A Replacement Bride

Chapter 248

After Katherine ended the call, she looked at Joaquin and parted her lips to explain everything. Alas, she felt as though something was stuffed in her throat, and her voice refused to cooperate with her.

He was sitting right next to her the entire time, so he had already listened in on the conversation between her and Keith. He hugged her gently and reassured her, "I know. Don't worry. Since Keith has the antidote, we can save Noah."

At this point, he could feel a tidal wave of emotions thrashing in his heart. Previously, his love for Noah was a natural bond that he had dismissed because he thought his love for her was due to Katherine and a yearning to have a daughter of his own with Katherine.

Now that he thought about it, he finally realized where the inexplicable and unconditional love he had for Noah came from. As part of the saying goes, 'blood is thicker than water'. Noah was his biological daughter!

When he thought of this, he quickly whisked out his phone and excitedly booked a flight ticket. Thus, he threw the doctor's advice out the window and returned to Cechirus with Katherine that very night.

Meanwhile, Jayden immediately got the news that Joaquin and Katherine had left Fontan the instant they reached the airport. "Boss, Miss Cornell just boarded the flight to Hovington."

Jayden was currently flipping through a file. So, when he heard of this, he raised his dark eyes and asked, "Did she leave alone?"

"No." His assistant, Aaron, shook his head. "She was with a man, but Boss, you wouldn't have guessed who that man was!" At this point, Aaron looked solemn. "He's from Area Seven! He was the man who was ordered to destroy our lab five years ago!"

Jayden didn't even flinch when he heard the news, but his gaze was filled with unnamed emotions.

Aaron was a little puzzled by his lack of reaction. "Boss, why aren't you surprised?"

Jayden sneered.
