Chapter 974
The maids probably knew that Cedrick would break the bowl, so they prepared several bowls of
sobering soup.
Catelyn gritted her teeth, took another bowl, and-after testing its temperature-splashed it onto
Cedrick's face. "Wake the f*ck up!'
Splash! The pick-me-up dripped down Cedrick's head.
The soup, along with a few mung bean skins, dribbled down Cedrick's face, and the collar of his shirt
was also dirtied by the pick-me-up. He trembled all over and blinked.
Needless to say, he looked downright flustered.
Grandpa Albert was scared witless upon seeing this. Catelyn was too aggressive!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was the first time he saw someone dare to splash liquid onto Cedrick's face.
Cedrick came to his senses entirely. He stared at Catelyn deeply, letting a mung bean skin stick to the tip of his
nose, but his breathing grew a little heavy due to anger.
Catelyn's pupils contracted by his stare, but she straightened her body stiffly. "I don't know what happened, but you
should look at how disgusting you're behaving in the mirror! You even pushed Grandpa Albert, you drunkard!”
Cedrick's whole face was tense, and the veins on his forehead protruded.
Touching her stubborn little face, his anger gradually dissipated, leaving only a complicated expression.
He rubbed his swollen temples, walked to the couch, and sat down. With his head slightly lowered, he almost forgot
everything that happened." Albert, did I push you just now?"
"N-No, I simply fell because I wasn't standing right. It's not your fault." Albert hurriedly explained, trembling. ’Let the
family doctor check your wound for you, Master Cedrick, then you could go back to your room to rest."
Catelyn only dared to approach Cedrick when he was sober. The smell of alcohol was neutralized by the soup; at
least it was not so pungent anymore. Still, she was angry, so she kicked his leg with the tip of her toe and asked
angrily, "Why did you drink so much wine?"
Cedrick rubbed the tip of his shoe against his other calf, much like a fluffy kitten scratching its own paw.
After Cedrick sobered up, his mood fell dismal. A few seconds later, Cedrick quietly muttered, "Today is my
mother's death anniversary.’
Catelyn was taken aback.
The room fell into silence.
She suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. "Your mother's...death anniversary? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to throw the soup to your face; I just want you to wake up."
Catelyn finally understood his strange behavior. It turned out this day was the anniversary of his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmother's death.
Cedrick always cared about family affection and Cedrick's biological mother.
Catelyn's heart softened, and she took a clean towel and carefully wiped the soup on his face and
neck. Linder the light, the liquid glowed with a layer of luster, reflecting his handsome face more
perfectly.
She rubbed down along his forehead, and when she just touched his neck, Cedrick suddenly reached
out and held her hand, his gaze burning.
"Promise me that no matter what happens, you'll still be by my side.’
"We're a family. If I'm not by your side, who else can I be with?" Catelyn's pupils reflected Cedrick's
face. Have you gone to your mother's grave and brought her flowers? Why didn't you call me?”
Cedrick pursed his thin lips tightly to conceal the bitterness in his chest.
His loss of emotional control was not only due to the anniversary of his mother's death. More
importantly, it was due to Yael's laboratory test result.
