Chapter 29
"Get ready for surgery."
Katherine completed the operation on Hawk after six hours.
More than 80 percent of Hawk's body was burned. Not only were the wounds unable to
heal, but they were also worsening.
In addition, his ribs, arms and legs had comminuted fractures. As there had been no
medical treatment provided, the broken bones had begun to fuse together. They needed
to be broken again before fixing them back. The operation was difficult.
After the operation, Katherine felt as if she was on the verge of collapsing.
"I'm sleeping in the lab tonight; you can do whatever you want." Katherine was too tired to
move and did not notice that her phone had been automatically turned off because it ran
out of battery.
Jorge was initially waiting happily for the good news of the Levisays' partnership project
with the Cornells, but nothing came in until the evening.
He personally called the Levisay Group to ask about it, and only then did he find out that
the project he was interested in had been given away to others by the Levisay Group.
Moreover, the contract was just drawn up this afternoon.
Jorge was angry and called Katherine, but he could not reach her phone. As he thought
she was avoiding him, he flew into a rage.
Katherine did not know what had happened to the Cornells. She was so tired that she slept
until two in the next afternoon.
The research institute was very busy, and everyone was in a hurry.
Seeing Katherine come out, many people could not help but look at her.
It was simply because Katherine was too young and beautiful.
She was so gorgeous that everyone felt that she was not the kind of woman who could
concentrate on academics.
"Who is that woman? Are there still such young researchers in the institute?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"She's not a researcher. She's a relative of Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller brought her here for a
tour. She's so audacious to continue to stay here and not leave. If it were me, I would have
left long ago."
"A relative? I thought she was a researcher. She's pretty."
"Haha, she only has the looks but not the brains. This kind of woman is very good at
seducing men. I doubt she can endure the loneliness that comes with academic research."
A few people gossiped as they passed by Katherine.
Their voices were not too loud or soft, and Katherine could somewhat hear them.
She could not help but glance at the woman who had a negative opinion of her.
The woman was not very young and was in her early thirties. She had plain facial features,
a short and chubby stature, and her face was covered with acne marks. She had a mean
look.
Katherine just glanced at her a little, then withdrew her gaze and went to find Theodore.
Hawk had started taking medication after the operation yesterday. Under normal
circumstances, the effect could be seen after taking seven days of medication.
"Kathy, you're awake. I was just going to find you." Theodore came over in a hurry, and as
soon as he saw Katherine, he hurriedly dragged her over.
"The patient's vitals have now stabilized. When the brain cell activity was detected this
morning, it was found to be 15 percent active. It is estimated that he will wake up in a
week. If he recovers well, he may be able to regain consciousness early."
Theodore could not help being excited.
If Hawk could wake up, it would prove that their experimental medicine was successful
this time!
Katherine was also full of joy. "Find a few more patients as soon as possible to test out the
medication and monitor its effect. If they can all wake up, it will prove that our medicine
can be put into use."
She could not help being surprised after checking Hawk's physical condition.
Hawk's physical fitness was better than that of ordinary people, and he was probably a
trainer. He was a little different from the trainers that Katherine knew, because during the
inspection, she clearly felt that there was something strange in Hawk's body. It was
precisely because of this that he recovered so quickly.
Katherine did not understand even after thinking about it, but she noticed that it was
getting late. She had been out for almost two days, and Jorge was probably going to kill
her.
Katherine did not want to miss Jorge's interesting expression when he learned that the
project he was coveting was taken away by others.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave it to you here. Feel free to contact me if you have
any updates. But it's better not to contact me." Katherine explained to Theodore before
leaving in a hurry.
After she exited the research institute, she turned on the phone and found that there were
many missed calls. Jorge had also sent several messages to threaten her. He even
threatened her grandmother's life who lived far away in Fontan.
As Katherine's eyes became a little colder, the corners of her mouth also curved up a little.
She then took a cab back to the Cornell Residence.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard Jorge cursing, and it seemed that he was
furious.
Katherine was in a good mood. The worse Jorge's mood was, the better her mood would
be.
"You! You dare to come back? You brat! Brat!"
Katherine had just entered the door when a vase shattered in front of her.
She lowered her head and glanced at it. It was a fake, so it was not very valuable.
"Dad, what's the matter? Why are you so angry? Did Rosemary get into trouble again?
Please be patient with children and don't get all riled up, or you will damage your health."
Katherine looked at Jorge in surprise and worry.
"Did you tell Joaquin what I asked you to tell him?" Jorge was so furious that his chest hurt.
He covered his chest and stared at Katherine while questioning her with gritted teeth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I told you that he was by my side when you called me. So, I told him, but he said that he's
now a cripple, so he has no right to take care of the Levisay Group, and that he has no
way at all. If you want a partnership, you have to go to his younger brother, Robert. Dad, I
think Joaquin is really useless, and he has no self-motivation at all. Let's not get into a
marriage with the Levisays. I don't want to marry a cripple."
Katherine spoke in an aggrieved tone, then took a few steps forward and stood in front of
Jorge.
Jorge's face changed; he did not expect that it was Robert who was holding the power
now.
It seemed that he had to find an opportunity as soon as possible to arrange a meeting
between Rosemary and Robert.
"The Levisay Group is under Robert now?" Jorge suppressed his anger and looked at
Katherine, ignoring her talk of breaking the marriage engagement off.
"Yeah, it's true. I'm afraid I won't have much status in that family in the future." Katherine
pretended to raise her hand and wipe the corners of her eyes.
Jorge snorted in his heart, but his face did not reveal anything. He just raised his hand and
patted Katherine's shoulder, comforting her, "No matter how bad he is, he is still the
eldest descendant of the Levisays, and he's still a wealthy man. You will definitely not
have anything to worry about in the future. Your mother made the decision on your
marriage with him; do you want to disappoint your mother?"
Katherine's eyes grew colder. Jorge had the audacity to mention Elsie?
"I'm sorry, Dad. I understand, and I won't mention this matter again in the future."
Katherine lowered her head, looking resigned.
Jorge looked at her and suddenly had an idea. He laughed all of a sudden and said, "Kathy,
you must feel very lonely living in the Levisay Residence by yourself, right? I think I'll have
Rose move to the Levisay Residence to accompany you. In this way, you will have
company, and you won't be lonely there. What do you think?"
Katherine sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she agreed sensibly. "Alright. Thank you,
Dad, for understanding me. Let's have Rosemary live with me at the Levisay Residence
then."
Lisa gave Katherine a surprised look. How can this little b*tch possibly be so kind?
