All Her Secrets

Chapter 921 Don’t Scare Me

For many years, Thomas has taken care of Catherine like a doting grandfather. When something was bothering Catherine, she didn’t want to keep it from him. She extended her wrist towards Thomas.

His expression darkened drastically. He thought that Catherine was unwell. He couldn’t imagine any other reason for her to summon him from afar, using the excuse of a seminar at Styre University, unless she was seriously ill and didn’t want anyone to know.

“Catherine, don’t scare me. I’m old and can’t handle this kind of stress!” Thomas exaggerated, earning a smile from Catherine, who felt moved.

Healing was Thomas’s area of expertise, and he had never shied away from it. His panicked reaction to the misunderstanding showed just how deep his love for her ran.

“Thomas, don’t worry. It’s just a minor ailment, nothing incurable!” Catherine reassured him.

Thomas skeptically placed his hand on Catherine’s, carefully checking her pulse. After a moment, he released her hand, eyeing her with suspicion. A slight shake of her head conveyed her message to him.

Furrowing his brow, Thomas said coldly, indicating his frustration. “That rascal, if he treated you poorly, I’d skin him alive right now!”

Catherine stood quietly by, smiling. It felt good to have someone supporting her. After venting a bit more, Thomas looked at Catherine with a hint of reproach. “Why didn’t you call me earlier? You’re just a young girl. Could you handle this on your own? And does Branden know?”

Catherine honestly replied, fearing that Thomas might really get upset, “No, you’re the only one who knows for now. I just found out. I didn’t even get checked, and immediately contacted you!”

Thomas felt relieved after hearing this. “At least you’ve got a conscience, girl. It’s good that you told me right away after all the care I’ve given you. I’m here now, so don’t worry. I won’t leave. I’ll stay by your side and keep you safe!”
