Diana was left speechless after hearing Jett’s words. “This kid from the Kingsley family really has a screw loose, she thought.

She never expected that the drug was actually meant for Alicia.

It was Nicole’s so-called cleverness-insisting on handling things herself-that ended up making her son unable to have children.

No wonder Alicia said the drug was targeted at women.

Nicole kept making excuses, but in the end, she was still the one calling the shots.

That just made her resent Nicole even more.

After a moment’s thought, she finally told the two of them about the aftereffects the drug had on her son.

“You two, contact the person who made this drug and get him to treat Nicolas,” she demanded.

“If you don’t, I promise you won’t get away with this.”

She warned, “And I don’t want a single word about Nicolas’s condition getting out from either of you.”

If it weren’t for needing them to track down the person who made the drug and get him to treat her son, she never would’ve breathed a word about the possibility of Nicolas losing his chance to have kids.

Jett looked genuinely shocked for a second, then just shook his head with a defeated sigh. “I’ve already tried reaching out, but I just can’t get through to him.”

He pulled out his phone and, right in front of Diana, dialed a number saved as “Miracle Doctor”.

But all he got was a busy signal.

The drug was originally meant for Alicia, but he really didn’t know if it would mess her up or have any side effects.

He did ask the guy who gave him the drug, and the guy said it was safe.

Still, he had a feeling that if Alicia really took it, something bad would probably happen.

Now, after hearing Diana, he realized that any woman who took it would be done for-no chance of ever being a mom.

‘Damn, that’s savage, he thought to himself.

He never would’ve guessed that if a guy took it, he’d end up sterile.

‘If that’s how it is, I gotta do whatever it takes to track that guy down, Jett thought.

Diana frowned. “Don’t you have any other way to reach him?”

Jett shook his head. “Nope, he doesn’t use WhatsApp or any other messaging apps.”

Diana turned to Nicole. “What about you?”

Nicole’s eyes were red as she replied, “I don’t have the miracle doctor’s contact info. Jett was always the one who put me in touch with him.”

Diana was clearly losing her patience, “You two better track that guy down, and fast. Otherwise, I can’t promise the Moore family won’t come after you.”

She shot Nicole and Jett a cold, icy glare. “If my son can’t be cured, whatever consequences he faces, you two will face them

as well.”

If her son really ended up sterile, she’d make sure Nicole and Jett paid the same price.

Otherwise, she’d never be able to let this go.

With her only son ending up like this, she wasn’t afraid to take on the Hammond family or the Kingsley family.

Nicole shrank back under Diana’s icy glare, stammering, “I-I’ll push Jett to find the miracle doctor, I promise.

Diana let out a cold snort, “You’d better make it happen.”

Since they couldn’t find the guy, Diana didn’t bother sticking around. She just left someone to keep an eye on Nicole and walked out.

Once everyone was gone, Nicole’s legs gave out and she instinctively tried to lean on Jett for support.

But Jett acted like he didn’t even notice her, just happened to step forward a few paces, leaving her hanging.

Nicole couldn’t steady herself, and her body just kept going-she ended up crashing straight to the floor.

Jett turned around, looking genuinely surprised. “Nicole, what happened? How did you fall?”

He reached out and helped her up. “Seriously, how do you even manage to trip just walking? Good thing I’m here.”

Nicole was itching to smack him, but she just put on her most pathetic face. “I just twisted my ankle, that’s all.”

Her eyes shimmered with tears as she gazed at him. “Jett, can you piggyback me home?”

She never thought that drug would have such crazy side effects.

Now she totally believed Jett was trying to drug Alicia,

She was kicking herself-if she’d known, she should’ve just let him go after Alicia and not gotten involved.

She couldn’t stand Alicia; if Alicia ended up sterile, Nicole would’ve thrown a party.

But now, she’d just screwed herself over big time,

The Moore family was dead serious about this.

If they couldn’t track down the miracle doctor, or if he couldn’t fix Nicolas, she’d be facing the Moore family’s wrath for

sure.

She had no clue if the Hammond family would actually protect her.

She needed to find herself a way out, just in case.

And that way out was Jett.

The Jett family was just as powerful as the Moore family, and Jett was their golden boy-the most pampered youngest son.

If Jett really had her back, and the Kingsley family teamed up with the Hammond family, even the Moore family wouldn’t dare mess with her.

Besides, if Nicolas couldn’t have kids after taking that drug, what was the point of marrying him?

What she really wanted was to give the Moore family an heir and become the Moore family’s matriarch.

She did have feelings for Nicolas, but the way he set her up during that livestream really hurt her.

After weighing her options, she decided she had no choice but to set her sights on a new target.

Jason still lingered in her thoughts, but that guy was way too dangerous-nothing ever got past him, and she didn’t dare make a move on him.

