Chapter 985 A Sudden Visit Catherine was aware that with her current situation, openly meeting Rylan would likely be met with resistance. She decided to keep it a secret from everyone.
She went alone to the heavily guarded prison to meet Rylan. The circumstances surrounding Rylan were quite serious, and he was kept in solitary confinement. Without the guidance of the supervisor, Arvid Mckay, it would have been quite challenging for Catherine to see Rylan.
Arvid was particularly curious about Catherine. Despite his years of experience and numerous encounters with prisoners, he had never seen someone with such strong mental resilience as Rylan, making it difficult for him to handle.
Rylan, who had been in for a while, had only one request. He wanted to see Catherine. He agreed to confess after seeing her. The fact that capturing Rylan was credited to Catherine intrigued Arvid even more. After various arrangements, Catherine was finally brought in.
Upon seeing Catherine, Arvid was momentarily stunned, not expecting her to be so beautiful. Her cold demeanor and unique aura were unforgettable. Her powerful presence was truly remarkable.

"No need," Catherine replied. She believed Rylan wouldn't try to escape in this situation, and even if he did, she was confident to track him down. She also trusted that Rylan wouldn't harm her.
Arvid quickly completed the procedures, and then Catherine saw Rylan. His condition was poor. Just after a few days, his cheeks were sunken in. He looked desperate and worn out.
Upon seeing Catherine, Rylan instinctively stared at her flat abdomen. He frowned and asked, "How many months?" Catherine's expression softened when he mentioned the baby inside her. "Not even four months yet, not obvious. It'll start showing after five months," Catherine replied calmly.
Rylan's tense expression gradually eased. “Take a seat. Standing is too tiring," he said gently.
Arvid was surprised. He had always thought of Rylan as cold, ruthless, and taciturn. But now Rylan displayed a gentle and passionate attitude toward Catherine. It seemed that even Rylan couldn't resist a beautiful woman.
Catherine sat down and observed Rylan carefully. "You didn't take the medicine I gave you?" Rylan guessed that Catherine already knew everything, so there was no need for him to hide. "It's hopeless. No need to waste efforts." Catherine looked at him coldly as usual. “At least it can alleviate spain. Mr. Theo also mentioned that, as long as you cooperate, there's hope for you." Many incurable medical conditions had seen remarkable outcomes when patients maintained a healthy mindset and actively cooperated with their treatment.
Rylan looked up at Catherine seriously. "Are you concerned about me?" Catherine nodded without hesitation. " Of course. We are friends." Rylan gave a bitter smile, not expecting Catherine to still consider him a friend. He knew she wasn't speaking falsely, as Catherine was not one to lie.
Rylan asked, "Why? I thought you would hateto the core." Catherine coldly stared at him. "When we becfriends back then, did you approachwith an ulterior motive?" "Absolutely not!" Rylan answered quickly. During the days when he first met Catherine at Loewe, he was genuinely happy to have her as a friend.
Catherine shrugged and said casually, We genuinely consider each other as friends. Even though our positions are different now, putting us on opposing sides." Rylan felt a sense of relief from Catherine's words. He smiled and looked at her. "You're right. We are friends, forever friends. I'm glad you ctoday, and I'll cooperate. As long as it benefits you, I'll do whatever it takes." After stime, Catherine decided to leave. She stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'll have the medication delivered regularly. I need to rest now." Rylan didn't stop her, even though he wished to see Catherine a bit longer. However, he understood her special circumstances and knew she needed proper rest.
Instead of going back to her apartment, Catherine headed straight to the Duncan Corporation building. It was the perfect tto have afternoon coffee with Branden. She arrived there without notifying anyone.
The front desk immediately recognized her. After all, Catherine had attended many important meetings of the Duncan Corporation. They all knew Branden's fiancee.

Recently, the Duncan Corporation faced a major crisis due to rumors about the sudden illness of Branden. However Branden appeared at a globally renowned financial summit, dispelling all the rumors. The stock prices soared, restoring confidence among shareholders. The front desk approached Catherine respectfully. "Miss Swann, I'll immediately inform the president's office to send someone down to escort you." "No need!" Catherine interrupted, "I'll go up by myself." She was there just to have coffee with Branden, and there was no need to disrupt everyone's work.
The front desk dared not say more. Having worked at front desks for many large corporations, she knew spresidents wives would visit unannounced to catch their affairs. She wondered if Branden was involved in such a case.
The front desk hesitated, watching to Catherine's departing figure. She was unsure whether to inform hero m superiors or not. Offending Catherine would bring trouble, but not informing them could also lead to problems. Unaware of the speculations, Catherine reached the top-floor office. She coincidentally ran into Paxton, who was coming out to get sfiles.
Paxton froze for a moment when he saw her. Then he quickly approached, ready to assist her.
Seeing his awkward actions, Catherine couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not at the point where I can't walk." Paxton scratched his head with a wry smile. Catherine was now a high- priority-protected individual, and he couldn't afford any mistakes. Otherwise, Karl would be the first to cafter him.
Catherine rarely comes to the Duncan Corporation. Being cautious, Paxton quickly asked, "Is there something you need from Mr. Duncan?" Rental This Vampire Won't Give Up! Madoka Kitaji/Kodansha Ltd.
