A Replacement Bride

Chapter 230

'How are things coming along on your side? Have you gotten a result yet?' Katherine waited for a while after sending the text but seeing that Q never came online, she could only leave it for now.

Meanwhile, inside Joaquin's home at Soulin International, Keith turned the computer on groggily from having just awoken and immediately found a message from WW.

He was wide awake at once, and with a kip-up, he sat cross-legged while grazing his fingers against his chin.

There wasn't much he could help out with in Hovington now. Joaquin would look after Katherine, so she'd be fine as well.

Hence, he was better off returning to Kyoland to work on his research. The sooner he got a result, the sooner he could answer WW.

At that, he made an impromptu decision—he would rush back to Kyoland and develop a cure as fast as he could. With that, he replied to WW's message.

'Give me a little more time. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I promise.'

Followingly, he packed up and headed to Katherine's apartment.

"Grandma, what happened? You don't look too good," Keith asked with a frown as he found Jennifer looking awry the moment he entered.

"Keith, it's Noah. She has relapsed!" answered Jennifer apprehensively. The elder had been pacing back and forth mindlessly all evening.

Keith, on the other hand, turned grim upon hearing her words. "Where's Noah now, then? And Katherine and Joaquin?"

"She's been sent to the hospital. They're with her too. Katherine called just now, saying Noah's condition has stabled." Jennifer let out a murky breath with red-rimmed eyes, her heart aching for the little one. "Poor Noah. She's just a child, but she has to suffer such torment. I'd rather be the one with the sickness than see her live days so gut-wrenchingly. My poor baby girl…"
