Chapter 2460
"I tried searching online too, but couldn't find anything," Nicole said, sounding disappointed. 'Will we ever get any
clues?'
"Do you think they might be from somewhere other than San Joto?" Maximillian pondered. 'We need to search
worldwide. I'm sure we can find these people.’
"After Nicole's incident, everyone believed she was dead. Why would anyone continue to pursue her? She was
attacked the moment she set foot in San Joto," Jared said, shaking his head. The pieces just were not fitting
together.

might've been spotted."
"I was living on a remote island with just regular fishermen. They had no idea who I was," Nicole replied. Why would
anyone there want to harm me?'
"You mean there weren't any outsiders on the island?" Maximillian asked, looking more puzzled as he felt the
situation getting weirder.
"I met Lawrence on the island, but after that..." Nicole's voice faded. Lawrence had filled in the blanks of her
memory. As far as she knew, only Lawrence was aware she had come to San Joto. Her face paled, her mind racing.
'Could it be Lawrence? But he saved me, even got hurt doing it.'
A shiver ran through her until a comforting hand took hers. Nicole squeezed it briefly, then gently released it. She
took a breath, giving Jared a shaky smile. "I'm alright, just got a little shaken up."
She thought, 'I can't doubt Lawrence now, not after everything. With all that went down at the hospital, I'm just a bit
frazzled. That's all.'
’Lawrence doesn't want her to remember,' Jared thought.' The investigation's still ongoing. Jumping to conclusions
won't help. I'll wait for Max's report.'
Gently squeezing Nicole's hand, he suggested, "How about we grab a bite?"
Jared could sense the storm of emotions raging within Nicole. Yet, she recovered quickly.
'Considering Lawrence once saved her, it makes sense she'd trust him,' he thought. But his skepticism grew.'
Lawrence? I'm determined to uncover the truth. Whether he's involved or not, I'll find out who's responsible.'
Judging by their expressions, Maximillian had a good idea of what was happening. He paused briefly, and then

After dinner, Maximillian, Nolan, and Lana played together, filling the living room with cheerful laughter. Nicole and
Jared, seated on the couch, smiled, touched by the heartwarming scene.
The front door opened, revealing Max. Jared caught his eye and then headed upstairs. Taking the hint, Max quickly
followed. In the study, Max said, "I found some stuff." He handed Jared a file and waited.
Jared flipped through the file, his face showing a mix of surprise and suspicion when he saw a particular name."
Hanwick Ferguson?"
"That's the doctor Lawrence talked to. The papers seem legit, but we think this Hanwick Ferguson might be fake,"
Max said, his expression serious. "We've also found some people who might know about him."
With a stern voice, Jared said, "Go on." He thought to himself, 'If this doctor isn't real, then he's definitely with
Lawrence.'
