A Replacement Bride

Chapter 224

As Katherine gaped at Marcus, she pressed her lips together and fell silent. Unable to figure out what had happened to the other party's offspring, she said, "Tell me what his offspring are going through, but first things first—I might not be able to help them."

Seeing that Katherine was interested to find out more, Marcus breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly told her everything he knew. "I don't know the details, though. About three years ago, all the Frasers were struck by a strange illness. They went to the hospital for examinations, but none of the doctors could ascertain what the problem was. There are faces on their bodies. They even said that they would hear some laughter at night. It's very strange."

Marcus had only met the eldest young master of the Fraser Family, Zak Fraser. He had never come into contact with the others.

Also, he had seen the face on Zak's body before. It looked like a baby's face the size of a palm, and it was located on his abdomen. It was an eerie sight to behold. He wasn't sure if it was a hallucination, but he felt that the face had been smiling at him back then. He was troubled by nightmares for days after seeing it.

Since Katherine had saved him previously, he felt that she might be able to lend the Frasers a hand; that was why he came to seek her help.

"Faces on their bodies?" Katherine fell into her thoughts briefly. "Bring one of them to my place. I'll have a look."

She was unable to determine the illness with such limited information. Since her interest had been piqued, she decided to make one of the Frasers come over.

An agitated Marcus nodded. Since his mission had been completed, he decided to leave the house and arrange a meet-up between Zak and Katherine in a hurry.

Three days later, Katherine finally met one of the Frasers.

Zak was a man in his early forties. As he had always been in an authoritative position, he was noble and slightly dispassionate. He seemed to dismiss Katherine as another conperson, so he wasn't that keen to visit her.

If not for the fact that all the Frasers were down with this illness, and several people had already passed away in the last two years, he wouldn't have come to Katherine's place.
