A Replacement Bride

Chapter 68

Aberama made himself completely at home as soon as he came in. "Say, Kathy, that guy in the elevator looks pretty familiar." He couldn't help frowning as he sat on the couch with a cushion in his arms, recollecting Joaquin's face.

Katherine quirked her brow lightly and gave him a gentle reminder, saying, "Mm, he's Joaquin of the Levisay Family."

Aberama nearly died from choking on his own saliva. "Who?!"

"You heard it right. It's the Joaquin Levisay you know." Katherine nodded in affirmation as though she had read Aberama's mind.

The corner of his lips twitched as his countenance changed multifold. "You're telling me that you and Joaquin Levisay are neighbors, and you are also his fiancée? Tsk, that's a hell of a fate."

"Huh," Katherine sneered and yawned. With that, she went further into the apartment to come out with a wooden box, chucking it toward Aberama. "Here's your thing. Now leave."

As she had some liquor the night before, she was now experiencing a splitting headache, constantly feeling like she hadn't had a proper rest, and her head only felt worse when she saw Aberama.

"Careful with this." Aberama rolled his eyes at her with feigned anger as he opened the wooden box. "This is worth over billions, which can buy a proper house in Kyoland."

However, Katherine didn't think much of it. She narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat sleepy. "Better not give this medicine to someone with an underlying medical condition."

"Huh?" Aberama's hand holding the medicine froze for a second. "You didn't say anything about that before."

"Huh, I gave it for you to consume yourself, but who'd have thought all you saw in that thing was money and sold it off?!" Katherine rolled her eyes at him and pondered for a moment before explaining, "This medicine is like a potion in the video games you play. However, it's not as miraculous as that. This medicine can only strengthen your body and improve your health. I advise giving this to someone in the pink. It'd be dangerous if an elderly takes it."

"Right, okay, I got it. I'll keep that in mind." Aberama nodded soberly, keeping the box away carefully. "By the way, the thing I told you about the other day—"

"I'm not treating them. These guys are a whole lot of trouble. Tell them to go to a hospital themselves." Katherine rejected him without even thinking.
