Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 513

? ? ? ? ?

Mitchel felt somewhat reassured by these words. Maybe Raegan wasn't as indifferent as she seemed. Whether he was jealous was uncertain, but perhaps there was some underlying truth in his rebuttals.

Mitchel, looking at Jarrod's pale features, asked, "If you're so perceptive, why did things with Miss Lawrence go so wrong?"

"We are not equal." Jarrod sighed, his expression bitter. "The mistakes I have made cannot be fixed."

Mitchel and the others were unaware of the ins and outs of Jarrod's business conflicts with the Lawrence family and the plots intertwined with them. Jarrod preferred to keep these details to himself.

However, the news of Wesson's suicide shocked Jarrod's close friends.

They weren't sure if Jarrod was involved. If he was, it would be an inexcusable mistake.

Mitchel suggested: “Jarrod, if there is no settlement, you should step back. Let Miss Lawrence choose her path. Avoid more mistakes.

Jarrod raised an eyebrow. "If I suggested that you free Raegan, would you be able to do it?"

Mitchel's response was firm. "I wouldn't do it." The idea of ​​releasing Raegan, despite the agony it caused him, was inconceivable to him.

Jarrod's face hardened with resolve, his voice firm. "I'm wondering the same. Even at the cost of my life, I will not let her go.

Mitchel had no counterarguments left. The concept of giving in for love was a foreign idea to Jarrod.

Mitchel suspected she was just as strange to him.

In the cozy living room, Raegan looked at Nicole's ashen face, her tone full of concern. "Nicole, what really happened?"

Nicole calmly stated, "I was the one who inflicted the wound."

“Was it unintentional?” Raegan struggled to digest this revelation.

Nicole was known for her level-headedness, not actions spurred by animosity.

"It happened by mistake," Nicole clarified. A weight lifted from Raegan's heart, albeit slightly.

As Nicole's eyes watered, she added, "However, the instant I realized what I had done, part of me wished it was fatal."

Raegan, visibly surprised, grabbed Nicole's shoulders firmly.

"Nicole, no matter how much hate you have for her, those actions are not the answer."

Nicole wiped away her tears, smiling. «I won't screw up. I promise".

Nicole tried to calm Raegan's concerns. His darkest thoughts were his alone, not to burden Raegan.

Nicole was aware of Raegan's nature. If Raegan knew their plans, she would be so worried she wouldn't be able to sleep or eat.

Taking a deep breath, Raegan said, “Nicole, you're smart. "Don't be hard on yourself because of someone else's bad actions."

"I am aware." Nicole squeezed Raegan's hand firmly, her face serious.

«Raegan, I can't do much right now. Can you help me with something?

Raegan nodded.

Nicole peeked in to make sure the conversation didn't spill over and said in a low voice, "I've sent a box of medicine to your workshop, in your name. After three days, take the medication to the alley next to 120 Ashfield, look for a house marked by three red bricks, and give it to an old woman who lives there.

Raegan was confused, wondering why such medication had to be shrouded in mystery.

Raegan remembered that Nicole had lost her family. Before Wesson's sad disappearance, Nicole's relatives, drawn by selfish desires, had abandoned Nicole and her parents. Nicole had not mentioned any elderly women who were still in contact with her.

Nicole said, "Raegan, it's vital that you don't tell anyone about this, including Mitchel." Given the close bond between Mitchel and Jarrod, letting Mitchel find out about the plan would mean risking discovering Austin's hideout.

Despite her bewilderment, Raegan took Nicole's sincere request to heart. He quietly promised, “I will make sure it is fulfilled.”

Tears streamed down Nicole's face as the words barely came out, saying, “Raegan, I thank you. What you see there, I will tell you later.

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

«Be careful with followers when you go. Jarrod has me worried..»

Raegan assured Nicole, "Understood."

«The medicine has to be in the hands of that old woman in four days at most. "It is a medicine that saves lives."

Nicole put her trust in Raegan. With Mitchel's support, Raegan could evade Jarrod's wrath by remaining silent, in case she was caught.

But the fate of others might not be so lucky. Jarrod, driven by desperation, could resort to anything.

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

Nicole responded nonchalantly, "I'm aware."

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

Nicole gently refused: “Raegan, don't bother. "He won't let me go."

Raegan expressed her exasperation: "How can he keep you confined like this? Even without Mitchel's help, my brother could find you a lawyer to challenge him!

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

Understanding Jarrod's intractability, Raegan realized that worrying about him was futile.

Seeing Nicole accept her duty to look after Jarrod, Raegan had no choice but to agree, "Fine, but promise me you'll let me know if anything happens, okay?"

Nicole returned to Jarrod's room.

Upon entering, Nicole noticed that Jarrod looked bad but was still busy with his computer. She had not anticipated her commitment to work. Their investigation indicated that Jarrod had distanced himself from the day-to-day affairs of the company during the first three years after his departure.

Without a solid system and Alec's faithful supervision, the Schultz empire could have collapsed in three years.
