Chapter 25
Katherine returned to her room, took a comfortable warm bath, lay on the bed, and
checked the news with her phone.
When she saw an interesting article, Theodore called.
Katherine had no choice but to answer the call first with a somewhat casual tone. "Dr.
Muller, is something wrong with the experimental medicine again?"
The patient's condition had stabilized, and he would recover within three months with
proper care.
When Katherine left the institute, she mentioned to Theodore that if there was nothing
special, try not to contact her.
He then uttered in a helpless voice through the phone, "That's not the problem, but you
can say it is. Someone wants the D3 Reageant and has contacted me several times."
"It's not for sale," Katherine refused without thinking.
Theodore was not surprised but carefully added, "I know what you're thinking. These drugs
are special drugs that aren't suitable for large-scale production. If they're leaked, it will
cause serious damage to our research institute, but this time, the situation is a little
different. The ones who are requesting this medicine are from a special team in Cechirus.
They are devoted to defending the country, so I hope you can think about it carefully. "
Katherine was silent when she heard those words. Theodore seldom said good things
about people, so since he asked on behalf of them for the medicine, the other party must
have done a lot for the country.
"Sure, but you must arrange for someone you can trust to meet them. The D3 Reageant is
not the same as other experimental drugs. Once this drug gets leaked, it will bring us
havoc. It's not that I can't trust them, but you mustn't be careless." Katherine finally gave
in.
"I knew you were a righteous person, Kathy. By the way, the leader of the team has always
wanted to contact you. If you're interested, you can get in touch with him. He's a good
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtperson, and if he is willing to help us, we don't have to worry about the safety of our labs
anymore.”
Theodore was ecstatic, and his tone was much more cheerful now. He did not forget to
introduce someone to Katherine too.
Katherine was not willing to contact these people as she only trusted herself, so she just
hung up the phone after some casual chat.
Within ten seconds, however, the screen of the phone lit up, and it was a phone number
sent by Theodore.
Katherine glanced at it and did not bother to remember.
The Levisays' bed was pretty comfortable, so Katherine had a good night's sleep. She did
not even have nightmares, and she woke up refreshed the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Katherine felt something off.
There was a subtle scent in the air, and it was very light, yet it could not escape her nose.
Katherine kept alert in the room, but after getting up, she did not see anyone else.
Did someone enter her room while she was asleep? A woman at that?
Interesting.
After taking a shower, Katherine changed her clothes and went downstairs.
At this hour, the Levisays were having breakfast. Seeing Katherine coming down as if she
did not consider herself an outsider, John pulled a long face.
With a straight face, he finished the coffee in his hand and immediately got up to leave,
not even bothering to say hello to Katherine.
"Hmph, the Levisays surely brought up a good daughter!"
Seeing Katherine's shameless appearance, Elizabeth hit the crutches in her hand with
anger.
Katherine smiled gently and harmlessly at Elizabeth while replying in a polite and well-
behaved manner, "Thank you for your praise, Grandma. I just grew up in an ordinary
family."
Hera was choked by her words and wanted to say that it was not a compliment, but she
could not say anything to Katherine's face.
Hearing Katherine's words, Joaquin almost burst out loud laughing.
It was rare for someone to knock Elizabeth down, and it was also his first time witnessing
it.
Seeing that Katherine was still standing there with a lovable look, the corners of his mouth
curved upward.
"Alright, Kathy. Come and take a seat. Did you sleep well last night?"
Hera could not help but laugh silently. She dared not laugh out of fear that Elizabeth would
be infuriated.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, she quickly waved at Katherine so that she could sit
down and have breakfast with them.
Katherine sat down beside Hera obediently, and Joaquin happened to be seated on her
left.
"Good morning, Joaquin." After taking a seat, Katherine greeted him with shy eyes and a
whiny voice.
If he had not known Katherine's true face long ago, Joaquin would have been disgusted by
her.
Since he had seen many sides of her, he now found it interesting.
He responded with a curt "Morning" and ended the conversation.
Seeing that the two seemed to be close, Hera raised her brows and looked at Katherine
curiously.
Ever since the accident, Joaquin had been very eccentric. He would lose his temper at any
time and liked to ignore anyone who talked to him. His attitude toward Katherine was
interesting to watch.
"You're free today, aren't you, Kathy? Would you like to accompany Joaquin out for a walk?
He hasn't been out for several months since the car accident," Hera suggested while
looking at Katherine with a smile.
"Sure. Joaquin, where do you want to go? I'm not that familiar with Hovington though since
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI haven't been here for years." Katherine turned her head to look at Joaquin, beaming.
Though his tone was not polite, Joaquin replied without embarrassing her, "I don't want to
go out."
"But I do. Will you come with me?" Katherine rested her chin with one hand and looked at
Joaquin with her big eyes.
Joaquin stared at her and read her mind, so he suddenly chuckled, "Sure."
People who saw them could only see his doting gaze on her.
Even Hera was stunned and squinted her eyes suspiciously.
However, Katherine did not seem to notice the others' reactions.
After the two had breakfast, Hera arranged for a driver to take them out.
Inside the Stretch Lincoln Limousine, Katherine hummed a tune and scrolled the records
on her phone.
The laboratory in Fontan sent new experimental data. It seemed that there was something
wrong with the newly researched cell regeneration drug. The regeneration speed was way
faster than their expectations.
In addition to that, Theodore informed her that Alex was now completely awake. He even
got out of bed and walked around today. Theodore then invited Katherine to go to the
research institute to have a look and drop by to read the observation data.
Katherine rested her chin with one hand and looked at the chat log thoughtfully.
Joaquin looked at her quietly from the side. Ever since they got into the car, the woman
regarded him as air.
Joaquin now understood that it was just Katherine's excuse to accompany her for a walk.
Truth was, his purpose was to get out of Levisay Residence.
For Katherine, he was probably just a tool. Once she was done using him, his existence
would be dispensable.
Thinking of that, Joaquin could not help but laugh.
The laughter also alarmed Katherine, who was still deciding whether to go to the research
institute or not. She raised her head curiously and looked at Joaquin.
Was this guy out of his mind? Why was he giggling for no reason?
