All Her Secrets

Catherine did not stand up to leave until Branden received all the injections and had his wounds bound up. She was the instructor, and her mission was to train the trainees. Her private matter should not keep her too long.

As soon as Catherine left, Paxton pounced toward the bed to serve Branden. When Catherine was there, Branden did not allow anyone to get near him. He endured the pain and everything.

Paxton could feel the pain by only watching it.

“Sir, why do you have to do this?”

Branden knew what Paxton meant and smiled bitterly. He said dispiritedly, ” This is nothing compared to what I have done to her that year.”

Paxton did not know what to say upon hearing Branden. Branden was willing to do that as his atonement to Catherine. What could Paxton say?

The anesthetic started to come into effect, and Branden was gradually unconscious. Before he fell into sound sleep, he gave Paxton one last order.

“Call the lab. Ask them to deliver the latest potion they developed.”

Paxton understood what Branden wanted. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Branden.

“Sir, that potion hasn’t passed the clinical trials. We don’t know what it could do to human bodies. You can’t use it.”

Branden eyed him and said decisively, ” This is an order.”

Paxton stood upright and saluted Branden.

“Yes, sir!”
