A Replacement Bride

Chapter 177

Anger rushed through Sally's veins after she heard Adam's criticism. "What's the use of shouting at me?! Is it my wish that Ryder is in this state now? The doctor already said that it's an injury to the nerves. What can be done about that? My poor child, why does he have such a tough life?"

"Enough!" Charles interjected in annoyance and looked at Ryder with a sullen face.

He had used a measured force earlier, and even though Ryder would be hurt, he wouldn't have sustained injuries on his spinal nerves, much more an injury as serious as being impotent. Recalling that Ryder was already on the floor and crying in pain when he entered the private room, he reckoned that Ryder was already hurt at that time.

"Joaquin's wife probably causes Ryder's injury," he said coldly.

"What?" Stunned, Sally and Adam turned to him with shocked faces.

"Stay here and take care of Ryder. I'm going out for a while," he said without telling them the details.

There was nothing Charles could do because of Joaquin's background. Not even if both the Flynn and Fanning families worked together could they touch a hair on Joaquin. Regardless, for a woman like Katherine, who didn't have any strong background, he could easily kill her thousands of times.

After leaving the ward, he paced to the side and finished a cigarette. Then, he took out his phone, found a number, and called. "Hi, Mr. Muller."

"Fanning? Why are you calling me out of the blue? Did something happen?" Charles' sudden call got him a little confused. Although they were old acquaintances, they went into different professions afterward. Furthermore, Charles was in a different department, so they hadn't contacted each other for a very long time.

Charles pursed his lips with an austere look on his face. "I remember you know a miracle doctor with superior medical skills, and I heard she could even save a person with dead brain cells. Will you please ask her if she has any idea about spinal nerve injury?"

"Injury at the spinal nerve? Did someone in your family hurt their spinal nerve?" Theodore asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's my grandson, and it's quite serious. The doctor said that he may become impotent." At this point, there was nothing to hide anymore.

"I'll ask on your behalf, then, but she may not have a remedy. It's better if you're mentally
