A Replacement Bride

Chapter 201

"Forget about me, Katherine. Just go." Jorge came to his senses at that moment, struggling to get the words out of his mouth while seizing Katherine's wrist.

Katherine kept her head down and looked at her own father, who had always tried to take advantage of her throughout her whole life. Nevertheless, she only saw kindness and remorse in the man's eyes instead of his usual ill intentions now that he was close to death. Soon, she pursed her lips and kept her eyes on Jorge without letting the man go. Then, she sat him up and let him lean on her.

Instead of checking on Beatrice, who was acting crazy, Katherine went on to take her father out of the premises for a walk.

In the meantime, Jorge set his eyes on the side view of Katherine's face, feeling as if he was looking at his deceased wife, Elsie. With a smile on his face, his hands finally dropped from Katherine's shoulders. In that instant, Katherine could no longer feel her father's breath anymore, shivering from head to toe for a second as she stopped in her tracks.

A few moments later, she heard hasty footsteps from behind her, whereupon Joaquin showed up and wrapped his arms around her. At the same time, Jeremy, who was following right behind Joaquin, immediately went on to take care of Jorge's lifeless body.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Joaquin asked in a concerned manner, his gaze fixed on the young lady.

Katherine shook her head and looked back to gaze at Beatrice. "Aren't you going to say goodbye to her?"

He responded by pursing his lips in silence for the next few moments. Despite the mistakes that Beatrice had made, he still couldn't deny the fact that she was the first woman with whom he had intimacy. He then recalled that night when he would have died if it had not been for Beatrice.

he would have died if it hadn't been for Beatrice. Because of that, he felt indebted toward her, thinking he should forgive her, no matter how many mistakes she had made, but nonetheless, he could no longer force himself to be with her.

"Let's get you out of here first." Joaquin looked away from Beatrice and walked Katherine out through the factory's door.
