A Replacement Bride

Chapter 267

Jeremy got the message and was about to send Marcus away.

However, Marcus refused to leave. The Frasers were in such a bad state that if he couldn't bring Katherine back, none of them would survive!

Hence, he gritted his teeth and stood there firmly. "I'm sorry," he muttered to Joaquin before blocking the door and pleading loudly to whoever was in the room, "Please, Miss Cornell! Consider it as doing a good deed! If you refuse to help them, the Frasers will perish! You are the only one who can save them right now…"

On the other hand, Joaquin had a solemn and dissatisfied expression when he saw Marcus pull such a trick.

"Are you still not leaving? Jeremy, get someone to drag him away!"

At this moment, Jennifer, who was fast asleep the entire time, suddenly moved her eyelids. The next second, her eyes opened and she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Katherine, who had been staring at Jennifer all this while, dashed over to her. "You're awake, Grandma. How do you feel right now? Do you feel sick?"

Joaquin, too, ignored everything else and dashed to the other side of the bed. "Grandma, you're finally awake! You almost scared Kathy and me to death," he said as he looked at Jennifer with a serious gaze.

Meanwhile, Jennifer took some time to fully regain her consciousness. Her blurry eyes became more focused as she stared at Joaquin, then Katherine, before she cracked a weak smile.

"Kathy, don't be afraid. I'm all right. I merely slept more as I was tired."

The older woman could maintain her cool and comfort Katherine even when she had just fainted. Katherine felt her heart ache as she heard Jennifer's words and tears welled up in her eyes.

Fortunately, she kept her rationality and managed to keep her emotions hidden.
