A Replacement Bride

Chapter 115

"A discussion?" Katherine pointed a finger at herself and asked puzzledly.

Hearing that, Tessa had to take a few deep breaths to calm her rage before looking at Katherine irritatedly. "Yes. Previously, Miss Cornell was able to point out that I'm not well with just a look when we were at the hospital, so I thought you'll be able to treat my illness. Am I right?"

Tessa's eyes glinted with hope as she spoke. She was told by the doctor that her cancer cells had started spreading and her condition was very serious. Even if she underwent resection, there was no guarantee that she would be cured.

"Mrs. Leigh, why would you have such an assumption? I was just talking nonsense. After all, you have a bad temper and most people with anger issues will have this problem," Katherine said innocently and blinked.

Tessa was so offended by Katherine's words that she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

"Miss Cornell, you're being too humble. You were able to treat my husband's illness when none of the doctors in the country could, so I'm sure that you'll be able to treat my cancer too. Don't worry, I'll reward you handsomely if you manage to treat my illness." She swallowed the metallic taste in her mouth as she looked at Katherine.

"Your husband's illness? You have come to the wrong person as I'm not the one who cured his illness. Didn't he tell you about it?" Katherine chuckled as she looked at Tessa wryly.

"What?" Tessa's heart sank after hearing that, then it was followed by some discomfort surging in her chest.

"I didn't treat him since he woke up on his own." Katherine put her hands out with her palms up.

Tessa was lost for words and she almost blackout at the revelation. Hebert's illness wasn't cured by Katherine? So, it's just a waste of time to come over here? she thought to herself.
