บท 152: oodbye, Katherine

Katherine felt like she'd been struck by lightning, her body trembling slightly.

She stood frozen in place, her long-standing goal to put Salvatore behind bars had suddenly vanished, leaving her feeling lost.

"Want to see him?" Ethan spoke up, "It's not his request, just a personal suggestion from me. The clues you're looking for are probably all there."

Katherine remained silent after hearing this, lost in thought.

It was like a tangled mess of yarn, impossible to sort out.

She pondered the significance of meeting her father and weighed the potential consequences.

This struggle and silence were her ways of self-protection when facing major decisions, as well as her fear and unease about the unknown future.

Ethan walked up to her and gently patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here for you. You've got nothing to fear, I'm pretty strong."

"Okay," Katherine nodded, then paused, looking surprised.
