A Replacement Bride

Chapter 264

Once the eyesore got thrown out of the ward, Joaquin immediately rushed to Jennifer's side and expressed his concern with a frown. "How's Grandma?"

Pursing her lips, Katherine didn't give him the answer he was expecting. "Give me a hand. Help me get Grandma to bed."

He did as told without wasting time.

Once he put Jennifer on the bed, Katherine opened her needle pouch and performed acupuncture on Jennifer with her utmost attention.

After a while, Jeremy hurriedly returned to the room.

"Mr. Levisay, I've thrown the old h*g out. She won't be able to sneak past the security guards outside. I've also alerted the doctor."

However, Jeremy only received a displeased glance from Joaquin.

He instantly took the hint and cut his words short. He grabbed the doctor, who was walking over to check on Jennifer, by the arm and stopped him in his tracks.

They began to lose track of time while Katherine's forehead started to bead with sweat. Her hand was slippery with sweat, but her fingers didn't stop fiddling with the needles.

She then took Jennifer's pulse one last time before she pulled out the needles.

After she pulled out the last needle, her body slightly wavered to the side. Her face paled and the blood drained from her lips.

Joaquin was worried about her and he reached out a hand to help steady her.

"How are you feeling? Are you alright? Do you want to take a break?"

Katherine shook her head at his concern. Even so, the frown between her brows remained as she raised a hand to wipe at the sweat on her forehead.

"Don't worry about me. It's just that I stood up too fast."

The visage of her forcing herself didn't ease Joaquin's worries. Therefore, he helped her to the chair on the side before he shot Jeremy a look. At that, Jeremy let go of the doctor's arm and allowed the other man to pass through.
