All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 977 At Death’s Door

In less than half a day, news that Branden collapsed at a press conference and was fighting for his life had spread like wildfire, causing the company’s stock to plummet and sending waves of panic throughout the organization.

At this moment, the VIP treatment area at Casier Hospital was crowded with high-profile figures, rendering it nearly inaccessible.

Upon seeing Will Brown, the hospital director, emerge from the consultation room, Karl immediately asked, “How’s the situation?”

Will, usually assertive, became cautious under Karl’s imposing inquiry. He carefully replied, “Mr. Duncan, the situation is dire. We still can’t pinpoint the cause of Branden’s coma, and we’re only able to slow the decline of his bodily functions with machines. As for Miss Swann…”

Seeing Will hesitate, Karl impatiently snapped, “Spit it out! You’re not holding up the sky. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Will, who had once treated a younger Karl and held a deep respect for him, replied, “Mr. Duncan, Miss Swann isn’t in life-threatening danger. However, the amount of toxic gas she inhaled, combined with the physical struggle, means we’re likely unable to save the baby.”

Karl had anticipated this. In light of the events, it seemed nearly impossible to save the unborn child. He thought the blame lay with Branden for not informing him earlier and lamented the absence of protection from God.

“Ensure Catherine’s well-being above all.” Karl Duncan sighed. “If the child can’t be saved, so be it. Her health is what matters.”
