Chapter: 2621
Nicole, however, thought this was likely Alec's doing. Jarrod typically didn't bother with such details.
Alec was frustrated. After being outsmarted by Nicole twice, he was extra wary around her now.
Alec struggled to grasp Jarrod's conflicted feelings for Nicole, a blend of love and hatred, which he found difficult to understand.
These emotions were new to him. Anyway, Jarrod operated on a level beyond his understanding.
Days later, Leila seized an opportunity. She had previously given some home-cooked meals to the driver who took her back and forth.
The driver appreciated the home-cooked flavor, a refreshing change from the usual heavy city meals. His respect for Leila grew.
Leila prepared more dishes for the driver, which he enjoyed in the car, but he later suffered a stomach upset from some other fast food.
Leila invited the driver to her home for some medicine and rest.
Given that the drivers responsible for commuting nurses like Leila weren't as closely monitored as those for Jarrod, and considering Leila was old enough to be their mother, with her husband also at home, they accepted her invitation.
In a moment of opportunity, Leila excused herself to go grocery shopping and left the house.
This time, without a driver tailing her, Leila disguised herself with a hat and went back to the hospital. She spent some time asking around the men's ward until she finally found Roscoe's room.
Guards were stationed in front of Roscoe's room. She waited for a long time but couldn't find a chance to get inside.
Leila was determined. She wasn't ready to give up just yet.
Nicole had gone out of her way to secure a top-notch tutor for Leila's son, bypassing a lengthy waitlist that even money couldn't shorten.
Nicole's recommendation convinced the esteemed tutor to offer his tutoring services at no charge. It was an opportunity that money alone couldn't buy.
Thus, Leila felt a strong resolve to assist Nicole today. Unable to find a way in, she stepped outside, lost in thought under the second-floor windows.
At that moment, a child was playing with a remote-controlled plane nearby, sparking an idea in Leila. She walked up to the child and said, “Hey, could you use your plane to deliver something to that window for me?"
The child agreed without hesitation.
Leila placed a carefully written note into the plane, which the child then expertly flew up to the second-floor window.
The plane hovered at the windowsill, and the child knocked on the window three times with it, yet no one responded from inside.
