When Katelyn walked in, wearing a ghostly mask and a white robe, she immediately startled Samuel.
“Mr. A-A-Adams… quick, look at that! Why is that person wearing such a scary mask?” Samuel stuttered, clearly frightened.
Vincent glanced at him, his eyes then fixating on the slowly approaching Katelyn. Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel.net
“Excuse me, are you the amazing Dr. Hades?” he asked, frowning as he studied the woman closely.
A large mask in shades of green and black covered her face, and she wore a white robe with a hood that hid her hair. The robe reached down to her ankles. The loose clothing concealed her figure completely, making it hard to guess her age. Her eyes were a rich shade of brown.
Katelyn lowered her voice and greeted them politely, saying, “Hello, Mr. Adams. I’m Hades, a close friend of Katelyn’s.”
A look of surprise flashed in Vincent’s eyes as he asked, “You two are really friends?”
“Yes, we’re very close friends,” Katelyn replied casually. She lifted her wrist to check the time. “The Wheeler family will be here soon.”
“Katelyn has probably filled you in on the details, right?” Katelyn said.
“Mm, I’ll take care of it,” Vincent replied, his eyes on Hades. She seemed oddly familiar to him, as if they had known each other for a long time. But with her figure hidden by the robe, he couldn’t see her clearly, not even her posture as she walked. The only thing he could see was the color of her irises, which was nothing like Katelyn’s. Katelyn’s eyes were a unique shade of light hazel, while Hades’ were a deep brown.
Vincent thought for a moment and asked, “Why didn’t Katelyn come with you?”
“I didn’t call her; she might be caught up with something, but I’m sure she’ll be here soon,” Katelyn said, giving a half-hearted excuse.

As she turned, she caught Samuel’s curious look. Samuel’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he fixed his gaze on the mask.
“Dr. Hades, is this mask specially made? It’s amazing! But why do you wear such a spooky mask as a healer?” Samuel asked.
“It’s just my personal choice,” Katelyn answered, her face steady. After spending so much time with Vincent, the two were quite comfortable with each other. To keep him from seeing through her, she knew she had to say less and do more, staying as low-key as possible.
Katelyn had thought about revealing her true identity as Hades before, but there would likely be too much trouble coming her way. Anyone could fall ill. Who among the rich and powerful wouldn’t be concerned about their health?
Five years ago, someone had already searched for her on the dark web, offering a hefty sum. With her exceptional medical skills, she had become a target for many organizations. She had survived multiple assassination attempts.
After announcing her retirement from that world, Katelyn wouldn’t have shown up again if it weren’t for Carol. The fewer people who knew her secret, the safer she felt.
