A Replacement Bride

Chapter 241

At the mention of Noah, Joaquin's attention was quickly diverted. "That reminds me. Haven't you come to Fontan to investigate the incident five years ago? How is it coming along? Have you found anything?"

Katherine suddenly didn't know how to answer him when he brought the topic up, and her grip on the steering wheel tightened.

Besides, they were in the car right then; it wasn't a good place to talk about this. Then, a hint of deliberation flashed across her eyes, but she still decided not to lay her cards out now. "I have. I'll tell you after we get back."

As Joaquin was still oblivious to the truth, he didn't overthink and just nodded.

However, after arriving at Katherine's mansion, he began feeling sluggish. Perhaps the ointment had taken effect.

In addition to living through a heart-stopping chase, he even went out for lunch despite still recovering from a major blood loss and a serious injury. Having been through all that, coupled with the medicine taking effect, he naturally began feeling drowsy.

Katherine, on the other hand, frowned when she noticed he was looking sluggish and brought him into the bedroom right away. "Sleep, now. You're not Wolverine, and you should be recuperating in the first place. Whatever it is you want to talk about, it can wait until you're better."

While speaking, she chucked her phone to him while pulling out another one from the drawer.

"The things you usually keep close to you are gone. You've probably lost them during the chase. Jeremy will probably call this number if he wants to contact you, so you take it."

She had many other reachable contacts anyway, and Savannah would naturally adapt if she couldn't reach Katherine.

Joaquin was already on the verge of falling asleep and couldn't even lift a finger either at this point. After humming a response submissively, he was out cold.

It was summer in Fontan, and it was much warmer and more humid than in Hovington.
