“What's happening, Nicole? Where are you? Are you in danger?"

Raegan's voice trembled with panic.

As Nicole's forehead collided with the steering wheel and blood started to trickle down, she became dazed. She thought about the possibility of dying today and realized she couldn't depart without uttering a few final words.

Struggling to breathe, Nicole said, “Raegan, please tell Austin... Tell him I love him. My love for him never ceased..."

Despite Nicole's severe animosity against Jarrod, her affection for their son, Austin, had always prevailed. He was the core of her existence, an essential part of her life.

Raegan, increasingly anxious, responded, "Nicole, don't frighten me. What's happening? Where are you? I'm on my way to find you!"

Unsure if there was enough time, Nicole pressed her hand against her bleeding forehead. Blood was seeping between her fingers, yet she attempted to start the car.

“Raegan, and one more thing. Could you relay a message to Roscoe for me?" Nicole said, bracing herself against the pain.

"Please, take your time. There's no rush. Just share with me... Where are you currently? I'm going to find you!" Raegan implored anxiously, attempting to soothe Nicole's distress.

"Tell Roscoe as long as he's alright, I'm happy. Even if he later reclaims the memory about me, please tell him not to harbor guilt..."

These were the sentiments Nicole wished to express to Roscoe. She understood him deeply. Should his memories resurface one day, he would loathe himself for his past deeds. For now, in his state of amnesia, everything Roscoe undertook was innocent.

Unaware of his past, Roscoe was spared the weight of responsibility and could simply adhere to Miguel's instructions without encountering any obstacles.

Nicole yearned to reclaim Austin and would inevitably confront the unstable Jarrod. If Roscoe remained uninvolved, her task would be significantly simpler. She was fearful that Roscoe would hold himself accountable for all that happened...

Just as Derek poised to collide with Nicole's car once more, Nicole's car finally ignited, causing her phone to dropped to the floor, abruptly terminating the call.

Nicole wasted no time, pressing forcefully on the accelerator and fleeing the scene. Her escape today would furnish Rhett with ample evidence, courtesy of Derek's reckless actions, to petition for a reassessment of Jarrod's test.

Meanwhile, Raegan frantically dialed Mitchel's number.

After two rings, Mitchel answered.

“Darling, you must assist... Nicole's in danger. Someone's out to harm her. It must be Jarrod... It simply must be him!" Raegan exclaimed, her words spilling forth in her distressed state.

Raegan harbored a firm belief that Jarrod was somehow implicated, that he was the villain orchestrating this perilous situation for Nicole.

“Keep composed, inhale deeply, and recount the events precisely."
