Chapter 500 Do You Know Me?
In the dungeon.
Compared to other dungeons, the environment here was much better. There was no dark and damp
atmosphere, and everyone was imprisoned in separate cells, equipped with everything they needed.
The only thing missing was probably freedom.
After revealing her identity, Catherine was taken to the bottom floor by the guards. Hayden’s crimes
were too severe, so he was imprisoned here.
The sound of the door opening startled Hayden inside the cell.
Since he entered, Hayden had been sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing the wall, ignoring everyone.
But this time, upon hearing footsteps, he immediately put down his legs, turned around, and smiled at
the person who entered.
“Doctor, please!”
Catherine sat down without any hesitation. Although it was a dungeon, the environment was still
decent.
After she sat down, Hayden began to observe her carefully. His gaze didn’t carry any hostility. It was a
particularly gentle gaze. There seemed to be admiration and respect in it.
After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, “Doctor, do you have any questions you want to ask
me? Feel free to ask.”
Looking at his confident expression as if he had everything under control, Catherine showed disdain in
her eyes.
“Why would I have any questions to ask you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer answer surprised Hayden, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. “Doctor, aren’t you
curious about the truth behind all this? Or rather, you’re not curious why I went to such great lengths to
give you the Passam Stone?”
Catherine shrugged, seemingly indifferent. “How about I give it back to you?”
After saying that, she took out the box she had just received and placed it in front of Hayden. Since
Hayden had already given the stone to Catherine, it was impossible to take it back.
Hayden found Catherine’s reaction too strange. He felt like he could never see through her thoughts.
“Doctor, if it wasn’t for the Passam Stone, why would you help me?”
Without Catherine’s help, he could still defeat the vicious Lina, but it would require much more effort.
“Do you really want to know?” Catherine raised an eyebrow at him. Hayden looked sincere. “Yes,
please give me an answer.”
Since Hayden asked sincerely, Catherine decided to be merciful and gave him an answer.
“I’m not helping you. I just simply despise that Queen Lina, who is ugly and constantly bothers me.”
“What?”
Hayden was shocked by this answer. He didn’t expect that the reason for his success after so much
effort was not because of his hard work but because Catherine did not like Lina.
Then, Catherine decided to make things clear.
“Do you think I didn’t realize your elaborate plan to bring me to Ravenloth and use me to expose
Queen Lina’s crimes in front of the royal members, forcing the king to admit everything?”
At first, Catherine was indeed unaware. The king of Ravenloth indeed issued the bounty mission, and
Withal was in charge of coordinating it. At that time, she simply took it as a routine task.
But when she encountered Hayden disguised as Harry, she sensed something was off. Upon further
investigation, she discovered too many coincidences. Everything seemed too natural, as if someone
had carefully orchestrated it.
Knowing that it was a trap set by someone, Catherine didn’t withdraw. Instead, she and Withal set up a
plan to lure Hayden, the mastermind, out into the open.
Hayden had no ill intentions toward her, and he didn’t withhold the promised reward. Since that was the
case, she didn’t need to deal with Hayden herself. After all, he was now imprisoned and deprived of his
freedom.
Hayden looked at Catherine in shock, his heart trembling uncontrollably. This was all beyond his
expectations. He didn’t expect Catherine to know everything.
“Doctor, then why…”
But before he could finish his sentence, Catherine interrupted him.
“I’ve already explained it!”
Catherine didn’t like repeating herself. If Hayden couldn’t understand, it was his problem.
Understanding Catherine’s intention, Hayden didn’t dare to say anything further.
“Then why did you come to the dungeon today?” he asked, confusion evident in his eyes. He realized
that he had overestimated himself. In front of Catherine, he was nothing.
“Do you know me?” Catherine suddenly spoke up.
The emotions that Hayden had just managed to calm down surged once again. He looked at Catherine
with an incredulous expression on his face.
“How could you possibly recognize me?
It was simply impossible, after all, back in the day…
“Your reactions tell me that we must have met before!”
Catherine didn’t hide it from Hayden; she could remember anyone she had met, no matter how long
ago. But she was certain she had never met Hayden before, perhaps because he had changed his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmappearance.
Hayden hoped that Catherine could recognize him, but he knew it was not possible. He smiled bitterly,
looking at Catherine.
“Doctor, you are the biggest redemption in my life, do you understand? If it weren’t for you saving me
back then, I would probably no longer be alive.”
The incident happened seven years ago when Hayden had successfully undergone plastic surgery and
became Harry. Although he was exiled, Queen Lina still didn’t trust him, as Harry was the queen’s
adopted son. Having been raised by the queen since birth, he was very likely to become her biggest
threat one day. To be on the safe side, she sent assassins to hunt him down.
To escape the pursuit, Harry infiltrated the crowd of people kidnapped and sold in the black market.
At that time, Catherine happened to be on a mission and encountered the traffickers harming Harry and
others. When their lives were hanging by a thread, it was Catherine who took action to save Harry.
At that time, Harry was locked in a small cage specifically used for holding animals, cowering in a
corner. Catherine didn’t even notice him.
When Catherine appeared, everyone respectfully called her “Dr. Sugar.” When she ordered the release
of the captive, those traffickers let him go without even hesitating for a moment.
At that moment, for Harry, Catherine was like a god sent from heaven, a deity specifically sent to
rescue him.
Although it was just a silhouette, her figure was deeply engraved in his mind. After successfully
escaping to Ravenloth, he remained low-key, biding his time, never ceasing his search for Catherine.
He didn’t know why, but he only wanted to find her, as if finding her would bring him redemption.
The Passam Stone was a relic of his mother’s, something he cherished deeply. He wanted to use it to
thank Catherine for her past kindness. After recounting the past, Hayden looked up, his gaze devout
and infatuated as he stared at Catherine.
“Doctor, I’ve wanted to say ‘thank you’ for a long time! Thank you sincerely for your help back then!”
