"Is that so?" Joaquin smiled, not pursuing the topic any further.

After Katherine inspected his wound, she reapplied his medication and was just about to say something when her phone vibrated. When she took it out and glanced at it, she raised her eyebrows in surprise before making a call back.

"Hello? Is this Miss Cornell? I'm here to deliver a parcel, and I'm already at No. 731 Honor Street, but it seems like there's no one here. Do you want me to drop it off somewhere else for you, or are you coming back now?" On the other end of the phone, a pleasant voice sounded.

"I'll come back right now." Katherine answered straightforwardly, then said to Jeremy, "Go back to the clinic immediately."

Hearing that, Jeremy put the pedal to the metal, the bumpy road bringing a frown to Joaquin's face as he coldly swept his eyes at Jeremy who was behind the wheel. Meanwhile, Jeremy only pretended not to feel it, and continued driving in silence.

Half an hour later, they stopped at the entrance of the clinic, where there was a young man in a casual linen suit holding a box in his hands. Immediately after they arrived, Katherine pulled the car door open and got out, walking toward him.

When the man saw her, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward. "Are you Miss Cornell?"

"Where's the parcel?" Katherine did not answer his question, but her eyes fell on the box in his hands.

That box was made of the finest wood, and it had been carefully processed so that it wouldn't be ruined easily. Hence, just the box alone was worth a lot of money.

"Here it is. Miss Cornell, I…" The man raised the box in his hands, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt a weight being lifted off his hands as the box was already in Katherine's hands.

As she opened the box and saw the two medicinal herbs that were packed inside, the corners of her lips hooked before she closed it. "There's nothing wrong with the goods. You can go now."

"No, Miss Cornell, I…" The man was still about to speak, but she didn't even give him a chance.

What a joke. The underground trade that was run by the old man was extremely miserly, and it wasn't easy for her to get the best deal, so she refused to let this opportunity pass her by.
