Catherine's arrival to the abandoned building, of course, was no coincidence. From the beginning he had indeed followed Laura and heard their entire conversation. Catherine's hand was pointed straight ahead with the gun in her hand. The woman's move was so certain, without the slightest doubt, the more contrasted with her current cold face.
"Who are you? Why interfere with our affairs?" nathan asked, starting to shake. Although it has changed as a man, but one thing is certain from the very beginning. He was not as capable as Michael in terms of martial arts. It can even be said that he never fought with his own hands. So he tried to hide behind his stupidity.
"I? They call me Pope." Catherine was about to press the trigger, but with the rest of her consciousness Laura held onto the woman's leg and shook her head slightly. Although she does not know whether Catherine will obey him or not and it is not yet clear whether Catherine will come to help him or vice versa. However, Laura hoped that Catherine was not what she had imagined.
As a result, a shot of Catherine lay right on Nathan's foot and the man screamed in pain, as a warning sign. It wasn't his capacity to punish Nathan, after all. All of that was just a matter in the Wilson family, whereas his intention was to come here just to make sure that Laura was saved at the right time.
Catherine then turned the gun in her hand at Nathalie. The woman raised her hand with her body shaking violently. "A–aku knows nothing," said Nathalie with great fear.
"You were the one who helped provoke them from the start." Without a second thought, Catherine shot a bullet back in Nathalie's head. Until he died instantly. It was enough for him to see how cruel the woman was. Not only was being the one who took Laura's property with her mother, but still plaguing her life at this time as if what she had was not enough to satisfy their greed.
"Don't ask too many questions and come with us if you still want to live!" Threatening Catherine to Nathan who was in pain at that time while firmly gripping his arm. He then turned around and turned to the middle-aged woman not far from his position. "Mother, help me get her to the hospital," Cathy asked to hand over Nathan.
Meanwhile, Catherine desperately tries to carry Laura's body lying helplessly on her back, while Elena helps to finish Nathan off with them, before Laura's life is in danger. Fresh blood continued to flow along their journey causing the worry within Cathy to become even more.
Catherine had followed Laura for a long time and tried to protect her without knowing. She just wanted to make sure Laura was okay, because guilt had once put Laura in danger under James' pressure.
After all, all the treasures Catherine had taken care of right now were still in the name of Laura all. She knew enough herself how Laura's struggle had touched her heart, to think of the woman as her own sister, until now.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Laura is unceasingly getting into trouble and attacks from James' allies. Catherine and Elena kept watch from a distance to make sure Laura was okay.
Well, one of the lucks for Catherine to enter the Betharia area was to be able to meet the mother she had almost forgotten about. Elena who is none other than her birth mother also knows the princess who for the last twenty years was missed well in just one look.
Lucky before becoming a sacrificial offering for Betharia's followers, Catherine was first recognized by Elena. That saved him from death because the two fled together.
The first thing they did after coming out of the forbidden area with great difficulty was to go to James' residence. The one who not only manipulated Laura, but also Catherine.
James acted as a good savior and benevolent foster father since Cathy was a child. In reality, it was the man who kidnapped Catherine from her mother and tried to harm Elena so that her actions would not be exposed.
A boy who was initially innocent he was educated in such a way as to be a figure he only considered a pet dog, while for Laura James was a savior. Because he never had a family, he could only manipulate others.
Unfortunately, Elena was still alive, despite being a follower of Betharia for twenty years. However, he always hoped to meet the princess before her death to pick her up later. Luckily, Laura was able to be reunited.
Elena and Catherine immediately took Laura to the hospital with Nathan, though were astonished by her current situation. However, Nathan, who had never been hurt before and was in pain, could only go with them. Where did she know, Elena was the one who helped her as well as Laura in the forbidden area first, while the other woman, she did not know him at all.
Critical conditions and blood loss caused doctors to immediately take surgery on Laura upon their arrival in the hospital. Catherine did not hesitate to handcuff Nathan in her bed after all the treatment procedures were done. Only Laura was currently still unconscious and lying with a deathly pale face.
Although he managed to go through a critical period. In fact, it does not make Laura then realized just like that. She was still silent on the bed, while Catherine had always kept even a hand in Laura's hand since then.

The next day, Laura realized from her condition with a body that felt crumpled dim. Slowly he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a woman falling asleep in a sitting position before him.
"Cathy," said Laura limply.
Catherine realized from her dream. "Laura, are you awake?"
"Is this not a dream? Or am I already in the afterlife?" laura asked him to confirm what he was thinking.
Catherine pinched Laura's cheek slowly with a smile. "Not hurt?" tanyakanya.
Slowly Laura nodded, injured in the back causing her to have to sleep on her side as long as the wound had not dried. However, the thing he still could not believe was the figure currently before him. Did Catherine really save him?
"Cathy, Zack—" Laura did not have time to apologize Catherine had already cut her sentence.
"Already, don't talk too much! You have to rest a lot. Why is it so reckless to come alone to such a place? What would you do if my niece did anything."
Catherine did not know what had happened. He clearly understood, but chose to be quiet. The pain of betrayal as Laura felt, she felt the same. Zack never really liked it. He only made Catherine a shield that always sacrificed when the man was injured. His love story is just a one-sided feeling that will never be avenged. For Zack, the power to replace James is more than anything, not him.
After all, after returning from Betharia, Catherine observed James' residence first. The fact that she was or was not, they did not care at all, and had no intention of looking for Catherine. Even though it is only a hope, in fact, it is all just his wishful thinking. She was as worthless as Laura after becoming useless and was taken for granted just because of a woman.
Laura's assault, Catherine even watched in person with Elena on the other side. However, from the beginning the two did not intend to help, let alone save them from Laura's wrath. They deserved it after what happened, especially James.
Meanwhile, the still weak Laura caught a single Catherine word that she did not understand. "Niece? Who?" asked Laura softly.
Suddenly, this made Catherine frown. The woman in front of him was completely innocent or pretended to be plain. "Don't tell me you didn't know you were pregnant!"
"A—aku?" Laura said stammeringly, involuntarily the outstretched hand held onto the stomach just like that. Pregnancy seemed impossible to him. He even forgot when he last had contact with Michael because he never came back. So, is she really pregnant.
"Two months. The doctor said your baby is fine. You can check it through the USG later after your body is better" said Catherine casually, but not with Laura stunned until her eyes almost out of place.
"So, it looks like Michael's sister is marrying a stupid girl who doesn't even know she's pregnant." Nathan's voice from behind, again added to the many layers of wrinkles on Laura's forehead. Isn't that Nathan?
