A Replacement Bride

Chapter 38

"F*ck! Are you serious, Joaquin? I'm just saying. Do you have to get so riled up? You can't possibly have feelings for your fiancée and be jealous, right?"

After zoning out for a while, Ben finally entered the house. As he stepped inside, he stared at Joaquin, eyeing him up and down. It wasn't for long, though, because he quickly averted his gaze when Joaquin looked at him coldly. A chill ran down Ben's spine, making him feel like he was being watched by a predator.

Ben dared not to mess around anymore and quickly said, "Fine, forget what I said, okay? Let’s talk business. There has been progress in the medicine that you have been searching for. Someone on the Red Web has accepted our order and said the results would be within three months."

Hearing his words, Joaquin became serious as it was indeed an important thing. "Did you find out who accepted it?" he asked.

"Of course not. You know how the Red Web works. Moreover, with our ability, we can't possibly be able to find out the person's identity. Those who can get their hands on this medicine might be in one of those places. We can't afford to offend them." Ben shrugged, appearing to be helpless against this matter.

His reaction had Joaquin pursing his lips and going silent. He couldn't help but think about this matter.

"Joaquin, if we can get our hands on this, you will be able to recover from your injuries," Ben said while looking at him with a complex expression.

Four years ago, a severe accident had damaged Joaquin's pain receptors. For the past few years, they had searched for numerous specialists to heal him but to no avail. Just as they thought there was no hope, things took a turn where they suddenly received information on how to heal him.

Joaquin twitched his lips and seemed to be mindless about it.
