Jarrod had made it clear that the fruit delivered was always fresh, but the hospital rooms temperature wasnt ideal for storing it, so any leftovers at the end of the day would be thrown away.
Reflecting on it, Leila felt it was a shame to see so much fruit wasted daily.
After Nicoles genuine offer, Leila realized it would be stubborn to decline. She smiled warmly. Thank you, Miss Lawrence.
Nicole assured her it was no trouble at all.
From that moment, their relationship deepened. The next time Leila came to work, she excitedly told Nicole how her son had loved the fruits, declaring it the best hed ever had.
Leilas words were filled with a simple, infectious joy.
Nicole looked on with envy. ALl she had ever wanted was that simple kind of happiness.

Leila was shocked to hear this. She had always believed Jarrod was Nicoles husband. After all, he had always been there for her, even acknowledging himself as her husband when the doctor asked for the patients family. So that wasnt the case This fragile young Nicole was truly deserving of pity.
Why dont you go to the police? Leila asked and then felt a bit foolish for even asking. Jarrod was no ordinary man. Going to the authorities would likely prove useless.
Nicole offered a wry smile in response. Ive tried everything possible.
Seeing Nicoles drawn, pale face and the sharp contours of her chin, Leila felt a surge of sympathy. Then how can I help you?
Nicole felt a surge of hope. She hadnt planned to deceive Leila from the beginning. She simply saw kindness in Leila and decided to take a chance. Surprisingly, her risk seemed to be paying off.
Leilas kindness allowed Nicole a brief moment of forgiveness toward fate.
I believe hes being treated here as well, but Im not sure which room. Could you please find out where Roscoe, the young master of the Watts family, is staying?
Nicole suspected Roscoe might be in this hospital because it was the best in Ardlens.
Considering the Watts familys commitment to Roscoes well-being, they would naturally choose the best hospital, particularly famous for its orthopedics department. The odds were good, about ninety percent, that Roscoe was here.
