Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 562

When I dropped Fidelia off, she got out of the car blocks away from her place, waving goodbye with a lingering sadness. I signaled for her to hurry home.

I watched as she looked back at us every few steps, even turning for one last glance before rounding the corner. Only then did I nod to Hannah to drive away.

In the car, Hannah said, "Allie, her words are very informative. It looks like Jesper's really stirring the pot."

I felt a heavy sigh escape me and chuckled in self-deprecation, "Seems I've got it in for the Dawson family. It's like a feud spanning lifetimes, relentlessly following me into this one, each blow cutting deep."

Hannah laughed along, "It is buying a lifetime's worth of deep-seated grudges. So, what's our play now? Head back to Silverdale City?"

"Let's decide once we're home."

"Ronan said to leave those two items be for now, but he's clued in Galen and everyone at Wood Manor. Looks like Fidelia wasn't lying," Hannah relayed Ronan's message.

I fretted, "Now I'm worried about what they might have heard. If Fidelia keeps mum, we're screwed. That was a close shave. Thank goodness we caught up with Fidelia."

"Allie, you are so kind." Hannah smiled, "It's like divine intervention. Jesper's plans are doomed to fail."

"It seems he's in cahoots with Mason Wood."

We sped back to Serene Garden Homes. Everyone was there. As I walked in, Hannah made a beeline for Logan, "Two things! This phone number needs to be traced as much as possible. It belongs to someone Camilla trusts to get stuff done, a key player for sure."

Hannah jotted down the number on a piece of paper and handed it to Logan. It was the number Fidelia had mentioned earlier.

"And the second thing,"

"Stop!" Logan interjected, "At least let me in on the full story, will you? What’s the rush?"

We both laughed and recounted the recent events in detail, not leaving anything out.

Then, I addressed Logan directly, "I need you to look into that new pharmaceutical company Camilla mentioned. She lied about delivering meds, but according to Fidelia, that's not the case. I have a hunch Camilla knows their operation well."

Ronan added, "We really overlooked Camilla. Fidelia mentioned surgery, and that's intriguing."
