Chapter 138

Katherine continued to chat with Jessica for a while before she saw that it was almost time for her to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Joaquin only came out of the room then. Seeing him, Jennifer looked at him from head to toe before her gaze eventually fell on the mask on his face. She casually asked after looking at him for a while, "You live here too, Johdy?"

Joaquin walked over and sat down beside Jennifer before he obediently answered, "I live next door, Grandma. I am here to help during the few days that you are here."

Joaquin, who usually wouldn't falter even in the face of violent criminals, was actually a little nervous being scrutinized by Jennifer.

"Oh? How can you help by staying here?" Jennifer's expression didn't change as she asked. It might seem as if she was just exchanging pleasantries with him, but her every word was fishing for information.

"I help with—"

"Joaquin, come and help me wash the vegetables." He was just about to answer when Katherine's voice came from the kitchen.

"I am coming," he quickly agreed and beamed at Jennifer.

Jennifer only quietly looked at him with a half-smile, her gaze pausing on both his wounds.

He then stood up and headed to the kitchen to help Katherine.

As he stepped into the kitchen, Katherine passed the vegetables she was holding to him and reminded, "Don't tell my grandmother too much. She is not young anymore. I worry that we will scare her."

After pondering for a while, he gave her his evaluation. "Your grandmother is really something."

"She is just a normal grandmother." She peered at Joaquin. "There is nothing special."

He didn't say anything in return, but he knew that no ordinary person would make the government come forward and arrange for someone to protect them.
