Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler
Chapter 305

Chapter 305 "I'm alright...just a little thirsty." Catelyn wanted to sit up when a pair of hands pinned her down. The warmth from Cedrick's hands spread to her shoulder.

"Don't move. I'll bring you water." Catelyn froze in place. She did not want him to notice that she was feeling a certain way. "Okay." Cedrick turned around to fill a glass with water, and his eyes darkened. 'What was she thinking of earlier? Why did she look so sad and dazed?' Cedrick filled the glass up with warm water and took a sip to test the temperature of the water before putting a straw in and pointing it toward Catelyn's lips. "Open your mouth. Drink up." Catelyn did not even have to sit up; all she had to do was open her mouth to drink Seeing as Catelyn did not open her mouth, Cedrick raised his brows and asked, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink" Catelyn felt extremely embarrassed. She just had diarrhea. Why was he treating him like she was a three-year-old child that needed help? "I'd like to sit up."

"The doctor said that you're still too weak, so it's better to rest in bed," said Cedrick gently as if he was trying to console a child. "Come on now, be good."

His tone was not threatening at all. If anything, it was endearing.

He had never even been that patient with Ollie before.

Catelyn refused to listen to him. She propped herself up with one arm in an attempt to sit up, but since laxatives were still present in her system, her movements seemed to have triggered something as she felt something growling inside her. Followed by that, an embarrassing sound escaped from her body, breaking the silence of the room. She could not believe it!

Her face flushed red in an instant. She froze in place with her hand still grabbing the comer of the blanket. Cedrick was stunned for a brief moment before reeling to where that sound came from. He looked at Catelyn.

At first, he was worried that Catelyn might be feeling unwell, but he then noticed how stunned and wide-eyed she was, like a frightened doe.

"Are you done messing around?"

Catelyn wished there was a hole for her to bury herself in. She did not even care about the water at this point as she dug into the blanket.

"I'm not thirsty anymore. Leave me alone!" grumbled Catelyn, though muffled.

She did not expect to embarrass herself in such a way. Her stomach had growled!

She had a bad feeling that she might make a worse fool out of herself in front of Cedrick in the next second.

Cedrick tugged on the blanket, but Catelyn did not cave in.

To be fair, however, he was not even trying.

"Come out. I have something to say to you."

He realized how stubborn Catelyn could be sometimes.

Atherton Manor.

Granny Atherton did not stay long in the hospital as she went back home to rest shortly after. Chapter 305

She sat on the sofa. On the table in front of her were photos from about 20 years ago, all framed.

She stared at the girl in one of the photos.

Summer smiled back at her in the photo, as if she was laughing at her.

Granny Atherton had three children, and Summer, her youngest daughter, was her favorite. She never understood nor accepted the fact that Summer would leave the house for the sake of a man. Her wrinkly hand grazed over the photo as she fell into deep thought.
