A Replacement Bride

Chapter 238

Chapter 238

Grimness enveloped Joaquin's face as he looked at the unfamiliar room after regaining consciousness, for he instinctively assumed he had been held captive. But the idea was quickly dismissed as he noticed his wounds had been treated.

Even if the enemy kept him alive after capturing him, they wouldn't be nice enough to treat him either.

Fate was truly wondrous. Even when he was on the other side of the world, he would still run into her somehow.

Delight filled him up as the thought came to him, and he descended the stairs with a smile, only to stop in his tracks the next second. His inchoate joy, too, vanished, replaced by hostility.

At that, he glanced at the bathrobe he was wearing, and a hint of mischief enveloped his handsome face.
