Chapter 145: Family... a sweet poison
Ch-144
Reaching the hospital, Cedric fretted whether he could face Mason or not. He was the main reason for his misery. And now that woman returned bringing misery into their lives.
Eleanor noticed the abnormal behavior of Cedric. She knew something was off with everyone from the time Nathaira came. But she knew she shouldn’t care about the things in the past. The most important thing right now for her was... to believe Cedric. She was once stupid but not anymore.
"Did you forget something in the car? Do you want me to pick it up for you?" she asked, holding his hand.
"No, nope," he replied.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s check on him," she said as she led him ahead.
Indeed, what was he waiting for? The one who was suffering from the pain and agony was one of his brothers. How could he leave him alone? Since... he was the reason for his misery, then he has to be the one to remove that misery. And more importantly, he has the woman he loved by his side.
Holding her hand tight, he walked ahead. They waited outside the ward for almost an hour before the doctor came outside.
"How is he?" they asked.
"Alcohol poisoning. We did the treatment and cleaned his stomach. You brought him here at the right time, if not it would be hard for us to save him. He passed out due to exhaustion and is on sedatives. He will wake up tomorrow morning," the doctor said before he left with the nurse.
Everyone heaved a sigh after hearing him.
"Edward, know why she is back," Cedric said before he walked away. Edward was going to do that even if he didn’t ask him. Because he wasn’t getting any good vibes from her.
