Nicole shook her head resolutely. "I can't be mistaken. He's been taking medication, evidenced by the large bottle. It's similar to what he used to take, and about two-thirds of it is gone, indicating he's been adhering to the treatment regimen. The absence of a medication reaction in his system suggests he may have tampered with it."

"If your assessment is accurate, I'll continue investigating. Regarding visitation rights, don't fret. Once you demonstrate emotional stability during your three doctor visits, I can reapply to the court. In the meantime, try not to dwell on it too much. Let's collaborate to regain your visitation rights promptly." Rhett remained professional and compassionate, refraining from chastising Nicole for her unverified claims.

Few lawyers would dare to take on Nicole's case, wary of offending powerful individuals who had risen from humble beginnings.

Considering their backgrounds, it was likely that these individuals had attained success through cutthroat means.

"Thank you, Rhett," Nicole expressed her gratitude, clutching the note in her hand. "I'll visit this organization to see if I can uncover anything."

Rhett harbored doubts about the efficacy of her visit but refrained from dampening Nicole's spirits.

Handing Nicole a business card, he remarked, "The individual in charge there is a former classmate of mine. You can inquire with him when you arrive."

"Thank you, Mr. Bates," Nicole said, acknowledging the advantage of having an insider to assist in gathering information.

Rhett was ever thorough and conscientious. Feeling slightly embarrassed, Nicole added, “I'll increase your payment later for your extra time."

“There's no need for that." Rhett then added, “We agreed on a fee, and I charge by the case, not by the hour."

Rhett reassured her further, "I owe a lot to Mr. Dixon from the Dixon Group, and his wife personally requested that I take your case. I've committed to seeing it through to the end. Miss Lawrence, if any issues arise later on, just communicate with me."

Nicole nodded and expressed her thanks once more.

After they parted ways, she took a taxi to the forensic agency listed on the address she received from Rhett.

The building was imposing and serious, covered with posters promoting whistLeblowing.

“Report any collusion or bias among doctors or assistants anonymously to receive a substantial reward," one poster read, highlighting the agency's independence from nepotistic influences and its credibility as a judicially appointed professional institution.

Nicole wondered how Jarrod had managed to pass their screenings. She met with Mr. Castillo, an acquaintance of Rhett, to understand thoroughly the testing process.

“Miss Lawrence, each of our procedures is quintuple-checked to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. If someone tampers with the initial tests, they can't fool the last three ones, which are anonymously rechecked by other facilities. Falsifying results here is next to impossible," Mr. Castillo stated.

This was precisely why the courts had validated Jarrod's test results.

It was true that the result would be determined after several rounds of inspection.

“Mr. Castillo, have there really been no issues over the years?"
