All Her Secrets



Chapter 980 It Would Be Someone Else

Rylan surrendered voluntarily, saving Catherine a lot of trouble.

Since this was a big issue, there was a special department to coordinate with Catherine, and even the security service came.

Rylan requested to speak to Catherine before being taken away, and Catherine agreed.

Seeing Rylan standing in front of her, Catherine was somewhat emotional.

They used to be very good friends. She didn't expect that one day she would personally send him to prison.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, there wasn't much emotion on her face, but Rylan seemed to understand her expression.

She spoke slowly, her voice cold and deep. "Why?"

Rylan glanced at her and then looked up at the sky. It might be difficult for him to have the opportunity to see the sky again in the future.

It was a long time before he gave his answer. "If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else."

Catherine froze. She didn't say anything after that.

If it hadn't been him to do this, it could have been someone else, and that person would only be more cruel. Rylan glanced back at Catherine one last time. "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself and the baby."

This was the first time he had ever been this verbose in front of Catherine because this could be the last time they saw each other.

Looking at Rylan's departing back, Catherine couldn't resist in the end. She stopped the chief in charge of Rylan's case and handed him the bottle of medicine she had prepared inside her pocket, saying, "Please give him one if he's suffering. He's sick and this is medicine."

Catherine's status was special, and that chief nodded his head in agreement when he saw Catherine's prudent instructions. "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

After that, Catherine rushed back to the hospital.

At the entrance of the ward, Catherine saw the waiting Karl.

Seeing her appear, Karl immediately went forward and stretched out to support her with his hands. Startled, Catherine stumbled and took a few steps back. "Mr. Karl, thanks, but you don't need to help me. I can walk by myself."

Karl was old and didn't have the strength to support others with his hands.

Karl, however, had a calm and natural expression on his face. "You're different now. You're not alone. You should be more careful. Hurry, take a seat here."

'I'll go into the ward and take a look," Catherine said. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Seeing that she was eager to enter, knowing that she was worried about Branden, Karl didn't stop her.

It was just that he kept urging Catherine to be careful. His cautious expression was funny.

Catherine pushed open the ward slowly and walked in. In the quiet ward, only the sound of machines operating could be heard.

The man on the hospital bed had his eyes tightly closed, his pale handsome face made Catherine feel distressed. Catherine looked at him closely and said slowly, "I really want to beat you up, you bad boy."

Seeing that he was not properly covered, Catherine bent down to help him. As soon as she covered the quilt on Branden's chest, she noticed that the man seemed to react.

Just as she was about to stand up and check, she was held in his arms. "You look so angry. Why don't you beat me up first to relieve your anger?"

"Hmph." Catherine grunted coldly in dissatisfaction, "Beating you up won't relieve my anger. I'll teach you a lesson when you're better."

Hearing this, Branden's handsome face revealed a hint of a smile.

He gently stroked Catherine's belly. Her belly was not yet bulging, but he seemed to be able to feel the power of life, and his heartbeat inexplicably faster. "Has he been good today?"

That made Catherine want to laugh. "Why are you being silly now? He's only been three months and he's the size of a finger. What do you think he knows?"

The baby in her belly was at best an embryo now, not even fully developed and not yet knowing anything.

She found Branden's remark hilarious.
