Chapter 1254

Somehow, Catelyn couldn't bear to scold Edwin when sensing his dispiritedness.

Edwin only allowed others to see what he intended for them to see...

Few people could read his mind.

Catelyn gave a sigh resignedly. Then she took out an ice pack from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel and threw it to Edwin while suppressing her anger. "Reduce the swelling with the ice pack. Otherwise, Grandma will feel sad when she sees your face later," she uttered.

"Kitty, I'm sorry..." Edwin suddenly apologized seriously.

Staring at the injuries on his face, Catelyn found he was more severely harmed than Cedrick. Those injuries looked shocking.

As her inexplicable fury dissipated, she urged impatiently," Well, I don't want to know what has happened. But you'd better mitigate the swelling. Grandma and the others are waiting for you to go downstairs and cut the cake."

Edwin didn't move, but twitched his mouth mockingly.

"Actually, you are the one who should punch me," Edwin said.

Bitterly ashamed, he had no courage to tell her the truth. * Let Cedrick tell her,' Edwin thought.

Then Edwin stood up. He picked up his jacket, shook the dust off it and flung it on. He put his hand into the pocket and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Watching him step out, Catelyn felt more and more confused. She asked, "Don't you apply the medicine?"

Edwin didn't answer her. He left without looking back.

'Catelyn and Cedrick need time to talk, right?' Edwin thought.

As Edwin left decisively, Catelyn had no choice but to continue to care for Cedrick. With many injuries on his face, there must be more wounds on his body.

Thinking of Cedrick's appointment with Mr. Denham, Catelyn became intensely worried, with the hope that he wouldn't be harmed tomorrow.

"Catelyn, I have something to tell you. Be prepared..." Cedrick stared at her seriously.

But she interrupted him and went on dabbing the medicine onto his face. "Don't talk. Don't move. Let me treat your wounds first. This half of your face has turned swollen..." "But it is very important. It's about..." Cedrick added.

"Nothing is more important than you!" Catelyn interrupted him again. She pressed his lips with her slender finger, silencing him. His tumid handsome face was reflected in her tender and affectionate eyes. "I just want you to be safe and sound," she said.

Looking at her anxious expression, Cedrick chose to be silent.

He knew she had a fear of Mr. Denham...

She had been worried that Mr. Denham would do something heinous again when Cedrick met him, just as Mr. Denham determined to wipe out his opponents in the hotel explosion even if killing dozens of innocent people.

Taking a deep breath, Cedrick decided not to mention Puffy's identity. 'After I confirm who Mr. Denham is tomorrow, I'll tell her then. And it's safer for Puffy to stay with Edwin.'

He took her hand that was gently swabbing his wound and pecked it several times, wanting to tease her. "If I have a clue about our daughter, don't you care?" He queried.

Catelyn's hand trembled, her dark eyes grew wide immediately, and she looked at him in astonishment...

Her heart began pounding with nervousness and anticipation.

Afraid of being disappointed, she held back her nervousness and pretended to be calm. "If you discover Mr. Denham's identity, you'll also replace Jennie. I believe in you. Really. No matter what happens, you must be safe," she said.

Feeling that she was so nervous that she couldn't hold the medicine stably, Cedrick was amused and smiled. "When I come back tomorrow, I'll bring our daughter back," he promised.

At it, Catelyn almost couldn't breathe. But she was still forcing herself to be calm. "Okay."
