Chapter 438 Quit
The old doctor gestured at Branden’s thigh and then looked at Catherine with a serious expression, giving an explanation.
“The worst-case scenario is the complete paralysis of the lower body!”
Upon hearing this result, Catherine, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but frown. Complete paralysis of the lower body? That was equivalent to being crippled!
She was one hundred percent sure that Branden would never accept this outcome. After hearing the doctor’s explanation of the worst-case scenario, Catherine pushed open the door of the examination room and walked out.
Paxton immediately approached, but Catherine kept walking, giving him a sidelong glance. With just one glance, Paxton immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to approach any further. Unable to follow her, Paxton had no choice but to go in and ask the doctors about Branden’s condition.
Branden’s condition was more complicated than the doctors had imagined, mainly because the previous medications were tested in a static environment, and they couldn’t predict the extent of the reagent’s impact on Branden’s body.
Seeing Branden injured, Paxton was extremely anxious. If something really happened to Branden, his entire life would be ruined.
The Duncans couldn’t live without Branden. But now, he had reached out to everyone he could find. He even directly transferred the reagent development team from the 417 Laboratory, but there was still no progress.
Paxton was so anxious that he pointed his gun at the doctor’s head, glaring at him and giving him a harsh command.
“If you can’t cure him, I’ll kill you. Don’t worry. I will commit suicide. See you in Hell!”
The doctor was terrified by Paxton. Paxton’s eyes were bloodshot like an angry lion, and his appearance was truly terrifying.
The doctor’s hands trembled. He didn’t dare to offend Paxton, afraid that if Paxton’s hand shook accidentally, his life would come to an end.
After all, he could only live once.
Everyone was afraid of death.
“Paxton, please rest assured. I will do my best. I will do everything I can to ensure Mr. Duncan’s safety.”
Paxton’s eyes were red with anger as he held onto the gun tightly. If it weren’t for the people around him holding him back, he might have really pulled the trigger.
In order to save his own life, the doctor proposed a new solution.
“Paxton, if the Dr. Miracle were here, perhaps he could cure him!”
Paxton’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. “Dr. Miracle?”
“Yes!” The doctor nodded. “He can be considered the best doctor. If we can find him, I can assure you that it will greatly increase the chances of a successful cure!”
As long as it could increase the chances of saving Branden, Paxton would do anything, even if it meant turning the world upside down.
“Okay. I’ll go find him now!”
As the doctor watched Paxton hurriedly leave, he silently frowned. It was not easy to find Dr. Miracle. Rumors had it that his medical skills were superb, and because of his proficiency in traditional medicine, he was revered as Dr. Miracle.
But this mysterious doctor had a peculiar temperament and unpredictable whereabouts. It was definitely not an easy task to find him for treatment.
Even if one managed to find him after great effort, whether he would be willing to lend a helping hand was not for sure. After getting the lead, Paxton immediately found the Duncan trio and explained the situation.
Although the trio was in training, the matter of Branden was more important than anything else. Without hesitation, they found Jon and expressed their intention to withdraw from the competition and quit the training camp.
Jon looked at them in shock. Although he knew something had happened to Branden, he didn’t expect the situation to be so serious that all three of them were prepared to withdraw from the competition.
Jon didn’t quite agree!
These three were elites of the team, and Jon could even predict that they would definitely complete the training and be the last ones standing. They were exceptionally talented.
“No, I can’t make this decision. I have to talk to your instructor! You know, I can’t take responsibility for this!”
When it came to the training competition, Catherine had the final say. Even though Jon was the head instructor, he had no authority to intervene.
Carlo was the most anxious one among the three of them. Seeing that Jon claimed to have no authority, he immediately rushed out to find Catherine.
Cory noticed Carlo’s change in expression and reached out to stop him.
“Carlo, calm down!”
As they turned around, they saw Catherine walking in with large strides. She was dressed in disguise, with only her eyes exposed. Her icy and chilling gaze sent shivers down their spines.
Catherine looked up and stared at the three of them, making them feel uncomfortable as if being pricked by needles.
“Give me a reason for why you are here!
Her voice was cold and icy, like the chill inside an ice cellar, piercing through their bones.
Normally, Carlo might have trembled in fear, but now, his mind was filled with worries about Branden. He feared nothing and only wanted to save Branden. He raised his head and stepped forward, directly approaching Catherine.
“I want to withdraw from the training!”
“Why?” Catherine coldly uttered a word.
“No reason!” Carlo didn’t want to explain too much to Catherine. He just wanted to leave now. Catherine reprimanded in a cold voice, “If there’s no reason, then go back and train harder!”
This statement instantly ignited a surge of anger in Carlo. He glared at Catherine with a strong sense of resistance.
“Why? Why can’t I withdraw from the training?”
Carlo glared at Catherine, the tension between them escalating.
“Hmph!” Catherine snorted coldly, her face full of mockery. She exuded a chilling and domineering aura. “What? Are you going to challenge me? Even if the three of you fight against me together, you cannot even leave this room.”
Carlo’s face darkened. He knew what Catherine meant. Indeed, even if the three brothers teamed up, they couldn’t even leave this room without Catherine’s consent, let alone the island.
Seeing that the trouble was brewing, the calmest of the Duncan trio, Cory, stepped forward to persuade Catherine.
“Catherine, we have an urgent matter to attend to. We want to end the training early. Please let us go!”
Catherine sat down on the side, propping her feet up casually, completely ignoring Cory’s persuasion. Carlo was headstrong, and Cory was more diplomatic, but Catherine remained unmoved. They had no way to convince her.
Francis couldn’t take it anymore and directly stated the reason.
“Catherine, Branden is in trouble, and we need to find Dr. Miracle. Please let us go and help find him!”
They were all extremely anxious. But why was their instructor so calm?
Catherine squinted her eyes and stared at Francis. Seeing her suddenly sit up straight, Francis thought there was hope. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But the next second, Catherine crushed all his expectations.
“Go back. Don’t make me repeat myself!”
