A Replacement Bride

Chapter 111

"What a farce!" Theodore was exasperated by the Leigh Family's arrogance. After all, Katherine was a

genius doctor who was treated with respect wherever she went, which was something that neither of

the Leigh Family members showed when they met her. The more he dwelled on that, the angrier he

felt, having his eyes fixed on London's haughty expression. "In that case, I guess it's better for the

Leigh Family to leave. Go back to Bellerium! I'd love to see who is willing to treat Hebert! I'm so sorry

about this, Kathy. If I had known this was how they would react, I wouldn't have asked for your help to

look into Hebert's condition."

While Katherine appeared unconcerned in response to Theodore's apology, London was unhappy and

unable to believe her eyes, seeing how the revered professor treated the lady with so much respect.

This can't be! Why would Professor Muller treat a lady who is in her twenties with so much respect?

Who is she? And what has she done to fool Professor Muller? "Mr. Muller, we took my father to

Hovington, hoping to have his disease cured because we trusted you, but we didn't expect to be fooled

like that. This is unacceptable! I don't care how good of a doctor you claimed that she is because I'm

not buying any of that! If you don't think you're capable of treating my father, you shouldn't have lied to

us about the existence of a genius doctor. Do you think it's fun to see us traveling for miles for

nothing?" London angrily questioned Theodore, glaring at the latter.

After hearing the lady, Theodore was so mad that his anger was starting to take a toll on his body. "Get

lost if you won't trust us! Leave now! You're better off elsewhere!" Theodore berated London grumpily

as he began to cough violently.

"Take it easy, Mr. Muller." Katherine sighed, seeing how angry the old man was getting because of her.

At the same time, she took a step forward and got a hold of Theodore, whereupon she immediately

applied pressure on a few acupuncture points on his back. The next second, Theodore, who was

coughing violently, was instantly relieved as he was able to catch his breath. He then gratefully gazed

at Katherine while feeling sorry and embarrassed for her. "I'm sorry, Kathy. I should have seen this

coming before approaching you for help. This is all my fault! The Leigh Family is… Alas!"

"You have nothing to do with this, Mr. Muller." Katherine shook her head, appearing unconcerned as

she had always been.

"Quit pretending, won't you? I don't know what you've done to make Professor Muller like you so much,

but I'm sure you don't have any sense of shame at all." London angrily teased Katherine.

"What a farce!" Theodore was exasperated by the Leigh Family's arrogance. After all, Katherine was a

genius doctor who was treated with respect wherever she went, which was something that neither of

the Leigh Family members showed when they met her. The more he dwelled on that, the angrier he

felt, having his eyes fixed on London's haughty expression. "In that case, I guess it's better for the

Leigh Family to leave. Go back to Bellerium! I'd love to see who is willing to treat Hebert! I'm so sorry

about this, Kathy. If I had known this was how they would react, I wouldn't have asked for your help to

look into Hebert's condition."

"Your mother is about to die, so what are you waiting for? Unless you're counting on her death to hold

us responsible." Katherine glimpsed London, reminding her about her mother.

It was then that London thought about Tessa and turned around to check on her. She then saw her

mother lying on the ground and barely breathing, with a pale face. Worried for her mother, London

wasted no more time arguing with Idris and quickly ordered her men to carry Tessa away. When she

walked past Katherine to make it to the entrance, she glared at the lady with hostility and left the place.

As soon as London was gone, it felt as if the entire ward was filled with cool and refreshing air. "I'm

sorry for my sister's misbehavior. For that, I'd like to apologize on her behalf, Miss. Thanks for saving

my father." A man stayed behind even though the others had left the ward. He was seen wearing an

ordinary sports outfit that no one would bother to look at, but even so, he seemed like an educated,

decent gentleman due to his good looks and polite attitude.

In the meantime, Katherine was intrigued by the man's reaction, finding him somewhat interesting.

After all, she didn't see him at all because he had been standing in a hidden corner like a fly on the wall

all this time until he made his presence felt after the Leigh Family members left.

"Kathy, this is Hebert's older son, Albert Leigh. Not long after he was born, his mother passed away.

Although he was always neglected in the Leigh Family, Hebert still treats him the way a dutiful father

should. However, his wife won't stop…" Theodore whispered to Katherine, introducing Albert to her.

Nevertheless, Albert acted as if he couldn't hear Theodore's words as he continued to keep his eyes on

Katherine. "Please. I'm counting on you to save my father."

"You knew I could save him?" Katherine asked.

Albert smiled and honestly answered, "You didn't seem surprised when you assessed my father's

condition, so I suppose you must know a lot about his illness. Furthermore, I believe that Professor

Muller will never lie to us. If he says you can do it, you can do it."

Katherine was amused upon hearing his words, but at the same time, she didn't reject the man either.

Instead, she made herself clear and said, "Well, I charge a fortune. Are you sure you can afford it?"

"I'll pay any price as long as you can save my father's life." Albert gazed at Katherine.

Stunned by the man's overly enthusiastic gaze, Katherine felt her heart skipping a beat and chuckled a

moment later. "Alright then, I'll do it."

"Your mother is ebout to die, so whet ere you weiting for? Unless you're counting on her deeth to hold

us responsible." Ketherine glimpsed London, reminding her ebout her mother.
