Over the past few days, Rachel had come to terms with the situation.
If she was destined to be entangled with Jonathan Quintero again, and if he was bound to find her, then when that day came, she might as well let him take his revenge to the fullest.
"But..." Rachel was about to say more when Lauren gently pulled her hand and said, "I know you're looking out for me, and I'm really grateful to have a friend like you. But… this is something I need to resolve with Jonathan Quintero on my own."
After a pause, Lauren continued, her voice steady. "Rachel, I have one request."
Lauren's expression was serious and earnest, making Rachel's heart skip a beat.
"I just hope that if… Jonathan Quintero really does find me, there might be a time when I can't visit my mom and Liam. During that time, I hope you can look after them a little. After all, they're old and young, and they can't do much for themselves," Lauren said.
