?Chapter 1642:


    Vincent didn’t waste any time and asked, “What’s the status on the hospital arrangements?”


    Samuel paused momentarily. Realizing that Vincent’s call indicated there might be mistakes, he replied, “I’ve arranged for someone matching Miss Marshall’s description at the hospital, but I’ll double-check right away to confirm everything is secure.”


    Samuel knew perfectly well how critical the matter was and understood he couldn’t afford even the smallest mistake.


    Vincent reaching out personally and asking again meant only one thing—that something unexpected had happened.


    Lowering his voice seriously, Vincent warned, “Be extra cautious. It appears that the organization suspects she might still be alive.” Although he was worried, he had to tell Samuel to stay alert.


    Samuel immediately grasped what Vincent was implying. Having spent years working closely together, Samuel didn’t require detailed exnations to understand the gravity behind Vincent’s words.


    After carefully arranging everything, Vincent hung up and turned to Katelyn, softly telling her, “I’ve already spoken with Samuel, and he’s taking care of it.”


    Katelyn nodded silently, acknowledging his reassurance. Still, they both knew they had to be even more careful moving forward.


    She looked at Vincent and spoke in aposed voice. “From what I heard in that conversation, it’s clear that T believes I might be alive, but it’s still a suspicion. He doesn’t have any evidence to prove it.” If he had even a shred of proof, he wouldn’t sneak around in silence. He’d hit her hard and fast. That kind of aggressive move sounded exactly like something T would pull.


    Only then did Vincent piece it all together. Either way, caution wasn’t optional. There was no way he could let anything go wrong in his ns.

    Above all else, Katelyn’s safety mattered most.


    Meanwhile, Ashlyn was silently contemting.


    If Brendan hadn’t captured her, Katelyn might never have appeared in her life again. That would have made things much lessplicated. But now…


    Ashlyn felt a sudden pang of guilt hit her.


    After wrapping up with Vincent, Katelyn turned to Ashlyn with a concerned look. “Hey, Ashlyn, are you hungry? I can have someone bring you something if you want.”


    Ashlyn’s mind was elsewhere entirely. “Um, no thanks. I’m not hungry right now,” she mumbled, half-dazed.


    It was a simple response, but Katelyn picked up immediately that something was off with Ashlyn. She turned back to Vincent and asked, “Why don’t you go take a shower and get some rest?”


    Vincent caught her meaning instantly. He gave Katelyn a quick nod. “Sure, good idea.”


    He grabbed his coffee cup and headed to the bedroom, leaving the two women alone.


    As soon as Vincent left the room, Katelyn moved closer to Ashlyn. “Stop ming yourself,” she said quietly. “None of this is your fault. We can’t take responsibility for other people’s mistakes, you know?”
