Catherine had been aware of the mysterious visitor to Lance's bedroom but she was yet to figure out who it was. Though she had no idea about who had been visiting Lance, there was a lingering fear in her mind. Her gut feeling told her that something was not right. Since that visitor showed up, Lance, who had completely lost his zest for life previously, had started to fight for life.
