A Replacement Bride

Chapter 169

Jennifer sighed as she looked at Katherine's strange expression. "Kathy, I know you're haunted by a trauma. If you refuse to tell me what happened, I will not insist on knowing, but I really hope you can let go of the past and live in the present. Johdy is a nice guy, and I can tell that he is interested in you. I hope that I can witness your happiness before I die."

"Grandma, I..." Katherine opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say to Jennifer about the incident.

Katherine would break out in cold sweat in the middle of the night every time she remembered that night five years ago. It was impossible for her to forget what had happened and the trauma it had caused her.

That was especially so when a man went near her. Every time that happened, she could feel the trauma attacking her intensely.

Until now, she had no idea who that man five years ago was, but she could clearly remember the agony she felt at that instant.

Katherine did not want to continue on this any further. With her eyes closed, she turned around and asked, "Why isn't Noah up yet? Please check on her, Grandma."

When Jennifer saw Katherine's silhouette from behind, she knew that no matter how much she said, it would all be for naught. As a result, she sighed and proceeded to check on Noah.

Katherine, on the other hand, continued to prepare the breakfast absentmindedly.

Just as she finished beating the egg, she heard Jennifer's scream from Noah's room. "Noah? What happened to you? Don't scare me!"

Katherine's heart immediately sank when she heard that. She quickly turned off the stove, ignoring the egg in the pan, and rushed to Noah's room.
