A Replacement Bride

Chapter 231

Chapter 231

When Katherine returned to the ward, Joaquin, who was seated next to Noah's bed, looked up to stare at her with his dark eyes.

"Noah is still sleeping," he informed, his voice slightly suppressed, as if fearing that he might wake the resting girl.

Katherine nodded. Her gaze fell upon Noah's pale little face, then turned toward Joaquin.

"Joaquin, there's something I want to tell you." She sounded clear and determined, with no hint of hesitation found in her tone.

Joaquin looked like he had been preparing for this a long time ago. He looked up as he looked back at her. "What is it?"

"I've decided to leave for a while."

As soon as Katherine made her announcement, Joaquin's pupils constricted as he queried in a low voice, "Where to?"

Katherine had no intention of hiding her destination. "Fontan."

Hearing her answer, Joaquin was slightly taken aback. "Whatever for?"

Originally, Katherine didn't plan on revealing the reason for this trip. After all, it had something to do with the incident five years ago, and that man was involved as well. It wasn’t the most pleasant topic to talk about.

However, for an unknown reason, she seemed to have slowly opened up to this man in front of her. She found herself talking to him about topics she wouldn’t talk to others about.

At the thought of that, she simply stayed silent for an instant before calmly speaking up.

"Noah's situation isn't too favorable at the moment, and I can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to find her biological father as soon as possible. If I want to figure out the exact poison used on Noah's body, I have to start with that man."

At the mention of that man from five years ago, she still felt incredibly uncomfortable, and she even felt slightly disgusted.
