Chapter 1721 Next Step Plan
Ivan walked past her and headed straight for the king's bedroom.
Claire took a step out of the palace, silently praying that everything would go smoothly inside.
Ivan came to the door and reached out to grasp the door handle, but found that the door was locked.
His brows furrowed and his expression darkened, extremely unhappy.
The door was locked by Catherine. She didn't want Ivan to come in.
And Ivan guessed that it was her who locked it.
In fact, this made it even more convenient for Jennifer to operate. She just needed to hand over the
medicine, which was extremely easy.novelbin
In the luxurious bed, the king was lying flat, covered with a quilt. His labored breathing could be heard
from far away, and his body must be very uncomfortable.
"Bertie." Catherine hurried to the bedside and sat down, grabbing his hand. She hadn't seen him for a
while and missed him very much.
"Bertie, can you hear me? It's Catherine, your wife. I came to see you." Her voice was sincere.
"You came..." Although the king's voice was weak, his words were still gentle. Perhaps he wanted to
see her too.
Catherine couldn't help but feel her nose sour as tears welled up in her eyes. "Can you open your eyes
and look at me?"
The king slowly opened his eyes.
The woman said in tears, "Actually, I've always wanted to come see you, but was afraid of making you
angry and making your condition worse, so..."
This woman was full of contradictions.
Jennifer let go of Ivan's hand and went straight to Rowan's side, inconspicuously slipping the medicine
bottle from her pocket into his hand.
Rowan cooperated and naturally put it in his pocket after taking it.
There were five bottles of medicine in total. Catherine was completely focused on the king at this
moment and did not notice their actions at all.
The whole process was extremely tacit between the two. Their eyes did not meet at all. It was clean
and efficient.
The first handover was complete and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
The king and Catherine chatted for about five minutes. Then, as if suddenly remembering something,
Catherine said to him, "Oh, Mr. Marsh's wife is here. She heard that you were ill and wanted to come
see you."
It was Rowan's master. The king knew him and saw another ray of hope. He was very grateful to this
young lady in his heart.
"Mm." The king's gaze slowly moved away from her.
At this time, Jennifer also walked over. She stood in front of the bed and met the king's eyes. "Your
Majesty." She greeted politely.
When the king first saw this young lady, he felt that she was very kind.
His eyes were full of gratitude towards her. "Mm." He nodded weakly, then looked at the queen, "Treat
her well."
"Yes." Catherine said to him, "Taylor has been wanting to see you these days, but has been stopped
outside the palace by Ivan several times..." Her tone was gentle, but she was actually tattling.
"You have to understand." Although the king also missed his son very much, the bigger picture should
be prioritized now. "I'm not feeling well and won't be able to chat with him for long either. If I ask about
his studies, he doesn't like it."
"I know, he just wants to see you... He's been studying hard recently."
"No need." The king sighed lightly, "Leaving him with a strong and mighty healthy impression is also my
wish. Please explain it to him."
"Okay." Catherine could understand too.
"I'm tired. You should all go out now." The king said weakly, then closed his eyes. "We'll talk about
building the castle another day."
Catherine bent down and, in front of everyone, placed a deep but fleeting kiss on his forehead. Then
she slowly got up, let go of his hand, and stood up.
The king closed his eyes. Catherine looked at Ivan regretfully and sadly said, "Mr. Marsh, let's go."
Ivan nodded, put his arm around his wife's shoulders, and led her towards the door.
Catherine followed after.
Ivan standing guard outside the door heard the sound of the door opening but was not nervous or
dodging. He just stood outside the door like a guardian deity.
When Ivan and Jennifer came out, Jennifer's gaze swept over Ivan again. Yes, this physique and
appearance was the person Mr. Adams had mentioned.
There was no doubt the murderer was him.
The next step was to make him reveal his true nature. She and Ivan also had a more detailed plan,
which was why she had come.
