Chapter 744

His act was a tactical choice, given Janey's well-being. Showing vulnerability and impulsiveness could lead kidnappers to let their guard down, possibly exposing a weakness.

But Henley had made it clear that he was not behind this. And Alexis seemed really clueless. So who had taken Janey?

Raegan made a list of suspects on a piece of paper, eliminating them one by one, until she settled on Katie's name.

Something clicked and he immediately called Erick. “Erick, is Katie out yet?”

Raegan was unaware of Katie's situation. The last thing he remembered was Katie in police custody.

Erick responded: "Yes, she has been discharged after a suicide attempt by cutting her wrists and is now receiving specialized care."

Since Janey disappeared, Erick had put everything aside to look for her, checking different places without success. He had also kept an eye on Katie, learning from his sources that she was not allowed visitors.

Despite Erick's revelation, Raegan still had the feeling that, of all these people, Katie was the one who seemed the most suspicious. After a brief pause, he ordered, “Erick, keep an eye on the Glyn family. "I'm heading to the hospital to watch Katie."

Erick warned: «You won't be able to visit her in the hospital. "They are watching her closely."

Although there was no solid evidence linking Katie to the crime, she remained a suspect, so the police had isolated her in a section of the hospital.

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

Unexpectedly, while Raegan was keeping watch outside Katie's living room, she saw Luciana entering Katie's living room. It turned out that Katie had expressly asked to meet with Luciana.

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

“Luciana…” Katie kept calling Luciana the same thing, which Luciana found especially annoying.

Luciana forcefully presented a paternity document to Katie, her tone firm as she said, “Stop acting. Neither Mitchel nor I have anything to do with you anymore.

Katie looked at the paternity document; his expression did not change.

At first, Katie couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was pregnant with Abel. The news hit her like a shock.

However, contemplating it, Katie wanted the baby to be recognized as Mitchel's despite the truth, a move she intended to further her progress toward marriage to Mitchel. With the syringe that could turn Mitchel into a sick man tormented by discomfort, Katie intended to force Mitchel to marry her. But to their surprise, Mitchel sacrificed herself to save Raegan in the middle of the incident orchestrated by her and Alexis.

From initial disbelief to acceptance, Katie was convinced that everything was for the best. In her mind, without Mitchel, she could easily claim the child as Mitchel's, regardless of any counterclaims.

However, Luciana's actions were not anticipated by Katie and surprised her with the actual paternity test.

With a slight smile, Katie commented, "Luciana, I heard you were eager to meet your granddaughter, right?"

Luciana's expression changed drastically. "What do you mean?"

Luciana had just been informed of Janey's kidnapping. Upon hearing the news, he immediately sent people to gather information.

Luciana grabbed Katie's hospital outfit and asked, “It was you, right? You were the one who kidnapped my granddaughter, right?
