A Replacement Bride

Chapter 111

"What a farce!" Theodore was exasperated by the Leigh Family's arrogance. After all, Katherine was a genius doctor who was treated with respect wherever she went, which was something that neither of the Leigh Family members showed when they met her. The more he dwelled on that, the angrier he felt, having his eyes fixed on London's haughty expression. "In that case, I guess it's better for the Leigh Family to leave. Go back to Bellerium! I'd love to see who is willing to treat Hebert! I'm so sorry about this, Kathy. If I had known this was how they would react, I wouldn't have asked for your help to look into Hebert's condition."

While Katherine appeared unconcerned in response to Theodore's apology, London was unhappy and unable to believe her eyes, seeing how the revered professor treated the lady with so much respect. This can't be! Why would Professor Muller treat a lady who is in her twenties with so much respect? Who is she? And what has she done to fool Professor Muller? "Mr. Muller, we took my father to Hovington, hoping to have his disease cured because we trusted you, but we didn't expect to be fooled like that. This is unacceptable! I don't care how good of a doctor you claimed that she is because I'm not buying any of that! If you don't think you're capable of treating my father, you shouldn't have lied to us about the existence of a genius doctor. Do you think it's fun to see us traveling for miles for nothing?" London angrily questioned Theodore, glaring at the latter.

After hearing the lady, Theodore was so mad that his anger was starting to take a toll on his body. "Get lost if you won't trust us! Leave now! You're better off elsewhere!" Theodore berated London grumpily as he began to cough violently.

"Take it easy, Mr. Muller." Katherine sighed, seeing how angry the old man was getting because of her. At the same time, she took a step forward and got a hold of Theodore, whereupon she immediately applied pressure on a few acupuncture points on his back. The next second, Theodore, who was coughing violently, was instantly relieved as he was able to catch his breath. He then gratefully gazed at Katherine while feeling sorry and embarrassed for her. "I'm sorry, Kathy. I should have seen this coming before approaching you for help. This is all my fault! The Leigh Family is… Alas!"

"You have nothing to do with this, Mr. Muller." Katherine shook her head, appearing unconcerned as she had always been.

"Quit pretending, won't you? I don't know what you've done to make Professor Muller like you so much, but I'm sure you don't have any sense of shame at all." London angrily teased Katherine.

"What a farce!" Theodore was exasperated by the Leigh Family's arrogance. After all, Katherine was a genius doctor who was treated with respect wherever she went, which was something that neither of the Leigh Family members showed when they met her. The more he dwelled on that, the angrier he felt, having his eyes fixed on London's haughty expression. "In that case, I guess it's better for the Leigh Family to leave. Go back to Bellerium! I'd love to see who is willing to treat Hebert! I'm so sorry about this, Kathy. If I had known this was how they would react, I wouldn't have asked for your help to look into Hebert's condition."

"Your mother is about to die, so what are you waiting for? Unless you're counting on her death to hold us responsible." Katherine glimpsed London, reminding her about her mother.

It was then that London thought about Tessa and turned around to check on her. She then saw her mother lying on the ground and barely breathing, with a pale face. Worried for her mother, London wasted no more time arguing with Idris and quickly ordered her men to carry Tessa away. When she walked past Katherine to make it to the entrance, she glared at the lady with hostility and left the place.

As soon as London was gone, it felt as if the entire ward was filled with cool and refreshing air. "I'm sorry for my sister's misbehavior. For that, I'd like to apologize on her behalf, Miss. Thanks for saving my father." A man stayed behind even though the others had left the ward. He was seen wearing an ordinary sports outfit that no one would bother to look at, but even so, he seemed like an educated, decent gentleman due to his good looks and polite attitude.
