Katherine pursed her lips and did not respond immediately.

However, Joaquin waited for a moment, but when he heard nothing but her shallow breathing, the curve of his lips gradually faded. He immediately sensed that something was amiss as if he had telepathy. Soon, his face became serious as he asked, "What's wrong, Kathy? Did something happen?"

Her nerves had been stretched taut all day, and the sound of his voice made her feel like a string had snapped, with exhaustion washing over her. She was not a quitter, and nothing could stand in her way. However, she felt exhausted in that man's presence for the first time. She wanted to rely on him and wanted him to be by her side. With these thoughts in mind, she bit her lip lightly and finally spoke up in response to his gentle and patient urging. "Joaquin, can you come to Kyoland?"

Even though her voice sounded the same as usual over the phone and the vast distance between them, he could hear a note of vulnerability in her words. "Okay," he responded without hesitation, giving her a sense of reassurance. "I'll pack up and head over there now." Then, he switched to hands-free mode and began packing while talking to her. "Kathy, what happened? Can you tell me in advance?"

Katherine fell silent momentarily before telling him, "Emmanuel sent someone to kidnap Noah."

Joaquin's movements abruptly halted when he heard that, his face turning as dark as iron. "Noah got kidnapped? What exactly happened?"

She rubbed her forehead and briefly explained, "Noah should be in the abandoned building in the northern suburbs of Kyoland. I'm going to go there."

He gritted his teeth upon hearing that. His expression was a mix of anger and worry. "You're going now? Maybe it's better to wait for me to get to Kyoland, and we can go together. Since Emmanuel wants to use Noah to threaten you, he won't dare to do anything to her."
