A Replacement Bride

Chapter 132

"Darn it! Why does my wound hurt so badly?" Joaquin cursed, his face full of frustration.

Ever since he took the shot that Katherine brought over, his wound had been hurting, and even the painkillers and analgesia pumps he took were not effective at all.

Ben looked at him cautiously. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Mr. Levisay, that's because you reopened your wound, and the new injury caused the pain to increase. Even painkillers would be of little use. Besides, you've never felt any pain before, so now that you've suddenly recovered…"

"Enough. Get lost," Joaquin berated mercilessly.

He didn't want to know the reason at all. As he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, he could now be sure that Katherine was doing it on purpose and deliberately made him experience what it was like to be in pain.

Unfortunately, no matter how angry he was, she wouldn't be able to see it as she had gone back to Soulin International and enjoyed a hot bath before heading to bed. When she got up early the next morning, she received a phone call from a courier.

Katherine asked the other party in confusion after answering the phone, "I didn't buy anything. What is the delivery for?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Cornell, but we're not sure either. However, outsiders are not allowed to enter your neighborhood. I'm currently at the entrance. Can you come out and take the parcel?" The person on the phone sounded courteous and polite.

After racking her brain, she still did not know what it was. There were not many people who knew her address here, and she usually had her things delivered to the research institute.

"Alright, give me a minute." After a long silence, she agreed and hung up the phone.

She rummaged through her closet for a shirt and put it on before she headed downstairs to retrieve the parcel at the entrance.
