A Replacement Bride

Chapter 112

Meanwhile, Katherine arrived at Soulin International, easing up on her movement, when she heard some noises next door. Then, she saw the door next to her unit open before Joaquin, who was wearing a casual outfit, showed up with a gray mask on his face to dispose of his garbage. When he saw Katherine, he was stunned, whereupon he curled his lips upward and asked, "How do I look? I look great, don't I?"

Nevertheless, Katherine rolled her eyes upward in response, cringing at his mischief before she opened the door and entered her home. What's wrong with me? I must have been out of my mind to have thought that Joaquin was the same person as the thug I saw at the hospital the other day. Gosh! I can’t believe I even sized him up for a few moments. Although the two of them may look like they're about the same size, I'm sure they're not the same person at all. After entering her home, Katherine subconsciously placed her hand on her chest, confused by her rapid heartbeat. What's wrong with me? I don't feel right now. Is it because the treatment took a toll on my body? Katherine tried to convince herself that her exhaustion was due to the treatment as she went ahead to take a shower and hit the hay.

Hebert was startled by the voice as he frowned and looked at the door. Then, feeling unhappy with the way Tessa put her words, he coldly questioned her. "What's wrong? You seem disappointed to see me awake, don't you?"

It was then that Tessa realized she had blurted out quicker than her mind could react. Thus, she shook her head in denial and tried to explain herself. "N-No. Of course not. Why would I be disappointed, Dear? I was just too… Happy and surprised to see you back to your senses."

Hebert ignored his wife and continued to take his medication. At the same time, Tessa stepped forward to take a closer look at the medication her husband was taking, catching a pungent smell that left her wondering what he was taking. Out of curiosity, she asked, "What is it that you're taking, Dear? You mustn't take any medication that you barely know anything about due to your concerning health
