All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 489 Who Is He

Withal cast a disdainful glance at the king of Ravenloth, surprised at how quickly the old man could

change his demeanor.

The same king who had been shouting and demanding their submission now wore a completely

different, ingratiating expression. It made Withal wonder if the king’s reputation was indeed so

insignificant.

“Catherine, what’s our next move?” Withal inquired, He knew that Catherine was the only one he truly

cared about. Whatever Catherine said, he would heed.

Catherine seemed to be lazy at that moment.

She responded with just two words, ” Let’s go.”

Following her lead, they departed with an air of nonchalance.

Queen Lina was fuming, and her face flushed with anger.

She lashed out at the king, “Your Majesty, how can you let these three walk away like this? They

insulted the royal family and even injured our people. Are you just going to let them go unpunished?”

The king looked exasperated.

He tried to calm the furious queen. ” Lina, let this matter be. Say no more.”

Queen Lina, however, was not willing to relent. She couldn’t fathom why the king would be so indulgent

toward these individuals.

“Your Majesty, we should not spare them. We should arrest them all and throw them into the dungeons.

Let them experience Ravenloth’s punishments and understand the severity of disrespecting the royal

family!”

The king heard his beloved woman’s words, and his face darkened. He sharply retorted, “Do you

realize the consequences if you go through with this?”

Unperturbed, Queen Lina coldly huffed and said, “They are just three nameless pawns. What harm

could they possibly do to us?”

Staring at his beloved concubine, who still wore a look of ignorance and innocence, the king couldn’t

help but angrily shout, “Foolish!”

“Do you want to bring about the destruction of Ravenloth?”

It was the first time the queen had seen the king so stern, and she was momentarily taken aback,

unsure of how to react.

All of a sudden…

A maid rushed out of the inner chamber, her face filled with panic.

“Your Majesty, it’s an emergency. Prince Levi’s illness has flared up again, and the royal physicians

have no solution. Please come and check His Highness!”

Upon hearing his son’s agonizing cries, the king burst into the inner chamber, with Queen Lina

following closely behind.

The physicians knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

The king’s face darkened.

He loudly demanded, “When the crown prince is suffering like this, do you mean to say you have no

solution?”.

The physicians all lowered their heads in silence. Seeing her son writhing in pain, his face pallid and

contorted, Queen Lina couldn’t contain her anguish.

She yelled at the physicians in desperation, “You bunch of useless people, what good are you to the

royal family?”

All the physicians had arrived, but not a single one could alleviate Prince Levi’s suffering or save his life

like Catherine.

The chief physician had no option.

He spoke up under life-threatening circumstances, “Your Majesty, at the moment, the only one who

might be able to save His Highness is Dr. Sugar.”

In Henry, they all found a glimmer of hope. In the king’s eyes, a hint of powerlessness and

helplessness showed, as they had recently greatly offended Dr. Sugar.

Summoning her back to provide treatment might be challenging. As the three were on the verge of

leaving the palace gates, they coincidentally encountered Paxton.

He had returned from official duties.

Paxton had already heard about the recent events and couldn’t help but worry for the old king. Daring

to challenge Catherine in their presence, the old king might have a death wish.

Moreover, Catherine was formidable in her own right, and anyone considering harming her was

incredibly foolish.

Catherine suddenly felt an intense gaze on her and looked up to see Harry not far ahead.

Harry noticed Catherine’s attention and immediately approached her.

After Branden also noticed Harry, his eyes darkened instantly.

He disliked how this man looked, particularly the possessiveness and desire he displayed when gazing

at Catherine. It made Branden want to get rid of him.

Harry approached Catherine with a pained and distressed expression on his face.

“Doctor, could you do me a favor?”

This was a completely different demeanor from when Catherine had seen him earlier. Catherine wasn’t

particularly interested in unrelated people. She wasn’t a saint, so why should she go around helping

everyone?

Catherine was about to depart when Harry suddenly rushed up to her. Branden raised his foot and sent

him flying with a kick.

“Whether you’re a prince or a king, if you dare to covet Catherine, don’t blame me for not being polite,”

he thought.

Harry never expected the man beside Catherine to make a move suddenly. From the moment he first

saw this man, he knew he must be extraordinary.

He had tried to use his connections to investigate, but he couldn’t find any information about this man,

not even his name.

Such a mysterious man couldn’t be just an assistant, Harry thought. Moreover, he could tell that the

way this man looked at the doctor was different.

Catherine didn’t pay any attention to Branden’s actions. Her man had suddenly made a move, so there

must be a reason for it. Harry propped himself up with his elbows, looking at Catherine with a humble

gaze.

“Doctor, are you going to stand by and watch someone die?”

“Hmph!” Catherine gave a disdainful snort and took a step closer to Harry, her icy eyes filled with

mockery. “If you want help, go find someone from the church!”

Catherine’s response gave Harry a glimmer of hope.

“Of course not. As long as the doctor is willing to help me, I can offer a reward.

“Reward?” Catherine murmured lightly and then let out a cold, mocking laugh.

“Do you plan to make a deal with me using a gold mine, just like your old man?”

“No!” Harry immediately denied Catherine’s statement. “Doctor, as long as you’re willing to help me, I

can give you a piece of Passam Stone.”

Catherine paused momentarily, her cold face showing a slight deepening of her gaze.

“You have a Passam Stone?”

Harry nodded. “I once obtained a piece of the Passam Stone. If you are willing to help me, I can offer

this stone to you. What intrigued Catherine wasn’t that Harry had the Passam Stone, but how he knew

she was searching for it.

The Passam Stone was the name of a meteorite that was said to contain immense energy. It had fallen

in a once barren area, but the impact had caused flowers to bloom everywhere.

Many people believed this miraculous meteorite had regenerative properties. Scientists and

researchers were eager to study its mysteries. Catherine also wanted the Passam Stone, but her

purpose was different from others.

She had been searching for its whereabouts for years, but she had kept her efforts a secret, even from

the members of the Hacker Alliance. How did Harry know about her quest? Who was he, after all?
