Chapter 69 How Do You Court Someone?

Cedric was taking a while as he refused to leave Mala’s side. “How could she be so cute even as she sleeps?”

Back in the living room, Baz and Dr. Moore kept looking at the stairway. The moment they saw Oswald, Baz rushed forward and asked, “How did it go? Did Mr. Cedric agree?”

Oswald nodded and both of them sigh with relief.

“You had me worried a second there. Mr. Cedric’s back suffered second–degree burns a year ago. He was lucky that it was in winter or else his wounds would’ve been worse. This time, he happened to have injured his back in summer. I’m worried that his new wound would cause inflammation!”

Dr. Moore has been the Larkin family’s doctor for many years and knew Cedric well. He could be as stubborn as a mule.

“How did Mr. Cedric hurt himself?” Oswald asked.

“It was to save Ms. Maia,” Baz answered truthfully.

“It was because of Ms. Maia again? Those burns were because of her too!”

Baz nodded. When he was about to continue, the sound of footsteps echoed in the room. Baz immediately snapped his mouth shut and looked toward the stairway.

Dr. Moore followed Baz’s gaze and noticed Cedric standing at the foot of the stairs.

“Mr. Cedric, let me dress your wound.”

Cedric nodded his head in approval as he took a seat on the couch. Dr. Moore swiftly checked his back and changed his bandages. He also made sure that there were no signs of

inflammation in his wound.

“Mr. Cedric, please try not to get your wound wet.”

Dr. Moore knew his advice was meaningless. However, he could not just leave it be.

“It’s summer, the risk of having an inflammation is higher. Your wound is very deep. Please be more careful!”

Cedric nodded absent–mindedly as he got up to leave. His shirt was not even buttoned up

properly.

He came to a halt in front of Baz. He looked at Baz and asked, “How do you court someone?”
