Chapter 936 Don''t Let Catherine Know
A simple te of pasta turned out to be the most delicious meal Rn had in recent times. He finished thest bite and then set the fork down.
Aaron sat beside him. When the te was empty, he reached out to take it, but Rn had already covered it with his hand.
"I''m full," Rn said calmly.
Hearing this, Aaron couldn''t help butin, "You should eat more."
"It''s enough," Rn calmly replied, a faint smile appearing on his face. He didn''t eat much on a regr basis, and if it weren''t for his grandfather cooking today, he wouldn''t have eaten at all, especially since he had already eaten beforeing over. His im of being hungry was solely to ease the escting tension between them.
Aaron was known for his stubbornness, and this was the only way to keep him from getting too angry.
"It''s gettingte. I have to leave. See you next time, Grandpa!" Rn said.
When Aaron heard that Rn was leaving, his face darkened. Rn had only been here for a short while, and now he was nning to leave.
Rn felt increasingly ufortable. He wanted to spend more time with his grandfather, but he was worried that if he didn''t leave soon, there might be trouble. Despite his reluctance to leave, he stood up. As he was about to leave the yard, Aaron called out, "Rn!"
Rn stopped, turned to look at Aaron, and gestured for him to go back and rest. As he turned away, a sharp pain struck his chest. He tried to endure it, hoping to make it out of the gate, but the pain overwhelmed him, and he copsed on the ground.
Aaron had noticed something was wrong when he saw Rn stumbling. The moment he saw him about to copse, he immediately shouted and rushed over. "Rn!"
In his final moments of consciousness, Rn managed to utter a sentence. ''Don''t let Catherine know!"
At the base, Ronin walked in with snacks he had just bought and tossed them onto Withal''sp. "Withal, don''t you think something''s strange?"
Withal, engrossed in hisputer, nced up at him upon hearing the question. "What''s so strange?"
"ck Robe hasn''t contacted me for days. I just rescued Zobber, and they should be eager to contact me and recruit Zobber. It''s really strange that there''s been no news at all!" Ronin was deeply puzzled.
Withal pondered carefully, unable to understand ck Robe''s intentions. Ronin was right, but in times like this, they couldn''t afford to specte recklessly.
"Let''s hold our ground and wait. I''m worried this might be a deliberate test from them. If we make too many moves, they''ll be suspicious."
After some careful thought, Ronin agreed, "You''re right. I''ll take your advice."
"Stay put. I''ll go find Catherine. It''s been two days since I''ve seen her, and I miss her a lot!" Withal couldn''t stand Ronin''s infatuated look when he met Catherine, truly a loyal supporter of Catherine.
"Sure, hurry up and go!"
After bidding farewell to Withal, Ronin rode his motorcycle to the school. Finding Catherine was much easier now. All he had to do was visit the schoolboratory, and he''d definitely find her there.
Catherine had just finished handling some tasks when she came out and saw Ronin waiting in the living room. "Looking for me?" she asked.
Upon seeing Catherine, Ronin''s face lit up with a radiant smile. "Catherine, I brought your favorite pastries!"
Catherine nced at the packaging, confirming that it was indeed her favorite brand. She happened to be a bit hungry, and the pastries arrived just in time. She didn''t know what had gotten into her recently, she would frequently feel hungry. Previously, she would feel nauseous at the sight of food. But now, things were different. After eating the lunch arranged by Branden, she would feel hungry again around three or four in the afternoon. If she didn''t eat something, she''d feel temble.
"Come in!" she said.
Ronin followed Catherine into her office, cing the pastries on the table and pouring some rose liqueur for Catherine. "Catherine, it''s ready to eat!"
Catherine nodded slightly, finding the pastries on the table cute and appetizing.
A few minutester, Ronin was surprised to see that Catherine hadn''t even stopped. Catherine, you..."
Seeing Ronin staring at her in astonishment, Catherine was a bit puzzled. "What''s wrong?" "Catherine, you like the pastries today, don''t you? You ate quite a lot!" He had gotten used to buying pastries for Catherine because she often missed regr meals due to work. Additionally, she had low blood sugar, and pastries quickly provided her with sugar while filling her up. However, she never ate too much. She preferred spicy New Orleans chicken wings over sweet food.
Thanks to Ronin''s reminder, Catherine realized she had overindulged. She had eaten more than usual, far exceeding her typical intake, and she hadn''t even noticed it.
"I didn''t eat much in the afternoon, and now I''m a bit hungry. I didn''t realize I had eaten so much all at once!" she exined.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Hearing Catherine say she hadn''t eaten much in the afternoon, Ronin began to feel concerned. "Catherine, your health is more important than work; you need to eat on time!" "Okay." Catherine nodded, temporarily keeping Ronin in the dark. Based on Ronin''s nature, once he found out, he would tell everyone around him.
What did youe to see me about today?" Catherine asked.
Ronin expressed his confusion to Catherine. She happened to have something to tell him. "I received information that a group of highly skilled assassins has recently arrived in Loxton. We don''t know their target yet, so be extra cautious during this time. Keep an eye on that end. But remember, safety is the priority."
Ronin frowned. He understood that these people wouldn''t havee to Loxton for no reason; they must havee for a specific task. If they were targeting him, it would be troublesome. "Alright, Catherine, I''ll be careful. You also need to be cautious.
Catherine wasn''t worried about herself. Although Branden hadn''t mentioned it, she had noticed several people around her recently. They bore no ill will towards her and were likely arranged by Branden to protect her. Given her current situation, she needed to prioritize safety above all else.
