Chapter 417 No More Meeting With Watts

Raegan gave a nod, signaling her agreement.

in a low voice, "I've mailed a box of medication to ye to the alley beside 120 Nicole peeked around, ensuring their conversation remained private, and said workshop, under your name After three days, head the medication over Ashfield, find a house marked by three red bricks, and give it to an old lady living there."

Raegan felt confused, pondering why such medication had to be shrouded in mystery.

Raegan recalled Nicole had lost her family. Before the sorrowful demise of Wesson, Nicole's kin, lured by selfish desires, had abandoned Nicole and her parents. Nicole hadn't mentioned any old woman who was still in touch with her.

Nicole said, "Raegan, it's vital that you tell no one about this, Mitchel included." Considering Mitchel and Jarrod's tight bond, letting Mitchel in on the plan would risk exposing Austin's hideout.

Despite her bewilderment, Raegan took Nicole's earnest request to heart. She promised softly, "I'll make sure it's delivered."

Tears streamed down Nicole's face as she barely got the words out, saying, "Raegan, I'm grateful. Whatever you see there, I'll fill you in later."

"Let's leave gratitude out of this," Raegan said.

"Be cautious of followers when you go. Jarrod's got me worried..."

Raegan assured Nicole, "Understood."

"The medicine has to be in that old woman's hands within four days at most. It's a life-saving medicine."

Nicole placed her trust in Raegan. With Mitchel's support, Raegan could evade Jarrod's wrath by keeping silent, should she get caught. But the fate of others might not be so fortunate. Jarrod, driven by despair, could resort to anything.

Their quiet exchange was interrupted when the butler approached Nicole and said, "Miss Lawrence, it's time for Mr. Schultz's medication."

Nicole replied indifferently. "I'm aware."

Sensing Nicole's distress, Raegan patted her hand and said, "I'll see if Mitchel can help you get you out of here sooner."

Nicole gently refused, "Raegan, don't trouble yourself. He won't release me."

"Raegan, it's not as simple as that. I was the one who caused him harm. It's only fair I look after Nicole said, sparing Raegan the details of Jarrod's more possessive tendencies.

Understanding Jarrod's intractability, Raegan realized fretting over it was futile.

Witnessing Nicole's acceptance of her duty to tend to Jarrod left Raegan no choice but to agree, "Fine, but promise me you'll inform me if anything happens, okay?"
