Chapter 603 Heâs Poisoned
Catherine had just parked her car when she saw Branden standing in a spot not far ahead. She pushed open the car door and slowly got out.
Branden had already come to her side after she got out of the car. He looked at her gently with his deep eyes.
âAre we going upstairs or going back?â
Catherine originally wanted to come and return the car to Branden, but she did not expect Branden to come downstairs to find her.
It looked like he should have finished his official business and could leave.
âIf youâre free, letâs go back.â
They rarely made a trip back to Casier these days, and Karl looked forward to them returning to the old house every day.
It just so happened that they were done with their business, so Catherine thought of going back early to accompany Karl.
âOkay!â
Branden responded gently. Taking the key from Catherineâs hand, he pulled open the car door and let her sit in the passenger seat.
âCome on, letâs go back!â
Not long after the car had set off, the cell phone inside Catherineâs pocket rang. She answered the call and immediately instructed Branden to turn around.
âTo the hospital!â
Branden immediately turned on the turn signals. He changed the carâs direction before asking about the situation.
âWhat happened?â
âSomething happened to Korbin!â
Catherine said in a cold voice before Branden slammed his foot on the gas. The car traveled down the road at a breakneck speed.
The two got to the hospital as fast as they could.
Audrey was guarding outside the hospital room. At this moment, her eyes were already red, and her hands were involuntarily trembling.
Seeing Catherine appear, she rushed toward Catherine as if she had found her support.
âKathy, you finally came. Dad⦠he is dying!â
âWhatâs going on?â Catherine inquired with a frown.
On the phone, she had only heard that Korbin was dying. She didnât know exactly what was going on.
Thomas had previously clearly stated that Korbinâs illness had recovered to the best possible outcome. How could something suddenly happen to him?
Audrey shook her head with her eyes red.
She said, âI donât know. Dad was fine in the morning. Mr. Theo checked on Dad in the morning and said that Dad would probably wake up today or tomorrow at the latest. But then, in the afternoon, Dad suddenly stopped breathing. Mr. Parry said he was dying. Mr. Theo is here and is trying to save him!â
Korbin was on the verge of waking up, and suddenly this happened.
It was too much of a coincidence.
Was it someone intentionally not wanting Korbin to wake up, or was he really so unlucky that even Thomas couldnât save him?
Compared to Audrey, who was at a loss for words and panicked, Catherine was much calmer.
She kept her eyes on the emergency room. Only after the lights in the emergency room went out and the door opened did Catherine pace up to Thomas.
âHe has been rescued but is not out of danger yet. Whether he can get through it or not depends on tonight.â
Hearing that, Audreyâs newly relieved nerves tensed up again. Thomasâ body swayed, and Catherine immediately stepped forward to support him.
âIâll take you to rest!â
Seeing that Thomas had exhausted himself in order to save Korbin, everyone dared not say anything and watched as Catherine helped him leave.
After the two entered the lounge, Catherine immediately released Thomasâs hand. She walked gracefully to the nearby chair and sat down.
Thomas, who was weak earlier, was now as energetic as a young man. He grunted at Catherine in dissatisfaction.
âHow could you do that to me? Itâs only one step away from the chair, but you took the seat before helping me take it!
Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at Thomas with a light smile. â Stop pretending. Tell me now. What exactly is going on?â
Thomas knew that the matter was urgent, so he stopped joking and returned to the topic.
âHe was rescued. Thanks to your sisterâs timely discovery, otherwise, no one could have been able to save him. But it wasnât because of the postoperative complications!â
Without waiting for Thomas to finish, Catherine suddenly opened her mouth and coldly uttered two words.
âHeâs poisoned!â
Thomas was shocked and looked at Catherine dumbfounded. âHow do you know?â
