Chapter 257


    Audrey also knew she couldn’t have a scar, but that was not something she could control. With her mind


    devoid of ideas, she didn’t know what to do and could only turn her gaze toward Catherine, hoping that


    Catherine would give her some advice.


    However, Catherine didn’t say a single word but just took out her phone and dialed a number. “I’m at


    Mercy Hospital now. Audrey got injured and had a minor surgery. I’m worried she might get a scar.”


    After briefly exining the situation, Catherine hung up the phone and casually leaned back on the side


    like nothing had happened.


    Audrey couldn’t figure out what she meant and didn’t know who Catherine was calling. She looked at


    Kim as if asking, “What’s going on?”


    In return, Kim looked at her helplessly as he winked and gestured as if saying, “She’s your sister. Now


    you’re asking me? Audrey, you are a little ridiculous.”


    In the end, the two could only nce at each other in silence and sneakily peek toward Catherine. When


    Catherine was not speaking, she exuded a natural, formidable aura that made people hesitate to disturb


    her. After five minutes, the rigid silence in the ward finally broke out.


    A group of doctors wearing white gowns walked together into the ward. If one didn’t know any better, one


    would think it must be some severe or rare emergency that required so many experts to have a


    consultation.


    In an instant, Audrey got flustered in bed. Catherine was still sitting calmly with the same indifferent


    expression on her face.


    Standing at the front, the doctor in the white gown looked around, then asked with a big smile, “Excuse


    me, who is Miss Catherine Swann?”


    Audrey and Kim pointed their fingers toward Catherine in unison but were too afraid to speak. The scene


    before them was indeed quite daunting. Catherine slowly stood up, raised her head, and directed her


    gaze toward the leading doctor.


    Although he appeared authoritative, the doctor had a rather friendly attitude toward Catherine. He took


    the initiative to introduce himself.


    “Hello, Miss Swann. I’m Rhys Parry, the director of Mercy Hospital. Allow me to have a brief introduction.”


    After finishing, Rhys pulled out the doctor beside him, who appeared to be an expert with a head full of


    gray hair.


    “Miss Swann, this is Virgil Badman, the director of our hospital’s stic surgery department. He has


    extensive experience suturing wounds and considerable clinical expertise in wound healing and scar


    prevention in theter stages.”


    Catherine understood that the person in front of her was the expert arranged to take care of Audrey’s


    wound.


    She fixed her gaze on Virgil, her cold eyes tinged with distance and respect. “I just want to know one


    thing. Will the wound leave scars or not?”


    Catherine’s presence was just too strong, leaving Rhys at a loss for words. When he received that phone


    call, he was so frightened that his legs became weak. This was the first time that big shot had called


    since he took over as the director of Mercy Hospital.


    Upon receiving the urgent news, he immediately contacted the experts and initiated top-level measures.


    After thorough discussions, he rushed directly to the patient’s ward.


    He secretly breathed when he saw that the big shot wasn’t there. At least he could take it easy for now.


    However, when Catherine appeared, his anxious heart leaped again.


    “Seems like I let my guard down too early. Miss Catherine Swann doesn’t seem ordinary either. Her


    presence is enough to rival that big shot,” thought he. Virgilnded her gaze on Rhys, indicating for him


    to speak.


    Earlier, Rhys gathered everyone quickly and said it was an emergency. Virgil was so flustered that he


    dared not to speak now. Rhys knew Virgil was struggling and could only grit his teeth and answer


    Catherine’s question.


    “Miss Swann, rest assured that we will do our utmost to leave no scars.” Catherine was expecting this


    sentence. Now that the other party had given it, she wouldn’t make things difficult for them.


    “Thanks, Mr. Parry. I’ll leave my sister to you.”


    Rhys silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. When Catherine was staring at him earlier, he felt his


    blood pressure skyrocket and was experiencing a sense of imminent blood vessel bursting at any


    moment.


    “Miss Swann, please do not stand on ceremony. We’ll definitely get it done as Mr. Duncan personally


    instructed.”


    Without receiving a response from Catherine, Rhys took the initiative to share his own thoughts after a


    couple of seconds.


    “If there are no other instructions, I’ll take Virgil and the others to discuss the treatment n first because


    having too many people around will also disrupt the patient’s rest!”


    Catherine nodded. After obtaining permission, Rhys led the doctors out of the ward. Just as they were


    walking down the hallway, Virgil stopped and blocked the path of Rhys.


    “Rhys, what exactly is going on here? And who exactly is that person inside?”


    As a doctor for many years, he hade across a fair share of individuals with influential connections.


    Still, he had never seen anyone who could be treated so respectfully by the hospital director.


    Rhys gave a sideways nce at Virgil and looked at him strangely. “Virgil, you and I have been friends


    for so many years. I cannot hide it from you. I dare to make this pledge because the person who called


    me just now is Branden Duncan! You know it. Branden Duncan!


    He emphasized the name of Branden Duncan especially. At this moment, Virgil finally realized what was


    going on. He widened his eyes and looked at Rhys in absolute astonishment. “Rhys, are you saying the


    young heir of the Duncan family?”


    Rhys gave Virgil a chilling look and said, “Now you understand why I feel the situation is serious. Let me


    tell you a secret. Come closer.”


    Virgil came closer. Rhys whispered, “I heard that the person inside is highly likely the future Mrs. Duncan.


    How could I afford to say no to her?”


    Virgil could see the helplessness on Rhys’ mysterious face. Understanding his plight, Virgil nodded in


    agreement before gazing firmly at him.


    “Rhys, rest assured. I now understand your intentions. Leave it to me. I will take on this arduous task. I


    will definitely not let Mr. Duncan’s sister-in w be scarred. I give you my word!”


    Rhys nodded with relief, thinking that he had finally convinced Virgil. He could finally rx a bit this time.


    The discussion outside the ward was lively, but the atmosphere inside the ward seemed somewhat


    strange.


    Under the various prompts of Kim, Audrey finally spoke to Catherine.


    “Kathy, did you ask for Branden’s help? Catherine nodded as Audrey expected. She did indeed ask


    Branden for help. They were in Casier. Who could be more powerful than the Duncans?


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It would be more efficient to have the local big shot Branden arrange the treatment instead of Ronin


    doing it himself.


    From the current situation, there didn’t seem to be any issues with her decision. Seeing her nod, Audrey


    felt a bit strange in her heart. “Kathy, won’t this trouble the Duncans?”


    “Have you noticed any trouble?” Catherine questioned her. Audrey was left speechless by this question.


    “Fine. I don’t get it. I’ll just keep quiet, “said she inwardly. Seeing that it was almost time for afternoon


    sses, Catherine realized that she had no more reason to stay there and decided to head back to


    school for ss.


    “I’m off to ss, take good care and get well soon!”


    Audrey didn’t want to hold up Catherine from her studies. Besides, Kim was here too, so she hurriedly


    urged. “Then you should hurry up!”
