Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 619

Castle must have given the driver instructions, because after picking Noreen up from the airport, he drove her directly to Katy's special school.

When she saw Katy, she found her eyes were empty.

Noreen distinctly remembered that the last two times she had visited, there had been a clear light in Katy's eyes. Her mental state had been improving steadily.

But after just half a month, she had regressed to how she was right after Mrs. Joyner passed away.

The teacher also said that Katy's condition had been poor lately. She hadn't spoken to anyone in days. She no longer responded when called, often just staring into space for the entire day. In severe cases, she would even forget to go to the bathroom.

Castle had told Noreen about Katy's situation on WhatsApp a few days ago, which was why Noreen had decided to arrive in Glenhaven City a day early.

Noreen stayed with Katy for the entire day.

When school was over, Castle came to pick Katy up.

Noreen gently told Katy it was time to go home. The previously calm girl suddenly became agitated, gripping Noreen's hand tightly, her vacant eyes filled with terror.

"What's wrong? You don't want to go home?"

Katy didn't answer, but her grip on Noreen's arm tightened.

"Katy, let go first. You'll scratch her," Castle said, trying to coax her.

But she only held on tighter, her nails digging deep into Noreen's skin.

Noreen could clearly feel the sharp pain, but she didn't pull away. She hugged Katy close, soothing her softly. "It's okay, don't be afraid. If you don't want to go home, we won't go home for now."

Katy trembled in her arms. After a long moment, she let out a loud wail and burst into tears.

In the end, Noreen took Katy back to her hotel. Castle drove them there himself.

"She can stay with me for these three days. I'll take good care of her," Noreen told Castle.

"I'm sorry to trouble you," Castle said apologetically.

"It's no trouble. Katy is a very good girl."
