All Her Secrets

Chapter 326

Chapter 326 So Powerful

The reason Erick said there was not a single good person among the Winfreds dated back to therelationship between Xavier and Erick’s mother many years ago.

While the Winfreds had wealth, it had dwindled in Xavier’s father’s time. To revive the Winfreds, Xaviermarried Jeremy’s mother and used her family’s money and his business skills to turn the Winfred Groupinto a successful company.

Erick’s mother and Xavier were originally college sweethearts. However, they separated after graduating.When they met again later, Xavier lied about being married and got back together with Erick’s mother.

When Jeremy’s mother found out about Erick mother’s pregnancy, she confronted them.

As a result, Erick’s mother had a tough delivery and passed away shortly after giving birth to Erick.

To prevent Jeremy’s mother’s family from withdrawing their investment, Xavier abandoned Erick and lefthim to be cared for by his grandparents.

Erick’s grandparents were devastated by their daughter’s sudden death, and their health declined. Withina few years, they passed away, leaving Erick as an orphan who was eventually sent to an orphanage.

Erick spoke monotonously about his past as if he were telling an unrelated story. His expressionremained cold as he locked eyes with Catherine.

“What good can my father, who abandoned me long ago, expect from me now?”

The bitterness in his look showed how cold Erick’s heart was. After listening to his story, Catherineremained composed.

Her expression lacked both mockery and sympathy because she was used to. hardships, which madeErick’s story seem ordinary to her. She then asked her second question, Wanna leave?”novelbin

Erick hesitated for a moment, then looked at Catherine with a mocking expression. “I have no value left,will you help me?” Catherine narrowed her eyes at him. ” Answer my question.”

Erick nodded without hesitation. “Yes!”

The Winfreds treated him unfairly, and his connection to Xavier was severed when Xavier abandonedhim. All he felt now was anger. If it weren’t for Jeremy’s mother, his own mother might still be alive.

He could have had a better childhood without all the suffering. His grandparents were well-educated andrefined people, and he could see from his mother’s photos that she was a kind woman.

Catherine grabbed her phone, dialed Ronin, and said, “Get the things ready. I’m bringing him with me.”

Then she ended the call. Erick had no idea what she was planning. He was weak and could only lie onthe bed, watching Catherine.

Catherine glanced around and spotted a wheelchair nearby. She wheeled it over and helped Erick ontoit. When everything was ready, her phone buzzed.

Catherine picked up the call, hearing Ronin’s breathless voice. “Catherine, I’ve distracted them. You’vegot three minutes to get to the entrance, and I’ll be there to pick you up. Hurry!”

Catherine spoke calmly, “Don’t worry, we have enough time.”

She pushed the wheelchair and headed straight out of the ward. Instead of taking the elevator, shechose the stairs.

There were five floors between here and the ground floor. Erick was too weak to walk, and even if hetried, he wouldn’t reach the entrance in three minutes, let alone thirty.

He didn’t understand why Catherine was so confident in her words. Catherine wheeled Erick over to thestaircase railing. She opened her arms, preparing to lift Erick and place him on the railing. With a raisedeyebrow and a curious look, she asked, “You ok?”

Erick grasped Catherine’s plan the moment he saw the staircase railing. He knew she was trulydetermined to get him out of there. Without hesitation, he nodded and said, “I’m ok.”

Giving it a try wouldn’t hurt. Seeing Erick’s determined expression, Catherine couldn’t help but smile. Shewhispered, “Don’t worry, you won’t die.

Without further ado, she grabbed Erick and swiftly jumped off the railing. Taking advantage of the railing’sslick surface, they slid down the stairs one after the other.

The whole thing felt like an exciting roller coaster. Erick was weak, and his senses were dull, making theexhilarating sensation even more intense. His innate fear was amplified, making him feel even morevulnerable than usual.

As they descended from the fifth floor, their combined weight without protection meant they would likelyget hurt.

Erick knew even if he didn’t get killed by this, he would probably break several ribs. Closing his eyes, hebraced himself for the pain.

“Thud!”

A sound echoed, but the expected pain didn’t follow. Even though they still bumped into something, itwasn’t too hard, and the pain didn’t last long.

In a moment of confusion, Erick opened his eyes and saw Catherine flipping herself over gracefully andlanding without a hitch.

She had also managed to pull him down effortlessly. Despite Erick’s tall and lean stature, he still weighedquite a bit. However, Catherine skillfully handled him, and what amazed Erick the most was that neitherof them get hurt.

Pulling off such a feat required immense arm strength. Erick silently looked at Catherine, focusing on herslim arms. It was difficult to believe that her slender and delicate arms could be so incredibly strong.

“Hey, hey!”

Catherine’s stern voice snapped Erick back from his thoughts, leaving him puzzled as he looked at her.Without a word, Catherine took his arm and quickly led him away.

When they reached the hospital entrance, a black car sped towards them. Catherine swiftly opened thecar door and pushed Erick inside, following right behind him.

Before the car door had even shut completely, Ronin revved the engine and accelerated.

“Catherine, you did it in just two minutes and thirty-eight seconds, faster than expected!” Ronin’senthusiastic voice revealed his excitement. He was clearly thrilled with how quickly Catherine was..

“Those idiot guards are probably still stuck in the bathroom. They might not have even realized whathappened!” Ronin added.

Compared to Ronin’s excitement, Catherine remained composed. She simply advised, “Focus ondriving!”

Ronin calmed down and concentrated on driving. Erick sat in the back seat, silently watching the two ofthem. In his chilly gaze, there was a touch of admiration.

He liked their teamwork, and the trust between them.
