A Replacement Bride

Chapter 27

"Mr. Muller…" Katherine frowned subconsciously.

The whereabouts of her return to Cechirus were kept a secret, and Theodore knew that best.

To be frank, it was for Theodore's sake that she took the D3 Reageant to save a life. She never thought about saving lives personally.

"Kathy, this person is really important. He is also holding a very important piece of information. He shouldn't die just like that. It's been almost half a year since he was in a coma. Please, Kathy. Please do it for my sake." Theodore rarely pleaded to Katherine like this.

The main reason was that this time, his old friend came to beg him, and this patient was indeed an important figure.

Katherine did not respond and merely frowned, her gaze was obviously irritable.

However, seeing that Theodore was willing to throw his pride away and beg her, she sighed helplessly. "No more next time, Mr. Muller."

"Does that mean you agree to do it? I'll arrange for a ride right now. You…" When Theodore heard Katherine's words, his face was immediately filled with excitement.

On the contrary, Katherine pulled a long face.

Did Theodore have to tell the world who she was?

She rubbed her temples and uttered with a headache. "Mr. Muller, I can help, but on one condition. The patient must be brought here, and no one else is allowed to enter. You should know how important I

am, and if you really think the person you're talking about is more important than me, you can expose my identity."

Katherine's words were a little heavy, sobering Theodore up instantly.

He was indeed a little flustered earlier, so he forgot about that for a moment.

Now that he had calmed down, Theodore could not wait to give himself a slap in the face.

"I was too impulsive just now. Kathy, I'll tell them right now to send the patient over as soon as possible, but their leader may want to come in…"

"If he comes in, I won't save him." Katherine was stern.

A comatose patient did not matter, but she could not guarantee that a living person would not reveal her identity.

"Okay." Seeing Katherine's firm attitude, Theodore stopped requesting further.

Katherine returned to Cechirus in secret this time, and it would be really troublesome if her whereabouts were leaked.

Theodore turned around and made a phone call, arguing a few words with the other party, and finally hung up.

"They've agreed to send the patient over immediately, and it is estimated that they will arrive within an hour."

"Alright." Katherine nodded, ignored this matter, and went to see Alex first.

Fortunately, Alex recovered pretty well.

Katherine read the data and noticed that the activity of brain cells was very high. Although it had not returned to its normal level, it had already reached one-third of the norm. It was estimated that he would be completely recovered in two to three months.

However, since he had been in a coma for several years, all aspects of his body's functions had declined, so recovery would be a slow process.

Currently, Alex could not speak yet. When Katherine went to see him, he stared at her blankly.

Theodore quickly set up the operating room. Knowing that Katherine went to see Alex, he followed along.

"His recovery seems to be smooth. There should be no problem with the medicine." Theodore looked at Alex's condition, and then looked at Katherine's different gaze.

He has studied the human brain for more than 40 years, yet this was the first time he had seen such a miraculous drug that could actually restore the activity of dead brain cells.

"Everyone's physical condition is different, and his example cannot be used as a general case. What did the hospital say? Can they send us some brain-dead patients for clinical trials?" Katherine shook her head. She was not as confident as Theodore.

"Not yet. I've already contacted many tertiary hospitals in Cechirus, and we'll be notified immediately when there is news." Theodore shook his head, also a little disappointed.

Anyway, human clinical trials sounded quite indecent, so very few family members were willing to send their patients over.

"You should contact minor hospitals too. It's best to get a few more people." Katherine frowned, but she was relieved after pondering about it.

After seeing Alex, Katherine and Theodore went to the office, and as soon as they sat down, a phone rang. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She then glanced at her phone. Instantly, annoyance painted her face. Jorge must be up to no good since he was calling.

Theodore also noticed the change in Katherine's expression, so glanced at her phone screen unintentionally and saw the words 'scumbag' written on it.

His eyebrows twitched. Scumbag? Did Katherine get cheated on? he wondered.

Just as he was about to ask, Katherine answered the phone irritably, but there was no emotion in her tone. "What's up, Dad?"

"Kathy, the Levisays have a great project recently, and Cornell Group also took a fancy to this project. Now that you've decided to marry Joaquin, can you please ask them to hand over this project to us?"

Jorge's tone was flattering. If he had a tail, he was probably wagging it right now.

A mocking smile appeared on Katherine's face as she replied vaguely, "Sure. I'll mention this to Joaquin, but I'm not sure whether the Levisays will agree to it."

"Okay. Go and talk to them. I'm sure they'll agree." It would be weird if they did not agree. Joaquin was just a cripple now. The Levisays must be grateful that someone was finally willing to marry him, so they must be trying to hold on to Katherine tightly.

Whenever he thought that the Cornells' status would rise with the Levisays, Jorge could no longer hide his excitement.

"Mom! Look at Dad!" Rosemary was about to die of anger.

On the way to Levisay Residence yesterday, she was abandoned by Katherine on the road. As a result, she missed the opportunity to meet Robert. Jorge also promised to seek justice for her, but now what?

"Enough. I told you not to provoke Katherine for the time being. You're the dignified daughter of our family. Why would you compare yourself with an illegitimate child? Once she gets married to the Levisays and we had made full use of her, you can torture her as much as you like! Why do you have to hold a grudge now?"

Lisa raised her hand and patted the back of Rosemary's hand, looking like she was frustrated with her daughter.

Rosemary felt more at ease after hearing those words, but she still felt resentful. "Mom, I don't think Katherine is that simple. If that b*tch marries into the Levisays, wouldn't she deliberately make them go against us?"

"Haha. Do you really think she's that capable? Her? She's just an uneducated bumpkin. How could she think of that? Don't worry. You will have everything she has in the future, and maybe even more. What you have to do now is to act like the daughter of the Cornells. Listen, you're Robert Levisay's future wife, the mistress of the Levisays," Lisa sneered disdainfully, not taking Katherine to heart at all.

"By the way, Mom, I like a few things that the Levisays gave to that little slut last time. Can I take them?" When Rosemary imagined that she would be the mistress of the Levisays in the future and that Katherine would have to listen to her, her mood instantly lightened.

"You can take whatever you like. They are all yours anyway." Lisa waved her hand nonchalantly, stating matter-of-factly.
