A Replacement Bride

Chapter 291

When Katherine rushed to Keith's ward, he was still unconscious. His eyes were sunken, and his cheeks were hollowed; he looked badly out of shape.

"He was just fine yesterday. Who knew he would turn out like this after a night had passed?" Tyler sighed, looking worried.

Listening to his words, Katherine bit her lips and immediately pressed the bell. When the nurses came into the room, she ordered them, "Push him into the examination room. I'm going to give him a checkup."

Since the nurses had just received an order to cooperate with Katherine no matter what she did, they didn't hesitate and quickly obliged.

The nurses ushered Keith into the examination room, and Joaquin stood outside of the room since he knew he couldn't be of any help. As for Tyler, he was bewildered by the outcome. While they waited outside the room, he couldn't help but ask Joaquin, "Who exactly is Miss Cornell? Is she an expert in the medical field too?"

Hearing his words, Joaquin only hummed in response, seemingly uninterested in answering the man's question. Noticing his reaction, Tyler understood and stopped asking.

After all, there were many hidden talented people in the world. As someone who held a high position, he had met some of those people, so he was not surprised at all.

Half an hour later, Katherine walked out of the examination room with the nurses pushing Keith back to the ward. When both men saw her, they trailed behind her and asked, "How's Keith?"

At this moment, Katherine's face looked paler than before and she was perspiring profusely, seemingly as if she had used up all her strength. "It's bad. He is being infected by the man-faced curse. It wasn't that of a big deal at first, but Keith has a special physique. Thus, not only will the antidote be ineffective, but it will also shorten the curse's incubation period in his body, which is why he had an outbreak after a night. To Keith, the antidote is useless now," she replied.

When Joaquin heard her words, he was stunned. "Does that mean there is no way of saving Keith from the man-faced curse?" he asked.
