Love Unbreakable

Chapter 432 Wait For Her Call

Raegan turned Kolton over, grabbed the mop bucket, and opened his mouth forcibly. Then, she poured the mop water into his mouth.

At this time, someone slammed the door, creating a loud bang.

"Raegan!" Stefan rushed in with a darkened expression, grabbed Raegan's shoulders, and looked at her face. He asked anxiously, "Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?"

Stefan had just heard from the woman that Raegan was in danger. So, he immediately asked the woman and the little boy to stay in his car and lock the doors. He had told them not to open the door, no matter what, until he came back. Then, he rushed over for Raegan.

When Raegan saw the anxiety on Stefan's face, she said awkwardly, "Stefan, don't worry. I'm fine."

It was only then that Stefan noticed that Raegan was holding a mop bucket in her hand.

Stefan was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, "Well... I'm glad to hear that."

At this moment, Kolton gasped and groaned awkwardly. "You... You are stepping on my hand..."

Stefan looked down and glanced Kolton. There was no trace of sympathy in him at all. His eyes were filled with fury. He reached out, held Raegan's hand, and said, "Let's go. Let the police deal with them."

"Okay," Raegan replied with a nod.

Raegan was about to put down the mop bucket when a woman's voice sounded from the door. "Oh, my poor boy!"

The lady who had just run out to look for the woman and the little boy came back to ask for her son's help because she couldn't open the car door. And she was shocked to see Kolton in such an awkward situation.

The lady wrongly blamed Raegan and Stefan for her sons' relatively consequences. She was so livid that she picked up the shovel she saw next to her and charged at them. "This is all your fault! How dare you hurt my sons in broad daylight! I will kill both of you!"

Stefan reacted quickly at this critical moment. He positioned himself protectively in front of Raegan.

But to his surprise, Raegan pushed him away. Then, she stepped forward and poured the bucket of dirty water on the lady.

The lady's eyes were instantly blurred by the mop water.

Before she could rush to Raegan and Stefan, she tripped and fell to the floor with a heavy thud.

Her grip on the shovel loosened. It fell and accidentally hit Kolton.

"Ah!" Kolton screamed in pain and passed out.

The lady fell on the floor so hard that she couldn't get up for a while.

Raegan looked down at them and commented, "You only deserve all this."

The police cars arrived outside, sirens blaring.

Raegan had already made a record and submitted the dashcam footage to the police as the evidence. Coupled with the woman's statement, the lady and Kolton were immediately taken by the police.

Raegan looked around and said to the woman, "This place is no longer safe for you to live. You should come with me."

The woman hesitated for a moment. Then, she said, "But Miss Lawrence doesn't allow us to go out."

Actually, Nicole had arranged a bodyguard for the woman and the little boy. It was just that the bodyguard took a leave today because of a stomachache. That was why the woman and the little boy were left in the house alone. They didn't expect that the danger would come at this moment.

Raegan noticed the little boy was silent all the time and seemed dazed. She couldn't help frowning and saying concernedly, "What happened today will have a negative impact on this boy. It's better for you to stay in the hotel tonight while I arrange the new place for you. Then, I will let Nicole call you. What do you think?"

When the little boy heard Nicole's name, he finally reacted. He looked up at Raegan and asked, "When will Nicole come to see me?"

"Austin! You..." the woman suddenly shouted. She didn't expect Austin to ask such a question.

Austin had never talked over the past month, let alone to speak with someone he had just met for the first time.

Raegan stared at Austin's face, having finally pinpointed the cause of her sense of familiarity upon seeing him. Though feeling sorry for him, she tried hard to hold back her tears and pretended to be calm. "Is your name Austin?"

Austin nodded gently.

Raegan smiled and patted his head. "I'll tell Nicole you want to see her, okay?"

Austin withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and fell silent again.

Raegan took Austin and the woman to the hotel.

Recalling Ardlens was Mitchel's territory, Raegan decided to spend the night in Ashfield. She intended to take them to a safer place tomorrow.

On their way to the hotel, Austin suddenly had a fever.

The woman panicked since she didn't bring the medicine with her. Besides, there was the last dosage left.

Raegan hurriedly took out the black duffel bag entrusted by Nicole and fed Austin with the medicine.

