All Her Secrets

Chapter 437 Something Was Wrong

In the face of Branden’s inquiry, Catherine casually glanced at him and gave a cold reply.

“Wait until you survive the remaining week!”novelbin

The implicit meaning was that if he couldn’t even endure the training camp, then there would be nochance for anything else.

Branden silently chuckled.

What else could he do? He had offended her back then due to his ignorance. Now, it was generous ofCatherine to give him a chance. If he didn’t cherish it, he would probably not even have the opportunityto meet her again.

“Rest for a while. I’ll head out!”

After saying that, Branden stood up and left the room. Everyone had their own private space. As thehead of the Duncans, Branden had countless matters waiting for him to handle every day.

Catherine didn’t find it strange at all that he left. She continued to play games, not worrying that theother trainees outside would slack off because she wasn’t there.

The people she wanted to train had to be the cream of the crop. If they lacked self-control and neededher to supervise them, they only deserved to be eliminated.

After leaving, Branden hurried towards his own dormitory. Halfway there, he encountered Paxton.

Paxton had always been by his side. Even though Branden’s expression was calm, Paxton could stillsense something was off. He immediately quickened his pace and arrived at Branden’s side,supporting his arm.

“Sir, are you alright?”

Branden pushed his hand away and chose to walk independently.

“We will talk when we get to the dorm!”

Paxton didn’t dare to support him any longer and immediately called the medical team.

The effects of the medication should have worn off an hour ago, but Branden had endured until now.Paxton didn’t even dare to imagine how painful it would be.

Paxton closely followed Branden into the dormitory.

The moment the dormitory door closed, Branden couldn’t bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground.At the last moment, before his eyes closed, he gave Paxton a final instruction.

“Don’t let Catherine find out!”

Paxton hesitated, but he didn’t dare to disobey Branden’s command. The only thing he could do wasnod. Ever since Branden left Catherine’s dormitory in the morning, she hadn’t seen him again.

As a reward for training, he was allowed to rest for a day. Even if he disappeared for a whole day, itwas acceptable.

Therefore, Catherine didn’t go looking for him. Instead, she went to the training ground alone toprepare for the afternoon training session.

Jon stood by. As time went by, he was becoming more and more impressed with Anon. Anon’s abilitieswere indeed formidable. Ordinary people were no match for him.

Jon had a question these past few days. He wanted to ask Anon but felt a bit embarrassed. Today’straining was the perfect opportunity to bring it up.

“Mr. Anon, do you know Branden?” Jon asked. Catherine thought that everyone could tell that she wasfamiliar with Branden. She didn’t expect Jon to ask such a boring question.

Although it was uninteresting, Catherine still answered him. Jon’s gaze at Catherine instantly turnedsomewhat uneasy and sympathetic.

Catherine didn’t know what was wrong with this guy. She had to train them and didn’t have time to chatwith him. Jon watched Catherine’s figure receding into the distance and silently felt heartbroken. Hedidn’t expect Anon to be interested in men!

Although Anon’s figure seemed delicate, he was still a man after all. In Jon’s mind, images of Brandenbeing intimate with Anon flashed, causing him to shudder involuntarily.

The world had indeed changed. Gender was no longer an obstacle. After the afternoon training ended,Catherine still hadn’t seen any trace of Branden.

It had been half a day since she last saw him. Was he really planning to wait until tomorrow to showup?

Catherine decided to go check on the situation.

The dormitory Branden stayed at was behind the training ground, and it only took Catherine fiveminutes to walk there.

However, when she arrived at the dormitory, she saw that it was empty and tidy. It seemed thatBranden hadn’t returned to the dormitory.

Catherine furrowed her brows, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart. After leaving the dormitory, sheimmediately took out her phone and dialed Rodge’s number.

“Rodge, I need information about a reagent!”

Five minutes later, Catherine received the information sent by Rodge. The document had a dozenpages, but it only took her two minutes to skim through it. After reading it, Catherine immediatelyheaded to the island’s hospital.

Every day, injuries occurred on the island. Getting injured during training was a common occurrence.The equipment in the hospital here was more advanced than that of some top- tier hospitals. WhenCatherine arrived at the hospital, she saw Paxton standing at the entrance.

Paxton’s eyes lit up when he saw Catherine’s arrival. This time, she couldn’t blame him. After all, shehad come on her own, and it had nothing to do with him.

Paxton hurriedly walked towards Catherine. With no one around, he called her by her name. “MissSwann, why are you here?”

Catherine looked at Paxton coldly and said in a cold voice, “Where is Branden?

Paxton felt as if he was being scolded by Branden due to Catherine’s icy attitude. He subconsciouslytensed up.

“He’s being treated inside.”

Looking at the closed door of the examination room, Catherine pushed Paxton away and barged in.

The room was filled with doctors who had come for a consultation. Catherine’s sudden arrival startledeveryone, and their eyes focused on her.

Catherine was still dressed in her disguise. Someone recognized her as Anon and saluted her.

“Mr. Anon, this is the examination room. Please wait outside.”

Catherine ignored their advice and walked straight towards the hospital bed. Someone tried to stop her,but Catherine gave them a cold glance.

Her icy and ruthless gaze made the person shudder, and they silently stepped back, not daring to stopCatherine anymore.

Standing by the bedside, Catherine saw Branden lying there motionless, his eyes closed. It seemedthat the situation was worse than she had imagined. Catherine turned to the oldest doctor in a whitecoat standing beside her.

“What’s the current situation?”

The old doctor didn’t recognize Catherine. He had just been transferred from the Arbotte Base and hadonly been here for a few hours. Although he didn’t know Catherine’s identity, seeing that no one on theisland dared to stop her, he didn’t dare to refuse her directly.

He looked up at Paxton, seeking his opinion.

After getting Paxton’s approval, the old doctor explained the situation to Catherine.

“It’s getting worse. There is too little clinical trial data on the reagent. Besides, Mr. Duncan had severeinjuries and was given double the dosage…”

Catherine raised her head assertively, interrupting the old doctor’s rambling and directly stating herultimate goal.

“Tell me, what is the worst-case scenario!”

That was what she wanted to know!
