Chapter 552
"Good." Cedrick's eyes landed on the grassy ground to their right. "When I count to three, jump
out of the car. Try landing on the grass; it'll minimize the impact."
Catelyn nodded obediently, knowing that Cedrick's instructions were out of desperation and
concern.
As the car continued moving forward and the time for Catelyn to jump got closer, she froze as if
she realized something.
"What about you?"
"I'll be okay." Cedrick's jaw tightened, his expression cold. "Remember what I said: timing is key.
Cover your head with your hands when you jump, and run to the town immediately. They won't

Catelyn, however, ignored his words as her eyes reddened with tears.
"Aren't you jumping with me?! "
"They're looking for me. If I jump with you, they'll catch up to us right away. If I stay in the car, they might not
notice you, and you'll be safe."
In other words, Cedrick planned to stay in the car to buy her more time.
"No!" Catelyn burst out in tears and wailed, "I'm their target, and I'm also the person they kidnapped from the
beginning! You got dragged into this because of me, so how can I abandon you to save my life? If you're not
jumping, neither am 1!"
"I drove all the way here just so you could jump, and you're telling me that you're not jumping?" Cedrick uttered
hoarsely.
Droplets of tears rained from Catelyn's eyes as she whimpered, "You... You knew there was something wrong with
the brakes, didn't you?"
Cedrick's lips pursed tightly together.
Every car from Mason Estate had the same system, and Cedrick was more than familiar with all of them.
He knew that there was something wrong with the car the moment he got into the car, but he had no choice. He
had to take Catelyn away as their pursuers' cars nearly caught up to them.
"Insane! You're insane! If you knew the car was damaged, why would you even drive it in the first place? Are you
trying to get yourself killed?! " cried Catelyn. Her head throbbed at the realization.
"If killing myself means you get to survive from this, then it'll all be worth it," Cedricksaid laughingly.
"No! I'm not abandoning you!" Catelyn shrieked as she broke down upon hearing that.
"You're the one who wanted to break up with me, and you're the one who said you never want to see me ever
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmagain. Now's your chance."
"Not like this! I want you alive, Cedrick Mason. I want you to live—do you hear me?!"
Cedrick ignored her as he leaned over to open the car door for her.
The bone-chilling wind blew from outside, and it felt as though Catelyn's body was being pulled
out of the car.
Catelyn grabbed tightly onto his sleeve, refusing to let go. "We'll jump together, it'll be okay!
They won't catch up to us so soon!"
Cedrick turned his head, only to find her eyes brimming with tears.
Worry, regret, distress; her eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions.
Cedrick smirked. "Why now? Sad to see me go?"
"Yes, d*mn it! I never wanted you to die!"
Even though she did put a dagger on his neck, that was just to get him to let her go.
"I owed it to you, so this is me paying you back with my life..." said Cedrick, his voice sounding
solemn and meaningful.
