Chapter 981 Thomas and Karl’s Persistence
Branden recovered quickly. He only took a small amount of poison and it did not cause much damage to his body. And with Thomas’s full treatment, his condition was now quite good.
Thomas not only saved Branden, but he even saved the baby in Catherine’s belly.
Catherine thought she could finally be happier in the days ahead, but to her surprise, Thomas ordered her to stay in bed for a month. “Cassie, you are in a special situation. It was a fluke that you were able to get out of danger so easily this time. You behave yourself next and rest at home for a month.”
When Catherine was just about to retort, Karl came in.
The elder, who was usually majestic in all aspects, had a hunched back today with tears in his eyes. “Catherine, can you do me a favor?”
Seeing his appearance, Catherine couldn’t refuse him. “Mr. Karl, just tell me. I’ll help you.”
“I’m getting old, and all I want is everyone in my family is healthy. I may not have many days left. I just hope you can rest for a month for my sake. I know you’re in good health, but I’m not. I can no longer withstand any stimulation.”
Branden sat on the side, holding back his laughter. Sure enough, only his grandfather could persuade Catherine.
He was worried that there was no way to persuade Catherine, but now he didn’t even need to do anything. His grandfather alone could take care of everything.
Catherine knew that Karl was pretending, even the tears in his eyes were fake.
But she knew that Karl’s worry about her was real.
Both elders, Thomas and Karl, had asked her to rest for a month. If she couldn’t take care of herself, both Thomas and Karl would suffer from insomnia.
Thinking about this, Catherine decided to agree. Anyway, the matter was handled quite well at the moment. The overall situation had been decided, and the rest could be handed over to others for handling.
Catherine nodded, “Okay, I promise.”
Upon hearing her promise, Karl immediately changed his expression. “
Good, good. You’re my good granddaughter-in-law.”
After speaking to Catherine, Karl immediately ordered the old butler, ” Go and arrange for two competent servants. Catherine and Branden are both young, and they don’t know how to take care of themselves. You need to arrange for experienced old maids.”
The old butler could understand Karl, and he was also happy for Branden. ” Mr. Karl, don’t worry. I’ll go and arrange it right now. I’ll personally select the right ones.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Catherine was a bit helpless. “Mr. Karl, thank you. But we’re fine…”.
Before she could finish her words, Thomas interrupted her, “I’m in favor of Karl on this matter. There are a lot of things to avoid when a woman is pregnant. As smart as you guys are, you don’t understand all those old traditions, and there are still some things you have to follow.”
Catherine looked toward Branden, hoping he would say something. To her surprise, Branden turned his head to the ceiling and completely ignored her.
Before she could say anything more, the two old men were already chatting, not caring about her feelings at all.
As they chatted, they got more and more excited. Worried that their chatting in the room would affect Catherine’s rest, they decided to go out and go on the chatting.
After they left, Catherine’s cold eyes slowly fell on Branden. “Why didn’t you stop them just now?”
Branden shrugged his shoulders with a rather innocent expression. “Do you think I could stop the things you can’t stop?”
After Catherine thought carefully about it, she thought he was right. Even she couldn’t stop Karl’s arrangement, let alone Branden.
Branden smiled inwardly when he saw the changes she had in her expression. He thought that pregnant women would really get stupid after pregnancy, and Catherine was becoming more and more gullible now.
