Chapter 968
"Dad, I want to ask you a question," said Catelyn.
"What is it?" "Back then, when you took my examination report for me from the hospital, did the doctor really say
that I only had a stomach problem?" Catelyn asked as she stared at her father, not wanting to miss any of his facial
expressions.
She caught a hint of entanglement in his eyes, and her heart sank a little.
Her father already knew she was pregnant long ago!
That was the reason why Ezekiel had been reminding her about the many things that she could not eat.
But why? Catelyn could not figure out why he would want to hide this from her.
"Did you already know?" Ezekiel said nervously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn asked knowingly, About what?"
Ezekiel fell silent and closed his eyes gently. "Are you here to test me?"
Catelyn still cared about Ezekiel very much. After all, he was her father. Seeing his tangled demeanor, Catelyn's
heart softened.
"No, I'm not here to test you. I just wondered if there was a misunderstanding. Did the doctor not find out about the
pregnancy? Because the report you gave me only showed that I had a stomach problem, and I only found out
much later that I was actually pregnant when I started vomiting continuously. Aren't you happy to have a grandkid?
What are you trying to do to hide it from me?" said Catelyn.
"I... I had some trouble," said Ezekiel. He had made up his mind to confess, knowing that it would be futile to
continue hiding this from Catelyn.
He even thought those antiemetics would be useful to conceal the truth a little longer...
However, Catelyn's reaction toward her own pregnancy was just too strong.
Ezekiel calmly said, "From the moment Cedrick took you to the Athertons, I knew that it would be revealed
eventually, but I didn't expect it to be so quick. I'm sorry, Kitty.”
He had finally admitted it!
"I don't want your apology!" exclaimed Catelyn, her heart skipping a few beats in an instant.
"Dad, what's your trouble? You actually bribed the doctor to make a false medical report? I'm your daughter! Why
would you do that? Do you think that I would hurt you?" she continued.
If Catelyn treated her sickness as a gastrointestinal disease, she would probably end up having a direct
miscarriage!
Thinking of this possibility, Catelyn’s heart tightened.
"Of course, I didn't think that you would hurt me. I'm just worried. In short, you'd better not get involved, it's very

"Dangerous?" Catelyn suddenly thought of Ezekiel's fear when he first met Cedrick. She took a deep breath and
said, "What is the danger? Why are you hiding so many secrets? Are you afraid of Cedrick?!"
Ezekiel's face went numb for a while. "Kitty, don't worry about it too much. Just know I'm your father, and I'm doing
this for your own good..."
Catelyn took a big step back, clenching her fists in despair. "You don't have to do this for me! I just wanted to know
why you hid this from me. If I didn't discover my pregnancy, would you take the child away from me?"
Ezekiel was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly. "It's not the right time to have this child..."
With that, Catelyn felt as if there was an invisible hand grabbing her throat tightly.
She would never imagine that her father, whom she loved wholeheartedly, would do something like this!
Catelyn subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and stared at Ezekiel.
"But... he is also your grandchild..."
