Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Brent’s sudden appearance was rather strange.
She had brought her grandmother to Ardlens without informing anyone.
How on earth had Brent pinpointed the nursing house and her grandmother’s ward so precisely?
The question nagged at her, but there was no way Brent would answer her.
In the midst of her pondering, a young policeman approached her, asking, “Excuse me, are you
Raegan Hayes?”
Raegan gazed up at the police officer, and he continued, “Do you remember me? I used to work at the
Tenassie station. I’m Eric Happer.”
The mention of his name triggered a recollection. Raegan had spent years searching for the hit-and-run
suspect responsible for her father’s death.
Even after relocating to Ardlens, she returned annually to pursue the case, yet there had been no
progress.
Eric, who had been newly transferred to the Tenassie station, had met Raegan a year earlier. Raegan’s
father’s accident had been particularly tragic, and Raegan’s striking appearance had left an impression
on him.
Eric continued, “A few days ago, I heard from a former colleague that a recently captured fugitive
confessed to the police. The crime scene wasn’t far from the site of your father’s accident. The fugitive
mentioned seeing a suspicious vehicle. The details are still being investigated.”
Raegan was taken aback by the revelation. Even though she had rarely spoken about the incident in
recent years, it had never slipped her mind.
She immediately exchanged contact information with Eric, asking him to keep her informed of any
updates.
After taking care of everything, Raegan was about to return to the nursing house when Hector’s car
pulled up right in front of her.
Raegan stood by the roadside and expressed her heartfelt thanks.
“Don’t mention it,” Hector replied, his voice gentle and devoid of the cruelty she had witnessed when he
ruthlessly broke Brent’s wrist.
He seemed like a completely different person.
“Where are you headed? Let me give you a lift,” Hector offered..
“That’s very kind of you, but I don’t want to trouble you further.
I will hail a taxi.”
Hector glanced at her and casually said, “It’s not a big deal. Get in the car.”
His tone was easygoing, yet there was an undeniable charm in his voice.
Grateful for his earlier help, Raegan didn’t protest and obediently got into the car.
The moment she settled in, Hector handed her a handkerchief and motioned toward her right cheek.
Raegan examined herself through the car window and saw some bloodstains on her face. The
handkerchief had a faint scent of sandalwood and felt exceptionally soft.
