A Replacement Bride

Chapter 227

Everyone outside heard the eerie cries too, and it made the hair on the back of their necks stand even when it was in the middle of the day.

Meanwhile, Corey stared gravely at the ICU, not daring to miss even a single second.

It had been 30 minutes since Katherine went in, and as every minute passed, Corey's heart grew heavier. At this point, he was like a ticking time bomb. Anyone who dared pull the trigger on him would face colossal wrath.

Another 20 minutes passed, and Katherine finally came out.

The young woman looked somewhat exhausted like she had fought a great battle. "I need 30 minutes to myself," she said after taking a plain glance at Corey.

"Certainly. I'll get it arranged." He gazed amiably at her and ordered the security officer, who arranged a room for her immediately, without ever asking Katherine about the patient's condition.

Katherine nodded with gratitude and went in the security officer's direction.

Meanwhile, Corey let out a sigh of relief and brought his men into the ICU at once. He had noticed her countenance didn't look awry when she came out.

The doctors, on the other hand, were bewildered as they wondered where in the world those agonizing cries came from. However, they didn't dwell on it but followed Corey and his men into the ward instead, wanting to see the patient's condition to give Katherine and Corey a slap in the face.

Inside, the elder lay peacefully in bed with various medical instruments attached to them, and the P waves and figures displayed on the heart rate monitor were clear to everyone—the patient was no different from an ordinary man.

Malcolm's countenance turned awful in response, and he hurriedly gave the elder a checkup. Initially, he thought the device was broken, but the results of the checkup left him dumbfounded.
