A Replacement Bride

Chapter 274

Chapter 274

When she reawakened, the sky had turned pitch black. The bed was illuminated by a warm light, and although it wasn't bright, she was still blinded by the light as soon as she opened her eyes. Just as she raised her hand to shield her eyes, a large, warm hand suddenly and gently covered her eyes.

She jolted and was still recovering her senses when a familiar low voice sounded beside her.

"Are you awake? How do you feel? Do you feel better now?"

After taking a second to react, her eyes adapted to the light in the room and she grabbed the hand in front of her to move it away, looking at the man by her bed.

"Huh… Why am I here? This is…"

When Joaquin looked at her bleary eyes and confused expression, resignation filled his eyes. "You fainted. This is one of the guest rooms at the Fraser Residence."

Upon saying that, he couldn't resist furrowing his brows, his expression full of disapproval and even displeasure as he looked at her.

"Your body clearly couldn't handle it, so why did you try to push yourself and save three people all at once? How much energy did you spend in all that time? Do you think you're made of steel?"

The moment he saw her collapse in front of him, he was filled with so much panic that he felt like he was suffocating. As he stayed by her bedside and watched as she remained unconscious, he felt both anxious and worried, dreading that she would remain asleep like this.

This was probably the first time in his life that he had been so worried about someone, and it was a feeling he had never experienced before. Now, he finally knew that falling in love with someone meant that he would only have her in his heart and that everything about her would stir up this many emotions in him as if nothing else existed besides her.

As Katherine looked at his deeply furrowed brows, her heart skipped a beat for reasons unbeknownst to her. Subconsciously, without putting much thought into her actions, she raised her hand.

Joaquin was puzzled as he held her extended hand. Worried that she wasn't feeling well, he hurriedly stopped chiding her and asked, "What's wrong?"
