A Replacement Bride

Chapter 51

There was a well-stocked pile of Chinese medications available in her laboratory and some of them were collections of more than twenty years. Theodore knew that she enjoyed concocting odd medications, so he had gotten everything ready for her before building this laboratory.

Katherine remained inside for two hours. When she got out of the laboratory, Theodore was not quite done yet.

Coincidentally, it was Beatrice's turn to step forward. As she glanced at the patient on the hospital bed who was intubated all over his body, her face turned slightly pale.

There was a crowd gathered around watching her and they could not bear to see Beatrice in such a troubled state.

One of them decided to speak up and comfort Beatrice, "Beatrice, you shouldn't force yourself to go through this if you can't do it. You achieved great results in the two rounds earlier, so I'm sure you would be able to pass the test even if you gave up this round."

"Yeah. This patient has been here for years and there hasn't been a proper treatment plan developed for him, so it's normal for you to not know what to do."

Katherine listened in as she stood by the side and she could not help frowning.

She shot a look at the people who had voiced out before going over to Theodore and asking in a lowered voice, "Are these people here for the interview?"

"The only one here for the interview is the girl in the middle. The others are staff who work here." Theodore lifted his head and scanned the room. He noticed his granddaughter being surrounded by several male researchers and each of them was busy giving their suggestions. It was hard to not frown at that sight.

"Excuse me while I handle the situation." Theodore wore an upset look on his face.

He was the one who had voiced out personally to hire Beatrice at the laboratory and he originally thought that her professional knowledge from university was sound. Besides, she could always answer the questions he directed at her with ease. However, he did not expect her to have such a reaction during the actual clinical trial.

Truth be told, he was very disappointed by that.

After all, Katherine was two years younger than Beatrice and yet the former was good enough to operate her own laboratory. Not only was she great at treating patients, but she was also very gifted in the research field, far surpassing people of her same age.

"All of you right there, go down right now. There is a test going on and we're not in a supermarket. This isn't the place to joke around. You, leave the room right now."
