Chapter 854
Though Cedrick interrupted Catelyn's contemplation, she did not want to assert unnecessary thoughts toward him.
Everyone could have a little secret.
’If you want to tell me, I'll listen. If you don't, I'll respect your decision."
After all, it was already a fact that Stella was injured in the accident. Catelyn, however, believed something else was at
play.
Otherwise, he would not have taken her to the accident center so confidently and asked for a video that was unfavorable
to him to be investigated. That would put him in great danger and make him the biggest suspect in the case he was the
culprit.
Cedrick stopped. There was not only Catelyn in his eyes, dazzling like stars, but also bitterness and self-deprecation.

It was precisely because he was at his toughest and weakest when the disease attacked that he did not want to let
Catelyn see that side of him, discover his emotional fragility, or even love him out of mere sympathy.
Although Catelyn did not know what happened to him, she felt that he was preoccupied by sadness at the moment.
’Come rain or shine, I'll always be by your side.’ She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, warming
his body with hers.
In Catelyn's eyes, Cedrick had the kind of appearance that would get more attractive the more one got along with
him. He had such a sharp nose, a striking profile, and sexy lips. Under the dim moonlight which blurred his jawline,
Cedrick looked like an angel who fell from heaven.
She raised her head and stared at that handsome man while he inadvertently looked at her and steadily
approached her cheek-
Screech!
A sharp braking sound came from the side of the road, coming from a motorbike. Although not loud nor irritating, it
still attracted the attention of the two.
Catelyn turned to look toward the motorcycle unwittingly and saw the rider swearing at a pitiful puppy laying in
front of the bike.
The puppy was probably a stray. Its ears fell at the sides of its face as it kept one of its legs raised, looking injured.
There was a lot of dirt on its milky white fur, too.
The rider had disappeared when Catelyn tried to search for him again.
Frowning, she crossed the road and ran toward the puppy, much to Cedrick's surprise. Fortunately, the rain was
light, and only a few droplets had fallen on her head and face when he reached her side.
Catelyn squatted in front of the puppy, noting that it probably was not weaned yet. She then carefully lifted it.

"Aww..." She ruffled its wet fur pitifully.
She used to have pets until she had to take care of Miles and was too busy to take care of her pets.
At that moment, she was moved by the puppy's adorable but sorrowful eyes.
Cedrick looked at the puppy in her arms and the bloodstain on her cloth with disgust, frowning. "It must be an
abandoned mongrel. Look at its fur color. Careful, I'm suspecting that it got some infectious disease. You better put it
down. I'll let someone handle it."
Ì think vets are still open at this hour. Let's take it there, shall we?’
Cedrick's eyebrows tightened even more. "I didn't know you like puppies.’
"I guess most girls like this kind of fluffy animal. Sadly, Grandma is allergic to animal fur, so I can't take it back to
Atherton Manor."
Catelyn felt rather dismayed, but her intention to treat the puppy's wound took priority as she said to Cedrick, "Hurry. I
know there's a vet nearby!"
