Chapter 969
Ezekiel's words had been haunting Catelyn as she returned to the Atherton residence.
’It's just a small embryo now, not my grandchild!"
Just because the baby was still an embryo, could her father arbitrarily deprive him of his right to live?
Catelyn did not have the appetite for her meals all night.
Cedrick delivered some supplements to Catelyn as he got off work and was told by the servants that she had not
eaten anything at night.
He went to the second floor and lightly pushed open the door of the master bedroom. He saw a figure on the bed
suddenly shrink into the quilt as if avoiding something. Cedrick's sharp dark eyes narrowed, quickly realizing that
something was wrong.
Did Catelyn not go and find her father this afternoon?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy was she so depressed? Did she find out that Ezekiel had deliberately changed her medical report?
Just as Cedrick walked to the edge of the bed, Catelyn suddenly sat up as if nothing had happened. She pointed to
the garden outside the window with a smile. "Did you see the snowman and spyderman in the garden? The boys
and I did it! We've been working on it the whole afternoon!’
Cedrick stared at her face, there was an indescribable sadness in her eyes.
"What did your father tell you?” he asked.
Catelyn was shocked. "You... You knew I went to see my father?"
"You are pregnant now, and you must be protected at all times. Did you think I would allow someone like Eugene to
kidnap you again?" said
Cedrick. At this moment, the number of bodyguards who followed her in secret had tripled.
Cedrick took Catelyn's hand, and he could feel a trace of chill in her palm, which made his heart ache.
Catelyn blinked several times and pretended to be calm. "It's nothing. He just told me he took the wrong report
from the doctor."
"Lies!" exclaimed Cedrick. He could immediately see at a glance that his wife was forcing a smile. He pinched her
chin and said, "He bribed the doctor to forge that report. Would you cry if he told you that it was an accident?"
"Whoever said I cried?" Catelyn wiped her eyes stubbornly.
This time, she could not control her emotions. After Cedrick's provocation, Catelyn could not help but tear up
uncontrollably.
It turned out that Cedrick had already known that the report was false. She was the only one who was not aware of
it!
Catelyn was still denying it, thinking that her own father could not deceive her.
She bit her lower lip as she hurriedly wiped off her tears, but the tears would not stop flowing, and her vision was
instantly blurred by the tears again.
Cedrick helped her with her tears. "There there, don't cry. I'm the father of the child, and no one can decide the life
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand death of the child but me!"
"I'm not crying! My eyes were itchy, that's all," said Catelyn stubbornly.
Cedrick grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Okay, fine. You didn't cry. Anyway, you don't have to care
too much about your father's thoughts. As you get older, there will always be a generation gap. Right now, just
remember that the most important thing is that you and I will always be together."
Catelyn lay on Cedrick's shoulders and said softly, "I feel uncomfortable not only because my father secretly
changed my report but because... he actually wanted to get rid of the child in my womb without my knowledge!"
She shuddered just at the thought of it.
"Catelyn," Cedrick interrupted. He reached out and held her cheek, his dark eyes looking deeply into hers. “To be
fair, it's been four years already. Are you sure that your father is still the same person?"
Indeed, it was a long time ago.
There were far more serious problems from Ezekiel other than his deception of Catelyn's pregnancy. However,
Cedrick felt that perhaps it was not the time to tell her more bad news about her father.
Catelyn had been really happy ever since Ezekiel came back. It was natural that she would not think of any hidden
agenda of her father.
