Her act was a tactical choice, given Janey’s well-being.


    Showing vulnerability and impulsiveness could lead the abductors to lower their guard, possibly exposing a weakness.


    But Henley had made it clear he wasn’t behind it.


    And Alexis appeared genuinely clueless.


    So, who had taken Janey away?


    Raegan listed suspects on paper, eliminating them one by one, until she paused on Katie’s name.


    Something clicked, and she immediately called Erick.


    “Erick, is Katie out yet?”


    Raegan hadn’t been updated on Katie’s situation.


    Herst memory was of Katie being taken into police custody.


    Erick replied, “Yes, she’s been released after a suicide attempt by cutting her wrists and is now receiving specialized care.

    Ever since Janey went missing, Erick had put everything aside to hunt for Janey, checking different ces without sess.


    He had also monitored Katie, learning from his sources that she was not permitted any visitors.


    Despite Erick’s revtion, Raegan still had a feeling that out of all these people, Katie seemed the most suspicious.


    After a brief pause, she instructed, “Erick, keep an eye on the Glyn family.


    I’m heading to the hospital to observe Katie.


    ”


    Erick warned, “You won’t be able to visit her at the hospital.


    She’s being closely watched.


    ”


    Even though there was no solid proof linking Katie to the crime, she was still a suspect, and the police had thus isted her in a hospital section.


    “I understand.


    I’ll just take a look,” Raegan replied as she began her mission.


    Unexpectedly, as Raegan kept watch outside Katie’s ward, she saw Luciana entering Katie’s ward.


    It turned out Katie had specifically requested to meet Luciana.


    Once inside, Luciana faced the weak and bedridden Katie, her voice cold as she asked, “What do you need?”


    “Luciana…” Katie still called Luciana in the same manner, which Luciana found especially annoying.


    Luciana forcefully presented a paternity document to Katie, her tone firm as she said, “Drop your act.


    Neither Mitchel nor I have anything to do with you anymore.


    ”


    Katie nced at the paternity document, her expression unchanged.


    At first, Katie couldn’te to terms with the fact that she was pregnant with Abel’s child.


    The news hit her like a shock.


    Yet, upon contemtion, Katie desired for the baby to be recognized as Mitchel’s despite the truth, a move she aimed to advance her progress in marrying Mitchel.


    With the syringe that could render Mitchel being sickly tormented by the difort, Katie aimed to force Mitchel to marry her.


    But to her surprise, Mitchel sacrificed himself to save Raegan amid the incident orchestrated by her and Alexis.


    From initial disbelief to eptance, Katie convinced herself it was all for the best.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    In her mind, with Mitchel gone, she could easily im the child as Mitchel’s, regardless of any counterims.


    However, Luciana’s ensuing actions were unforeseen by Katie, catching Katie off guard with the real paternity test.


    With a faint smile, Katie remarked, “Luciana, I’ve heard you were eager to meet your granddaughter, weren’t you?”


    Luciana’s expression shifted drastically.


    “What do you mean?”


    Luciana had only just been informed about Janey’s abduction.


    Upon hearing the news, she dispatched people to gather information immediately.


    Luciana grabbed Katie’s hospital attire, questioning, “It was you, wasn’t it? You’re the one who abducted my granddaughter, correct?”