In the end, Jett was the only backup she had left.

Jett stared at himself in disbelief, then pointed at his own chest. “Do I look like I could actually carry you with this skinny frame?”

He added, “Want me to go inside and get someone to haul you in?”

Nicole was speechless.

I’m not even that heavy! What’s his excuse?

‘Seriously? He wants to get someone to carry me in like I’m some kind of luggage? That’s beyond humiliating,’ she fumed.

She was so pissed, but honestly, dealing with a dense, oblivious guy like Jett was just hopeless.

“Whatever, I’ll just walk by myself. If I go slow, I should be fine.”

Jett shot her a thumbs-up. “See, I knew you were the brave one.”

Nicole tried to walk leaning on him, but Jett let go of her hand before she could even get close.

Then he walked ahead, leaving her behind. “Nicole, I’ll go ask Marley for some spray for your ankle.”

Nicole was speechless.

‘If he’s really into me, shouldn’t he be all over me right now, trying to help and get close?

If I had any other choice, I wouldn’t even consider Jett, Nicole grumbled to herself.

He was just a pretty face with a powerful family. If he wasn’t rich and handsome, he’d be so dense no girl would ever go for him.

Nicole had no choice but to fake a limp as she made her way back to the courtyard.

She told Marley she was hurt and wouldn’t be able to join the next livestream.

Marley had already guessed Nicole wouldn’t be participating, so he didn’t even bat an eye.

But Nicole’s situation was different from Nicolas’s-Marley said she could withdraw, but she’d have to pay the penalty for breaking the contract.

Nicole just wanted to get out of this jinxed dump as fast as possible. She’d built up a nice little nest egg from her years with

the Hammonds, and with Lucent Media backing the crew, she had no choice but to cough up the penalty fee.

After thinking it over, Nicole went to look for Jett.

“Jett, I told Marley I’m quitting the rest of the show,” she said.

“You’re my friend, right? So, are you coming with me?”

She was convinced Jett would go with her.

On the way, she planned to make it clear she was open to the idea of him being her boyfriend.

That way, she figured Jett would have no choice but to stick by her side and protect her.

To her surprise, Jett just blinked and said, “Why would I leave with you? I haven’t quit the show yet.

“Nicole, come on, you gotta see things through to the end.”

He sighed again. “You’re the one bailing halfway, but now I’ve gotta finish this whole thing for you?”

He still hadn’t accomplished what he really came here for, so there was no way he was leaving now.

He was honestly relieved to finally send Nicole, his personal baggage, packing.

Nicole’s mouth twitched. ‘Geez, you really don’t have to go out of your way for me,’ she thought.

She said, “But I’m leaving. If you stay here, you’ll be all by yourself.”

Jett shrugged. “It’s fine. If I really have to, I can team up with Caleb.

“I don’t really like him, but for your sake, I can put up with it.”

Nicole was about to lose it. ‘Seriously, Jett, you really don’t have to go out of your way for me, she thought, feeling more exasperated than ever.

Jett didn’t even let her finish before calling Marley over.

He asked Marley to book Nicole a flight for today and made sure someone would drive her to the airport.

Then he looked at Nicole expectantly, waiting for her to praise him. “Nicole, see? I’m taking such good care of you. Everything’s all set!”

Nicole stared at his annoyingly good-looking face, and honestly, she just wanted to claw at it.

She gave him a smile that was all teeth and no warmth. “Wow, thanks a lot.”

After a moment of thought, she decided, “Actually, I’ll just stick around and wait for you to finish the livestream. We can head back together.”

Honestly, she was terrified the Moore family would target her for revenge the second she got home.

Her mom had already told her the Hammond brothers were fed up with her, so she couldn’t count on them to protect her.

As for her stepfather, she still had no clue where he stood.

Honestly, hanging around Jett felt way safer than going it alone.

But Jett just shook his head. “The conditions here aren’t great, and with your ankle sprained, it’s not exactly the best place to

recover.

“Besides, I’ve already talked to Marley. You should just head back today.

“It’s only a few more days of filming anyway. As soon as I’m done, I’ll come see you right away.”

Seeing how dead set he was on sending her home to recover, Nicole was seriously kicking herself for pretending to twist her ankle earlier.

She could only sigh and give in. “Alright, but promise you’ll come find me when you’re back.”

Jett nodded eagerly. “Of course! Who else would I wanna see but you?

“And don’t stress about Nicolas. I’ll try my best to get in touch with the miracle doctor.”

Nicole looked genuinely moved. “Jett, you really are the best.”

Honestly, when he wasn’t acting like a total blockhead, he could actually treat her pretty well.

Too bad he just wasn’t her type at all, but for the sake of her future, she figured she’d have to settle for him.
