A Replacement Bride

Chapter 171

Katherine stepped into the study. A box half the height of a person was waiting for her there.

Picking up a knife from the desk, she opened the box.

The hematology analyzer that Aberama had in his hand was one of the most advanced analyzers in the world. Unfortunately, not even the local hospitals were using such advanced equipment.

She assembled the machine and then drew a bit of her own blood for analysis. Within three minutes, the device quickly came out with the analysis.

When Joaquin entered the office, Katherine was carefully studying the printout.

He stood by her side and waited patiently for her to finish perusing the printout before asking, "Are you feeling better? Have some sugar water."

This made her jump in shock. She hadn't noticed him coming in. He held out a glass of sugar water for her.

The corners of her mouth twitched. "I'm fine. Really."

However, he pressed the cup into her hands. "Have a drink anyway."

Katherine couldn't think of an easy way to refuse his kindness, so she took the cup.

After taking a sip, she couldn't help but frown and silently set the cup aside. Seeing this, Joaquin asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

"No." Katherine shook her head wordlessly. She forced herself to swallow the small mouthful of water she had taken.

It was far too sweet, and a faint taste of ginger made her stomach turn unpleasantly.

Her menstrual cramps had subsided with only a bit of lingering discomfort. And now, after drinking the water, it made her want to throw up.
