Chapter 492 Her Audacity
Catherine and Withal were both in the car. After driving for a while, he finally spoke up to discuss with
her.
“Catherine, why do I feel like Prince Harry is quite concerned about you?” Withal asked. Prince Harry
had waited for quite a while just to remind Catherine to be cautious of that foolish queen.
His concern seemed a bit excessive.
Catherine leaned on her hand, her beautiful eyes gazing forward unfocused. She calmly replied to
Withal. “I don’t give a fuck!”
Withal was silent for a moment.
Finally, he gave his assessment. ” You’re right.”
In this world, there were plenty of people eager to please Catherine.
What was a mere Prince Harry?
Unlike their previous visit to the palace, this time, Withal drove the car directly to the palace gate. The
chief attendant himself came out to welcome them and politely opened the car door for Catherine as
she stepped out.
The difference in treatment from their previous visit was stark. Catherine remained composed, her face
indifferent, and followed the chief attendant to the crown prince’s chamber.
The king and Queen Lina were both present. Queen Lina saw Catherine, and her eyes practically shot
daggers at her.
“Cough, cough,” the king cleared his throat.
He tried to silence Queen Lina.
“Humph!” Withal snorted disdainfully.
“If Queen Lina dares to show disrespect to Catherine again today, I won’t give a damn about saving
face for the Ravenloth king.
“I’ll step in directly!” he thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA confrontation might spark a full- blown war between the Hacker Alliance and Ravenloth, but
sometimes it couldn’t be avoided.
In a world of intellects and visionaries, a few individuals stood out as shining examples of sheer,
unadulterated stupidity.
Their actions and words served as a testament to the inexhaustible depths of their ignorance. Though
warned by the king, Queen Lina was still visibly discontented.
At this moment, Prince Levi, inside the chamber, once again had a seizure. His whole body convulsed,
foam dripped from his mouth, and his eyes rolled back. The sight made it seem like he could pass
away at any moment.
Both the king and Queen Lina were desperate. The king immediately thought of seeking help from
Catherine. “Doctor, please, check on the crown prince!”
This time, Queen Lina stood by without showing any sign of displeasure.
Now, the only one who could save her son was Catherine. Her husband was growing old, and her son
was the beacon of her happiness in the latter part of her life. She would never allow anything to happen
to her son!
Amidst the crowd’s pleading and anticipation, Catherine calmly approached Prince Levi. While she
didn’t possess medical skills as advanced as Mr. Theo, judging by Prince Levi’s condition, he was
suffering even more than Henry had.
Catherine took out a syringe and followed the same steps she had used when treating Henry.
However, something strange happened this time. The treatment didn’t yield the miraculous results they
had witnessed on the previous occasion.
Prince Levi continued to suffer, wailing in agony. Everyone present, including Withal, was left
astonished, struggling to believe their eyes.
Why was it different from last time?
Upon seeing this scene, Queen Lina became even more convinced that Catherine was a fraud.
Perhaps she had used some trickery or just happened to cure Henry by sheer luck. This time, her
attempts were futile.
Upon hearing her son’s painful cries, Queen Lina rushed forward.
“You fraud! Release my son!”
Withal swiftly positioned himself between them, his icy gaze locked onto the queen.
“Your Majesty, I advise you to maintain your composure!”
In front of others, Withal was always cold and ruthless.
His imposing figure, combined with his stern, indifferent face and an air of frostiness, genuinely instilled
fear in people. Additionally, the queen had witnessed him in action during the last incident, which left
her terrified.
The queen couldn’t do anything about Withal. She was so enraged that she stomped her feet without
caring about her image.
Unable to suppress Withal with her presence, the queen eventually had to seek an audience with the
king. Outside, there was a commotion, and the people present were starting to question Catherine’s
abilities.
Yet, Catherine herself seemed to have discovered something remarkable, a glint of excitement in her
eyes.
Her slightly upturned eye corners betrayed her contentment. She meticulously withdrew the silver
needles she had inserted, changing their positions and sealing the acupoints again.
This time, the acupuncture treatment finally showed results.
Prince Levi’s wails began to subside, and his complexion gradually improved. Once she had
successfully stabilized Prince Levi, Catherine began removing the needles one by one.
For now, the ailment within Prince Levi’s body seemed temporarily under control. With a stretch and a
slight hint of weariness, Catherine stood up.
Without hesitation, Withal hurriedly approached her, offering her a cup of coffee. His demeanor was not
merely that of a servant obeying their master, motivated solely by necessity. Withal’s approach to
serving Catherine was filled with genuine admiration, his eyes showing deep respect.
After Catherine had sipped her coffee, Withal attentively collected the empty cup.

His attitude enhanced the admiration of those around Catherine. Dr. Sugar was able to secure such a
remarkable assistant, so her ability was undoubtedly at the highest level among experts.
The physician took over after Catherine left.
After that, he reported the condition of the crown prince to the king.
Upon hearing that the crown prince’s condition had stabilized, the king breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Queen Lina, who stood beside him, still wore an unhappy expression.
In her eyes, it was an honor for Catherine to treat the crown prince. Being employed by a member of
the royal family in Ravenloth was an unparalleled privilege, an incredible honor.
Queen Lina was deeply unhappy with Catherine. In her opinion, not only did Catherine dare to
negotiate conditions with the royal family, but she also displayed unforgivable insolence.
Aware that his beloved consort was still displeased with Catherine, and to avoid any unnecessary
troubles that might lead to economic losses, the king decided to take the initiative to communicate with
Catherine. Through this, he could reduce the presence of Queen Lina.
“Doctor, your acupuncture technique is truly extraordinary. I would like to know approximately how
much time will it take for these peculiar ailments to be completely cured?”
The turbulence within the Ravenloth royal family had deprived him of peaceful sleep for quite some
time. If this bizarre catastrophe didn’t come to an end soon, the royal family would face irreparable
losses.
In the presence of the king, Catherine offered no courtesy. She didn’t immediately respond to the king’s
question. Instead, she sat on a nearby sofa to rest.
Once she sat down, Catherine couldn’t help but remark, “This chair is exceptionally hard, not the least
bit comfortable.”
Ravenloth Palace was known for adorning everything with gold as a symbol of its opulence.
The chair that Catherine sat in was made entirely of pure gold. Upon hearing Catherine’s words, the
people around her couldn’t help but admire the doctor’s audacity.
She was the first to show such disdain for the palace’s furnishings in front of the king.
