Chapter 497
Catelyn blushed at the question and mumbled, “Nothing.” She then ran off to the bathroom.
She had been swift, but Alex was a trained bodyguard with sharp eyes, and he spotted her swollen lips right away.
Confused, he wondered if she and Cedrick had settled their disagreement. If so, he and Charles would finally be
able to relax.
In the bathroom, Catelyn touched her burning lips and noticed that they were swollen, just as she had expected
Cedrick Mason, that beast!’ she grumbled. ‘It wasn’t even a kiss anymore. He was straight up chewing on them.
What frustrated her more was that the skin on her lips was torn to the point that ointment would not help the
swelling, let alone the fact that she did not have any ointment. Still, she could not just walk out looking this way

Just as she started panicking, she recalled that there were free face masks at the hospital lobby hall and went to
get one-despite the embarrassment-before heading to the counter to make payment.
They had been in too much a hurry, and the fee for Cedrick’s stay in the hospital had yet to be paid. Considering
the fact that he got injured from protecting her, Catelyn saw it fit for her to pay.
“Hello. That’ll be a total of 13829.40 Eiro.” The nurse handed the bill to Catelyn.
Catelyn’s eyes widened in disbelief as she doubted her ears. “Excuse me? How much did you say it was?”
The nurse gave her an impatient look but repeated herself out of professionalism, “The VVIP room in our hospital
cost 2500 Eiro per night, which included the consultation and meals. You’ve also made a booking for a consultation
with a gynecologist, right? That hasn’t been paid yet either.”
‘To hell with capitalism! It’s no wonder people say it’s better to lose a bag of blood than to come to the hospital,
grumbled Catelyn inwardly.
Though reluctant, she handed her credit card to the nurse.
“I’m sorry, but there isn’t enough balance in your card,” said the nurse curtly after a few moments. “Do you have
another card?”
‘No balance?’ Catelyn’s eyes widened as she remembered that she had recently applied for an extracurricular class
for the twins, which cost her a great sum of money.
“If you can’t pay, then I’m going to have to cancel all bookings you have after this.” The nurse glanced at Catelyn
and moved her mouse to cancel the booking for the VIP room.
Catelyn pulled out a universal black card and slid it across the counter toward the nurse. “Hang on. Use this one.”
The payment of over 10000 Eiro went through, and Catelyn received the receipt in return. She stared at it and felt
even more agitated.

She came close to using the money David had given her, but Cedrick seemed to visibly loathe him, so she decided
to use the black card she received from Cedrick instead. She would have to work extremely hard to repay him in
the future.
Cedrick’s bleeding had ceased, and he then received a shot for tetanus for good measures, so he slowly began to
regain consciousness. He immediately searched around the room for Catelyn as soon as he
woke up.
Did she actually leave, despite how severe my injury is? Is her heart made of stone?’
His expression darkened as he lifted the blanket to get out of bed. Catelyn came out of the washroom just in time to
see Cedrick up, looking for slippers.
