A Replacement Bride

Chapter 414 Your Daughter

After a few days of rest, Corey had almost recovered, and his complexion improved.

After seeing his son, Emmanuel maintained his outward composure, but on the inside, he was shaking with shock. He knew Katherine was a doctor, and everyone said she was a genius, but he never thought much of it. To him, those were merely rumors, but after he saw his son, he realized they weren't. It pained him to admit it, but she was a true genius. Even more surprisingly, she was able to counteract that particular poison. Before he came, he thought Corey would at least be crippled, but instead, he looked healthy. I see I've underestimated her. That's why I fell for her tricks. Soon, he composed himself and put on a smile. "It's good to see you in one piece, Corey. Come with me. Let's go home."

However, Katherine thought that was a laughable greeting, and so did Corey. He looked at his father like he was a stranger to him.

Something flickered in Emmanuel's eyes, and he sighed. "I know you're angry at me, but this is all a misunderstanding. Let's clear things up when we get home, alright?"

"Misunderstanding?" She finally lost her composure and sneered, "You poisoned your son and called that a misunderstanding?"

Emmanuel was slightly annoyed about the interruption, but he composed himself and ignored Katherine. Still, he tried to convince Corey to go home with him. "This is all a family feud, that's all. You're my son. I wouldn't hurt you. You shouldn't trust anyone but your family. They're only trying to pit us against each other. Blood is thicker than water, you know."

Corey listened silently, but he thought his father was grating. There was only indifference in his eyes. He no longer hoped his father would show him affection but eventually decided to go with him. "I'm almost healed now. There's no need to stay here, Kathy."

No matter how much he tried, there was no way he could cut all ties with them. If he didn't leave, Emmanuel would
