    Katelyn’s voice rang out urgently, “He’s trying to take his own life!”


    Vincent reacted swiftly, grabbing the man’s jaw and twisting it with a quick turn of his wrist, dislocating it.


    With his jaw now dislocated, the man in ck couldn’t speak. He shot Katelyn a deadly re. He should have eliminated her during their initial encounter, which would have spared the princess from much danger and distress.


    Sensing his thoughts, Katelyn responded coldly, “Rx, we’re not here to harm Elora.”


    Surprise flickered in the man’s eyes as he looked at her incredulously.


    Meanwhile, Katelyn checked her watch. “We should head out. It’s still early, and we’ll pay the Earl a visit,” she suggested. Vincent nodded in agreement.


    Jaxen, having found some rope, tied the man’s wrists securely.


    Breck, who had been observing silently, looked on with wide eyes, full of shock and questions he dared not voice.


    Just as they were about to leave, a nurse approached them. She wore a hat and mask, with only her eyes visible. She moved aside to let them pass but caught Katelyn’s suspicious nce.


    They reached the elevator at the end of the hallway, and Vincent pressed the button.


    Katelyn, ncing back at Elora’s room, noticed the same nurse quickly exiting. She had been inside for less than two minutes. A wave of suspicion washed over Katelyn. Acting on instinct, she rushed back toward Elora’s room. Vincent and Jaxen, though confused, followed her.


    Katelyn’s attention was drawn to the IV drip attached to Elora’s hand. Her gut told her that the nurse wasn’t an ordinary medical professional.


    Lаt?st chαpt?rs in g?lnov?ls.?οm


    Ordinary people walk heel to toe, maintaining steady steps.


    Sometimes, it was possible to discern someone’s identity by the sound of their footsteps.


    However, this nurse moved with a toe-first approach, a tactic often used by professional assassins to minimize sound.


    Katelyn’s suspicions deepened when she detected a faint scent as they walked past. Subtle yet distinct, it was not the typical smell one would associate with a nurse. Additionally, the nurse appeared unusually rushed as she left.


    Jaxen, catching his breath by the door, noticed Katelyn’s intense expression and asked, “What’s got you looking so serious all of a sudden? Something wrong?” Vincent shared his concern, clearly noticing Katelyn’s shift in demeanor.


    It was obvious to both men that Katelyn had uncovered something significant. Rather than answer, Katelyn continued her search of the room, eventually focusing on the IV drip. Someone had gone to great lengths to infiltrate the hospital, and Elora had been specifically targeted.


    When Katelyn touched the IV tube, she felt a small puncture mark—an unmistakable sign of tampering. Her pulse quickened. She quickly detached the IV and said firmly, “The IV’s beenpromised. That nurse we saw is a suspect. We need to get Elora to the emergency room—now!”


    Jaxen quickly set the restrained man aside and rushed to call for medical assistance. After a brief exchange of nces, both Vincent and Katelyn sprinted toward the nurse’sst known direction.


    There was only one way out of the hallway—the rooftop. Driven by urgency, Katelyn pushed herself to move faster, determined to capture the perpetrator. She knew that whoever was trying to harm Elora might try to implicate her.


    Vincent matched her speed. Soon, they saw a glimpse of pink disappearing around the corner of a stairwell. Together, they ascended to the rooftop, where they found the nurse poised at the edge, her face concealed by a mask, leaving only her eyes visible.


    Vincent’s gaze was intense. “Who are you?” he demanded.


    The nurse remained silent but focused intently on Katelyn. “I didn’t think you would catch on so quickly.”


    Stepping closer, her heart racing, Katelyn asked, her voice trembling, “Are you Sophia?”
