A Replacement Bride

Chapter 314

Chapter 314

As her eyes got used to the warm light, Katherine tugged on his hand and let out a soft hum.

Her morning voice was nasally and a little hoarse. She was still a little sleepy.

"I had a dream just now. I dreamed of Grandma. She came to say goodbye to me."

Joaquin didn't say anything but looked at her with his dark eyes.

He sighed softly after a while before wiping the edge of her eyes with his fingertips. "We've already said our goodbyes. Now let's just calmly anticipate the future."

Katherine did not refute and nodded. "I understand. Everyone will go after all. Grandma wouldn't want me to dwell on the past, and neither would I."

She didn't bring up the matter again after she spoke. She took the glass of water he handed to her and took a few sips. "How long have I been asleep?" she asked casually.

"More than a day," Joaquin replied.

Katherine paused upon hearing this. Her eyes widened and she woke up from her daze. "C-Come again?"

He curled his lips into a smile when he saw the disbelief on her face. "I didn't expect you to sleep so well. You've been sleeping since you came back yesterday evening. It seems like you're really tired."

She looked at the alarm clock next to the bed. It was already past eight o'clock. It was safe to say that she had really slept for more than one whole day.

Katherine didn't expect that she could sleep for so long. Her eyebrows twitched before she asked, "Where's Donald?"

When she came back yesterday, she wanted to ask Donald about his plans. Yet, her mind was so tired then that she decided to look for him after she woke up.
