[Flashback – The Day Hugo Was Hospitalized]
Hugo returned to his study after confronting Roseline, his expression dark and unreadable.
Just as he had expected, she had lied. 'Again.'
The excuse she had used that day, the reason she had given about Kathrine, turned out to be completely false.
He had been summoned home in urgency, told that Kathrine was suffering from another severe panic attack. The moment he heard it, he had rushed back without a second thought, his heart pounding with fear for his daughter.
But when he arrived, the house had been quiet.
Too quiet.
Kathrine had been in her room, fast asleep, her breathing steady, her face calm as if nothing had ever happened.
There had been no panic attack.
No distress.
Nothing.
