"What? He is dead, and it's going to stay that way, no matter what you do, so what are you insinuating? Are you questioning my judgment?" The doctor's face changed when he heard Katherine's words because it seemed to him that the lady doubted his professionalism.

However, Katherine ignored the doctor and reached for the needles in her pocket. She then undressed the patient and took three needles, pricking all of them on his chest somewhere around the heart.

Jeremy was unhappy when he heard that, standing there in a sulk without interfering with Katherine. He then gazed at Joaquin and asked, "Mr. Levisay, she may be an impressive doctor, but now that the patient is dead, why can't she just let the deceased rest in peace?"

It wasn't until a few moments later that the burning sensation within her body finally subsided. At the same time, she was covered in sweat all over her body as if she was just rescued out of the water from drowning. Suddenly, she heard knocking on the door, followed by Joaquin's voice.
