A Replacement Bride

Chapter 28

"Thanks, Mom." Rosemary happily thanked Lisa and went upstairs to choose the items.

The Levisays were very generous as the gifts they sent were very valuable. Even if one had money, one might not be able to buy them.

Rosemary could not wait to wear these things and show them off to her friends.

Jorge merely frowned and glanced at his daughter without stopping her.

Lisa was right. Katherine's belongings belonged to the Cornells, so there was no problem for Rosemary to take a few belongings of their family.

Currently, he was anxiously waiting for a reply from the Levisays. As long as he gets the project, the Cornells would not only upgrade in terms of company status but also their family status. In the future, he would finally be able to walk on Hovington's streets with power.

"The other party promised to send the patient within two hours." Theodore communicated with the other party several times before finally coming to a conclusion.

Noticing that Katherine's expression did not look good after the phone call, Theodore knew that the Cornells must be stirring up trouble for her again.

"Alright. I'm going to rest for a while. Call me when the patient arrives." Katherine nodded and found an empty room to rest.

She slept well last night, but she wanted to find out which project Jorge was interested in and see if there was any room for manipulation.

After entering the room and locking the door, Katherine took off the watch on her wrist, disassembled the dial, and assembled it into a microcomputer in a short while.

The firewall of Levisay Group was built to be strong, so it took her some effort to break in. After seeing several recent projects in the hands of Levisay Group, she finally settled on a beauty cream project.

Cornell Group was involved in the cosmetic business. Back then, the Olsens were a family of traditional medicine practitioners, and Katherine's grandfather had many royal recipes from the olden days, among which there were several recipes for beauty.

After that, Elsie fell head over heels for Jorge, that scumbag. She was tricked by him and gave him two very important royal recipes.

Over the years, Jorge had been doing well in Hovington with the recipe given by Elsie, especially in the field of beauty, which earned him a good reputation.

This time, Jorge must be aiming for this project.

Levisay Group's beauty cream was patented by the country, and the pre-advertising had already been released. Before production started, the pre-sale had already exceeded 100 million. It was conceivable how much profit would be made once it was put into production.

The beauty industry was a profitable one, so Jorge had some wishful thinking.

Katherine pondered thoughtfully for a while. The technicians from the Levisay Group had already discovered that someone had invaded their system and started to launch an attack. Without delay, Katherine quickly exited the system and erased all her traces before turning off the computer.

"Beauty." Katherine tapped her fingers on the table a few times before taking out her phone and sending a message.

WW:

After sending the message, she put away her phone and opened the door without waiting for the other party to reply.

At LW Laboratory HQ in Fontan, Dylan Longman almost fell out of his chair after reading Katherine's message.

When Katherine came out, Theodore happened to bring someone in from the outside in a hurry, with a stretcher behind him and a person lying on it.

Katherine glanced at the person and frowned. This man's injuries were so serious that he seemed to be breathing his last few breaths.

He had extensive burns all over his body, and he was already brain dead. She knew just by looking at him that they must have paid a hefty amount to keep him alive. It was already a miracle that he could survive until now.

"Kathy, the patient is here. Can we perform the surgery now?" Theodore hurriedly trotted over when Katherine came out.

Katherine frowned at the man, thought for a moment, and then asked Theodore, "Ask them if they would like to try our latest experimental drug. This patient has been brain-dead for a long time. D3 Reageant will be useless to him. If I perform the surgery, I can only heal his external injuries, not his brain. If they don't want to, they have to send him back because I can't save him."

Theodore was rendered speechless. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He was afraid that if he sent the patient back again, he would be beaten to death.

However, if Katherine said there was no cure for him, she should be right.

Theodore called Joaquin while shivering and secretly glanced at Katherine, who had a frosty face, before repeating her words.

Joaquin was silent after hearing those words. He tapped the car window lightly with his fingers and spoke after a long time, "Can I speak to the operating doctor?"

Theodore hesitated for a moment, covered his phone, and looked at Katherine. "The other party wants to talk to you."

"Okay." Katherine frowned, but she did not refuse.

Theodore then handed her the phone.

Katherine took the phone, and she spoke in a cold and indifferent voice, "Hello, I'm Dr. C."

Joaquin paused for a moment, finding the voice to be oddly familiar.

However, after thinking about it, he thought his assumption was absurd and ridiculous.

No matter how powerful Katherine was, she could not be the world-renowned medical genius known as Dr. C. He must have overthought it.

"Can I learn about the main functions and effects of your experimental drug? If I want to use it on my team member, I must be responsible for him."

Joaquin spoke in his original voice without changing it.

Katherine recognized him instantly after hearing his voice.

It was that nasty bastard who broke into her hotel room!

She was a little surprised at the identity of the other party. Theodore said that this team had made outstanding contributions to Cechirus.

The person who could make Theodore say that was definitely not an ordinary person.

"The main function of this experimental drug is to regenerate brain cells and restore activity. It has a good effect on brain-dead patients. The results of the current test on mice are effective, but I can't guarantee you it'll work on a patient. I do have a recovered patient who is currently using our experimental drug, though."

Katherine temporarily put aside her grievances against Joaquin and explained the effect of the experimental drug to him calmly.

Joaquin's face was full of surprise. Could this experimental drug actually be more effective than the D3 Reageant?

Could a brain-dead person be saved?

He grew even more curious about Dr. C, and judging by her voice, the other party should be a young person, a woman at that.

The rumored miracle doctor, Dr. C, was actually a woman! Many people might not believe it if her identity was leaked.

"As long as I can save him, I'll agree to your conditions." Joaquin hesitated for a moment before quickly making a decision.

Judging by Hawk's current situation, no one could save him now. If the medicine Katherine said was really effective and could save lives, he did not mind trying it at all.

In the worst-case scenario, he would die.

"Okay, he can't come into contact with the outside world during the treatment, but after he wakes up, I'll ask Mr. Muller to take a video and send it to you so you can be assured." Katherine admired the other party's simplicity and decisiveness even though he was quite annoying. However, compared to her fiancé, this man was way better.
