A Replacement Bride

Chapter 121

Ben's heart skipped a beat when he saw Katherine's increasingly grave expression. Subconsciously, he asked, "How is he?"

Instead of answering him, Katherine merely took the scissors and cut open Joaquin's shirt to examine his injuries. The man had one wound in his chest and one in his leg, both of which ruptured his main artery, so it was normal for him to lose a lot of blood.

After examining the man's injuries, Katherine finally heaved a sigh of relief. "He can be saved. Any later and he'd have to spend the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair." Such a situation was really a silver lining. Joaquin had no nociceptive nerves, so he didn't notice immediately that he was injured. Because of that, it was almost too late when his injuries were discovered.

Ben almost jumped on the spot while bursting into tears of joy. "You really are our savior, Miss Cornell! Please be sure to save Mr. Levisay's life!"

"Leave us, and go get these things ready." Katherine frowned while dismissing him with a wave of her hand.

After writing a list and handing it to Ben, she returned to the ward. Taking out her silver needle, she first did acupuncture on Joaquin to stop his bleeding and keep him alive.

On the other hand, Ben went out soon afterward with the list in his hand. Area Seven had a powerful intelligence network and many connections, so it was easy to obtain what Katherine asked for. Moreover, the high-ups in the government had learned the news of what had happened to the supreme commander of Area Seven this time. They gave direct orders to do everything for Ben's convenience, allowing him to obtain all the items in less than half an hour.

He came in while wiping the sweat off his forehead. After putting the items one by one on the cabinet beside him, he looked up at Katherine, asking, "Miss Cornell, how can I help you?"

"Hand the scalpels to me, then." Katherine was sterilizing her surgical tools at this moment.
