A Replacement Bride

Chapter 186

"Don't worry, money is not an issue to us. I will definitely pay you." Hera noticed that Katherine disagreed with her proposal and immediately understood her concern. However, Katherine merely shook her head. "It's not about money."

"What's the problem then? Elizabeth had been ill for so many years, yet you cured her with just a few acupuncture needles. Robert has just fallen ill, so it shouldn't be a serious problem. Why…" Hera started feeling anxious about her son's current state when she saw that Katherine was a bit hesitant.

"Well, there was a cause to Mrs. Levisay's illness, so I knew how to cure it. But Young Master Levisay's symptoms are caused by anxiety, and it is not something that a mere doctor like me could treat. So perhaps you should look for someone else." Katherine shook her head again and refused to treat Robert. Are you kidding me? I maimed Robert, and now you want me to help save him? He's a scumbag and should be grateful that I did not paralyze him.

"Why? How did it turn out like this?" Hera was deeply shocked and went into a state of utter stupefaction. Although Henry did not utter a word, he looked visibly distressed. He had hoped that Katherine could treat Robert's illness. After all, Robert was more obedient and sensible than Joaquin.

"Wow, you're so lucky to have such a capable granddaughter-in-law. Her medical skills are definitely state-of-the-art. Since we're all part of the family, your granddaughter-in-law should also care for us if anyone in my family feels unwell in the future. Don't you think such a thing is only logical?" Mary, who had just mocked Elizabeth, suddenly had a change of heart and started to butter up Elizabeth.

Although Elizabeth was very contemptuous of Jennifer's actions, she felt much better when she saw her sister's humble sight. When the others realized the change in Elizabeth's expression, they all started complimenting her, and the whole living room turned lively.

Katherine smiled in disdain at the situation and glanced at Joaquin, who in turn sneered. He had long been accustomed to the shamelessness of the Levisay Family, so he pulled Katherine aside to a quiet corner while glancing at Elizabeth in the distance—Elizabeth was the moon at the center of a myriad of stars. He remained silent for a while. Only then did he ask her, "Did you really cure her?"

"Yes," answered Elizabeth while drinking a glass of juice. Hmm, not bad. It is sweet and comes with a hint of bitterness. Joaquin's expression changed at once when he saw what she was drinking. He immediately reached out and grabbed her drink, which at that point was already half-empty. "Who gave this to you?"
