A Replacement Bride

Chapter 18

When Theodore heard those words, he was stunned for a moment, and then anger painted across his face. "Who? Who did that? Admit it!"

Soon, the man with glasses stood up silently, answering, "It's me."

"Why did you decide on your own to inject this into the patient?" Theodore almost slapped him in the face.

The man calmly pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained, "This patient had severe inflammation before he was sent here and the inflammation persisted. The injection of cephalosporins can't be stopped. The doctors in the hospital had already informed us about it, so I don't think there is any problem. Theodore, you can't blame me because there is a problem with the experimental drug. I think we shouldn't produce this drug anymore. We should be careful."

Theodore was almost angered to death by his arrogance. His entire body trembled violently.

Katherine looked at him for a long time before nodding. "You're not suitable for this experiment."

The man's expression changed when he heard those words. Katherine was a young girl who looked no more than twenty-five years old. What right did she have to judge him as unsuitable?

"Who are you to criticize me? I am just being responsible for the life of the patient."

He was fearless as he looked at Katherine with disdain.

Theodore finally could not hold back and kicked him in the shin. "Get out of the lab! Can't you handle some criticism for what you've done wrong? You've always been involved with this project, and you should know best that you shouldn't inject any antibiotics when injecting experimental drugs. Not only

did you not comply, but you even secretly injected cephalosporin without telling me! I'm being generous for not holding you accountable. How dare you fight back?”

The man's expression finally changed, but he still argued stubbornly, "But medical students know that in this case, the patient must be injected with antibiotics every day. That can't be stopped. I…"

"Send him out." Katherine was focused on reading the patient's data and found the man to be quite noisy and distracting her.

Theodore knew from her expression that she was thinking about countermeasures. For fear of disturbing her thoughts, he called the security guard of the institute and dragged the man out.

The man shook off the security guard's hand and pointed at Katherine, scolding "What do you even know as a woman?! How could you participate in an experiment? Have you given birth before? Have you been ligated? Can you guarantee to stay on duty for 24 hours?"

"I've met many people like you who came in through connections!"

"My thesis has won an award, I'm telling you. Without my theoretical support, your experiment will not be able to progress!"

While burying her head in the sea of data, Katherine suddenly looked up at him. Her gaze was cold and rigid…

"Unable to progress?" Katherine looked at the man in front of him who thought he was invincible. She then smirked.

"It doesn't matter if you are dumb, but you must have self-awareness. I didn't bother to argue with you before, but you just had to fight with me."

"Theodore, call the police and ask the lawyers of the research institute to send this invincible man to prison for further study." Katherine originally had a beautiful face, and when she smiled, she was so beautiful that Theodore could feel his eyes stinging.

However, the words that came out of her mouth showed no mercy.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and complied, "No problem. I will get the lawyer to be prepared. How's the patient now?"

"His condition is stable for now," Katherine replied nonchalantly.

"Haha. Women are all just all looks without knowledge. Wanna sue me? For what? I did nothing wrong. It was your own experimental medicine that went wrong. Let me tell you, I won't compromise with evil forces. I will expose you and your despicable acts! You are experimenting with live humans, which is simply insane and inhumane. This patient will surely die. Just wait till his family sues you!"

Initially, the man was a little worried when he heard Theodore say that he had arranged for a lawyer to sue him, but as soon as he heard Katherine's words, he immediately stopped worrying.

Sure enough, she was just a foolish woman with no skills. How dare she say that this patient's condition was now stable?

He had been taking care of the patient for so long, so he knew the patient's condition best. His internal organs were already failing.

Even if she was an expert doctor, she would never be able to save the patient!

Moreover, this patient was not an ordinary person. He came from the Rosenburg family. If something happened to him in the research institute, the Rosenburgs would definitely not let them go.

The man's originally elegant face was now twisted with pleasure. Looking at Katherine, he continued to exclaim wildly, "B*tch! I'm waiting for the day you regret your actions! I'll be waiting for the day you beg me for mercy!"

"Sorry. You might be disappointed because you won't see that happening."

Katherine walked to the bedside of the patient, grabbed his hand, and felt his pulse before taking out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, pouring out a small red pill, and stuffing it into the patient's mouth. She then took three silver needles from her needle bag and pierced them on the top of his head.

Joseph Clinton looked at Katherine and sneered, "Do you think you can revive him with…"

Halfway through his words, as if someone had strangled his throat, he stared at the patient who suddenly coughed and opened his eyes with a shocking expression.

"H-How is this possible…"

Theodore glanced at him coldly. He no longer wanted to see that eyesore anymore, so he ordered, "Take him out and call the police."

"No! You can't treat me like this! I should be the one taking credit for reviving this patient's consciousness. It's all because I've been injecting him with cephalosporins so that he can survive and wake up. You have to thank me. Yes, and…"

He was so noisy that Katherine decided to poke him with a needle to shut him up.

The whole world seemed to drown in silence. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The security guard looked at Katherine in awe before taking Joseph down in a hurry.

"Is he alright now?" Theodore was amazed.

He had known Katherine for a long time and knew what she was capable of. The fact that their experimental medicine this time was a success was all thanks to Katherine.

It was just that she preferred to keep it low-profile and did not like to take the credit, or she would have been a huge contributor to the medical field as the youngest academician in Cechirus.

She would break the world record as a 20-year-old academician.

"It's not that simple. He's been in a coma for too long. His bodily functions have begun to degenerate, and his internal organs have been seriously damaged. Even if he has been depending on medication to prolong his life, it seems like he's almost at the end now." Katherine shook her head and looked at the patient who opened his eyes while staring at the ceiling dully.

"Can't you think of a way?" Theodore hesitated for a while but spoke cautiously.

Katherine glanced at him in surprise. "Why? Is he your relative?"

"No, he's from the Rosenburgs. His name is Alex Rosenburg. He's lying here now because he saved a big shot. We've been trying to prolong his life over the past few years, and the victim is also very concerned about his situation. If there is a way, we will do our best to save him, and it will also be of great help to you and your affairs in Cechirus." Theodore shook his head gently and introduced the patient to Katherine.

Katherine pondered about it. If even Theodore regarded him as a big shot, he must carry an extraordinary identity.

"His physical condition is so bad now that I can't do anything. Let's inject him with the medicine for a while, and get someone reliable to keep watch. There can't be any more accidents. If it happens again,

I can't guarantee I can do anything about it." Katherine pondered for a long time before speaking.

Without a choice, Theodore nodded.
