Katherine noticed Julia too—and didn’t like what she saw:
A woman Landon trusted.
A woman Caleb might eventually thank.
A woman who wasn’t part of Katherine’s plan.
So she planted the first seeds of doubt.
“Caleb, don’t you think it’s strange how much time that cleaning woman spends with your son? What if she hurts him? You could be sued. You don’t know her background.”
Fear took root.
Soon after, Caleb installed hidden cameras throughout the mansion.
What he found didn’t confirm his fears—
It shattered his assumptions.
The unused storage room had quietly become a full rehab studio. Mats. Bands. Therapy balls. Julia working with precision, correcting posture, stimulating muscles, doing what the “best” doctors had failed to do:
She gave Landon hope.
And progress.
And a future.
Then came the moment that finally broke Caleb—
He watched Landon stand.

Caleb summoned Julia to the library on Monday morning.
Mahogany shelves. Heavy silence.
“Tell me the truth,” he demanded. “What exactly have you been doing with my son?”
Julia could’ve lied. Instead, she lifted her chin.
