Chapter 271

After that, she paused for a moment and asked, "Marcus has been run off his feet for your family's sake these days. Why do you doubt him so much?" Even though Patricia hadn't said anything just now, she could tell at a glance that this woman didn't trust her at all.

Seeing that she'd asked the question, Patricia finally stopped hiding it. Pulling a long face at once, she first gave Marcus an apologetic nod. "Sorry, Mr. Town, it's not that I don't believe you, but I don't trust her," she said before turning to look at Katherine with a weak sneer. "You look very young to me, and it doesn't seem like you're capable of anything. Who knows if you're just a pretty face? How can I trust you to save my life?"

A cold smirk played across Katherine's lips when she heard Patricia say so. "Oh, really? Well, then, I wonder who you think can save your life. Does it have to be some gray-haired man or woman who's advanced in years? It's not good to believe in stereotypes, Mrs. Fraser."

"Humph!" Patricia let out a soft, disdainful snort through her nose. "Even if I don't believe in stereotypes, there's no way you can be a doctor with how you look! How can I possibly put my life in your hands? Wouldn't that be suicide?"

At this moment, Lexie chimed in next to her, "That's right, madam! I thought she was suspicious, which was why I did my best to stop her. Even Mr. Town is deceived by this woman, which proves she's not easy to deal with!"

Marcus frowned. Finding it impossible to talk sense into these two women, he couldn't help feeling an ache creeping up his head. "Mrs. Fraser, Miss Cornell really can save your life. It was she who saved Mr. Fraser's life!"

Patricia still looked doubtful when she heard this. "Really? Where is my husband now?"

Marcus immediately answered, "Mr. Fraser is already out of danger now, but he has to rest for several days before coming back. He's still in Hovington at the moment. When he's fully recovered, he'll be able to come back and reunite with you."

Town, that means my husband hasn't really turned the corner yet, no? What if this woman is just stalling you guys? What if she only
