Chapter 379


    Just as Joaquin finished his sentence, he stopped the car at the entrance of LW Laboratory.


    At the same time, Katherine was startled by his question, but before she could start thinking, she saw


    Dn standing at the entrance, staring at their car with his eyes gleaming.


    When they were on the way to LW Laboratory, she had already texted Dn to inform him that she


    would be bringing Joaquin along. So, after Dn received the message, he dropped everything in a


    hurry and came out to wee them excitedly.


    Katherine put her thoughts aside for the time being and got out of the car after unbuckling her seatbelt.


    The moment Dn saw her, he ran over to her so excitedly as though he had seen his life savior.


    "Katherine! You finally came! I thought you were noting to theb this time!"


    When she saw how happy he was, she felt as though she was infected by his happiness. A smile


    yed on her lips, and she put those terrible things at the back of her mind for now. "Hi. I didn''t n to


    come, but something came up, so here I am."


    As she was talking, she noticed that Dn''s eyes were fixed on Joaquin. So, with her eyebrow


    quirking, she introduced Joaquin to him. "This is Joaquin Levisay. He''s also my… husband."


    She didn''t know why, but when she mentioned the word ''husband'' in this simple introduction, she


    fluttered and felt her heart pounding faster uncontrobly. It seemed like this strange reaction had


    urred more often recently. When she realized that, her face started flushing.


    So, she cleared her throat and wanted to continue talking as though nothing happened, but Dn was


    circling Joaquin like he was looking at a treasure. "Hi, Joaquin! Nice to meet you! I''ve heard a lot about


    you!"


    He suddenly shouted after staring at Joaquin for quite some time. Then, he reached out his arm,


    wanting to shake hands with Joaquin.


    At this moment, both Katherine and Joaquin were speechless.


    Feeling that this situation was hrious, Joaquin lifted his brows and reached out his arm to shake


    hands with Dn. Yet, Dn suddenly withdrew his arm and rubbed his palm a few times on his shirt


    before reaching it out again.


    Joaquin found this series of actions even funnier. As a smile tugged on his lips, he tried hard to hold his


    laugh. After he shook hands with Dn, he politely asked, "You are?"


    All this while, Dn was blinking so much as though he was a fan who had met his idol. "I''m Dn


    Longman!"


    Seeing this scene unfold from the side, Katherine was speechless. Why did he turn into a fool after


    meeting Joaquin? He''s usually normal.


    Meanwhile, Joaquin wasn''t offended at all, but he felt that Dn was quite funny. Then, he politely


    greeted Dn, "Hi, Dn. Nice to meet you."


    When Dn heard that, he happily smiled before he started prattling beside Joaquin. "I hope you''re not


    offended, Joaquin. I''m just too curious. When ourb researchers see you tomorrow, their reactions will


    surely be more enthusiastic than mine! After all, a man who can win Katherine''s heart is even rarer


    than a treasure. You probably don''t know this, but Katherine…"


    "Ahem, ahem!" Katherine couldn''t hear any more of it, so she pretended to cough to cut him off. At the


    same time, she secretly rolled her eyes at him as well. "It''ste already. Let''s go in." After saying that,


    she walked straight into theboratory, leaving the two men behind.


    After seeing that, Dn smiled and quickly showed Joaquin inside.


    As they were walking into theboratory, Joaquin casually asked, "Why are you still in theb thiste


    at night? Don''t you need to rest?"


    "Sigh, I''m researching a new reagent recently. Since I don''t have anything else to do, I started staying


    in theb recently. Katherine came just in time," replied Dn.


    Then, he couldn''t help but walk closer to him and mumble behind Katherine''s back, "How did you win


    Katherine''s heart, Joaquin? She''s famous for being chic and cool. I''ve never seen any men around her


    throughout all these years." At this point, he suddenly realized something wasn''t right, so he quickly


    added, "Except for me. I''m her right-hand man."


    While looking at Katherine''s beautiful and slim figure from the back, Joaquin put on a faint smile, and


    the corners of his eyes were lifted. Then, he calmly replied to Dn with four words, "Fate brought us


    together."


    At this moment, Dn was at a loss for words. Tsk, that makes me salty.


    LW Laboratory was huge, as it was separated into two sections, upper and lower ground. Other than


    laboratories, it was equipped with a lounge and private rooms. As the leader of LW Laboratory,


    Katherine''s private room was a luxury bedroom which was nothing less than a seven-star hotel''s


    president suite.


    After Dn put down Katherine and Joaquin''s luggage, he asked with a smile, "Do you guys need


    anything else?"


    Katherine shook her head upon consideration. "Nope. You should rest now. We''ll talk tomorrow."


    "Okay. Have a good rest, you two." After that, he left sensibly.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    At this moment, there were only two of them in the room. Katherine sat by the bed to sort out her


    thoughts and continued their conversation in the car just now. "You said that Jayden''s identity is still


    uncertain. What do you mean?" She felt that there was an insinuation in that remark.


    Meanwhile, Joaquin removed his jacket and went over to lie down on the bed. With his arms crossed


    behind his head, he looked at her. "Have you ever thought that he has another identity? He''s the son of


    the Hall Family and is managing Hall Enterprise, but the medical field is never a part of Hall


    Enterprise''s business area. If so, why must he chase after you and get his hands on your


    grandmother''s relic? What''s in it for him to get those ancient medicine secret tomes?"


    When she heard that, her beautiful brows drew together as she pondered. "So, you think that he has


    another secret identity that is in charge of another organization?"


    He calmly hummed in acknowledgment. "With the Hall Family''s power, they won''t be able to hire


    mercenaries. To tell you the truth, I''ve already asked Jeremy to look into it." As hey on his side, he


    propped his head with one hand and slowly told her the result of Jeremy''s investigation.


    "You actually did so many things secretly? Why didn''t you tell me before this?" She was surprised to


    hear what he said.


    With a smile, he held her hand with his other hand and massaged it in his palm. "I know that you see


    Jayden as a friend and won''t suspect him, so I didn''t want to tell you anything without solid proof. I


    wanted to tell you after finding out about his connection with Lab X and confirming his identity, but I


    didn''t expect him to lose his cool and pressure us so quickly. It seems like he has already suspected


    our motive of going to Zoscistan."


    As she frowned, she bit her lower lip. "I didn''t know that…"


    He knew what she wanted to say, so he cut her off in a gentle tone. "It''s not your fault. He''s the one


    with ill intentions, ruining his friendship with you. It''s his fault."


    After a moment of silence, she nodded, and her gaze changed as she returned to her usual calm and


    clear-headed self. "It''s out of my expectations that he''s actually associated with Lab X…"
