A Replacement Bride

Chapter 82

"Is there any problem?" When Kian realized that Katherine was still not doing anything after some time, he opened his closed eyes and looked at her in confusion.

Hearing that, Katherine snapped out of her daze and suppressed her thoughts. With the silver needle in hand, she found the point to land her needle and jabbed it swiftly.

The whole process took two hours. After she finished the acupuncture treatment, she was covered in sweat as well.

On the other hand, Kian was already asleep halfway through the treatment. She looked at the rose birthmark for quite some time before pulling a blanket to cover him up. Then, she took her phone and went outside to make a call.

"Hello, Kathy? Why are you suddenly calling me?" Jennifer's hoary voice came from the other side of the phone, and there was obvious happiness in her tone.

"Grandma, about my rose birthmark…" As Katherine was about to ask about the birthmark, Jennifer cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

"Oh, that rose birthmark? It's an Olsen Family's heritage. As long as there is Olsen Family's blood in your body, you will have the birthmark on your body. You have it on you, as well as your mother. What about it?" Jennifer was very energetic in talking about the past. After pausing for a moment, she added, "In this generation of the Olsen Family, your grandfather was the only one left, and he and I only have your mother. So, we'll need to wait until you have your kid; only then will the next person with a rose birthmark appear."

"Is it? Is there anything special about the rose birthmark? Only the Olsen Family's bloodline will have it?" She had never heard Jennifer talking about these things before.

Since Elsie and Darren passed away, Jennifer rarely talked about these things.

"That is the symbol of the Olsen Family's bloodline. Only close members will have the rose birthmark. You still haven't told me why you are suddenly asking about this. Is there anything wrong with your rose birthmark?" After explaining a little, Jennifer started to worry again.

"Nothing, Grandma. I'm just asking. I think I saw someone else with the rose birthmark." Katherine brushed her off.

"That's impossible. Totally impossible. No other people will have this birthmark." Jennifer disapproved of what she said with certainty.

However, Katherine didn't explain further. She hung up the phone after asking a little about her health. When she entered the room again, Kian was already awake, and his face looked a lot better than before.

As soon as he saw her coming in, he smiled at her and sat up from the bed. "I feel much more energetic than before. Thank you."

"It's just a fair trade. You gave me what I needed, so I'll treat your illness," she kept her phone and replied to him. In fact, she wanted to ask him about the birthmark, but felt that it was quite inappropriate, so she didn't mention it.

"When is the next treatment?" He didn't say anything much after hearing what Katherine said.

"Come here again after one week. I'll give you a prescription. You'll need to take medicine three times a day as per the prescription. After a week, I'll adjust it based on your condition. Remember what I

reminded you of just now? Be mindful of your diet," Katherine replied to him as she walked over to take a pen and paper to write down the prescription and give it to him.

Kian took the prescription from her and saw that her writings were powerful and messy. It was nothing like her obedient look.

After he kept the prescription, he nodded. "Okay. I'll go to the Country House Restaurant in West City. I got it."

Katherine sent him out after telling him everything she should.

…

On the other hand, in Area Seven, Joaquin's face was darkened, and Jeremy was lowering his head with his face full of guilt. "I'm sorry, Mr. Levisay. It's my fault for not protecting the brothers. They…"

The injuries of these people were very serious, as their vital organs were damaged. Despite having a complete medical system in Area Seven, they still couldn't save them.

"Go and receive your respective punishments." After saying that coldly, Joaquin went to look at the condition of the few comrades who were injured the worst.

"Mr. Levisay, their vital organs are damaged. There's really nothing I can do, but if Miss Cornell is here, she might be able to save them." Ben's eyes were reddened. He had always kept himself tidy, but he was disheveled right now with an unshaven beard. It was obvious that he hadn't slept for the whole night.

"What?" Joaquin looked at him with narrowed eyes.

After putting the things in his hand down, Ben stood up and stumbled a little before standing firmly. "That time when her brother was so severely injured, she healed him with just a few moves. Mr.

Levisay, I want to take back what I said earlier. This fiancée of yours is really extraordinary. I guess only the ancient doctors of the few old families in Cechirus have her level of medical skill."

"The patients won't be able to last a few hours, Mr. Levisay." The other doctors had already stopped what they were doing and looked extremely exhausted.

Seeing that, Joaquin felt his heart sink since every one of the members in Area Seven had been trained by him personally. His relationship with them was extraordinary.

He thought that looking into an underground black market was an easy job. It was out of his expectation that so many people would be injured.

There were seven people lying here, and they might die at any time.

"I know." He closed his eyes and suppressed all his emotions. Then, he took out his phone and turned around, going outside to call Katherine. When Katherine received Joaquin's call, she was just looking into Kian's background.

After glancing at the caller ID, she answered it on speaker right away and put it on the table. "Yes, my dear fiancé. Why are you looking for me?"

"I need your help. I have a few people here who are severely injured. They might not make it." Joaquin's voice was deep.

"I…" With a frown, she sat up straight and held the phone in her hand.

"Don't rush into rejecting me. If you agree to save them, you can tell me any of your conditions." He cut her off.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In fact, she didn't plan to reject him, but when she heard what he said, an idea came to her mind, and she agreed right away. After asking for the address, she left home immediately.

Area Seven was a military area, so no outside cars would be allowed to enter. Katherine took a cab to the nearby area and saw Jeremy, who was waiting there.

"Miss Cornell." When Jeremy saw Katherine, his expression turned complicated since the last time she was here, he looked down on her and even tattled on her to Beatrice. Thinking of it now made him feel embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Katherine nodded to him, indicating him to lead the way. She followed behind him into the mountain.

"Hurry, Miss Cornell. One of them won't make it. He's dying soon." As Katherine and Jeremy were still walking halfway, they met Ben, who ran out anxiously to find them.

When both of them sprinted into the infirmary, they heard a grieving voice. "He's gone, Mr. Levisay."

When Ben heard that, he was stunned, breaking down after being on edge for an entire day. He collapsed immediately after a stumble.

Seeing that, Katherine reached out her hand to hold him. After Jeremy, who was on the side, took over the job, only then did Katherine walk over and look at that person who had stopped breathing. After a moment of silence, she announced calmly, "He can still be saved."
