Chapter 37

Canmore Road was located in the heart of Hovington's city business district. Hence, there was very dense traffic.

Katherine's place happened to be in the quietest part of this busy district as it was a high-end residential area with a tight security system. As such, outsiders could not enter easily, making the place peaceful.

As she got nearer, she saw a person lying on the ground. It was an old person in a gray cardigan, but it seemed like they were barely breathing while being curled up on the ground.

"Are you alright?" she asked probingly, but did not get a response.

Lifting her head, she looked around to search for security cameras and felt assured that she would not be blamed if anything happened to that person.

The temperature in Hovington during June was sweltering to the point where the ground was hot enough to fry eggs.

With a newfound resolve, she went forward to prop the old person up and was shocked when she saw a familiar face. It was Joaquin's grandma, Elizabeth.

At that moment, the old lady's eyes were tightly shut while her face and lips were as pale as a sheet. She had a shallow breath; it was as if she was going to stop breathing in the next second.

Katherine only allowed herself to be surprised for a moment before she grabbed onto the old lady's wrist to feel her pulse. She felt around for a while and realized that Elizabeth was suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest.

Elizabeth had been unconscious for some time and it was probably due to some sort of shock. If Katherine had arrived any later, the old lady was a lost cause.

After confirming the cause, Katherine did not dare delay anymore and fumbled for her needle pouch. She took out three silver needles before unbuttoning the old lady's shirt and puncturing her quickly with the silver needles.

The end of the needles trembled slightly as she slowly twisted the needles and pushed them further in. Then, she took a white porcelain bottle and tipped out a mahogany pill before stuffing it into Elizabeth's mouth. She patted her on the back so that Elizabeth would swallow the pill.

After doing all that, Katherine carried her up from the ground.
