When Alec saw Vicki, his expression changed. He wanted to stop her, but she just brushed his hand away. She quickly walked up to Jarrod and put a coat around his shoulders.
Jarrod, you Vickis voice trailed off when she saw Jarrods face.
It seemed the dirt and blood were painted all over his face. Also, his entire body was a mess.
This was Vickis first time seeing Jarrod in this state. She felt pain in her heart. But she also felt resentful at the same time. She was his fiance. How could Jarrod be so devastated for another woman?

Vicki didnt dare to show her displeasure. Instead, she forced herself to calm down and said softly, Jarrod, take care of your wounds. Your forehead
Tears welled up in her eyes and she asked in a choked voice, How did you get hurt?
It was only then that Jarrod looked at Vicki. It seemed he only noticed her presence now. His brows furrowed as he asked, How did you get here? Obviously, he was not happy to see her.
Vicki sensed this, and her heart ached, feeling uncomfortable.
Jarrod, I am worried about you, she said softly. But in her heart, she wanted to ask him why he abandoned her without a word and went to find Nicole.
Vicki was overwhelmed by her inner turmoil and realized she couldnt tolerate Nicoles presence, especially given Nicoles significance in Jarrods heart. She couldnt keep her promise to Jarrod that she only wanted the marriage. She came to realize that she desired more and felt Nicole was a thorn in her side and a poison that had deeply penetrated Jarrods heart and mind. It seemed impossible that she could kick Nicole out of Jarrods heart.
Theres nothing you can do here. Just go home, Jarrod said curtly.
But I want to stay with you Vicki said in an aggrieved voice.
She was his fiance, and she didnt want to leave Jarrod alone with Nicole.

Vicki, go home, Jarrod said coldly. The way he uttered her name made Vickis heart tremble. She knew he would only get angry if she insisted on staying.
So, although she had many complaints, she didnt dare to voice them out. She only said in a low voice, Okay, Ill go. Remember to take care of your wounds. Rest well.
But Jarrod turned a deaf ear to Vicki. He didnt respond at all.
Nicole was being treated inside, and he was worried sickly, not in the mood to care about Vickis emotions. He didnt care about Vicki anyway.
Of course, Vicki noted his indifference to her. What she could normally tolerate had become unbearable whenever faced with something related to Nicole. She was so angry that she could even explode at any time.
Vicki clenched her fists tightly and looked at the closed door with darkened eyes. Then, she turned around to leave with a heart full of resentment.
At this moment, Jarrod thought of something and instructed Alec, Go back to the villa first and check on Austin. See if the nanny has given him his medicine on time.
At this time, Vicki had not gone far yet and was standing behind the corner. So, she heard what Jarrod said to Alec. And his every word was like a sharp knife that stabbed her heart. He didnt care about her feelings at all. But he was very concerned about Nicoles son.
A sad realization dawned on Vicki. No matter what, she was nothing compared to Nicole in Jarrods heart. Even Austin was more important than her.
When Alec was about to pass by the corner, Vicki walked out from behind and stopped him.
Vicki smiled sweetly and asked Alec, Are you heading back to Jarrods villa? I think I left an earring there. Could I get a ride with you to look for it?
