All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 596 Sweet Karl
Branden found Catherine in the hospital stairwell just after she had finished a call and was about to return.
"Have you found Mr. Theo?" the man inquired. Catherine nodded. "Got him on the phone. He's in Oceanvile. I'm planning to go there!"
Branden casually rejected Catherine's decision and said, "No need. I've arranged for Paxton to fetch him, bringing him back as quickly as possible."
He hadn't forgotten about the watchful young guy in Oceanvile. He wasn't willing to let Catherine go there.
Catherine was well aware of Paxton's capabilities. Since Branden had it all sorted out, she had no objections.
Alright, I'll go with your plan."
Seeing her agreement, a hint of joy appeared in the man's eyes. He gently took her hand, holding it securely.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. You've rushed all the way here; rest for a while."
By the time Catherine returned to the corridor of the hospital ward, Rachael and Liana were nowhere to be seen.
Audrey, seeing Catherine's appearance, took the initiative to explain. She said, " Mom said she had a headache, so Liana went with her to Grandma's house to rest."
Whether it was a genuine headache or just avoidance, only Rachael knew. Catherine didn't care whether Rachael was present or not. For her, spending time on irrelevant people was the most foolish thing in the world.
Branden answered a call and left, leaving only Catherine and Audrey in the corridor. After a long silence, Audrey couldn't hold back any longer. " Catherine, do you think Dad will die?"
Although Korbin had done many wrong things, he was still Audrey's father.
Unlike Catherine, who had been abandoned since childhood and naturally had no feelings for the Swanns, Audrey had grown up in the Swanns and had been doted on by Korbin when there was only one daughter in the Swanns.
She couldn't stand idly by and watch her father die in front of her despite his many wrongdoings.
With a nonchalant attitude but firm gaze, Catherine said in a light and convincing tone, "He won't."
Audrey didn't know if Catherine's words were true or just comforting. But after hearing Catherine say this, her heart settled, and she was all relieved." Kathy, you're right. Father will be fine. We must have faith!"
Catherine made no response, standing up. "He's in surgery; staying here won't help. If you want to stay, do so. I'll come over when Mr. Theo arrives."
Audrey looked at Catherine, who seemed tired, with concern. Her sister had just rushed over from Loxton and hadn't even had a drink of water.
With everything arranged but Mr. Theo, it was time for Catherine to rest for a while. "Alright, you quickly let Mr. Duncan take you back to rest. I'll stay in the hospital, and if there's anything, I'll notify everyone."
Catherine knew Audrey's personality well; she would choose to stay. So, from the beginning, Catherine had no intention of bringing her away.
"I'm leaving!" After waving to Audrey, Catherine turned around and left the hospital.
Branden had just finished his work and came out. Seeing her leaving quickly, he hastened his steps to catch up. " Ready to go back and rest?" he asked.
"Yeah." Catherine nodded slightly.
Branden suggested, "Let's go to the Duncans' old mansion. You can rest first, and we'll have dinner with Grandpa tonight."
Since learning of their return to Loxton, Karl had called dozens of times, wanting them to visit the old mansion.
Branden didn't immediately agree. Now that Catherine was planning to rest, he tentatively asked her.
Catherine didn't mind; with Branden around, no one dared to trouble her. "
Okay," she said.
After Catherine agreed, Branden led her back to the old mansion.
While upstairs, Karl heard the news from the servants that Branden's car had arrived at the door.
"Just him? Is Catherine here?" Karl immediately thought of Catherine.
The servant happily replied, "Yes, she's here. Both of them came together and are downstairs!"
Karl immediately got up, eager to greet them. His granddaughter-in-law was coming, and he naturally wanted to see her.
Simon followed behind. Seeing Karl rushing downstairs, he couldn't help but smile.
Only when Branden and Catherine came did Karl attach such importance.
Even when his son came back, there were times when Karl refused to meet him, let alone others.
When Catherine entered, she saw Karl hurrying downstairs. She politely greeted him. Karl's heart melted when he heard that.
His granddaughter-in-law was not only competent and beautiful but also filial. He liked her very much. Every time he went out, he showed off to his old friends, who all envied him.
"Catherine is here; take a seat. I've prepared the best rose liqueur for you. I'll let
the butler bring it out now," said Karl.

Ever since knowing that Catherine
liked to drink it, the old mansion not
only kept Branden's favorite coffee beans but also specially prepared Catherine's favorite rose liqueur so that she could have it whenever she wanted. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest

Branden was about to speak, but Catherine stopped him. Catherine glanced at
him, and Branden obediently stayed silent.
Seeing the interaction between the couple, Karl felt sweet as he sipped his
coffee. His grandson was notoriously tricky to handle, but now someone could
manage him.
Catherine knew what Branden meant; he wanted her to rest early. However, Karl cherished them so much. He even arranged her favorite drink. If she left like this,
wouldn't it hurt Karl's feelings?

After sitting with Karl for a while, the
old man took the initiative and said, You've been rushing all the way, you
"
NO must be tired. Go rest. The rooms are ready, and we'll call you for dinner later!" The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Although Karl was old, he was clear- headed. Nothing could escape his eyes.
After the two went upstairs, Simon dared to approach Karl and asked softly, "It's rare for them to come back. Why not let them accompany you more? Karl laughed lightly. "As long as they're at home, it's the same. The Swanns have had so many things happen. Catherine has a hard time. Let her rest more. Who
knows what else will happen next."

Hearing Karl's response, Simon joked
with him, saying, "In the world, only you spoil your granddaughter-in-law so much. She's not even officially
married into the Duncans, and you're pampering her like this!" The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Karl, instead of getting angry, admitted generously. He said, "She is such an
outstanding girl. If I don't spoil her a bit more, many people are probably outside
waiting to snatch her away!"
He felt that his grandson had done the best thing in his life by agreeing to the Swanns' arranged marriage.
