Chapter 550

"Don't move," warned Cedrick in a hoarse voice.

Catelyn listened to his heartbeat and felt the sudden urge to cry as she recalled all the sweet moments they shared in the past.

Her eyes reddened as a lone teardrop fell. She frantically tried to dry her eyes by blinking rapidly and forcing a teasing tone, saying, "You sure seem relaxed considering the fact that we're being chased. I feel like those people are aiming at you."

Cedrick did not respond.
