Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler
Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Cedrick put the glass down and forcefully used his hand to prop Catelyn up. He forced her jaw open... "Mmm!"

Catelyn felt the pain of her neck being stretched, and her mouth was forced open.

Cedrick poured the water down her throat.

"You..."

Catelyn widened her eyes and glared at Cedrick, but he was busy feeding her the water. Catelyn gulped on the overflowing warm water and finally saw the bottom of the glass. Her stomach was now filled to the brim. She let out a soft cough. She said sarcastically, "So whenever Maia falls sick, is this how you feed her water?" Cedrick seemed satisfied that the water had been finished and turned on the nightlight. The room was now lit with a soft romantic light. He said, "She is not annoying like you." Catelyn was speechless. Annoying? If she were annoying, half the girls in this world would be considered dramatic! Catelyn silently threw a tantrum. She did not want to bicker with Cedrick anymore.

Cedrick was too lazy to say anything more too. He pressed the bell to get the doctor to treat Catelyn's sprain. Thankfully, her bones were not injured. It was only a sprain.

The doctor applied some ointment to her. No medicine was needed, and she only needed to take a rest and will be fine in no time. The room fell silent again. It was a quiet night. However, Catelyn could not fall asleep. When the sun was about to rise, she finally fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already the morning. Catelyn looked around and could not replace Cedrick. Maybe he had something up and left earlier. After all, it was probably the most he could do to have accompanied her the entire night. Nonetheless, she could not help but feel a little sad... She should have thanked him in person before he left. The sprain on her waist Improved after the ointment massage last night. After finishing the last infusion bottle, Catelyn went to manage her discharge procedures. Little did she know that Cedrick only went to pick up two important calls. When he was finally back to the ward and found no one in bed, his face turned grim. He called the nurse and asked,

"Where is the patient?" The nurse was shaking while checking her list and stammered, "Cate... Catelyn Clark? She was applying for a discharge..." "She was so severely injured but applying for a discharge?" Cedrick said coldly.

"Yes... She requested it herself."

Cedrick took one look at the breakfast in his hand that he had packed earlier. He then turned and dumped it into the bin and left the hospital.

That night, at the Atherton's, Lola was scrolling through her phone while lying on the sofa, feeling satisfied.

Louella sat across from her. Unlike her sister, she was slightly on edge. "Lola, is this really a good idea? Maybe we should just chase Catelyn and her son out of the country..."

Lola was against the idea. "You don't understand. We must 'treat' the root cause of the problem! She happened to have offended Jamie this time. Locking her up is already mercy to her." Lola had thought it through. Even if Catelyn really introduced her to the man, she would still not spare her.

Lola was against the idea. "Though, I have a bad feeling about this. Jamie had emphasized not to sue Catelyn, seemingly scared of the person behind it."

"What did he have to be scared of? Even if Jamie Mason is scared, it does not mean that me, an Atherton, should be scared."

"So."

"Sis! I am helping you come up with ideas! Can you not shoot all my ideas down?" Lola was impatient.
