A Replacement Bride

Beatrice only felt immense grief and indignation. Her eyes were red, and tears were

pooling in her eyes.

Just then, Katherine emerged from the ward, taking off the disposable gloves she was

wearing and tossing them into a garbage can at the side.

When Beatrice saw her, she somehow summoned enough strength to break away from the

two security staff as she rushed toward Katherine.

"It's you, isn't it? What did you say to my grandpa? Katherine! How can you be so

shameless and disgusting? You even make a move on an old man in his seventies! Are you

happy now that my grandpa treats me like this? Are you satisfied?"

Katherine narrowed her eyes at Beatrice. She didn't want to bother with Beatrice at first,

but the latter's words grew increasingly rude, even insulting Theodore at the end.

As soon as Beatrice finished speaking, Katherine reached out and slapped her on the face.

The slap was fierce and landed cruelly on the woman's face. In an instant, the entire half

of Beatrice's face swelled and reddened.

Beatrice was dumbfounded.

Is she crazy?

This is the Third Research Institute, my grandpa's territory…

After the slap, Katherine said calmly, "Beatrice, you can ask me those questions when you

rise to my level. For now, you don't have the right to ask them. Throw her out, and don't

let this sort of person in the research institute in the future."

Beatrice's face went pale, and the slap mark on her face couldn't even hide her

expression. The two security staff went forward and gave Beatrice a look of pity before

dragging her out.

When Beatrice was left at the entrance of the research institute, she finally came to her

senses when the burning sunlight shone on her body.

She had really been chased out of the research institute. With her capabilities, it would be

easy enough for her to enter other local research institutes.

However, if word went out that she was delisted from Third Research Institute, there

wouldn't be a single research institute in Cechirus that would be willing to enlist her!

Theodore was actually so cruel that he wanted to destroy her future for good.

Why didn't the car malfunction today so that that old thing was run over to death?

Beatrice's glare was filled with hatred as she turned around and looked viciously at the

entrance of the research institute. Then, she briskly walked away.

"Miss Cornell, Mr. Muller isn't feeling too well, so he asked me to follow you later. If you

have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

Katherine went to wash her hands, and when she returned to the ward, there was a new

youngster in the ward. He looked to be about twenty-three years old, and he even blushed

while he spoke.

Seeing his anxious behavior, Katherine couldn't help but find it funny. "Why are you so

nervous? I don't eat people."

"I-I'm just a little nervous." The man scratched his head, thinking for a bit before hastily

saying, "My name is Dina, and I've been in this research institute for eight months."

"Hm. Katherine." Katherine announced her name indifferently, then went over and

checked on Morgan.

There wasn't much difference compared to before, but after taking medication, his brain

cells decreased in activity by 0.5 percent.

There really was something wrong with this situation.

"Have the Morans sent the information?" Kathrine looked at the time. It had been more

than an hour since Theodore contacted the Morans for information.

"No, when the information arrives, someone will send it over." Dina shook his head and

answered a little carefully.

Katherine went silent for a bit, and just as she was about to say something, someone

carried a cardboard box in, panting heavily.

"Miss Cornell, the information you asked for is here."

Morgan's condition was extremely unique. Dina and Katherine looked through the files for

a long time as they read through the treatment processes Morgan had undergone for the

past twenty years in detail, but they couldn't figure out anything wrong.

Katherine wanted to keep reading, but her phone rang.

She took out her phone and looked at it. Following that, her finger pressed on the

incoming call as she pursed her lips in silence.

"Miss Cornell, if there's something you have to attend to, please go ahead. I'll organize the

data and pass them to you when I'm done," Dina said quietly when he saw Katherine

staring at the phone without any intention of answering the call.

Katherine nodded and Dina left with the files.

She stared at the incoming call for some time before finally letting out a sigh and

answered the call.

"Kathy?" A hoarse old voice sounded from the other end of the line. There was even slight

uncertainty in the voice.

"Grandma, why are you calling me at this hour? It should be early morning in Fontan. Are

you unable to sleep because of insomnia again?" The expression on Katherine's face

softened considerably as she sat down on the floor, relaxing her body.

"It's been some time since you went back, but you didn't contact me. I was afraid that you

were being bullied there. I hope the Cornells haven't been bullying you, have they?"

Jennifer Moran's voice sounded, and it was accompanied by the sound of her coughing.

Katherine frowned. It was clear from Jennifer's voice that she was getting weaker.

If they still couldn't find a suitable marrow for the operation, Jennifer might really die.
