Chapter 246

Joaquin's brows furrowed tightly as he heard her words, and his expression became grave at the thought of his daughter's illness. "What is the toxin in her body? Haven't you found a solution yet?"

Since they were on the topic of solutions, Katherine immediately thought of Q. "I know a person on the Red Web who specializes in poison research and is an expert in this field. I've already sent Noah's blood sample to him. So now, I can only wait for his prognosis."

Joaquin knew he couldn't rush her, especially when she had already explained the measures she had taken. Therefore, all they could do for now was to wait patiently.

As their conversation fell to a close, the two fell silent. Finally, the truth about five years ago, which had been a burden for the two, was completely unveiled. The two inevitably felt mixed emotions at this moment, and the atmosphere became quite strange.

"Why are you looking at me?" Of course, Katherine noticed his gaze. But her mind was still a mess, so she was still trying to untangle the said mess. However, she could no longer bear his unabashed attention on her person as she stared straight at him.

There was a bright grin on his handsome and charming face, and his starry eyes gleamed with pride as he replied boldly, "Because I want to look at you. You're my wife. So, there's nothing wrong with me looking at you."

Katherine pursed her lips and almost rolled her eyes at his antics.

"You're still hurt and on bed rest for two days. Doctor's orders. Get some rest. I'm leaving now." With that, she was about to get up when Joaquin suddenly tugged on her wrist. She staggered, fell onto Joaquin's lap, and her body was pressed against his firm chest.

"Hey! W-What are you doing?!" His actions shocked Katherine, and she hastily tried to remove herself from this intimate position. Unfortunately, he refused to let go. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her tightly and stopped her from leaving.

He looked down, and his eyes were filled with gratified satisfaction. His lips curled into a small smile, and he pressed his forehead against hers.

Their sudden close proximity made her feel flustered, and she froze on the spot. It didn't help that they could feel the warm breath spreading on each other's faces as they breathed.

Katherine's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her cheeks felt a little warm, and she could tell that there was a growing flush right up to the tips of her ears. She frantically looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
