Chapter 1530:

    Jake’s brow furrowed slightly, an uneasy feeling creeping in. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, the resemnce between Caitlin and Kallie was undeniable. But in the end, it didn’t matter—Caitlin wasn’t Kallie. And unlike Kallie, Caitlin was blind to yton’s maniptions. No wonder Kallie had been so devastated over all of this.

    Pushing these thoughts aside, Jake turned on his heel and made his way back to the ward.

    Kallie had just woken up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

    Kallie and Jake had agreed to take turns watching over Sophie at night. Now, as Kallie yawned, she instinctively reached for Jake, wrapping her arms around him.

    “Where did you go?” she murmured sleepily. “Get some rest, I’ll take over from here.”

    Jake hesitated. A part of him wanted to tell her what he had just seen—Caitlin back in yton’s embrace—but he knew it would only upset her. He decided not to say anything.

    “Nothing,” Jake said finally. “Just went for a walk. I was feeling a little restless. Don’t push yourself too hard. If anything happens, call me or the nurse.”

    Kallie gave a small nod, epting his words without suspicion. But just as she started toward Sophie’s room, something made her pause. A thought flickered through her mind, and she turned back to Jake, her eyes searching his face. “Did you run into Caitlin or yton while you were out? They should be in the next room. If you see them, just stay away. Caitlin’s lost herself in yton’s lies.”

    There was an edge to Kallie’s voice, a lingering sadness beneath her usualposure.

    Jake met her gaze, keeping his expression neutral. “They were probably asleep. I didn’t see them.”

    Kallie studied him for a moment before nodding quietly. She was about to settle into the chair beside Sophie’s bed when her phone vibrated.

    A message from Caitlin. Short. Simple. But heavy with meaning. “Kallie, I know you’re not happy about me being with yton, but can you stop interfering? Whatever happened, it’s on me. What do you even gain from trying to tear us apart?”

    Kallie stared at the message, disbelief flickering in her eyes. A sharp, humorless breath escaped her lips.

    With a measured inhale, Kallie forced herself to stayposed. Her fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before making a decisive move—deleting Caitlin’s contact. She had previously held onto it, convinced there mighte a time when Caitlin would need her. But now, that seemed foolish.

    Caitlin had chosen her path, blind to the consequences. And if Kallie so much as breathed a word, she knew exactly how Caitlin would twist it—turning it into some absurd im that Kallie harbored feelings for yton.

    A soft rustling from the bed pulled Kallie from her thoughts. Sophie stirred, her eyshes fluttering as she slowly woke.

    The moment Sophie’s drowsy gazended on Kallie’s furrowed brows, she reached out instinctively, her small fingers brushing against her mother’s face. “Mom, don’t…”
