A Replacement Bride

Chapter 286

Mike wanted to sit up, so Zak quickly helped by propping a pillow behind him. Following that, he sighed audibly before scanning the room and articulating in a hoarse tone, "There's something I've kept deep within myself for many years. I think it's time this matter comes to a proper closure…"

…

After half an hour, Mike fell into a deep slumber after spending his already limited energy reiterating his stories.

Exiting from the bedroom, everyone wore an ambiguous expression. Patricia had Cyndi and Myles head back to their rooms while the others sat in the living room.

Zak sighed and stated, "I can't believe that happened."

David did not expect it either. "Seems like Katherine was right. No wonder…" Suddenly, there was a hint of impatience on his face.

With the age difference, Zak and David should not be this close under normal circumstances. However, Master Blatt was on good terms with the Frasers, and David could also be said to have grown up with Zak, hence their relationship.

That was why Zak brought him along to see Katherine, thinking that David could help persuade her. Yet, who could have expected that she would not budge no matter what?

The thought of that enraged Zak. "No matter what happened, it's all in the past now! It's not like it has much to do with her, so why does she need to be this persistent? I think she's doing this on purpose!" he complained begrudgingly, yet David looked at him in disapproval.

"Although it's in the past, it doesn't mean it didn't exist. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Putting Katherine aside, it still doesn't change the fact. She isn't obliged to heal Mr. Fraser, nor is it her fault whether she chooses to save him. Zak, I think this is inappropriate of you."

As he recalled their friendship, Zak did not utter anything else and remained quiet. Still, Mike's illness had bugged him, so he could not give up so effortlessly after giving it some thought.

Just as he wanted to say something, a shriek echoed from upstairs that was accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.
