Chapter 2601
The prime suspect appeared to be Jamie, considering the scarcity of women associated with Brett.
Brett had remained unmarried, dedicating his time to his daughter and elderly parents.
Despite Callie’s grandmother’s persistent efforts to persuade Brett otherwise, Brett steadfastly maintained that he had no desire to impose on anyone else.
It was confirmed that Brett hadn’t been romantically involved with any women, heightening the likelihood that the woman he had argued with was Jamie.
After Callie underwent additional examinations and was advised to rest, Ethel and Nicole exited the room in unison.
Outside, Nicole shared her theory.
She supposed Jamie acting alone wouldn’t have possessed the strength to fatally injure Brett and inflict multiple stab wounds.
Brett, a robust man towering at six feet tall, wasn’t easily subdued.
Conversely, Jamie had been physically frail, frequently fainting during her tenure working with Jemma.
Moreover, Jamie had recently attempted suicide by slitting her wrists, resulting in a substantial loss of blood, which made a swift recovery improbable.

Therefore, Jamie might have an accomplice, or she could not commit the crime single-handedly.
Stabbing someone over sixty times showcased a profoundly disturbed psyche, signifying that this individual posed a significant menace to society.
A true madman.
Ethel concurred with Nicole’s speculation.
Based on her interactions with Jamie during Jamie’s hospitalization, she couldn’t envision Jamie overpowering Brett.
Moreover, the absence of drugs in Brett’s system, as indicated by the autopsy report, eliminated the possibility of Brett being incapacitated.
Considering Jamie’s frail condition, Brett could have easily overpowered her several times over.
The primary goal now entailed locating Jamie and devising subsequent actions from that point.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, the challenge lay in discerning Jamie’s whereabouts.
Engrossed in her thoughts, Nicole exited the hospital, inadvertently colliding with someone.
To her surprise, it was Rhett.
“Miss Lawrence, what a coincidence”, Rhett greeted her with a faint smile.
Nicole was startled.
“Why are you…”
Interrupting herself mid-sentence, Nicole speculated that Rhett must be here for a medical appointment.
Recalling her neglect of Rhett since Austin’s abrupt illness, Nicole felt remorseful.
After all, Rhett had been assisting her, inadvertently exposing himself to infection.
Yet, for the sake of her own child, she had left him behind.
“I apologize, Mr.
Bates.
Austin’s condition deteriorated suddenly, and I’ve been attending to him incessantly.
I regret not finding the time to visit you,” Nicole expressed her remorse sincerely.
“It’s alright.
How is Austin now?” Rhett inquired, genuinely concerned.
Nicole felt heightened remorse.
She had neglected to inquire about Rhett’s well-being, yet he showed genuine concern for her child.
Rhett truly exemplified kindness.
“He’s vastly improved now.
And you, Mr.
Bates? You indicated the results would be available in two weeks.
Have they returned?” Nicole inquired eagerly, hoping for positive news.
She wished for Rhett’s well-being.
He deserved it.
“That’s reassuring.
I’ve confirmed I’m uninfected.
The prophylactic medication likely played a role,” Rhett remarked casually.
