“Hello, Dr. Torres,” Nicole greeted.

“Miss Lawrence, hello. You didn’t show up today. If you have taken the medication for the past three days, you should come to the hospital today. Otherwise, it poses threats to your body,” Kash expressed his concern.

He often saw patients who neglected their prescribed medication, only seeking medical help when complications, like bleeding, arose, endangering their health.

“I haven’t taken any of the medication,” Nicole replied.

“You haven’t? That’s good to hear. So, have you decided to keep the baby?” Kash asked.

“I’m still considering it. Thank you for caring,” Nicole replied.

“If you decide to keep the baby, please come in for a checkup. The child is innocent, and if it’s within your ability, I hope you’ll think it over and give the baby a chance,” Kash advised.

Nicole felt a stir of emotion from the doctor’s earnest words.

“I understand. Thank you, Dr. Torres,” she responded.

After ending the call, Nicole glanced at the medication lying on the table, pausing briefly before carefully storing it away in a drawer.

The following day, as Nicole was about to step out, she was confronted by a woman at her doorstep. The woman, exuding confidence, asked, “Are you Nicole?” She was a middle-aged woman.

“Yes, who are you?” Nicole asked, her brow furrowed.

“Me?” Hallie scoffed. “I’m Jarrod’s cousin, Doreen’s mother.”

Nicole quickly sensed that Hallie wasn’t here with good news. It was clear she had come with cruel intentions.

Before, Hallie had looked into Nicole’s address, but upon finding out that Nicole and Jarrod were living together, she didn’t dare come and stir up trouble.

Clearly, Jarrod was standing up for Nicole. She once thought their marriage was a facade, but it seemed they were genuinely together.

Hallie knew she had to suppress her anger for now. But as soon as she heard that Nicole had moved out, she wasted no time seeking her out. It appeared Jarrod and Nicole had a disagreement, and Hallie saw this as her chance for revenge.

“What do you want?” Nicole asked bluntly, not particularly friendly toward Hallie. She wasn’t one to cozy up to people, especially when it was clear that Hallie was here to stir up trouble.

“You’ve caused my daughter distress. What do you expect me to do?” Hallie said, her eyes blazing with fury.

In Hallie’s mind, Doreen’s promising future had been ruined by the assault case Nicole filed. Doreen had been detained for 30 days, and her psychological state was deeply affected upon release.

Doreen’s prison cellmates had threatened her. Doreen, who had lived a life of privilege, expected to command respect even behind bars.

Her superior attitude didn’t sit well with the other inmates. In fact, two of them had teamed up against her, pulling out a large chunk of her hair.

Outside, she was protected by bodyguards, but in jail, no one tolerated her arrogance. It was clear that not everyone in prison was a model citizen.

Yet despite this, Jarrod had decided to send Doreen overseas, refusing her the chance to return home.
