Chapter 303

As soon as Katherine heard those words, she felt a buzzing sound flooding her mind to the point where she couldn't hear anything else.

Her complexion paled rapidly as she stared intently at Jennifer's face. Finally, she pressed her lips tightly together into a thin line.

Beside her, Joaquin looked sullen at the ill news. Then, he suddenly grabbed her hand and gave her a gentle squeeze.

She raised her head and gave him a dazed look. Only then did she recover from her shock.

"Don't panic. Grandma will be fine," he reassured. His low voice was very soothing and comforting.

She only lost her composure for that fleeting moment. After that, it didn't take long for her to calm down again. Still, she only managed a mechanic nod. "Yeah, I know."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she discovered her throat was parched. Her voice was so hoarse that it felt like she had sand in her throat.

She gritted her teeth and remained silent. Instead, she took out her needles and did her best to stay calm. Then, she methodically performed acupuncture on Jennifer.

Katherine had always been poised in the face of crisis. Even when she was forced to face Noah's repeated fainting spells, she could deal with the situation calmly.

However, her hands couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably at this moment. To make matters worse, her palms were also coated in a layer of perspiration.

An ominous premonition flooded her without any explanation, causing her to feel highly uneasy. She desperately tried to suppress the feeling, but that sense of dread continued to twist around her heart like poison ivy.

Fifteen minutes later, Jennifer's heavy eyelids seemed to flutter slightly. It took great effort for her to open her eyes.

Her cloudy eyes were momentarily confused. She stared at the ceiling for some time before her gaze roved around the room and glided over the faces of every single person in the room. Eventually, her gaze landed on Katherine's face.

"Kathy," she called Katherine's name in a raspy voice. Then, she lowered her gaze slightly, only to see needles sticking out of her body. When she saw Katherine still trying, she breathed out lightly. "Don't bother. There's no need for further acupuncture."
