Alec was taken aback, not catching on the sudden shift of the gear of their conversation. Huh?
I asked what the date is today! Jarrod said, showing a hint of impatience.
Its the 26th, Alec answered.
Hearing this, Jarrods tone turned cold as he said, Today is Roscoes wedding day.
A sudden realization hit Alec. It clicked. No wonder Nicole had left early in the morning. She must have gone to find Roscoe.
Alec couldnt help but feel sorry for Jarrod. Jarrod had endangered his life to rescue Nicole. However, she was off searching for another man the moment she awoke. What a heartless woman!
Get the car ready. Jarrod tossed aside the blanket and rose from the bed.
Alec was stupefied. Jarrod hadnt recovered yet. How could he just leave?
Rushing to the door hastily, Alec blocked Jarrods way out, his tone firm as he said, Mr. Schultz, you cant leave yet. Please heed the doctors words and grab a proper rest for your severe injuries. Plus, theres a slew of reporters outside waiting to snap your photo, even if you refuse to give an interview!
Jarrods expression tightened. Step aside!
Alec stood his ground. I wont! Sir, I know youre after that woman, but its best to leave her be. Shes not worth the trouble!
Jarrod fixed his gaze on Alec and said, Im counting to one!
Alec protested. Sir, people usually count to three!
One! Jarrod began to count, prompting Alec to swiftly move aside.

His resolve could only hold out so briefly against Jarrod.
Sir, sir. Wait for me.. Alec grabbed Jarrods personal items and hurried after him.
Once in the car, Alec said, Those girls think youre a hero. Theyre all over the media singing your praises!
Jarrod unbuttoned his shirt and said with a low tone, I didnt save them. Had it not been for Nicole, the grim fate of those girls would have been inevitable.
Alec replied, I know. They praised Nicole as well, saying she was incredibly brave to take down three men by herself, practically a heroine. But sir, why are we rushing back?
Alec was confused. Roscoes wedding is already set, and at this hour, hes probably already married. It seems too late for Miss Lawrence to do anything.
Jarrods expression turned stern. Get Miguel on the phone for me.
Okay. Alec didnt hesitate and dialed Miguel right away. Yet, it was a servant who picked up and informed him that Miguel was sleeping.
Alec was confused. Its incredible. His son is getting married today, and hes already in bed. Hes something.
Jarrods anxiety grew. What about Doreen? Can you reach her?
