Chapter 406 Bailout

Katherine slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was already dusk. She looked outside the window and wondered why she was there. A moment later, she realized she had returned from Lab 7.

Noticing her blank stare at himself, he smiled and pulled her into his embrace. "Well, why aren't you talking?"

Joaquin cocked his eyebrow, staring at her. "The first thing you care about right after you wake up is a man other than me. I'll get jealous, you know."

The man smiled and didn't tease her further since she was worried. "He's fine. He didn't puke any meds anymore, and he's looking better, too." Joaquin pulled her hair back and touched her cheek. "He's fine now. Get some sleep if you have to. David is keeping an eye on him, so don't worry."
