Chapter 1001

Catelyn forced herself to calm down as she met Cedrick's eyes with her own, though brimming with tears.

Catelyn stared at Cedrick as she yelled, "If you think my sadness is just to hide my guilt, then tell me: How can I not think about our deceased child whenever I look into your eyes? Even though it was just an embryo that hasn't taken shape, I still have nightmares every day, dreaming that they'd come and ask why I didn't want them!"

"Is that so?" Catelyn could not help but question that.

Cedrick's face changed sharply, and his eyes narrowed. "What did you say?"
