Chapter 277 Nicole Was Gone

Chapter 277 Nicole Was Gone 

The sea roiled beneath a stormy sky, and Jarrod frantically scanned the turbulent waters for any sign of

Nicole.

Without a second thought, Jarrod crossed the railing and sprinted toward the edge, only to be grabbed

by Alec from behind.

"Be careful, Mr.Schultz! If you jump at the wrong angle, you might end up falling on the rocks..."

Alec didn't finish his words.

He wanted to say that there was no point in searching Nicole.She was likely dead by now.

"Let go of me!"

Jarrod's eyes burned with a demonic intensity, his voice trembling with desperation.

The vast ocean below seemed bottomless, each passing moment diminishing Nicole's chances of

survival.

“Mr.Schultz, Miss Lawrence seems determined to end herself!"

Alec reluctantly revealed the harsh reality.

"This morning, a substantial sum of money was transferred to Mrs.Lawrence's hospital account,

enough to cover the next fifty years.It must be from Miss Lawrence."

Perhaps when Nicole visited Dora yesterday, she had already made up her mind.

Shock gripped Jarrod when he heard that.

Nicole had made up her mind.

She would rather die than be with him.In an instant, Jarrod's heart felt as though it had been wrenched

open, bleeding with each tearing fragment.

The pain surged from his heart to every inch of his being, threatening to overwhelm him.

In a daze, a distant voice seemed to call him from the deep blue sea.

“Jarrod...Jarrod..."

The voice echoed, and Jarrod's heart felt as if it had been stabbed.

Dizziness gradually overwhelmed him, and he couldn't stand on his own.

Fortunately, Alec caught him in time.

Jarrod's response was swift.

"If I don't make it, bury us together when you replace our bodies."

In the next breath, he leaped into the boundless sea.

"Mr.Schultz!"

Alec shouted anxiously.

Alec hurried to the Coast Guard office, seeking their assistance.

A rescue team was dispatched to search for Jarrod and Nicole.

When Jarrod regained consciousness, a day had passed.

Alec and the rescue team had found Jarrod after an exhaustive search.

They spent about an hour searching in the sea.

Jarrod was so tired that he had allowed himself to sink to the bottom of the water.

Upon waking, Jarrod promptly threw off the quilt and stood up.

Alec urgently stopped him, saying, "Mr.Schultz, the doctor said you need to rest."

"I need to replace Nicole! Have you continued the search for her?"Jarrod urgently asked.

Alec's eyes darkened as he answered, "We found Miss Lawrence."

“Where is she?"

Jarrod's eyes, bloodshot from the seawater, remained intense.

He looked at Alec and asked, "Is she in the hospital?"

Alec met his gaze and said plainly, "Miss Lawrence is dead.I'm sorry."

Suddenly, a heavy thud echoed as Jarrod staggered back and collided with the bed.

Jarrod couldn't believe it.

Nicole had passed away.

How could that be? Just yesterday, she had attempted to strangle him in the car.

How could she be gone overnight? Jarrod's bloodshot eyes lost focus.

His voice trembled as he asked, "Where is she?"

After hesitating for a while, Alec replied, "Mr.Schultz, it's not advisable to see her in person.Miss

Lawrence didn't fall into the sea.She fell off the cliff and hit the rocks.Her body was badly disfigured."

Nicole's body had been taken to the funeral home, but it was too damaged to be fixed.

Her body was severely damaged, and one of her legs was missing, likely dragged away by an animal.

Jarrod's heart shattered at the news.

He insisted, "I want to see her right away."

On the way, Jarrod maintained a facade of calm.

Images of Nicole flashed through his mind, and the reality of her passing remained inconceivable.Even

with Alec confirming the torn clothes and belongings were Nicole's, Jarrod refused to believe she was

gone.

Jarrod said to himself perhaps Nicole despised him so much that she chose to disappear under this

cover.

Whether she was alive or dead, he had to see for himself.

Otherwise, he would not believe it.

