Tears filled Nicoles eyes. Raegan, this is Nicole.
Nicole, where are you now? Raegan didnt realize Nicole was calling because she had a new number. But when she heard Nicoles voice, she got excited.
Im in Ardlens now, Nicole replied.
Tell me exactly where you are. Im coming to you right now, Raegan responded eagerly.
Nicoles spirits lifted considerably. After all, she could rely on a trustworthy friend. For a moment, she yearned to share all her troubles and complaints with Raegan, just like in old times.
Just then, a childs voice chirped from the other end, Mommy Mommy
Raegan responded softly, Baby, go play with the nanny for a bit. Im talking to a dear friend right now. Ill join you soon, okay?
Oh the little one on the line babbled adorably, not yet fluent in speech.
Nicole realized that Raegan had two babies who were still breastfeeding. This must be one of them. She felt glad for her best friend, who was living a happy life.
Nicole bit back on her own grievances. Her troubles and misfortunes were hers to bear, and Raegan couldnt resolve them.
Jarrod was a cunning man who covered his tracks well, and he was a friend of Mitchels. Nicole didnt want to put Raegan in an awkward position. She said, Raegan, I still have some things to sort out. Lets catch up on old times later. Right now, I need your help.
Raegan sounded slightly disappointed but quickly recovered. What do you need?
I need to find a reliable testing laboratory. I want to have some medication tested.

Ill make sure my husband keeps it confidential, Raegan added. She understood the situation between Nicole and Jarrod. Since Mitchel was Jarrods friend, she had to stay away from Jarrod, as Nicole had requested.
Since marrying, Mitchel has scaled back his social life. He rarely attended gatherings unless necessary. Each evening, he carried home his unfinished office work, determined to be a great father. Hed tuck the twins in and share bedtime stories with Janey. After the children were asleep, hed go to his study and work until midnight.
Raegan often felt guilty seeing him so worn, but Mitchel would reassure her with a hug, saying he wa

s happy. No matter what he accomplished, they would always be happy with him.
On the phone, Nicole expressed her gratitude, Thank you, Raegan.
Dont mention it. When youre done with work, Ill introduce you to my kids. You havent met them yet, and Janey always asks about you.
Sure, I will.
After ending the call, Nicole felt a significant weight lift off her shoulders. There was no need for lengthy conversations. She and Raegan understood each other well.
Nicole had a pill to analyze its content. Just then, she slyly tucked it into her palm while Jarrod wasnt looking. If the analysis confirmed that the pills contents matched what was in Jarrods system, it would strengthen her case for Austins custody.
Jarrod said he offered her one final chance, but she wasnt going to give him one. If she stumbled, shed rise once more. She was determined not to give up without a fight!
Meanwhile, at Serenity Villas.
