Chapter 230


    ''How are thingsing along on your side? Have you gotten a result yet?'' Katherine waited for a while


    after sending the text but seeing that Q never came online, she could only leave it for now.


    Meanwhile, inside Joaquin''s home at Soulin International, Keith turned theputer on groggily from


    having just awoken and immediately found a message from WW.


    He was wide awake at once, and with a kip-up, he sat cross-legged while grazing his fingers against


    his chin.


    There wasn''t much he could help out with in Hovington now. Joaquin would look after Katherine, so


    she''d be fine as well.


    Hence, he was better off returning to Kynd to work on his research. The sooner he got a result, the


    sooner he could answer WW.


    At that, he made an impromptu decision—he would rush back to Kynd and develop a cure as fast as


    he could. With that, he replied to WW''s message.


    ''Give me a little more time. I''ll get back to you as soon as I can. I promise.''


    Followingly, he packed up and headed to Katherine''s apartment.


    "Grandma, what happened? You don''t look too good," Keith asked with a frown as he found Jennifer


    looking awry the moment he entered.


    "Keith, it''s Noah. She has rpsed!" answered Jennifer apprehensively. The elder had been pacing


    back and forth mindlessly all evening.


    Keith, on the other hand, turned grim upon hearing her words. "Where''s Noah now, then? And


    Katherine and Joaquin?"


    "She''s been sent to the hospital. They''re with her too. Katherine called just now, saying Noah''s


    condition has stabled." Jennifer let out a murky breath with red-rimmed eyes, her heart aching for the


    little one. "Poor Noah. She''s just a child, but she has to suffer such torment. I''d rather be the one with


    the sickness than see her live days so gut-wrenchingly. My poor baby girl…"


    "Let''s not get too upset, Grandma," Keith consoled at once. "I''m sure we''ll figure a way out."


    Jennifer nodded, then noticed the suitcase he had left at the entryway. "Keith, you… you''re leaving?"


    she asked in surprise.


    "Yeah, I''m heading back to Kynd." Keith nodded after some thought. "I have something important at


    theb to deal with, but Noah…"


    "It''s fine. You go ahead. No need to worry about us. Katherine and Joaquin can deal with everything.


    They''ll surely tell you to leave, too, if they know about this."


    Touché… Knowing Kathy, she''d probably tell me to get the f*ck back to Kynd now.

    "In that case, I won''t add to Kathy and Joaquin''s troubles anymore. They''re with Noah, aren''t they? I''ll


    head back first and call you guys when Ind in Kynd."


    "Alright, safe journey." Jennifer saw him off with reluctance.


    …


    Meanwhile, in Hovington Hospital, Noah was still sound asleep when Joaquin had food delivered over.


    "Come, Kathy, eat a little something, or your body can''t take it," he cooed gently.


    Katherine looked at Noah''s face for a while before shifting to him. "No thanks. I don''t feel like eating."


    She shook her head.


    Joaquin couldn''t help frowning in response. "You still have to eat a little, no matter what. At least, a few


    bites." With that, he brought a spoonful of soup to her mouth, looking like he wanted to feed her.


    Katherine reflexively moved her head back as a result. Seeing that he had no intention of withdrawing


    his hand, she gave in at the end of the day, taking tiny bites after taking the container from him.


    Noah''s sickness isplicated, and her rpses are getting more and more frequent, with the


    intervals bing shorter. Who even knows how long more Noah can take this… As the thought


    crossed her mind, her gaze dimmed while she contemted, My options now are to either wait for Q to


    analyze the blood samples ande up with a cure or… find Noah''s birth father and find out the


    antecedents of the poison from him.


    Her gaze dimmed further as repulsion and annoyance surged within her at the thought of the man.


    If possible, she would want nothing to do with that man ever again. However, she couldn''t be willful


    given the current circumstances.


    When Q woulde up with a cure was still a question without an answer, and she couldn''t just sit and


    do nothing either. I wonder how Savannah is getting on with the investigation…


    "Would you like some more?" If Joaquin hadn''t asked, she probably wouldn''t have realized she had


    subconsciously finished an entire bowl of soup while pondering.


    She shook her head, then put the bowl down and stood up. "I''m going to head outside for a second."


    Joaquin didn''t stop her nor ask any questions but only watched her retreating figure as his gaze


    deepened.


    …


    Out in the corridor, Katherine was just about to call Savannah when thetter so coincidentally called


    her instead. "Boss, I''ve gotten a lead on Miss Noah''s birth father."


    Because of Noah''s sickness, Katherine still had to investigate the night five years ago, no matter how


    badly she wanted to forget about it. As such, she never actively sought answers, even though she had


    long asked Savannah to dig into the situation.


    This was the first time Savannah brought the topic up in all these years.


    "And?" Katherine asked coldly, her eyes narrowed with skepticism.


    "There seemed to be a record of peopleing in and out of the bar that day five years ago; it''s just


    that it''s dated. I asked the owner of the bar, but he said he didn''t own the ce five years ago. So, we''ll


    have to find the owner from five years ago if we want the record. It should be in his hands. I''ve looked


    into the boss and found that he''s still in Fontan; just that he''s unreachable now."


    Katherine turned grimly in response. "And the current boss? Did you look into him?"


    "I did. I can''t shake off the feeling that he isn''t being sincere. Then again, I can''t push him too far, lest


    we want him to destroy the record out of desperation."


    Katherine nodded thoughtfully but said nothing, and Savannah waited for a while before asking


    gingerly, "Boss, should I continue the investigation?"


    "Of course!" said Katherine icily. "Be stealthy about this, and don''t let them catch your tail. Wait for my


    call. We''ll talk after we meet up."


    "Yes, Boss!"


    Savannah let out a long sigh of relief after hanging up. Boss sure is scary. I swear I feel like I''m on a


    chopping block whenever I talk to Boss about the incident five years ago—Wait. What did Boss just


    say?! Wait for her call, and we''ll talk after we meet up?! Hold up. Is Bossing back to Fontan?!
