Chapter 468 Courage

At Casier Hospital. The car hadn’t even come to a halt when the man impatiently pushed the door open and got out of the car quickly. As soon as he got off, he immediately stretched his legs and strode toward the hospital.

Hurriedly, Paxton got out of the passenger seat and followed closely behind. Triston also followed them as he happened to be hanging out with Branden today.

Ten minutes ago, Branden got a call from Audrey. During the phone call, Audrey informed him that Catherine had been injured and was in the hospital.

Branden immediately left behind the negotiation with the oil prince who had traveled from the Middle Estria and hurried to the hospital.

Everyone was on edge right now, not knowing the actual condition of Catherine. On the phone, Audrey was crying and couldn’t speak properly. She just kept emphasizing for Branden to come quickly.

Branden didn’t say anything but just got up and left.

If something were to happen to Catherine, he might probably overthrow the entire city of Casier. The sound of hurried footsteps messed up the peacefulness in the treatment room.

Catherine was already getting a headache from Audrey’s nagging. Hearing these hurried footsteps just made her frown even more.

She looked up toward where the sound came from and saw Branden hurrying in. As soon as Branden walked in, his gaze was fixed on Catherine. At the next moment, his gaze shifted to Catherine’s injured arm.

The sight of bright red and fresh blood caused a sharp sting in his eyes. Instantly, his handsome face darkened, and the surrounding vibe plummeted in the blink of an eye.

Branden suppressed the emotions about to explode inside him and spoke in a low voice. “What the heck is going on here?”

He went straight up and stood next to Catherine. Before Catherine could say a word, the doctor on the side spoke up first.

“Are you the patient’s family member? Please wait outside, as we are about to perform a stitching procedure. You are not allowed to be here!”

Branden suddenly lifted his head, casting a cold gaze at the doctor. The gaze scared the doctor so much that he trembled all over. He had been in the profession for many years and had never seen such terrifying eyes.

As soon as he picked up the forceps, they fell instantly, causing his shoulders to shake in shock. Upon seeing this scene, the hospital director, Rhys, was almost frightened to his knees. He quickly went forward, pulled the doctor behind him, and respectfully bowed to Branden.

“Mr. Duncan, sorry for the inconvenience. This doctor doesn’t know you. Apologies, and please forgive us.”

At that moment, Branden’s eyes couldn’t contain anything else. His gaze was tightly fixed on Catherine, with a hint of sorrow revealed.

Catherine observed all of this.

Seeing the foolish demeanor of Branden, she couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. She casually sized him up with a relaxed posture and joked, “Are you going to handle the wound, or do you want my blood to run dry?”

The simple sentence instantly calmed down the man who was on the verge of erupting like a volcano.

Branden turned around to look at Rhys, who was standing behind him. He ordered with a very serious expression, “Arrange the best doctor with excellent skills immediately. Ensure no scars and minimal pain.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When Rhys saw the hot-tempered big shot being so anxious and caring for someone else for the first time, he immediately knew how important that wounded woman was, so he didn’t dare to delay even for a moment.

Rhys cautiously lifted his head and nervously looked at Branden.

“Mr. Duncan, Dr. Pierce Presley here is the best surgeon in our hospital. His suturing skills are amazing. And if we use scar-removing medicine afterward, I guarantee there won’t be any scars left.”

Pierce just got scared really badly by Branden and was too chicken even to step forward now.

“Here was the renowned Casier Hospital, which could be ranked as one of the best hospitals in the whole country.

“The person before me could earn the director’s respect and was politely addressed as ‘Mr. Duncan.’ He must be none other than the heir of the Duncans, Branden Duncan.

“I just yelled at him so loudly. It will be questionable whether I can continue to stay in Casier.

“If I accidentally offend him, my life might even be in danger,” he said inwardly. After taking on such a thorny issue, Pierce found himself in a dilemma where he couldn’t express his bitterness.

Branden was very aware that Rhys would never dare to deceive him. At present, there was no time to seek a better doctor. Branden could only follow the advice of Rhys and chose Dr. Presley.

He took a step back voluntarily, making space and even speaking politely.

“Dr. Presley, would you please tend to my fiancée’s wound?”

A moment ago, he was acting like a demon, ready to devour people. Now, he had suddenly become so polite. Pierce almost couldn’t react in time. It was only when Rhys nudged him that he snapped back to reality.

After regaining his composure, Pierce immediately stepped forward with respect. “Mr. Duncan, it is my duty to treat the wound. I will definitely be cautious.”

Standing on the side, Triston and the others were left dumbfounded as they watched the scene.

“Branden has always been high and aloof with an air of nobility. When did he ever lower himself like this?

“He’s actually now being so polite to the doctor who had just yelled at him? And all because this doctor is about to perform surgery on Catherine.

“Unbelievable! It’s seriously unbelievable.

“Whenever it comes to anything related to Catherine, Mr. Duncan’s reaction is utterly different from before, “they thought.

Although Branden did not hinder him, let alone express any anger toward him, the mere presence of such a big shot beside him made Pierce’s hands shake uncontrollably as if they were defiant.

Initially, it wasn’t a big deal, but it was made into such a big deal. Catherine didn’t really like it.

Now that she saw Pierce’s reaction, Catherine’s eyes instantly darkened. She raised her head and coldly ordered the man standing beside her like a pillar, “Get out. Wait outside!”

Her tone gave both Pierce and Rhys a real shock.

“Mr. Duncan’s fiancée has some serious guts to talk like that to such a big shot. Doesn’t she even fear the big shot throwing a fit?” they thought.

Both of them were secretly sweating for Catherine in their hearts. But to their utter surprise, Branden didn’t even lay a finger on Catherine.

Moreover, he had an eager look as he watched Catherine and instructed her affectionately, reluctant to part.

“I’ll be waiting at the door. Just call me if you need anything!”

Seeing Branden obediently leaving, Pierce couldn’t help but greatly admire Catherine from the bottom of his heart.

To dare speak to Branden like this and to make him so obedient, there might be no one else in the entire city of Casier who could do it except for Catherine.

Without the supervision of Branden, Pierce’s hand became considerably steadier. Adding to her admiration for Catherine, he became more dedicated, and his actions became more precise. The wound was soon stitched up completely.

When stitching such a large wound, despite being under anesthesia, patients would usually experience excessive discomfort and even shout and scream due to psychological factors.

However, Pierce noticed that Catherine didn’t even furrow her brow throughout the entire process, which only furthered his respect for her.

“Indeed, the woman who could intimidate the big shot was truly something,” he said inwardly.
