Eventually, Austin's temperature dropped after taking a few more doses of the medication.

Only then did Raegan breathe a sigh of relief. He urged the woman to rest first.

Then, Raegan left the room where Austin was resting. Seeing Stefan sitting at the table and working on his laptop, she felt a little embarrassed. “Stefan, thank you for your help today.”

Stefan smiled and replied, “Don't mention it. Anyway, I'm not sleepy.

Get some rest first. I'll take you tomorrow morning."

In reality, Raegan had asked Judd to find a safe place for Austin and the woman. Erick owned many properties in the suburbs of Ardlens. Those places had strict, high-level security and were absolutely safer than that house in Ashfield.

Raegan understood why Nicole was so cautious about Austin's safety.

Jarrod was crazy. If he found out about Austin, he could use him to threaten Nicole. After all, he had no sense of kinship.

Raegan felt sleepy after such a tiring day. With more adequate space for Stefan to rest, he hesitated to lie down despite his exhaustion.

Stefan seemed to read her thoughts. He grabbed his coat, stood up and said, “I have booked a room next door. Call me if you need anything.

Before leaving, Stefan turned around and added, "By the way, I have some clues about the man we talked about earlier."

Stefan showed the photo to Raegan. “Is that him?”

The man in the photo had a gloomy expression and malicious eyes.

Raegan immediately recognized the man and confirmed, "Yes, it's him."

It was the man who ambushed her five years ago.

Stefan explained: 'This man comes from the Maxwell family. It is difficult to take him to Ardlens because he knows many secrets of the Maxwell family. “Once he disappears, the Maxwell family will definitely use all means to find him.”

Raegan was stunned for a moment. Then he asked, "Is there no other way to catch him?"

«The only way is to capture it in Aurora. I will make some people fall into my traps. Then, you will have the opportunity to question him.

Raegan was silent, mulling over this idea. To Aurora?

As she was lost in thought, Stefan continued, “You don't need to think about it now. This person is appreciated by the Maxwell family, so he will not die easily. I'll let you know after my people organize everything.

Raegan nodded silently. His mind went blank. He didn't even realize that Stefan was already gone.

Suddenly, Raegan remembered tonight's dinner with Mitchel.

She stood paralyzed, not knowing what to do. It was early in the morning.

The dinner time had completely slipped his mind due to yesterday's events.

She hadn't sent any message to Mitchel, nor did she know if he was looking for her.

It was very late. He should be asleep by now.

Lying in bed, Raegan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he couldn't resist it anymore. He got up, went to the hotel's landline and dialed Mitchel's number. She told herself she would hang up if Mitchel picked up after three rings.

But, to his surprise, Mitchel answered immediately. It was as if he had been waiting for her call.

“Raegan?” Mitchel's deep voice sounded from the other end of the line.

Raegan was stunned before asking, “Were you waiting for my call?”

"Yeah. Where are you now?". Mitchel did not deny it.

«I'm on a business trip out of town. My phone broke, so I haven't been able to contact you until now.

"Are you with someone?" Mitchel asked suddenly.

Raegan's heart skipped a beat. He was about to let it go when Nicole's words echoed in his mind. He had promised Nicole to keep Austin's existence from Mitchel.

Raegan pursed her lips and replied, “Yes. Just some colleagues you're not familiar with.

Mitchel remained silent.