In the dimly lit morgue, a lifeless form lay shrouded beneath a pristine white cloth.

Once a fearless individual overseas, Jarrod approached with hesitant steps.

Despite his past feats of tearing wolves apart with bare hands, an unsettling tremor now coursed

through his fingers.

With deliberate hesitancy, Jarrod unveiled the covered figure.

In an instant, a lightning bolt seemed to strike his brain.

An eerie silence suddenly enveloped the room.

Jarrod seemed to suddenly go deaf, unable to hear anything.

He didn't dare to acknowledge it, nor did he want to face it.

Even amidst the gruesome injuries, the facial outline hauntingly resembled Nicole.

"No, this can't be! I'll expose your deceit, Nicole!"

Jarrod's eyes turned scarlet red.

He lost it and started trying to take the clothes off of the remnants.

Witnessing the turmoil, Alec intervened urgently, "Mr.Schultz!"

When Jarrod lifted the clothes, a small red mole on the slender waist caught Jarrod's eye.

Its stark contrast to the mangled remains fueled his desperation.Jarrod couldn't help but cough up a

mouthful of blood.

A splatter of red stained the white fabric.

The red mole starkly contrasted with the disfigured body, emphasizing the cruel reality that Jarrod

couldn't deceive himself about any longer.

Nicole was gone.

"Ah! Why?"

Jarrod held the mutilated body tightly and knelt on the floor.

His cries of pain filled the entire room.

In the aftermath of his roar, heavy panting filled the air.

Jarrod, who hadn't shed tears since childhood, now knelt beside Nicole's lifeless body, mourning the

irrevocable loss.

"Nicole, please don't leave me.Come back...I won't confine you any longer.I'll set you free.It's my

fault.It’s all my fault..."

Jarrod pleaded, his face pressed against the bony remnants.

At the sight of the corpse, Alec felt his scalp tingle.

Honestly, the disfigured face was more terrifying than Jamie's.

Jamie looked somewhat scary now because of her injuries, but at least she was not dead.

Nicole's corpse was severely mutilated, exuding a gloomy aura, especially from the hollow eye sockets

that seemed ready to suck one in the next second.

Jarrod, who didn't like Jamie, especially her disfigured face, now felt no disgust as he hugged Nicole's

badly mutilated body in his arms.

"Nicole, please come back.I will give my life to you..."

His pleas resonated, but the woman in his arms remained eternally silent, lost to the grasp of death.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with force, breaking the heavy silence in the room.

A high-pitched cry pierced the air.

In came Raegan.

She knelt on the floor beside Nicole's lifeless body.

As Raegan's trembling hand reached out to touch Nicole's badly mutilated face, tears welled up in her

eyes, and she began to sob inconsolably.

The next moment, a sharp clap echoed through the room as Raegan's hand met Jarrod's face with a

resounding slap.

Raegan had used all of her strength on the slap.

The force behind it left a vivid red mark on Jarrod's cheek.

Through gritted teeth, Raegan cursed, "Jarrod Schultz! You heartless bastard! Nicole wouldn't have

taken her own life if it weren't for you."

Jarrod fell on the floor, cradling what remained of Nicole in his arms, seemingly unaffected by Raegan's

anger.

“You even took her child away.She wanted to keep it.She wanted to keep your child! You...You

heartless monster!"

Raegan continued.

Jarrod trembled violently when he heard those words.

Nicole wanted to keep their child? The realization hit him like a sledgehammer.

“She wanted to keep the baby...Ha-ha..."

Suddenly, Jarrod burst into laughter, tears mingling with the bitter taste of blood in his mouth.

"Give Nicole back to me! Leave her alone!"

Raegan didn't pity Jarrod at all.

She shoved Jarrod away and said in disdain, “Don't touch her with your filthy hands.Spare us your

hypocritical act.You are not worthy of her."

At her words, Jarrod's eyes sparked with intensity.

He raised his hand abruptly, his voice hoarse but laced with cruelty.

"Don't even think about it.She is mine!"
