A Replacement Bride

Chapter 40

Katherine went to the Academic Affairs Office on the third floor.

There were only two teachers in the office today since it was the weekend. "What's the matter?" a balding man asked as soon as she walked through the door.

"I'm looking for Christopher Jairo." Katherine gave him a quick glance, as she focused on his balding forehead. Then, she turned to look at the other person in the office, and her brows furrowed.

Christopher is not here?

"Mr. Jairo has an upset stomach today and he just went to the restroom. You can wait for him here. By the way, my name is Cynthia, and I am also a teacher from Northtride." She led Katherine to a seat after noticing that Katherine didn't appear to be an average student due to her powerful aura.

Katherine showed no courtesy either. After thanking Cynthia, she immediately took the seat.

Soon after, Christopher returned. His face was pale and his calves swayed slightly as he walked.

The moment he entered the door, he noticed the girl with a white T-shirt and a cap. His expression changed as he hurriedly ran over. "Miss Cornell, Mr. Muller instructed me to wait for you. I already have everything ready. Please give me a second; I'm going to– "

Just after he finished speaking, his countenance dropped. He covered his stomach and crossed his legs; it indeed looked like he really had bad diarrhea.

It was so terrible that his face turned blue. Katherine knew at a glance the reason he was suffering from diarrhea. She went silent for a moment before grabbing his wrist.

"Hey, you—"

When Christopher was about to open his mouth to speak, Katherine pressed his arm rapidly a couple of times abruptly and it caused searing pain. Then, the pain in his stomach surprisingly vanished.

In shock, he stared at her and even forgot to speak.
