A Replacement Bride

Chapter 172

There was a gloomy look on Katherine's face. She copied the blood analysis report into her phone and then turned on her computer before clicking frantically on the icon of a red spider. In the application, she found the name of one of her friends and sent the report over.

She furiously hammered out a message that read, "Do me a favor. First, find out what kind of poison this is. Then, I'll send you a blood sample."

Her memories of Noah's biological father were hazy. She just remembered the pungent metallic stench on him in the dark.

What she remembered most was the heat of his body as he pressed against her. There were no other memories of him.

For the next five years, that one night became a nightmare that she wished she could forget.

She wouldn't have thought of doing a blood test if it weren't because Noah always had a weak constitution. Nevertheless, she was worried because Noah's health recently showed signs of deterioration.

"What's this?" The person that Katherine had messaged was known only as Q. His avatar was a plain black square.

He read through the contents of Katherine's message and was instantly intrigued. He typed back a reply. "This is interesting. When will I get this blood sample? Judging from the data, there are probably toxins that destroy the growth of hematopoietic stem cells, causing hematopoietic anemia. They might also cause some clotting disorders. I haven't seen this poison before."

"I'll send it to you soon. Give me an address," she replied after giving his words a long thought.

"Very well." Then, the man known as Q sent her a phone number and an address.

Katherine was surprised. She hadn't expected him to reside in Kyoland.

She had known Q for almost two years. He had a reputation on the Red Web as an expert on poisons. He could crack almost any poison that came to his hands.
