All Her Secrets

Catherine shook her head at the chief attendant. “No need to prepare the equipment. Just take me there!”
The chief attendant thought that Catherine and her group should have brought their own equipment after he saw the silver box in
Withal’s hand. Without much hesitation, the chief attendant took Catherine to the patient.
There were already more than thirty infected patients in the entire palace.
In order to allow capable and talented individuals to have a clear understanding of the situation, the palace chose a member of
the royal family with the lowest status and the most humble identity. This member was used as the object of being diagnosed.
To put it bluntly, they were making this royal family member by the name of Bert, a lab rat.
After all, no one knew now whether this situation was caused by a disease or a virus. Or else, as some supernatural figures
claimed, the royal family had been cursed.
Catherine was brought to Bert, who sat weakly in his wheelchair. With a pale face, he looked in a very bad situation. He was like
a dying man.
After observing him for a moment, Catherine made a request.
“I need to take a tube of his blood for lab tests!”
The chief attendant responded immediately, “Is one tube of blood enough?”
Catherine glanced at Bert’s arms. They were covered in pinholes of all sizes. It seemed like Bert had already had his blood taken
many times.
As a lab rat, he must have suffered inhuman treatment. Catherine glanced coldly at the chief attendant. “Judging from his
situation, how many tubes of blood do you think I can take from him?”
Hearing the mocking meaning in Catherine’s words, the chief attendant did not say anything more. With a faint smile, he stepped
back.
Withal opened the silver case. There was not much inside the case, only a piece of very simple lab equipment.
This seemingly simple equipment was made by Catherine herself. Catherine placed the blood sample on the equipment for
testing.

The lab data from the equipment was connected to the Arbotte Laboratory. Within minutes, Rodge would forward the analyzed
report to Catherine.
While waiting for the results, Catherine began to carefully examine Bert’s condition again. She asked several questions.
The main reason some people said this bizarre illness was someone’s curse on the royal family was because all the people
infected were members of the royal family. The disease was only spread between members of the royal family, and non-royal
members would not develop it even if they had close contact with the infected members.
After asking a few simple questions, Catherine was ready to leave. She had gotten the sample she wanted, and she had also
seen the symptoms.
Although she knew medical theory, she was not a doctor. So, there was no way for her of checking the patient with the ways of
diagnosis. Her specialty was in research.
Now, all she needed to do was bring the blood sample back for testing. Catherine took off her gloves, and Withal immediately
began to pack up.
Those who had been waiting to see what shocking actions Catherine would take were all dumbfounded. She actually started
packing her things to leave just after taking the blood sample.
That was all?
Finally, someone could not hold back and shouted in Catherine’s direction, ” Dr. to leave just like that? Are you worthy of the
money the king paid you?”
The chief attendant stood aside and did not say anything. Catherine was an expert that the king had spent a lot of effort to hire.
They could not afford to offend her.
Although they could not afford to offend her, they could not do much and control the situation before it got too big.
When someone started to stir up, there was someone to respond.
For a moment, the people present began to talk about Catherine.
Withal was furious. These people actually dared to talk about Catherine like that. Did these people really think Catherine was
someone they could mess with?

Before Withal could do something, Branden, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
“Have you finished your words?”
His words carried a powerful majesty, instantly shocking all the people present. Everyone’s gaze turned toward Branden,
standing next to Catherine. In the next second, they were all shocked by Branden’s sharp gaze.
This man’s aura was too powerful. His body exuded a hint of a king’s demeanor, which made people dare not easily offend him.
As for the first person to question Catherine, after being stared at by Branden, he was so scared that he choked on his own
saliva. He coughed violently in confusion.
This unusual scene made the chief attendant once again notice Branden standing next to Catherine. He could guarantee that
this man was definitely more than simply an assistant.
As for the reason why he was disguised as Dr. Sugar’s assistant, the chief attendant did not know yet.
Under Branden’s powerful aura, the questioning voices around disappeared.
Catherine led her group, strutting out of the main hall.
No one present noticed that in the dark corner behind the main hall, there was a pair of fierce eyes staring at everything with a
cold light.
This person was mainly focused on Catherine.
Staring at Catherine’s back, the person said in a low voice, “Dr. Sugar, I finally got you!”
Catherine and her group did not accept the palace’s arrangement of accommodation. They chose to continue living in the
Duncans’ villa in Ravenloth.
Everything there was specially designed by Branden to Catherine’s liking.
No matter how good the palace was, it could not make Catherine feel as comfortable as she was staying there.
Besides, the things Branden had prepared for her were by no means inferior to those in the palace.

After Catherine arrived at the villa, she changed her lazy state from the previous two days. She did not even sit on the sofa for a
while before rushing straight upstairs.
On the attic of the top floor, there was a laboratory that Withal had temporarily built out. It was exclusively for Catherine’s use in
doing research.
When Catherine was doing research, no one could disturb her. Even Branden could not go upstairs to disturb her.
An afternoon passed, and they did not hear any noise coming from upstairs.
Catherine missed two meals.
Paxton realized that Branden had no intention of going upstairs to ask Catherine to have some food.
That was something strange!
According to Branden’s concern for Catherine, not to mention that she did not have any food for two meals, she could make this
always calm big shot frown even by taking a few bites less. After a long hesitation, Paxton decided to ask Branden.
After all, serving Branden’s future wife was one of Paxton’s tasks.
“Mr. Duncan, do you need the kitchen to prepare a little of Miss Swann’s favorite food and send it upstairs?”
Hearing the inquiry, Branden put down the work in his hands. He raised his eyes to Paxton. “Just have the kitchen prepare it and
keep it warm. No one is going upstairs!”
Not to mention the top floor attic, in order not to affect Catherine, everyone was not even allowed to enter the second floor.
To create a quiet and comfortable environment for Catherine, Branden was even working directly in the living room.
Withal was leaning over and studying ” The Ten Tortures” on his cell phone. After hearing the conversation between Branden and
Paxton, he could not help but give Branden a thumbs up in his heart.
Branden really knew Catherine well enough. At that time, not to mention delivering food, even if the world was destroyed, no one
could go and disturb Catherine.
Catherine could not bear to be disturbed when concentrating on her research. Withal had gotten used to it after so many years of
following Catherine.

Anyway, when it was time, Catherine would naturally go downstairs. They did not need to worry about her at all.
