Chapter 674 The Lab Might Be Haunted


    Catherine woke up and stood in front of the mirror, sighing as she looked at the red marks on her neck.


    Even though Branden had shown restraint, the red marks were still visible.


    Last night, she returned to the apartment with Branden. Knowing that she had been busy with


    laboratory worktely, Branden made her a cup of warm milk, intending for her to rest.


    However, she, for some reason, decided to seduce him. But how could Branden resist her teasing? He


    pounced on her immediately, and the two shared a night of passion. She ended up sleeping in today.


    Branden entered the bathroom and found Catherine standing in front of the mirror in a daze. He walked


    up slowly, embraced her from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder. ” Feeling ufortable?”


    he softly asked.


    Catherine returned to her senses, her wandering thoughts brought back. She gazed gently through the


    mirror at the man. Half-closing her eyes, shezily responded to Branden’s question, “No. Just sleepy.”


    Despite Branden’s suggestion for her to sleep a bit more, Catherine declined.


    Branden anticipated her response. He knew Catherine’s nature. Once she decided on something, her


    ns wouldn’t easily change.


    While Catherine was washing up, Branden attentively unbuttoned her sleepwear from behind and


    changed the clothes she would wear today. Catherine remained like a puppet throughout, letting


    Branden take care of everything.


    In the apartment, there was a room transformed into Catherine’s dressing room. Branden regrly


    added various essories and clothes, but Catherine rarely went in.


    Whenever she needed to dress, Branden would choose and present the clothes to her. Her clothing


    requirements were simple, emphasizingfort and warmth. Apart from these, it was up to Branden’s


    mood to decide.


    Today, with the sunlight being nice and warm, Branden chose a white T-shirt for Catherine, paired with


    a light yellow coat. Unlike the usual ck and white, the bright colorsplemented Catherine’s


    naturally perfect skin, making her look more vibrant and exuding a youthful vigor.


    Catherine sat at the table and leisurely ate her breakfast. Branden, on the other hand, held a cup of hot


    coffee and observed her.


    The sunlight streamed through the ss window, casting a radiant glow on Catherine.


    The intense gaze made Catherine, who initially wanted to ignore it, unable to disregard it. She raised


    her eyes and met Branden’s gaze with a warning, signaling him to restrain himself. Branden snorted


    lightly and tilted his head to conceal his gaze.


    Catherine would never understand how much effort it took for him to suppress his possessiveness.


    He understood that Catherine loved freedom and disliked being restrained. Yet, she was too splendid,


    too beautiful pelling enough to make one want to hide her away in a ce outsiders could never


    reach. He just wanted to have her all to himself.


    After finishing thest sip of milk, Catherine put down the cup and stood up.


    Branden naturally took the cup and turned to walk into the kitchen, and when he came out, Catherine


    had already packed up.


    Branden grabbed his coat and looked at her tenderly. “Let’s go. I’ll drive you to school.”


    The two walked out of the apartment like an ordinary couple, heading in different directions but with the


    same destination in mind-home.


    The car stopped at the school gate, and Catherine didn’t let Branden open the car door for her. She


    had been quite conspicuous at school recently, and though she wasn’t afraid of the curious nces,


    she preferred to keep a low profile whenever possible.

    Branden’s face was distinctive enough that if captured, it could stir up a buzz on the school forum for a


    few days.


    Catherine didn’t head directly to theboratory but went back to the dormitory first. Hearing the door


    opening, Amelia peered out. “Be…”


    Mid-sentence, she swallowed her words. She had expected Isabe to return, not Catherine. “Super


    Catherine, why are you back? I thought you would go straight to theb.”


    “I returned for some document.” Catherine walked directly to her bed after speaking. Once she got


    what she needed, she was ready to leave. Turning around, she noticed Amelia standing behind her.


    Seeing Amelia avoiding eye contact, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, Catherine


    ced the documents down and pulled out a chair to sit. “If you have something to say, just go ahead.”


    Deep down, Amelia admired Catherine once again. “Super Catherine indeed lived up to her title. She


    could always effortlessly grasp what was on my mind,” thought she.


    “Super Catherine, there’s something I’m not sure if I should mention,” said Amelia.


    “When you hesitate, it already implies you want to say something, doesn’t it?” Catherine analyzed


    calmly.


    After careful consideration, Amelia found some sense in Catherine’s words and continued, “Super


    Catherine, there’s a strange incident I witnessed while cleaning theb a couple of days ago. I can’t


    help but feel ourb might be haunted.”


    Amelia then exined the specific details, genuinely suspecting she had met a ghost.


    However, since theboratory was a ce that believed in science, she feared beingbeled as


    superstitious or irrational if she shared this with others. With no other choice, she turned to Catherine.


    “Super Catherine, please be cautious and pay attention. It’s better to believe in the possibility of such


    things and respect them. Don’t stay toote in theb,” added Amelia. She felt that Catherine, who


    often immersed herself in theb and conducted experimentste into the night, was in particr


    danger.


    For Catherine’s security, Amelia thought it over for a while and decided to share her concerns.


    After Amelia finished, she anxiously nced at Catherine to gauge her reaction. Seeing Catherine’s


    calm expression, unchanged from before, and no disdain in her eyes, Amelia finally heaved a sigh of


    relief.


    “Super Catherine, I just thought I’d mention it. Be careful, anyway,” added she.


    “Okay,” Catherine softly replied. ”


    Thanks.”


    In high spirits, Amelia smiled and said, “You’re wee.”


    Having held these worries for so many years, she was always afraid of being mocked or belittled if she


    spoke out. Unexpectedly, Catherine expressed gratitude.


    “Hurry back to theb,” said Amelia.


    Catherine took the documents and stood up. Before leaving, she assured Amelia, “I’ll try toe back


    early.”


    Seeing Catherine take her advice seriously, Amelia was overjoyed, her eyes smiling. “Early to leave,


    early to return.”


    Catherine held the documents and went downstairs. She didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits, but she


    understood that Amelia wouldn’t lie and certainly wouldn’t joke about such matters.


    If it wasn’t the supernatural, the most probable exnation was that someone deliberately caused


    these disturbances.


    Catherine descended the stairs slowly, preparing to check theboratory. Unexpectedly, near the


    dormitory building’s entrance, she spotted a familiar figure.
