Chapter 864
Ezekiel smiled and waved his hand to Catelyn and Cedrick, gesturing to them that he could go by himself.
Cedrick frowned. 'Am I that scary?'
His eyes met Catelyn’s, and she shrugged helplessly.
Stella burst into tears when she saw Ezekiel. She cried so woefully as she held him tight, not wanting to lose him again.
Catelyn, who was outside the ward with Cedrick, would occasionally wipe her tears.
With Cedrick around, however, Stella and Ezekiel were restrained from expressing their true feelings, hence their
awkward behavior soon after. They both seemed afraid of Cedrick.
Perhaps that was because Catelyn did not have a chance to explain to Stella that the one who injured her was someone
else.
Cedrick suddenly handed her a key.
The shape of the key was familiar to Catelyn.

"The key to Clark Mansion." Cedrick explained succinctly, "I was thinking about where Ezekiel could live when he
came back, and after thinking
about it for a long time, he won’t be at peace in the Atherton Manor or the Mason Estate all the time. So, the place
that is full of your childhood memories came to my mind, and I bought it without hesitation."
Catelyn clasped a hand over her mouth in shock. Ignoring the presence of the two children, she quickly kissed him
on the lips.
"Oh, honey, you're so endearing. Wasn't it auctioned by the court four years ago? You must've spent a lot to buy it,
didn’t you?"
"I raised the price for the owner, so they have no reason not to sell it to me, ' Cedrick said with a hint of male
chauvinism, enjoying Catelyn's affectionate approach.
The depression of being despised by Ezekiel also disappeared in his mind.
"I was also thinking about this before. I just reunited with my grandma and took my two children to live with her in
Atherton Manor. It's impossible to live in my grandmother's house for a long time because it's not fair to the other
juniors of the Atherton family. I didn't expect you would buy the Clark Mansion back for us!"
Cedrick suddenly changed his tone and said with displeasure, "Are you going to move the two children to the Clark
Mansion?"
He thought she would go back to the Mason Estate with him after all of that.
"That's the last plan." Catelyn raised her eyes and said with seriousness,' Grandma's hatred of the Mason family is
still strong. If she insists on US breaking up, I'll find an excuse to move in with my father, and we'll then find another
way to be together. She's old, and the Atherton family isn't harmonious. I don't want to be too harsh to stimulate
her. Of course, the best thing is to change my grandmother's mindset.”
Cedrick was pleased when he learned that Catelyn cared about their future and was actually working toward it.
He would solve every other problem for her as long as she stood by his side and supported him.
He then pulled her into his arms and gave a gentle, warm kiss on her cold forehead.
Catelyn’s heartbeat was accelerated by such sudden surprise. She wound an arm around his neck and hugged him

Cedrick investigated the origin of the genetic illness. It was a curse that Draco had sought for himself and his
descendants.
Many years ago, Draco cheated on Sylvie and later abandoned her for another woman. However, when he found out that
the woman he cheated
on Sylvie for had taken part in a scandal that was targeting the Smith family, Draco decided to make a clean break with
that woman and marry the daughter whom his family sought.
Unexpectedly, the woman poisoned Draco due to hatred of his betrayal, but at that time, things did not go as she
planned. Draco failed to eat the poisonous food, instead, his sons ate it by mistake, and the poison has been passed
down the lineage from his son's generation since then.
It was not until Cedrick's generation, the third generation, that the Mason family had barely obtained restraint drugs for
the inherited disease.
Recently, however, there had been signs of a rebound effect due to disease mutation.
That was why, in the lineage of Draco, Cedrick was his only grandson left.
