A Replacement Bride

However, Katherine didn't explain further. She hung up the phone after asking a little

about her health. When she entered the room again, Kian was already awake, and his face

looked a lot better than before.

As soon as he saw her coming in, he smiled at her and sat up from the bed. "I feel much

more energetic than before. Thank you."

"It's just a fair trade. You gave me what I needed, so I'll treat your illness," she kept her

phone and replied to him. In fact, she wanted to ask him about the birthmark, but felt that

it was quite inappropriate, so she didn't mention it.

"When is the next treatment?" He didn't say anything much after hearing what Katherine

said.

"Come here again after one week. I'll give you a prescription. You'll need to take medicine

three times a day as per the prescription. After a week, I'll adjust it based on your

condition. Remember what I reminded you of just now? Be mindful of your diet," Katherine

replied to him as she walked over to take a pen and paper to write down the prescription

and give it to him.

Kian took the prescription from her and saw that her writings were powerful and messy. It

was nothing like her obedient look.

After he kept the prescription, he nodded. "Okay. I'll go to the Country House Restaurant in

West City. I got it."

Katherine sent him out after telling him everything she should.

…

On the other hand, in Area Seven, Joaquin's face was darkened, and Jeremy was lowering

his head with his face full of guilt. "I'm sorry, Mr. Levisay. It's my fault for not protecting

the brothers. They…"

The injuries of these people were very serious, as their vital organs were damaged.

Despite having a complete medical system in Area Seven, they still couldn't save them.

"Go and receive your respective punishments." After saying that coldly, Joaquin went to

look at the condition of the few comrades who were injured the worst.

"Mr. Levisay, their vital organs are damaged. There's really nothing I can do, but if Miss

Cornell is here, she might be able to save them." Ben's eyes were reddened. He had

always kept himself tidy, but he was disheveled right now with an unshaven beard. It was

obvious that he hadn't slept for the whole night.

"What?" Joaquin looked at him with narrowed eyes.

After putting the things in his hand down, Ben stood up and stumbled a little before

standing firmly. "That time when her brother was so severely injured, she healed him with

just a few moves. Mr. Levisay, I want to take back what I said earlier. This fiancée of yours

is really extraordinary. I guess only the ancient doctors of the few old families in Cechirus

have her level of medical skill."

"The patients won't be able to last a few hours, Mr. Levisay." The other doctors had already

stopped what they were doing and looked extremely exhausted.

Seeing that, Joaquin felt his heart sink since every one of the members in Area Seven had

been trained by him personally. His relationship with them was extraordinary.

He thought that looking into an underground black market was an easy job. It was out of

his expectation that so many people would be injured.

There were seven people lying here, and they might die at any time.

"I know." He closed his eyes and suppressed all his emotions. Then, he took out his phone

and turned around, going outside to call Katherine. When Katherine received Joaquin's

call, she was just looking into Kian's background.

After glancing at the caller ID, she answered it on speaker right away and put it on the

table. "Yes, my dear fiancé. Why are you looking for me?"

"I need your help. I have a few people here who are severely injured. They might not make

it." Joaquin's voice was deep.

"I…" With a frown, she sat up straight and held the phone in her hand.

"Don't rush into rejecting me. If you agree to save them, you can tell me any of your

conditions." He cut her off.

In fact, she didn't plan to reject him, but when she heard what he said, an idea came to

her mind, and she agreed right away. After asking for the address, she left home

immediately.

Area Seven was a military area, so no outside cars would be allowed to enter. Katherine

took a cab to the nearby area and saw Jeremy, who was waiting there.

"Miss Cornell." When Jeremy saw Katherine, his expression turned complicated since the

last time she was here, he looked down on her and even tattled on her to Beatrice.

Thinking of it now made him feel embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Katherine nodded to him, indicating him to lead the way. She followed behind

him into the mountain.

"Hurry, Miss Cornell. One of them won't make it. He's dying soon." As Katherine and

Jeremy were still walking halfway, they met Ben, who ran out anxiously to find them.

When both of them sprinted into the infirmary, they heard a grieving voice. "He's gone,

Mr. Levisay."

When Ben heard that, he was stunned, breaking down after being on edge for an entire

day. He collapsed immediately after a stumble.

Seeing that, Katherine reached out her hand to hold him. After Jeremy, who was on the

side, took over the job, only then did Katherine walk over and look at that person who had

stopped breathing. After a moment of silence, she announced calmly, "He can still be

saved."
