Chapter 440 Dr. Miracle
Outside the ward, Paxton had almost brought all the medical experts from the laboratory, and they were in the midst of a consultation.
Branden was still in a comatose state and had not woken up yet. No one knew the reason behind this coma or what method could be used to wake him up.
Another hour passed, but there was still no sign of any recovery. In a state of panic, Paxton reached for the gun at his waist, preparing to rush in. His subordinates quickly held him back, saying, âPaxton, donât be hasty!â
While Paxton could remain calm in other situations, he couldnât calm down when his invincible boss encountered a problem. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, his emotions were no longer stable.
Suddenly, a cold voice disrupted the chaos. âWhat are you doing here?â
Everyone turned around and saw Catherine walking towards them with an arrogant stride.
Paxton, already enraged, saw Catherineâs arrival as an outlet for his anger. He charged at her directly, angrily asking, âWhy are you here? If youâre still not satisfied, do you want me to give you a gun and let you kill him?â
Catherine raised her head, gave him a cold glance, and remained silent. In the next second, she suddenly made a move as fast as lightning, catching everyone off guard.
Paxton felt a gust of wind approaching, but before he could react, Catherine kicked him, sending him flying. His entire body shot forward and crashed heavily onto the ground before coming to a stop.
Paxton grimaced in pain, propping himself up with his hands. As he stood up, blood sprayed out of his mouth. The surrounding people were stunned. They knew that Catherine had formidable combat skills, but they didnât expect her to be this tough. Now, they instinctively backed away, afraid that they might be caught in the crossfire.
Even someone as strong as Paxton, after being kicked, was coughing up blood. They couldnât even imagine what would happen to them.
Catherineâs face remained indifferent, her cold gaze falling on Paxton. Her thin lips parted slightly as she said with a chilling tone, âEven your boss doesnât dare to speak to me like that!â
Paxton lowered his head, knowing that he had overstepped the line.
Catherine was right. She was someone held in high regard by Branden, and Paxton didnât have the qualification to disrespect her. It was just a momentary lapse of control that led to his lack of respect towards her.
Catherine had actually shown mercy. Otherwise, Paxton might have been killed. Realizing this, Paxton immediately knelt in front of Catherine.
âMiss Swann, I apologize for my impulsive actions earlier. Could you please allow Francis and the others to help find Dr. Miracle?â he pleaded desperately. âOur boss has been unconscious for over two hours!â
âHumph!â Catherine sneered, her face full of disdain and her eyes as cold as ice. âHeâs still alive, isnât he?â
Paxton didnât expect Catherine to speak so heartlessly. This woman was too ruthless. Her heart must be made of ice!
Ignoring Paxton, Catherine walked directly towards the ward. Paxtonâs subordinates quickly blocked her path, trying to stop her.
Catherine glanced at the crowd. The icy gaze from her eyes frightened them, causing them to quickly lower their heads, but they remained motionless.
Catherine began to admire Brandenâs subordinatesâ bravery, for they were all tough and fearless men. She turned to Paxton, asking âDo you know who this gentleman is?â
Paxton had been completely focused on Catherine earlier and hadnât noticed who she had brought with her. Now, he found that there was a middle-aged man standing behind her. The man had a plump figure, a rosy complexion, and gray hair.
Paxton carefully studied that man but had no impression of him at all. He didnât understand why Catherine wanted him to see that man either.
Seeing Paxton looking at him, the middle-aged man smirked and said, â Kid, go find a doctor for yourself. Itâs painful to have broken ribs!â
Paxton was shocked, his eyes widening instantly. He had just been kicked, but apart from coughing up blood, he hadnât shown any signs of his broken ribs. Yet, this man, without even observing him, knew that his ribs were broken. His skill was incredible!
âSir, who are you?â
Paxton didnât dare to speculate randomly. After all, Catherine was a big shot, and it was normal for her to know some extraordinary individuals.
Rubbing his round belly, the middle- aged man burst into laughter. âIâm Thomas Theo. I know a bit of medicine. People usually see me as a doctor. They gave me the nickname âDr. Miracleâ!â
Paxton was completely shocked. It turned out that Catherine wasnât completely indifferent to the situation. She had directly brought the key person here.
Just a moment ago, Paxton, who couldnât even stand up, suddenly trotted toward Thomas.
âDr. Miracle, we finally found you. Please quickly examine my boss and give a diagnosis!â he pleaded urgently.
The middle-aged man had a kind smile on his face.
âI donât care about others, but I do care about Cassieâs boyfriend!â he said. Paxtonâs eyes lit up with hope. He quickly pushed aside his subordinates and said to Thomas with a bow, âDr. Miracle, please come in!â
The two of them walked into the ward together, with Catherine standing at the back. She didnât like crowds or noisy environments, so she always walked at the back, keeping her distance from others.
Seeing Paxtonâs lips curling into a smile, Catherine frowned slightly.
âWasnât he just lying on the ground and unable to get up?â she wondered. â Why is he suddenly full of energy? Could it be an act?â
Inside the ward, Thomas looked at the well-equipped medical equipment and couldnât help but mutter, âWow, even though itâs small, it has everything!â
After making a joke, he shifted his gaze to Branden on the hospital bed.
âSo, this is Branden Duncan?â he asked.
Paxton nodded. âYes, Mr. Theo. Please help us examine our boss!â
Thomas carefully observed Branden and nodded in agreement. âHe looks good. No wonder Cassie likes him!â Then, without any hesitation, he glanced at Catherine. Catherine nodded slightly, her face calm. No one could tell what she was thinking at the moment.
With her consent, Thomas sat down and began checking Brandenâs pulse. Inside the ward, there was complete silence, and no one dared to disturb Thomasâs examination.
After a few minutes, Thomasâs face turned cold, and he looked at everyone with a serious expression.
âWho is his attending physician?â
The doctors that Paxton had brought were all waiting in the ward. When they heard Thomasâs question, a middle- aged man immediately stood up.
âMr. Theo, I am Mr. Duncanâs attending physician. Is there anything you need to know from me?â
Thomas glared at him and launched into a scolding.
âYou fool!â
