Chapter 257 The Future Mrs. Duncan
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 explaining 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 glance 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 plastic surgery department. He has extensive experience suturing wounds and considerable clinical expertise in wound healing and scar prevention in the later 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. Virgil landed 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 plan 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 had come 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 glance 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 -law be scarred. I give you my word!”
Rhys nodded with relief, thinking that he had finally convinced Virgil. He could finally relax 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?
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 classes, Catherine realized that she had no more reason to stay there and decided to head back to school for class.
“I’m off to class, 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!”
