Chapter 194
She wanted him to prescribe some medicine or maybe make some healing incense for her stepfather.
That way, she could really win him over for good.
Since that miracle doctor was the one who gave Jett the potion, Nicole figured it had to be trustworthy.
Jett replied, “I told him I wanted to help the girl I like get what she wants, and he said I could use this potion on Alicia to make it happen.
“If I seal the deal with Alicia, Nicolas will finally stop chasing after her.”
He paused, then said, “Or maybe I should be the one to do it. You can just bring Nicolas along and catch me and Alicia together.
“I really can’t stand the thought of you having to do something like that.”
Nicole never imagined Jett had gone to the miracle doctor to get that potion all because of her.
But there was no way she wanted Jett hooking up with Alicia like that.
Her admirers had to keep themselves pure for her, both body and soul.
If Jett got some random thug to use that potion on Alicia, she wouldn’t care at all.
But if he did it himself, she’d never agree to it-no way she’d let Alicia get off easy like that.
Besides, she couldn’t be the one to suggest Jett do something like that-if she did, it would totally mess up the sweet, innocent image he had of her.
So she looked at Jett, her eyes full of gratitude, and said, “Jett, you’re really amazing.
“But I should probably take care of this myself.
“I’ve already asked so much from you-I really don’t want to get you involved any more.”
Jett gave her a resigned look, clearly powerless to refuse her. “Fine, you’re the boss. I’ll do as you say.”
Nicole’s tears vanished, replaced by a bright smile. “Thanks, Jett. You’re honestly the best.”
She reminded him, “And remember-this stays between us. Not a word to anyone, got it?”
Jett patted his chest and swore, “Relax, Nicole-cross my heart, only you, me, and the universe know about this. Not a soul will ever hear a word.”
Nicole could finally breathe easy.
Then Jett drove her back home to the Hammonds.
When Nicole got home, the first thing she did was head over to Caleb’s room and knock on his door-
But he wasn’t back yet, leaving her standing there in the hallway, a little disappointed
After a moment’s thought, Nicole hugged the childhood pillow she’d brought with her when she first came to the

Hammonds, then sat cross-legged in the living room and let the tears flow.
She planned to wait for her three brothers to get home-she needed them to cheer her up.
What Nicole didn’t realize was…
Caleb had already messaged Kevin and Austin, letting them know she’d probably be crying at home tonight and asking them to go comfort her.
When Kevin saw the message, he decided to work late at the office and let Austin deal with it.
Austin was already planning to go out for drinks with some friends, figuring this kind of emotional stuff was better left to Kevin.
Clearly, neither of them wanted to get dragged into the mess at fast, but they didn’t bother to coordinate with each other. Meanwhile, their father was still stuck in the hospital, and as the perfect wife, Mavis was right there by his side.
So Nicole ended up crying her eyes out for nothing-no one showed up to see her little performance.

Landon drove Alicia home, then took off.
Alicia went home, took a quick shower, changed into something comfortable, and then walked over to the house right across from hers to knock on the door.
Not long ago, Jason had bought the house across the street from her place to make her treatment more convenient.
He’d moved in just a few days earlier.
Time for his acupuncture session.
Jason quickly opened the door and ushered her inside.
She started the acupuncture treatment on him.
Alicía asked him, “Have you ever gone to see that miracle doctor-the one who cured Jett-to have him check you out?”
She’d never actually met the miracle doctor herself, but she’d definitely heard about him.
He was pretty well-known in their circle.
Besides Jett, he’d also treated and cured several other powerful figures in the scene.
But his whereabouts were always a mystery-people said it was all about fate and timing, and if you tried to hunt him down yourself, good luck ever finding him.
He also had a reputation for being pretty eccentric.
Even if you’d never crossed paths with him, if he just took a dislike to you…
He wouldn’t treat you no matter what you offered, and sometimes he’d even make things worse for you just for kicks.
Alicia totally got why, if that miracle doctor didn’t vibe with someone, he’d just refuse to treat them.

After all, she used to dread being stuck on hospital duty-she had her own quirks and preferences too.
But once you’re working in a hospital, you can’t just do whatever you want. Medical ethics say you have to treat everyone. even if you can’t stand them.
Now that she’s her own boss, though, she could pick and choose her patients however she liked.
If he just didn’t vibe with someone and refused to help them out, fine, whatever. But going out of his way to make their illness even worse?
That was just messed up, and she couldn’t get behind that at all.
