Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 2171

Jarrod hesitated before deflecting.

“You must have misheard.

” It wasn’t time to broach the topic of her mother since more pressing matters demanded attention.

Nicole accepted his evasion with a passive gaze fixed on the ceiling.

With no expectations, misconceptions were easy to embrace.

“I want to see Roscoe.

I’m worried about him,” Nicole insisted.

“He’s fine,” Jarrod replied curtly, his irritation palpable.

“The doctors have tended to him, and Roscoe’s family is with him now.

”

Nicole’s agitation was evident as her fingers curled.

“You informed the Watts family!”

“The Watts won’t pose a threat to him anymore.

Quite the opposite, they’re determined to protect him,” Jarrod explained.

Nicole looked puzzled.

“How so?”

Pouring a glass of water, Jarrod handed it to her, elaborating, “A direct heir of the Watts family recently perished in a car accident, along with his five-year-old son.

With Roscoe now the sole heir, they’re eager to safeguard him.

”

Nicole remained unconvinced.

Could Roscoe’s father, known for his ruthlessness, truly care about Roscoe? In that cutthroat environment, Roscoe’s value would diminish should another heir emerge.

Seeming to sense her skepticism, Jarrod continued, “The Watts now cherish him.

They’ve spared no expense, hiring top-notch doctors for his rehabilitation.

Have you heard of the ‘Xstar’ project? It’s a ten-billion-dollar initiative for bone regeneration, and the Watts have invested in it for Roscoe.

If Roscoe agrees, he could undergo surgery there.

In six months, his hands and feet will be as good as new.

He’s a doctor, isn’t he? After the treatment, he could return to surgery, even run a marathon if he desires.

”

Jarrod’s point was clear.

Roscoe had the option of treatment, but it came with a sacrifice.

Nicole grasped Jarrod’s implication.

He wanted her to convince Roscoe to leave her and seek treatment abroad.

“I won’t meddle in Roscoe’s decisions.

Whether he chooses treatment or not, I’ll honor his choice,” she asserted calmly.

“Do you want him to live with a disability because of you?” Jarrod’s tone carried a simmering anger.

“Perhaps you’re unaware, but his leg is already deformed.

He feigns normalcy in your presence, enduring the pain.

”

Jarrod’s smirk held a cruel edge.

“Nicole, are you truly willing to crush his aspirations, to confine him in the need of a crutch for your sake?”

Suddenly, Nicole remembered having asked Roscoe on a snowy day if he had any regrets.

He was after all, unable to pursue medicine, to wield the scalpel and save Lives anymore.

At that time, Roscoe had gazed at Nicole with eyes full of warmth, smiling as he said, “Curing the sick and

saving lives was never really my dream.

I don’t have such grand ambitions.

I initially pursued medicine just to be near you.

It was my only way to reach you.

I believed I had to become a great doctor, to stand by your side, care for your loved ones and your children, and most importantly, you.

”

At the thought of this, Nicole replied briefly to Jarrod, “Not everyone is like you.

Some people’s dreams are small and simple.

They just want to spend a lifetime with someone special, safe, and healthy through the changing seasons.

”

“Oh? Really?” Jarrod responded with a cold sneer, “Isn’t the future I envisioned also worthwhile?”

“You’re better off alone for life because you’re cold-hearted, emotionless, and selfish.

”

Jarrod seemed unaffected by Nicole’s harsh words.

He had always been that type of person, naturally detached from emotional entanglements since birth.

And Nicole was like a kite that had slipped from his fingers.

Someone Like him wouldn’t let anything he had marked stray from its intended path.

A lifetime with just one person, safe and healthy through the seasons.

Such a dream was laughable to him.

Both were lost in their own thoughts within the confines of the hospital ward.
