"But this is too dangerous!" Chloe said. "What if sothing happened to her?"
...
Dahlia didn’t want to say she had a man following Kate closely, so she stayed silent instead.
Michael beca impatient and asked, "Just tell us where she is now. I will go by myself."
"I don’t know," Dahlia said.
"What do you an you don’t know, Madam? She ran away because you let her!"
"She told to drop her in the airport. So I don’t know where she went," Dahlia lied. She turned around, feeling awful after lying to these people who cared so much for Kate. "This is what she thinks is right. This is her choice, and I can’t do anything to stop her. I will stay in my son’s ward. Please don’t disturb us. I will deliver the news myself."
With that, Dahlia entered the ward, leaving Chloe, Mai, and Michael confused and worried. She sat right next to Henry’s bed.
He was still unconscious, but based on the doctor’s prediction, he should wake up anyti soon.
So she patiently waited, knowing that the first two people Henry searched for were Kate and Theo.

Henry frowned as he had a strange nightmare.
In his nightmare, Kate and Henry were in a train station, with Kate standing inside a train while Henry stood outside.
The door hadn’t closed yet, but Henry couldn’t move his love for so reason.
Standing next to Kate, Henry saw a boy who looked exactly like when he was only five years old, tightly holding his Mom’s hand. It was definitely Theo as he grew to be a cute five-year-old.
Henry heard the announcent that the train would depart soon, so he began to panic because he couldn’t lift his leg.
’W—Wait! Don’t leave here, Kitty, Theo!’ Henry said as he tried to move his legs.
Kate smiled sadly at him and asked, ’Honey, you are ant to stay here, not with us.’
Henry’s face paled, ’What do you an? Don’t say scary stuff like that. I saved you from Erin, so you should be fine, right?’
’Yes, I am fine, so does Theo,’ Kate said. ’But we still have to leave.’
’WHY?!’ Henry began to panic. ’No, don’t leave . I will do anything as long as we can be together!’
’Henry... Do you really love us?’
’I do! I love you and Theo! So please, don’t leave . You can’t do this to , Kate!’ Henry said desperately. ’We love each other, and we have a family together!’
...
There was a long pause until Kate’s tears began to drop.
’Even if we love each other, are we truly happy?’ Kate asked. ’This world is too dangerous for our love and even more so for our son. We are surrounded by people who want to kill us. We are constantly being targeted by many people who don’t want us to be together.’
’K—Katherine...’
’So maybe we shouldn’t be together,’ Kate said. ’You should continue with your life. You have a lot going on for yourself in the future. Find a woman who can love you better than I do, and forget about us. Don’t worry about Theo. I will make sure he knows how heroic his Dad is.’
’What the hell did you say just now? Find another woman? The only woman I have is YOU! You are my woman, my one and only!’ Henry insisted. ’Is this because I’m not good enough? Am I not strong enough to protect you?’
’You did your best, but you shouldn’t waste your life for a woman who’d only hinder your life,’ Kate said. ’My presence is hated by everyone, Henry. I bring nothing but misery for you.’
’My love is enough! I love you, and that’s the most important thing!’ Henry insisted. The train door started closing slowly, and Henry began to connect the dots. ’It’s them, right? Will you stay with if I get rid of all of them? Will you be my wife if I kill them all?’
Henry didn’t specifically ntion who the people included in ’them,’ but in his mind, anyone who dared to hurt Kate was part of ’them.’
’Then I will get rid of them all! I will be strong! I will clean all the ss I made, but promise you will return!’ Henry yelled as the train door was about to close completely.
’... I love you, Henry. Goodbye.’
Henry began yelling like a madman as the train door closed, ’Wait! Don’t leave ! At least answer first, Katherine!’
Henry scread Kate’s na at the top of his lungs as the train left the station. He beca even more desperate as he didn’t know where Kate would go.
’KATHERINEEEE!!!!’
Henry jolted, and he finally opened his eyes. That dream felt so real, and his heart was beating rapidly as the thought of Kate’s disappearance was enough to send him into a frenzy. He stared at the ceiling for a while until he glanced at his left.
He saw his mother, who was dozing off, and muttered, "Mom..."
"Ah—" Dahlia snapped out of her drowsiness. She saw Henry staring at her, and she was trying her best not to hug him imdiately. "Son, you’re finally awake. Thank God..."
"Mom, where is my wife and my baby?"
...
As expected, Henry would imdiately ask Kate and Theo, "Why are they not here? Did they get hurt?"
Dahlia sighed, "Calm down. You shouldn’t move too much. You just had an intensive surgery since you were stabbed in many vital parts. They are fine. They’re not hurt."
Henry was relieved. The most important thing was Kate and Theo’s safety, "Please tell them that I’m okay and I’ll recover soon. Erin is dead, so we can rest assured."
...
Before Dahlia delivered the bad news, she allowed the doctor to check on Henry first while forbidding Chloe, Mai, or Michael to enter. She was scared that Henry would be in too much shock that he would bleed out of his freshly stitched wounds.
