"That dude seems legit, but he vanished for three hours after passing through customs. No one knew
his whereabouts during that time. When he returned, his behavior had changed," Max explained.
"Even Hanwick's assistant felt something was off. It's like, he'd become a different person," Max
continued.
"So, Lawrence got someone to impersonate Hanwick just so he could administer fake meds on Nicole
to prevent her from regaining her memories?" Jared asked.
"Possibly," Max replied in a low voice.
Jared's eyes narrowed, his voice hoarse and stern. "Have someone check on Hanwick. See if he's
back to his old self. After all, he's here for a medical seminar. An imposter won't be able to keep the
charade for long."
"You mean after the imposter's done, they'll bring the real Hanwick back?" Max asked, a sudden
realization dawning upon him. "I'll get on with it. If he's back to his old self, we're on the right track."
As Max was about to leave, Jared instructed, "Also, further your research on Lawrence."
"Lawrence?" Max's eyes widened, having never suspected him.
"He's suspicious," Jared said, his voice cold. 'The more I think about Lawrence, the more doubts I have
about him. Years ago, he saved Nicole. Yet, she believed he might've been one of the few who knew
where she was when she disappeared. While many thought she was dead, those of us who remained
hopeful were searching for her. So, who else could've orchestrated an attack on her at the airport?'
"But the people around Lawrence don't look like those hitmen out there," Max argued, feeling genuinely
puzzled. 'Is he playing the hero or the villain? Are there two sides to him or something?'
"There are always forces and factors we're unaware of," Jared said. 'Lawrence has more to him than
meets the eye. He has his secrets.'
"True," Max said, knowing Jared had solid reasons for his suspicions.
"For now, let's not jump to conclusions," Jared said, a flicker of concern evident in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Johnston. I’ve got it handled," Max replied.
After Jared had given Max a small nod, Max left. Jared then strolled up to the window, and gazed out
into the night sky. When Nicole walked in, she remembered seeing Jared in the very same pose right
after her return.
"Something on your mind?" Nicole whispered, walking up to Jared's side.
After turning to face her, Jared said, "Hanwick might be an imposter."
"Mm-hmm," Nicole muttered, her expression somber.' Lawrence really did pull all the stops out.'
Then, Jared wrapped his arm around Nicole. "Let's take a moment to look at the night sky. The stars
are pretty tonight, n
Noticing Jared's attempt to cheer her up, Nicole smiled." Sure. Let's stargaze."
Jared kissed her forehead, his eyes filled with warmth, and proceeded to make her a promise in his
heart. Til keep her safe.'
The next day arrived, sunny and bright. After breakfast at the Johnston family manor, the couple
proceeded to bid Maximilian goodbye and drove off. They then dropped Nolan and Lana off atNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
preschool, after which Jared took Nicole to the headquarters of Riddle Corporation.
As Nicole approached the building, a familiar voice called out, "Nicole!"
When she turned, she spotted an excited Lulu running up to her with a small bag. "Got it!"
"So soon?" Nicole responded, surprised.
It was then that she realized it was the new medicine Martin had gotten her.
