A Replacement Bride

Chapter 187

Katherine woke up the next day and found herself tucked into her own bed with Noah beside her. Joaquin was still breathing evenly and sleeping on the floor. Perhaps it was the alcohol; Katherine felt like yesterday was just a dream because it was surreal. Just when she fell into a trance, she heard Noah calling for her and regained her senses.

"Mom." Noah opened her eyes as she sensed movement beside her. She stretched out to grab her mother's wrist. "Mom, don't be afraid. I will protect you when I grow up."

Katherine's heart softened when she heard that. She reached out and gently pulled Noah into her arms. "Why do you think Mom needs protection?"

"Well… Noah will become very powerful in the future, and I will protect you." Noah tried to think of a good answer but couldn't. So, she merely repeated what she said as she scratched her head and gave her a silly smile. Katherine simply treated Noah's reply as a child's babble. She raised her hand, flicked Noah's forehead lightly, and then got up to prepare breakfast.

Joaquin and Katherine had a tacit understanding about what happened yesterday, so he acted as if nothing had happened after she got drunk.

As soon as Katherine finished her breakfast, her phone rang. She took a glance and frowned in slight annoyance but still answered the call anyway. "What's the matter?"

"Katy, do you know you're a sensation now? How did you manage to cure Elizabeth yesterday?" Aberama's voice sounded somewhat agitated over the phone.

Katherine moved the phone away from her ear in distaste. She instantly knew what had happened, so she did not beat around the bush. "Get to the point, Aberama."
