A Replacement Bride

Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Katherine's query meant that she was ready to accept the fact that Jennifer had passed away and that she was going to bid her farewell.

Joaquin knew that she was immersed in her grief, so he spoke in an especially slow and soft tone to take care of her feelings. When she heard that Jennifer would like to be buried next to Darren, she felt tears brimming in her eyes.

A few minutes later, she croaked, "Grandpa is buried in Mount Southpeak, which is located on the outskirts of Kyoland."

"Okay." He slowly rubbed her back as he comforted her gently, "I got it. Just leave this to me." Then, he asked, "Would you like to take a look at that notebook now?"

She nodded before finally humming in agreement.

At her acquiescence, he reached out, retrieved the notebook from the bedside drawer, and passed it to her.

Katherine stared at the thick notebook in her hands and ran her fingers across the surface reverently. However, she didn't open it right away as she held it to her chest, as though she was giving Jennifer a last hug.

This was the only legacy Jennifer left for her, and maybe it was her mind playing tricks on her, but she thought she could still feel the last embers of Jennifer's soul.

The moon hung in the night sky, and she asked, "How long was I out?"

"Ten hours," Joaquin answered honestly. "It's almost 9.00PM now."

She didn't reply to that, and after a couple of minutes, she murmured, "Where's Grandma?"

There was a short moment of silence as he lowered his gaze, watching her with a profound look. "She's in the room next door, and Donald is with her. Are you ready to visit her?"

She sat up without a word, felt the thick notebook in her hands again, and nodded with lowered eyes.

Joaquin didn't stop her this time. After all, she had to face this sooner or later, so he accompanied her, saying, "Give me a minute."
