Chapter 326 So Powerful
The reason Erick said there was not a single good person among the Winfreds dated back to the relationship between Xavier and Erick’s mother many years ago.
While the Winfreds had wealth, it had dwindled in Xavier’s father’s time. To revive the Winfreds, Xavier married Jeremy’s mother and used her family’s money and his business skills to turn the Winfred Group into a successful company.
Erick’s mother and Xavier were originally college sweethearts. However, they separated after graduating. When they met again later, Xavier lied about being married and got back together with Erick’s mother.
When Jeremy’s mother found out about Erick mother’s pregnancy, she confronted them.
As a result, Erick’s mother had a tough delivery and passed away shortly after giving birth to Erick.
To prevent Jeremy’s mother’s family from withdrawing their investment, Xavier abandoned Erick and left him to be cared for by his grandparents.
Erick’s grandparents were devastated by their daughter’s sudden death, and their health declined. Within a few years, they passed away, leaving Erick as an orphan who was eventually sent to an orphanage.
Erick spoke monotonously about his past as if he were telling an unrelated story. His expression remained cold as he locked eyes with Catherine.
“What good can my father, who abandoned me long ago, expect from me now?”
The bitterness in his look showed how cold Erick’s heart was. After listening to his story, Catherine remained composed.

Her expression lacked both mockery and sympathy because she was used to. hardships, which made Erick’s story seem ordinary to her. She then asked her second question, Wanna leave?”
Erick hesitated for a moment, then looked at Catherine with a mocking expression. “I have no value left, will you help me?” Catherine narrowed her eyes at him. ” Answer my question.”
Erick nodded without hesitation. “Yes!”
The Winfreds treated him unfairly, and his connection to Xavier was severed when Xavier abandoned him. All he felt now was anger. If it weren’t for Jeremy’s mother, his own mother might still be alive.
He could have had a better childhood without all the suffering. His grandparents were well-educated and refined people, and he could see from his mother’s photos that she was a kind woman.
Catherine grabbed her phone, dialed Ronin, and said, “Get the things ready. I’m bringing him with me.”
Then she ended the call. Erick had no idea what she was planning. He was weak and could only lie on the bed, watching Catherine.
Catherine glanced around and spotted a wheelchair nearby. She wheeled it over and helped Erick onto it. When everything was ready, her phone buzzed.
Catherine picked up the call, hearing Ronin’s breathless voice. “Catherine, I’ve distracted them. You’ve got three minutes to get to the entrance, and I’ll be there to pick you up. Hurry!”
Catherine spoke calmly, “Don’t worry, we have enough time.”
She pushed the wheelchair and headed straight out of the ward. Instead of taking the elevator, she chose the stairs.

There were five floors between here and the ground floor. Erick was too weak to walk, and even if he tried, he wouldn’t reach the entrance in three minutes, let alone thirty.
He didn’t understand why Catherine was so confident in her words. Catherine wheeled Erick over to the staircase railing. She opened her arms, preparing to lift Erick and place him on the railing. With a raised eyebrow and a curious look, she asked, “You ok?”
Erick grasped Catherine’s plan the moment he saw the staircase railing. He knew she was truly determined to get him out of there. Without hesitation, he nodded and said, “I’m ok.”
Giving it a try wouldn’t hurt. Seeing Erick’s determined expression, Catherine couldn’t help but smile. She whispered, “Don’t worry, you won’t die.
Without further ado, she grabbed Erick and swiftly jumped off the railing. Taking advantage of the railing’s slick surface, they slid down the stairs one after the other.
The whole thing felt like an exciting roller coaster. Erick was weak, and his senses were dull, making the exhilarating sensation even more intense. His innate fear was amplified, making him feel even more vulnerable than usual.
As they descended from the fifth floor, their combined weight without protection meant they would likely get hurt.
Erick knew even if he didn’t get killed by this, he would probably break several ribs. Closing his eyes, he braced himself for the pain.
“Thud!”
A sound echoed, but the expected pain didn’t follow. Even though they still bumped into something, it wasn’t too hard, and the pain didn’t last long.
In a moment of confusion, Erick opened his eyes and saw Catherine flipping herself over gracefully and landing without a hitch.

Pulling off such a feat required immense arm strength. Erick silently looked at Catherine, focusing on her slim arms. It was difficult to believe that her slender and delicate arms could be so incredibly strong.
“Hey, hey!”
Catherine’s stern voice snapped Erick back from his thoughts, leaving him puzzled as he looked at her. Without a word, Catherine took his arm and quickly led him away.
When they reached the hospital entrance, a black car sped towards them. Catherine swiftly opened the car door and pushed Erick inside, following right behind him.
Before the car door had even shut completely, Ronin revved the engine and accelerated.
“Catherine, you did it in just two minutes and thirty-eight seconds, faster than expected!” Ronin’s enthusiastic voice revealed his excitement. He was clearly thrilled with how quickly Catherine was..
“Those idiot guards are probably still stuck in the bathroom. They might not have even realized what happened!” Ronin added.
Compared to Ronin’s excitement, Catherine remained composed. She simply advised, “Focus on driving!”

Ronin calmed down and concentrated on driving. Erick sat in the back seat, silently watching the two of them. In his chilly gaze, there was a touch of admiration.
He liked their teamwork, and the trust between them.
