A Replacement Bride

Chapter 266

Chapter 266

After a moment of hesitation, Joaquin asked quietly, "Is there… another way to save her?"

Katherine pursed her lips before letting out a barely audible sigh.

"Death is inevitable. We can't escape the cycle of life and death. It is only a matter of time. Grandma's health has been declining over the years, but I have been using my skills to prolong her life. Her time has now come and I have been expecting it. However, it still hurts me to accept that she's dying."

Katherine's words implied that no skills were possible to save Jennifer from the jaws of death.

The realization put a weight on Joaquin and his heart sank. Feeling at a loss for words, he put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it in a comforting manner.

Even though he met Jennifer not long ago, this was the first time he felt the happiness of having a family after spending some time with her.

Compared to the Levisays who were related to him by blood, Jennifer was more like family to him.

Therefore, when he heard the truth, a pang of sadness welled up inside him.

As Katherine tucked Jennifer's hand under the blanket, a hint of reluctance emerged in her eyes.

"Although Grandma's days are numbered, I'll still look into ways to prolong her life as much as possible, so she can feel less pain. I know she hasn't been happy all these years because she worries about many people and matters. I only hope that she can spend the remainder of her life happily. I want to make it worthwhile for her. It's the least I can do for her."

Joaquin nodded and comforted her in a soothing voice, "Don't worry. Grandma will understand your kind gesture. We'll stay by her side until the very last moment of her life."

As the two spoke quietly, someone knocked on the door all of a sudden.

He patted her shoulder lightly before turning around and answering the door.
