A Replacement Bride

Chapter 26

"Mr. Levisay, since we're already out, you can tell the driver to drop me off in the city center in front if you have somewhere else to go." Katherine pondered for a while and decided to visit the research institute.

Alex was injected with a Type C experimental drug. If the clinical trial was successfully put into use, it would be a miracle in the medical world and brain-dead patients would have another chance at life.

However, this drug had many unknown side effects, and they were not certain of it yet. Alex was the first patient to use this drug, so the abundance of data was important to them.

"Oh? My dear fiancée, are you abandoning me once you're done using me? I'm sorry to tell you that it is easier to invite somebody than to send them away." Joaquin's thin lips curled into a charming arc, and under his gaze lurked a hidden danger.

"Why don't you take a nap in the car first, my dear fiancé?" Katherine had already prepared the silver needle between her fingers. If Joaquin dared to say no, she would immediately put him to sleep.

From the corner of Joaquin's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the silver light on her fingertips. Recalling how skillful she was with the silver needles, he smiled even wider. "What if I don't want to take a nap? Hmm?"

He purposely dragged his hum longer, making it sound sultry.

However, Katherine did not have time to appreciate it. She pounced on him all of a sudden and almost pierced into his acupoint.

As a result, before she succeeded in the sneak attack, her wrist was in Joaquin's grip. With a little force, Katherine felt a sharp pain in her wrist, so she loosened her grip, letting the silver needle fall to the ground.

Katherine's expression changed suddenly and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Was he that good in combat?

What happened to Cechirus? How did she meet so many strong opponents the moment she returned?

Back in Fontan, Katherine used to be able to walk triumphantly on the streets, but this was the second time she was knocked down.

She felt a huge blow and even wondered if she was not skilled enough as she was making mistakes over and over again.

"My dear fiancée, it's dangerous to play with needles." Joaquin glanced at the silver needle that fell in the car. After exerting a little more force, Katherine fell directly into his arms.

The faint fragrance on the woman's body was very pleasant; it was different from the cheap perfumes on other women's bodies. Her scent seemed to carry a light floral fragrance mixed with the fragrance of some medicinal herbs, which made people feel relaxed subconsciously.
