A Replacement Bride

Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Theodore had just arrived at the entrance of the ward when he heard that sentence. He couldn't help but pause in his tracks as he looked at Ruby.

Katherine also had a faint impression of that mole.

"Miss Cornell, this person might be someone whom you know. She knows you're here, and she even told me that you'd definitely be alone when you come out. She said that I could just kill you there, and since there aren't any CCTVs in the area, I wouldn't be caught." Ruby was still extremely apologetic when she said that.

Katherine covered up the emotions in the depths of her eyes as she looked up at Ruby. "Just rest up and don't think too much."

Hearing that, Ruby nodded.

Katherine got up. When she turned around, she saw Theodore standing frozen at the entrance.

He must have heard what Ruby was saying.

Katherine walked toward Theodore. Without a word between them, they left one after the other in silent understanding.

The door to the ward closed shut as Katherine and Theodore walked to the side. Theodore's wizened face seemed a little panicky. "Kathy, I'm really sorry for not educating this child well enough. She lost her parents when she was young, and I've spoiled her a little too much. Also, since she had quite some talent, I had high hopes for her. I never thought that despite me teaching her so many things, I failed to teach her how to be human."

"Don't involve yourself in this." Katherine reached up and patted Theodore gently on the shoulder, not saying much more.

With that, she left the research institute right away.

It was almost time for lunch. She unlocked her phone and entered a string of code. Soon, a small red dot appeared on the screen.

Katherine looked at the location in detail, then hailed a ride and went there.

In a private room at Royal Bite Restaurant, Beatrice was having lunch with Joaquin. The private room was dimly lit, and gentle music was being played inside. It was quite romantic indeed.
