To make matters worse, he even took her out to drink on several occasions.
In order to secure certain business deals he had assigned to her, Nicole had drunk desperately, continuously, for days until she secured them.

It turned out she couldn’t bear it anymore, which was why she finally revealed her discomfort to him.
It wasn’t an act. She was really ill sick.
But he had never believed her, not even once.
As Jarrod gazed at the closed doors of the emergency room, he realized despite his wealth and power, there were things beyond his control.

If she survived, he could make an effort to let go of his hatred.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the doors of the emergency room swung open.
Jarrod abruptly stood up. The sight of Nicole being wheeled out struck him with a piercing pain.
In that dizzying moment, his strength gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
Unnoticed at first, a trickle of fresh blood began to seep from beneath his coat.
“Jarrod!” Jamie cried out as she rushed to wrap Jarrod, who had collapsed on the ground, in her embrace. Then, she called out at the top of her lungs, “Doctor!”
Soon after, the medical staff arrived to attend to Jarrod.

“Are you kidding me?” The doctor exclaimed with a frown, “It’s a fresh wound! It looks like he’s been bleeding continuously but chose to ignore it. Does he want to die?”
As Jamie watched the scene unfold, she clenched her hands into fists.
Men’s words truly couldn’t be trusted totally. Jarrod once promised he would cherish her in his lifetime. However, he was willing to throw his life away for that bitch Nicole.
It was only when Jarrod was finally receiving medical treatment that Jamie entered Nicole’s ward. There, Jamie happened to meet the doctor in charge.
“Are you with the gentleman who was just admitted?” the doctor asked upon seeing Jamie.
“Yes, I am. And the patient here, Nicole… She’s my best friend,”
Jamie replied, her voice tinged with feigned sadness.
