A Replacement Bride

Chapter 407

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.

"You're awake," someone said. "Are you thirsty? Do you need any water?" the husky voice asked.

She paused for a moment and turned around in surprise. Joaquin was lying on his side, resting his cheek in his hand as he stared at her.

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

Katherine didn't refuse his hug and rested on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Slowly, the fog in her mind lifted. "I'm not thirsty," she said, her voice a little hoarse. "How's Corey?"

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."

He's teasing me. Katherine rolled her eyes. "Just answer me."

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."

"Okay." Finally, she could relax. Instead of getting out of bed, she leaned into his embrace.
