Nicole grappled with an incessant unease.
Regardless, she recognized this as life and couldn’t suppress her mncholy.
Observing her perturbed countenance, the doctor suggested, “Take these with you and deliberate beforemencing.
Once initiated, there’s no retreat.
Ensure your resolve is steadfast.
”
Nodding numbly, Nicole exited the hospital in a haze.
Outside, a gentle rainmenced, veiling her tears.
Nicole contemted, preferring enduring pain over fleeting difort.
Resolute, she aimed not to waver post-choice.
Experiencing the agony of losing a child once was enough.
Plus, she doubted her ability to protect this child.
It seemed preferable to shield the child from a world of suffering rather than subjecting it to prolonged pain.
Nicole purchased a bottle of water and prepared to ingest the pills.

At that moment, her phone chimed.
It was Rhett, the attorney who had previously assisted her in Austin’s custody battle.
“Miss Lawrence, I heard you’re seeking legal representation for a visitation rights case?” Rhett inquired forthrightly.
Nicole wasn’t surprised by his awareness.
Legal professionals maintained extensiveworks, and news of her case likely circted within their circles.
After all, Jarrod explicitly conveyed that her case was off-limits, openly disying his motives.
This was the reason numerouspanies had declined her.
“Yes, Mr.
Bates,” Nicole responded, though her expectations were low.
She wished to avoid burdening Rhett.
After the previous custody battle, Rhett’s firm underwent scrutiny, undoubtedly orchestrated by Jarrod.
Rhett had since relocated abroad, rendering him seemingly unable to assist from a distance.
“How is the search progressing?” Rhett inquired, his voice tinged with worry.
“I’m still searching, but thank you for asking,” Nicole replied.
“Miss Lawrence, if a suitable candidate hasn’t been found, would you consider allowing me to handle it?”
Nicole was taken aback.
She thought she had misheard and sought rification.
“What did you say, Mr.
Bates?”
“I’m currently back in the country.
Would you like me to take on your case?” Rhett exined, “I regret not winning your previous case.
However, for visitation rights, I am confident.
You remember the Morris Group divorce and custody case? I managed that, and the oue was highly favorable.
Custody battles are challenging, but visitation rights? I can assure you there will be no issue.
”
Nicole felt embarrassed.
“I wouldn’t want to impose, Mr.
Bates.
I still feel guilty about the problems you encountered previously because of me…”
“Please, Miss Lawrence.
The firm’s troubles were due to internal mistakes.
Your case had no bearing on them,” Rhett reassured her warmly.
Although Rhett rified the past incident, Nicole remained convinced of Jarrod’s involvement.
It seemed too coincidental otherwise.
Rhett’sw firm had undergone scrutiny shortly after epting her case.
Nicole hadn’t anticipated Rhett’s continued willingness to assist her.
ted, she desired his help, despite the potential inconvenience.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
After all, no other firm would handle her case.
Moreover, Nicole didn’t want to inconvenience Raegan again.
With Jarrod and Mitchel being close friends, repeatedly seeking Raegan’s help would ce Raegan in a difficult position, potentially straining their bond.
Introduced by Raegan, Rhett was deemed reliable.
