Although she didn’t know what had really happened, she firmly believed that Nicole’s injuries were not caused by an accident.

Nicole must have been bullied.

In the middle of the night, the effect of the anesthetic started to wear off.

However, Nicole was still in a trance.

She groaned, “Mom…

It hurts… It hurts…”

Jarrod was awakened by her cry.

He stood up and walked over to check on her.

Nicole curled up in bed.

She had her eyes closed, and tears streamed down her face.

She frowned and kept murmuring.

Jarrod was so anxious that he called the doctor over.

Upon checking Nicole, the doctor shook her head and said there was nothing she could do except prescribe painkillers.

But she didn’t recommend it because it was harmful to the patient’s body.

After the doctor left, Jarrod lay beside Nicole on the bed and gently stroked Nicole’s hair.

He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn’t know how to start.

The truth was he hadn’t coaxed anyone over these years.

When he and Nicole were still together back then, she was not a sentimental woman.

That was why he had never coaxed her.

Later, his life turned upside down.

All women avoided him, and he also lost interest in coaxing any woman.

But at this moment, Nicole no longer had the strength to fight with him.

Instead, she lay on the hospital bed, weak and pitiful.

Jarrod’s heart seemed to soften again.

He held her in his arms and recalled the time when they first met.

At that time, Nicole was different.

She had a plump and s@xy figure.

She was perfect in his eyes.

But now, she was very skinny.

She was so thin that he could even feel her bones.

When did she start to become like this?

Jarrod was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice he had fallen asleep, too.

It was the first time they slept in the same bed without doing anything.

They just slept quietly.

At dawn, Jarrod was suddenly awakened.

When he found that Nicole was in his arms, a rare look of panic and confusion appeared in his eyes.

He got out of bed, feeling like he was not sober enough.

Otherwise, how could he do something like this? He hated Nicole, and he shouldn’t feel pity for her.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face with a handful of cold water.

Then, he stood in the smoking area and smoked alone.

“Jarrod…”
