Then, Vicki's voice came: "Austin, do you want some mango? It's sweet and delicious..."

Austin acknowledged in the video.

Nicole's heart jumped into her throat as she watched. She gasped, "No, no!" Austin was allergic to mangoes. How could he possibly agree to eat them?

When Jarrod had taken Austin from Nicole, he had made sure that the doctors checked and provided him with a list of Austin's dietary restrictions, which the nanny had passed on to the staff at the Schultz residence.

How did Vicki come up with the idea of ​​giving Austin mangoes? This had to be intentional. Vicki wanted to hurt Austin.

Panic gripped Nicole, her back drenched in sweat and her body shaking uncontrollably. She stood up suddenly and ran, but in her until she tripped and fell. Pain shot through her head and her body ached from the impact.

Ignoring the pain, Nicole got up and ran again.

Upon reaching the ground floor, she hailed a taxi, driven by a desperate need to protect her son.

After getting into the taxi, Nicole nervously directed the driver to Jarrod's villa.

Located in the middle of the mountains and not in the city center, Jarrod's residence required more than two hours of taxi travel to reach.

However, the taxi stopped at the base of the mountain. The driver said: “Miss, we are not allowed to go up to this farm. Do you have any permission to continue? If not, unfortunately, I will have to go up on foot.”

Nicole shook her head, knowing that getting permission to go up was unlikely.

The driver continued: “In that case, I apologize, miss. Please get out of the car and walk up.”

Nicole agreed, paid the fare and got out of the vehicle.

As Nicole drove away, the driver's gaze lingered on her silhouette, wondering if she was another woman drawn to the callous charms of wealthy playboys.

Along the hillsides were several opulent estates belonging to esteemed families. In this enclave, a scion might have cruelly wounded the affections of a certain woman.

Climbing the hill required a minimum of forty minutes on foot.

When Nicole arrived at the first security checkpoint, strict protocols prohibited entry to outsiders. However, armed with the access code discreetly obtained from Jarrod's nanny, she advanced confidently.

This precaution was taken in case of emergency and allowed Nicole to get inside in case even divine intervention couldn't rescue Austin.

By entering the code, Nicole managed to get in.

The climb from the base of the mountain to its central part was considerable, aggravated by Nicole's fragile physical condition. The relentless midday sun intensified her fatigue, each step becoming more and more arduous and exhausting.

Not a soul traveled this route to the mansion. Even the butler had arranged for chauffeured transportation, sparing no one the necessity of traveling on foot.

Nicole continued on for more than forty minutes before reaching Jarrod's estate.

The mansion's entrance was firmly closed, prompting Nicole to approach and knock on its imposing door.
