A Replacement Bride

Chapter 268

"Grandma, this is…"

Katherine looked slightly shocked and her eyes were filled with doubt as she stared at the parchment scroll.

Jennifer, on the other hand, remained silent. She lowered her head and gazed at the parchment scroll, feeling nostalgic. Her wrinkled hands rubbed the scroll gently for a few moments before she let out a faint sigh.

"This was passed down to me by my mother, your great-grandmother. It contains information on how to stop and curb the man-faced curse, as well as prevent it from spreading. I am passing this on to you because the situation is critical. This is the only thing your great-grandmother left behind when she died, so please treat it with care."

While Jennifer spoke, she took Katherine's hand in hers and handed her the parchment scroll, finishing with a gentle pat.

Katherine's gaze froze as she stared at the parchment scroll. Instead of being comforted, her doubts increased.

"How did great-grandmother get this, Grandma?"

Jennifer coughed several times and heaved a long breath, looking sentimental as she reflected on the past.

"Your great-grandmother was also a genius doctor in the past. Her abilities were exceptional and she could even save those on the verge of death. She became intrigued after hearing rumors about the man-faced curse. Later, she learned that the Scott-Tutton Family had some unclear ties to such a curse, and that was why she married your great-grandfather. Using her extraordinary medical abilities running in her genes, she conducted an in-depth study on the man-faced curse and eventually understood it thoroughly. Because of the serious nature and the dire consequences it would bring, your great-grandmother was afraid that something would happen in the future that no one would know how to deal with, and she was also afraid that the information and the methods for dealing with such a curse would be lost with time, so she drew up such a scroll herself."

Katherine had never imagined her ancestor would have such a history. Her brows were raised slightly and her face was filled with admiration for this great-grandmother she had never met.

Despite this, she was still hesitant to leave Jennifer.

"Grandma, I need to see you recover with my own eyes. Since we now have this scroll containing the methods to save the Frasers, we can give it to Marcus so that he can try to buy more time for the Frasers' lives, and I can go there a few days later..."

When Jennifer heard that, she immediately put on an angry act and reprimanded, "How could you say such a thing? This is our ancestors' scroll, which is only known to our family. How could you possibly let someone else have it?"
