Chapter 170
Alexander sighed and noticed the bright lights of a twenty–four hour pharmacy up ahead. Was Olivia that unwell that she needed medicine? His pulse quickened at that thought. Then, he took out his phone in order to make arrangements.
*Olivia*
Because I was so creeped out, I ended up not stopping at the pharmacy. When I parked near my apartment building, I ran to the front door, but my heart dropped when I saw a dark figure waiting there. I opened my mouth to scream, but froze when I saw that the man was Richard.
“What are you doing here so late?” I asked and clutched my heart from the scare.
“A little birdie told me that you might need some medicine,” he said. He smiled kindly and gestured to the large cardboard box he was holding. “And I have Mike’s Medicine right here.”
How did he figure out that I was sick…but my thought process was interrupted by a painful jerk in my stomach. At the end of the day, it didn’t matter how he knew.
“Huh, I appreciate it, but I’m sorry you had to come all the way here at two in the morning,” I said.
“It’s my pleasure.” He followed me into the building, and we rode the elevator up my floor. “Why are you out so late?”
“I couldn’t sleep,” I explained. “Upset stomach. I wanted to buy some medicine to help with digestion, but I didn’t have any luck.”

“Well, your luck is about to change,” he said and nodded at the box in his hands. “I have everything you need in here.”
My shoulders slumped in relief. Honestly, I didn’t care if the two men had followed me as long as they had some stomach pills for me to take.

I unlocked my apartment, and Richard followed me through the door. Another sharp pain hit me like a punch in the gut as Richard organized his medicines on my kitchen counter.
My eyes widened as I took in all the medications that he had brought with him. There were bottles of liquid cold medicine and small white pills for allergies. But there were even bottles of pills that had pictures of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. I tilted my head as I picked up one of the bottles. Would these medications actually help with a medical emergency?
Richard piled all the bottles of pills and plastic containers of liquid medicine on my counter until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a bottle of bright pink liquid and a box of digestive aid and handed them to me with a smile.

I took them gratefully and reached for my purse that was on the counter. “Thank you, Richard. Let me pay you for these.”

“Luceland was where Chloe and Russell lived!” she said in lieu of a
greeting.
My mouth dropped open. “What??”
“Yes! Remember in that police report, Russell went missing in Luceland?”
I sat up in bed and clutched at my racing heart. “I thought that name sounded familiar! Can you come here so we can discuss-”

Ava cut me off. “I’ll be there in five minutes.”
Then, she hung up.
