Chapter 98

Chapter 98 “It’s fine. I can do this myself.”

Catelyn had been taking care of her son on her own all this while, and she had grown used to it.

Cedrick reached his long fingers and snatched the receipts from her hands before whispering in a seductively low voice, “I don’t think this is an appropriate time for you to try and be the hero here. Every second’s delay is another second your son is suffering.” Catelyn gritted her teeth, unable to argue.

Cedrick was right. This was not the time to try and distance herself from him. Cedrick dragged Catelyn and walked upstairs. When he glanced through the medications stated on the receipts, he lifted his brow once again. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He himself had a weak stomach, so it was natural that he was familiar with medication for stomach pain, and the medicines he saw on the bill…

“What’s wrong with your son?”

Catelyn followed closely behind him. The floor ‘Miles’ was on was not that high, so instead of taking the elevator, the two climbed up the stairs instead.

“He has always liked Mexicaean food and spicy things, so I made him Mexicaean Spicy meat stew today. I didn’t expect him to get sick after eating it… It’s my fault for not even noticing that he wasn’t feeling well,” she explained as tears welled up in her eyes again. A strange feeling rose within Cedrick Miles, who loved spicy food, suddenly became someone who could not eat spicy food. His son, on the other hand, who could not take spicy food at all, fell in love with spicy Mexicaean food. “I thought you mentioned that your son can handle spicy food just well?”

“He used to be.” Catelyn herself was not sure how to explain the matter. “Maybe it’s an infection. The doctor says he needs to be under observation.”

Cedrick was instantly overwhelmed by a strong feeling. He had to meet with Miles Clark, the three-year- old boy who dared to argue with him through the phone.

The two went up to the doctor’s office on the second floor, but the bed where ‘Miles’ was supposed to be was empty.

Catelyn’s eyes widened and immediately went to look for the nurses. Her voice was trembling with concern as she asked, “Nurse, have you seen my son? He was just there!”

“You mean Miles Clark?” The nurse remembered the adorable boy as she took a liking to him. “I think he’s in the bathroom.”

“Thank you.”

Catelyn handed the receipts to the doctor before turning to run toward the men’s room at the end of the corridor without hesitation.

Cedrick scanned the room sharply when suddenly, his heart sank in realization as he turned to run after Catelyn.

Catelyn was about to barge into the men’s room! Cedrick narrowed his eyes and furiously grabbed her wrist. “Are you just going to go in there like that? The men’s room isn’t like the ladies’ room. Do you realize what you can see there?”

Catelyn could not think of anyone but her son at the moment and could not be bothered about where she was going. Cedrick’s warning finally snapped her out of her trance.

There were plenty of men going in and out of the men’s room; the hospital, after all, was never short of patients or men.

Catelyn grabbed hold of Cedrick’s hand abruptly. The man’s hand was chapped and warm, covered in a thin layer of callus. Cedrick lowered his gaze to stare at Catelyn’s hand on his.

Her hands were cold.

Catelyn narrowed her eyes and bit her lower lip as she looked at him pleadingly. “Can you go in and help me look for him? He’s around Ollie’s height and figure, and their voices are quite similar, too, and my son is just a bit more active.

“If you’d just go inside and say that I’m waiting outside the door, he’d respond if he’s in there

Cedrick looked into her eyes.

The afternoon sun was blazing, and the light shone through the window in the corridor. Half of his face was exposed to the light, and the other half remained in the shadows. His thick, silky hair was slightly disheveled. Her eyes slowly began to focus on his defined, brooding features.
