Chapter 483 Catherine Knew Medicolegal Expertise

At eight o’clock in the evening, a little noise finally came from the quiet villa. Catherine swaggered down the stairs. She once again fell into a state of lethargy and exhaustion.

When she went downstairs, she swayed and looked like she was about to fall. Seeing her like this, Withal still admired her.

Branden stopped working and stepped forward. He put one hand around her waist to help her down the stairs. Only when Catherine was sitting on the sofa did Withal dare to start asking her how things were going.

“Catherine, how’s the research going?”

Catherine reached up and pinched the bridge of her nose. She had stripped and decomposed Bert’s blood and also checked Bert’s genes.

However, she did not find anything suspected of being viruses, nor did she see any foreign viral invasion inside the blood.

For a while, she was still unsure whether the cause of this strange disease was related to biological viruses. She might need to spend some more time researching it. Seeing Catherine not responding, Withal panicked.

There were actually things in the world that could stump Catherine.

It was over.

Ravenloth Palace was over. If even Catherine could not help, then no one could save them.

“Catherine, the palace has invited many famous doctors to check the patients. All the check results show that the patients are fine and healthy, but the vital signs of all the patients are gradually declining.”

The more Withal thought about it, the more he felt scared. He felt this matter was horrible after thinking about it carefully. “Catherine, could it be true that it was a curse on the royal family by the former queen?”

The former queen had died for over ten years, yet a rumor had been circulating in the palace. The rumor said that the former queen was killed, so she placed a curse on the royal family before she died.

The rumor was spread even more intensely in the palace after the outbreak of this bizarre illness. Even the old king had to come out to refute the rumor.

The matter had come to a point where it must be resolved. Otherwise, the old king would not have cost so much to launch missions worldwide.

Branden was not interested in any of that research. Even if all the people in Ravenloth Palace died out, it would not matter to him.

All he cared about was Catherine. His beautiful eyebrows furrowed as Catherine did not eat the oatmeal.

“You don’t like it?”

Branden made the oatmeal in person. Catherine often ate oatmeal.

Catherine looked down at the oatmeal. She felt that the food arranged by Branden was becoming increasingly light and tasteless.

She pushed away the oatmeal in a rude manner and said lightly, “I want to have a barbecue!”

Once Catherine wanted a barbecue, no one could change her mind. Hearing her words, a faint smile appeared on Branden’s face. For Branden, it was better for Catherine to have a barbecue than to eat nothing at all.

The man looked at her tenderly with a doting look in his eyes. Instead of refusing Catherine’s request directly, he coaxed Catherine to eat some oatmeal patiently as if she were a child.

“Eat some oatmeal first. I’ll prepare the barbecue for you right away!”

Catherine did not say anything. She ate the oatmeal off and on while choosing the food to barbecue on the laptop Paxton handed her.

Before the barbecue was ready, an accident suddenly occurred. Withal suddenly received a call from Ravenloth Palace.

“Catherine, the first case of death has occurred.”

Catherine raised her eyes toward Withal with a calm look. “Is it Bert?”

Withal widened his eyes instantly. He said in shock, “You’re amazing. You even know this!”

Withal had always suspected that Catherine had precognitive powers. He just did not have the evidence to prove it.

The best way to cause panic was death!

“Catherine, the palace asked us to come into the palace. They said they wanted us to learn as much as possible about Bert’s condition. What do you think?”

Withal dared not make decisions without authorization. He had to ask Catherine’s opinion. Catherine casually handed the laptop to Paxton and faintly commanded, “I’ll have a barbecue later when I come back!

Not daring to hesitate, Paxton took the laptop in a hurry.

“Miss Swann, don’t worry. I will definitely prepare the barbecue according to your tastes!”

And then, the group of four entered the palace, once again in disguise. Ravenloth Palace was lit up late at night due to the first case of death.

Members of the royal family stood nervously inside the palace. No one knew before that this unknown disease would be fatal. Now that they knew, who wouldn’t be scared and panicked?

Not only those members of the royal family but also some talented individuals who were invited also started to retreat. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What if the disease mutated and spread to non-royal members?

This was something that no one could guarantee. It was still the chief attendant who received Catherine and her group. He took them to the temporary mausoleum to check Bert’s body.

He handed the four of them masks made of plants that the people of Ravenloth believed could ward off evil spirits. “Dr. Sugar, please!”

Withal could not help but ask, “May I ask if this is a tradition in your Ravenloth Palace? Do you need to wear this to see the dead?”

The chief attendant shook his head.”

Not really. It’s just that Bert died in a bad way. In order to avoid the evil spirits from his body affecting you, it would be better for you to cover yourselves with the mask!”

It turned out that the mask had an allegory to ward off evil spirits. If this was a tradition of Ravenloth Palace, Catherine might have respected it.

But it had nothing to do with tradition and was frankly a superstition. Catherine had seen a lot of gory horrors on the battlefield, so how could she possibly be afraid of evil spirits?

Catherine walked straight into the mausoleum and said in a cold voice, “I don’t need it!”

After having her take the lead, the rest of her group also refused the chief attendant’s good intentions. Catherine pulled out her white gloves and put them on. She then began to examine Bert’s body.

She did not treat Bert’s body rudely like the others. She had a solemn expression and a strict attitude. Her respect for the body was evident in every movement she made.

Her professionalism could be seen in her movements. Paxton, who was standing by the side, could not help but be a little shocked by this scene.

He lowered his voice and asked Withal at the side. “Miss Swann also knows medicolegal expertise?”

“Haha!” Withal let out a smug sneer and said with a face full of pride, ” Catherine knows a lot more. She’s examined a lot of corpses, so she’s top- notch at examining them!

“There are many things that are not the matter of whether Catherine knows about it or not. They are the matter of whether she’s willing to do it or not.

“As long as it’s something she’s interested in, she only needs to put a little effort into it to achieve the ultimate in it easily.”

If Withal praised others like this, Paxton would definitely refute him.

Few people in the world could be that excellent.

But Catherine was indeed such a perfect person. Some things might sound unbelievable, but some people had the personal charisma to make others believe it was all true.

Catherine was one of those people who had the personal charisma!

After examining it, Catherine came to a conclusion.

She raised her eyes, her cold gaze falling on the chief attendant. She faintly opened her mouth and asked, ” He died of heart failure?”
