A Replacement Bride

Chapter 159

Several people had gathered at the entrance of the ICU with sad faces. One of them was a grey-haired old lady sitting in a wheelchair. Her eyes were red, and her mood was unstable.

When Katherine and Theodore came over, there was little reaction from them.

Matthew then introduced both parties.

When Emma Bennett heard that, she raised her head and glanced at Katherine and Theodore. However, when she saw Katherine, she froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Was it you who came up with the experimental drug? Do you know you almost killed my brother with your stupid drug?!" A woman whose features resembled Emma gave Katherine a mean glance before scolding her in a shrill voice.

However, Katherine did not look at her and said to Matthew, "Prepare an operating room. I will perform an operation on him."

Matthew did not answer right away but subconsciously glanced at Theodore.

"Go." Theodore was unhappy and impatiently waved his hand.

It was only then Matthew hurriedly turned around and prepared an operating room for Katherine.

Jessica Rosenburg—the woman who was yelling at Katherine just now—immediately became angry as Katherine was ignoring her. She then stepped forward to yank Katherine's hand and cursed in a sinister tone, "What's wrong with you? Don't you hear me talking to you? What's the matter? My brother is now in the ICU because of your drug. Are you not going to take responsibility?"

"Are you talking to me?" Katherine calmly looked at Jessica and inquired.

At that moment, Katherine's gaze made Jessica flustered. Jessica wondered if it was just her imagination because that gaze somehow felt the same as how her father would look at her while he was still alive.