However, Austin's temperature didn't subside at all. Raegan began to worry, pondering the need to visit a hospital.

But the woman simply shook her head, saying, "Austin just needs some antipyretics. His immune system is weak, sa it won't do him any good to go to the hospital. He is more likely to get infected by some viruses there."

Finally, they arrived at the hotel.

Out of precaution, the woman took out a mask and a baseball cap to cover Austin's face.

Raegan had booked a family suite. And to keep a low profile, she asked the woman and Austin to get in the hotel room first.

Meanwhile, Stefan went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for Austin.

Austin still had a fever, but the woman firmly refused to send him to the hospital. She had seen Austin in this state more than once. She had once taken Austin to the hospital when she could no longer bear to see him suffering from fever. However, it only worsened his condition and almost got him killed.

Raegan stayed up with the woman until midnight to take care of Austin.

Finally, Austin's temperature dropped after taking a few more doses of the medicine.

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

Then, Raegan exited the room Austin rested in. Spotting Stefan sitting at the table and working on his laptop, she felt a little embarrassed. "Stefan, thanks for your help today."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Stefan smiled and replied, "Don't mention it. I'm not sleepy, anyway. Get some rest first. I'll drive you there tomorrow morning."

Actually, Raegan had asked Judd to find a safe place for Austin and the woman. Erick had many properties in the suburbs of Ardlens. Those places had tight and high-end security and were absolutely safer than that house in Ashfield. Raegan understood why Nicole was so cautious about Austin's safety. Jarrod was a madman. If he found out about Austin's existence, he might use Austin to threaten Nicole. After all, he had no sense of kinship.

Raegan felt sleepy after such an exhausting day. With more room suited for Stefan to rest, she hesitated to hit the sack despite her weariness.

Stefan seemed to read her mind. He took his coat, stood up, and said, "I've booked a room next door. Call me if you need anything."

Before he left, Stefan turned around and added, "By the way, I got some leads on the man we discussed before."

Stefan showed the photo to Raegan. "Is it him?"

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

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

That was the man who ambushed her five years ago.

Stefan explained, "This man hails from the Maxwell family. It's difficult to get him to Ardlens because he knows a lot of secrets about the Maxwell family. Once he disappears, the Maxwell family will definitely use every means to find him."

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

"The only way is to capture him in Aurora. I'll have some people lure him into my traps. Then, you can have a chance to interrogate him."

Raegan fell silent, pondering this idea. To Aurora?

While she was lost in thought, Stefan continued, "You don't need to think about it now. This person is valued by the Maxwell family, so he won't die easily. I will let you know after my people arrange everything."

Raegan nodded her head quietly. Her mind went blank. She didn't even realize that Stefan had already left.

Suddenly, Raegan remembered tonight's dinner appointment with Mitchel. She froze, not knowing what to do. It was early in the morning now. Their dinner schedule had totally slipped her mind due to the events transpired yesterday.

She didn't text Mitchel, nor did she know if he was looking for her. It was so late. He should be asleep by now.

Lying on the bed, Raegan kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, she could no longer resist it. She got up, walked to the hotel's landline phone on the desk, and dialed Mitchel's number. She told herself she would hang up if Mitchel picked up after three rings.

But to her surprise, Mitchel immediately answered. 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 she asked, "Have you been waiting for my call?"

"Yes. Where are you now?" Mitchel didn't deny it.

"I'm on a business trip out of town. My phone was broken, so I was not able to contact you until now."

"Are you with someone?" Mitchel suddenly asked.

Raegan's heart skipped a beat. She almost blurted it out when Nicole's words rang in her mind. She had promised Nicole to keep Austin's existence from Mitchel.

Raegan pursed her lips and replied, "Yes. Just some colleagues you are not familiar with."

Mitchel fell silence.

Thinking it was the poor signal, Raegan asked, "Mitchel, are you still there?"

"Yes." After the brief response, Mitchel didn't say anything more.

Raegan felt something amiss.

Unbeknownst to Raegan, Mitchel was sitting in the car and looking up at the dazzling neon lights of the hotel. He asked in a deep voice, Do you want me to go there to accompany you?"

Raegan got nervous and hastily said, "No, it's okay. I'm going back tomorrow, anyway."

Her reply was simple, but Mitchel felt like he was slapped by an invisible hand.
