I have, Nicole responded, though it wasnt entirely true. She had been eating because Jarrod insisted, and she forced herself to eat to remain strong and look for a way out.
Dont worry about Austin and Dora. Well figure it out together,
Roscoe reassured her.
Nicole was surprised, not expecting Roscoe to already know about the issues involving Austin and Dora.
Roscoe had his own sources within the Watts family. His fathers assistant once owed him a favor.

At that time, the assistants child had a rare and costly illness, and he couldnt afford to show his distress since he relied on his salary for medical bills. Roscoe offered to help when he overheard the assistant talking on the phone. Roscoe even suggested a traditional doctor for his childs condition.
Once the assistants child recovered, his perception of Roscoe significantly improved.
Among the youngsters of the Watts family, Roscoe was considered capable and serious, despite being an illegitimate child. The assistant treated Roscoe with respect, knowing Roscoe might lead the Watts family someday.
The assistant assumed he wouldnt suffer any loss if he had helped Roscoe and Roscoe didnt make it.
So, upon Roscoes return this time, much of the information Roscoe gathered came from the assistant.
Roscoe assured Nicole, looking into her eyes to clarify her confusion, Dont worry. I have my own allies within the Watts family. They wouldnt dare do anything to harm me.
Nicole noticed that Roscoes movements were somewhat clumsy, and his wrist was marked by a deep scar, a lingering reminder of the harsh punishment imposed by Roscoes father. It seemed Roscoe was less concerned about his legs, but his hands were crucial. They were meant to heal and save Lives.

Realizing he couldnt keep it from Nicole, Roscoe gently touched her head, reassuring her, Its okay. Its not as serious as you think. I can still hold you.
Roscoe embraced Nicole firmly, his voice soft. Nicole, it means a lot that youre concerned about me.
Encircled in his arms, Nicole felt his comforting warmth. To her, Roscoe was like a small sun, endlessly emanating warmth. But she felt like a burden to him.
Roscoe was such a skilled doctor who could have had a bright future even without the Watts familys influence. Even if the Lawrence family hadnt initially supported Roscoe, the Watts family would have recognized him eventually, ensuring his status as a young master with an inheritance well beyond ordinary reach. No matter the life he had encountered, it would not have been too challenging.
Yet, he had chosen the most difficult path. He decided to stay by her side, enduring numerous hardships.
Whenever Nicole wavered, Roscoe would immediately sense it, reassuring her, Nicole, you cant leave me behind. Ill always be your little puppy.
The term Little puppy came about while they were watching a TV show where young, loyal boyfriends were likened to loyal dogs.
