A Replacement Bride

Chapter 110

Chapter 110

"I just got you out of trouble. So, how are you going to repay me for that?" Joaquin fixed his gaze upon Katherine while approaching her. At the same time, he was trying to assert his dominance over her.

In the meantime, Katherine instantly dismissed her suspicion the moment she heard Joaquin's voice, although she was just beginning to find him familiar. I must have been out of my mind or something. How is this cunning and scheming man the same person as my fiancé? At the thought of that, Katherine shook her head and pulled herself together, rolling her eyes upward at the man. "I didn't need your help in the first place. In fact, you volunteered to help me, yet I'm expected to thank you for that? You wish!"

At the sight of Katherine's feisty reaction, Joaquin curled his lips upward and went on to peek at his surroundings in the ward. Meanwhile, London was still busy bickering with Idris, who seemed helpless yet annoyed as he was surrounded by them. After all, he was a decently educated man who was no match for those women in an argument. On the other hand, Tessa, who had fainted and was lying on the ground, and Hebert, who was lying in bed with his life hanging by a thread, were seemingly forgotten by everyone else around them.

"What's his story? Is his condition curable?" Joaquin asked. Although the Levisay Family and the Leigh Family were hardly business partners, Joaquin, who had spoken to Hebert a few times, knew the latter was an honorable man and respected him for that.

"No," Katherine replied tersely, showing little interest in replying to Joaquin as she seemingly didn't want to talk about Hebert's illness.

Noticing Katherine's reaction, Joaquin decided not to press on with his advance. He then took a look at the time, thinking Beatrice should have already been found by Jeremy at that time. Believing Beatrice should be back to her ward by now, he was planning to pay her a visit later.

"I still have business to attend to, so I should probably get going now." Katherine excused herself right away since she didn't think they were close with each other anyway. As soon as she finished her words, she turned around and walked away, leaving Joaquin, who had his eyes glued to her silhouette, behind.

After that, Joaquin took his eyes off the lady and returned to Beatrice's ward, only to see her sitting on the bed with a pale face. When he entered the ward, Beatrice looked away like she didn't want to see Joaquin and asked, "What are you doing, Joe?"

"Please don't do anything stupid. I've never forgotten my promise at all. The reason I'm always away from you is that I'm afraid that I could put you in danger with you by my side." Joaquin gazed at Beatrice's face, which reminded him of the moment that he found her lying beside him in bed as he fixed his gaze on her expression. Despite her gentle expression at that moment, she insisted that he didn't have to be responsible for her. However, little did Joaquin know that Beatrice's reaction was exactly what stole his heart.

Joaquin fixed his gaze upon Katherine while approaching her. At the same time, he was
