."Since when did I 'disrespect' him?"Catelyn could feel his breath down her neck. She found it awkward to be holding his gaze and wanted to push him away, but he was still holding her chin, so she was rather vulnerable."I just think that Eason was quite a responsible person. You should not be so rude, or you will lose his loyalty."Cedrick moved his fingers from the tip of her chin to caress the corner of her lips and said in a deep voice, "So, I should thank you for your advice?""I…" Catelyn felt she was in danger. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a few suspicious men standing by the door and suddenly pushed Cedrick away. "Who's there!"Cedrick t
He wondered if Cedrick doubted what he said.Mr. Denson wiped the sweat off his round forehead. "Master Cedrick, I don't have the guts to lie to you. That is all I know. Even though Lola is only part of the extended family of the Athertons, Granny Atherton is quite fond of her…"Lola Atherton?Cedrick pondered upon the name, intrigued. He turned to look at Catelyn. "Didn't you tell her that it was me who saved you?"Catelyn had goosebumps from the looks he gave her. She knew Lola would be screwed soon. "The more badly she wanted to know about this, the more unwilling I was to tell her about it." Cedrick closed his eyes briefly, and bloodlust flashed in his eyes when he opened them again. After a short while, he said coldly, "Don't worry about it. This was all because of me. I will give you an explanation soon.""Don't worry about it. You saved me a few times before this. It's okay to be dragged into your mess once in a while."Cedrick's face turned gloomy. She was definitely no
He stretched his long arms and held the infusion bottle high in his hand. He said in a voice as calm as red wine, "Alright, I will accompany you." Catelyn let out a soft yelp. Did he want to accompany me to the bathroom? She could never imagine that ever happening. "N…No need. I can go alone," she said, feeling embarrassed and ashamed."Stop jumping to conclusions. There are hooks in the bathroom for the infusion bottle. Do you really think I will be standing there, watching you?" Cedrick was enjoying her awkwardness, and his thin lips rose into a slightly playful smile. Catelyn was so embarrassed that she kept silent and walked toward the bathroom. The bathroom in the VIP ward was very clean. There are even paper toilet seat covers on the seat. Indeed, there was a white rubber hook next to the toilet, almost at her eye level. Cedrick placed the infusion bottle on the hook, hanging it upside down. He said in his rare gentle tone, "Be careful not to hold your hand too high.
