Chapter 2588
Nicole was startled.
She recognized the voice instantly.
It belonged to Callie.
It had been days since Ethel mentioned that Callie’s family had secluded themselves at home, exhibiting no signs of activity.
And Brett had not made a single appearance.
It appeared their previous actions had put him on guard.
Brett had grown wary.
Nicole understood that fretting would serve no purpose.
If Brett remained elusive, they had no means to track him down.
Yet, Callie’s unexpected call sparked a renewed sense of hope within Nicole.
She inquired cautiously, “Is that you, Callie?”
“Yes, Nicole, it’s me.
”
Nicole probed, “What’s happening?”
Callie lapsed into silence once more.
Undeterred, Nicole questioned, “Do you require my assistance?”
After a pause, Callie responded, “No.
”
“Then…” Before Nicole could complete her thought, Callie interjected once more.
“Nicole, my… My dad intends to take me away.

Nicole was rendered speechless.
It appeared Brett was making arrangements to escape.
Brett couldn’t bear to abandon Callie, thus he resolved to take her along.
Nicole inquired, “May I have the opportunity to meet your father?”
Callie paused briefly before questioning, “Nicole, is everything you said true? Is my father truly implicated in your father’s demise?”
Rather than a direct response, Nicole remarked, “Callie, I also seek the truth.
Hence, I require your father to disclose it himself.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

In the subsequent silence from Callie, Nicole continued, “Do you have faith in me, Callie?”
Nicole added, “I assure you, I’ll only engage with your father.
His whereabouts will remain undisclosed.
Does that meet your approval?”
Following a moment of contemplation, Callie agreed.
“Very well, I shall disclose.
But you must come alone.
”
“Understood.
” Nicole tempered her excitement.
Upon her return to Rhett’s ward, Nicole informed Rhett of an urgent matter demanding her attention.
Rhett grinned and said, “Please proceed.
I’ll manage here.
”
Once Nicole departed, Rhett’s gaze assumed a profound, contemplative demeanor.
