A Replacement Bride

Chapter 83

"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.

"What are you doing? Why won't you let the deceased rest in peace?" When the doctor saw what Katherine was going to do, he extended his arm to get a hold of her, his face turning sour.

"That's enough! Jeremy! Let her try!" Joaquin shouted with a darkened look on his face.

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?"

"I believe in her." Joaquin looked at Katherine, who was concentrating on her treatment, after replying to Jeremy. Upon hearing that, Jeremy looked away bitterly, thinking he was better off not watching the process.

In the meantime, Katherine's forehead appeared to be covered in cold sweats as she placed her needles on different spots of the patient's body, one by one, her face slowly turning pale. After using up all the 108 needles she had, she heaved a sigh of relief and put them away a few moments later. Although the entire treatment was rather impressive to watch, Katherine was surprisingly covered in so much sweat that her clothes were all drenched. When the treatment was over, she went weak in her knees and nearly collapsed onto the ground. At the same time, she felt a burning sensation that was accompanied by a tingling pain in her chest, frowning while feeling intense discomfort.

In response to the lady's unexpected reaction, Joaquin was left standing outside the lounge while smiling in embarrassment. At the same time, Katherine collapsed onto the ground after closing the door and sat down there weakly. She then took off her clothes, fixing her gaze upon the rose birthmark on her chest. Due to its bright red appearance, it seemed even more glaring than anything else in sight, like it was burning.

"Are you alright, Katherine?" In response to the call, Katherine decided to close her eyes and take some rest until she felt better. Then,

to knock again, the door was open, much to his surprise. At the same time, he caught the fragrant scent of a rose, which reminded him of something he had left forgotten many years ago. As soon as Katherine's silhouette came into view, he was left with a stunned look on his face. Am I seeing things? Or does Katherine's
