Chapter 163
Once he left Jennifer's room, Joaquin lowered his gaze and studied the chest in his hands. It was a hand-carved chest made from the finest rosewood, which gave off a faint scent. There was a lock on the chest, but he didn't see the key, which he guessed Jennifer had already passed to Katherine sometime earlier.
After that, he left for home with the chest. Thinking for a moment, he sent Katherine a message on WhatsApp to remind her about paying attention to Jennifer.
At first, she was surprised to receive such a message from him. Then, she went straight to Jennifer's room and knocked on the door.
The room remained silent as no answer came from behind the door. She waited for a while before she pushed the door open and went inside.
Jennifer was sleeping on the bed with rhythmic breathing. Walking over, she sat on the bed and took the elder woman's pulse on her wrist. She had made sure Jennifer was only undergoing the normal aging process and wasn't suffering from various diseases. Then, she put her grandmother's hand down, tucked the woman under the blanket with gentle movements, and left the bedroom.
As she began to walk away from Jennifer's bedroom, she recalled Joaquin saying Zachary was fond of oil paintings, so she took a turn and went to Noah's room.
Noah had always kept her room clean and tidy as her things were organized in their designated place according to her preference, and no dust could be found on every surface.
Noah's face bloomed with happiness when she saw Katherine. Sitting at the place where she was, her eyes never left the older woman as she softly addressed, "Mom."
Even though she had a delicate and adorable face, Katherine could never completely accept her identity. Pursing her lips, Katherine stood there for a moment before she managed to speak her request. "Can I have some of your drawings?"
"Sure." Noah cheerfully did as told as she turned away to look for them.
Noah loved to draw. During her free time, she would stay in her room to draw instead of going out. She was immersed in the world exclusive to herself, resisting the idea of the outside world reaching her.
Looking at the little silhouette of Noah, Katherine couldn't help but sigh.
Noah pulled the drawer out and came back with a pile of her works. Standing in hesitation, she began meekly, "Mom, which one do you like?"
Katherine stretched out her hands and took the drawings from Noah.
