“Useless!” Jarrod’s voice thundered. “What the hell are those doctors doing?”
He massaged his temples, struggling to rein in his emotions. “Spare no expense for the best medical care. She must be saved.”
Jarrod’s voice quivered, betraying his inner turmoil. He seemed to be speaking to Alec, but also muttering to himself. “She can’t die.
Nicole can’t face another loss.”
Alec, hearing the rare shake in Jarrod’s voice, understood the gravity of the situation.
“Understood, Mr. Schultz,” he responded promptly.
After ending the call, Jarrod turned to see Jamie clutching a soiled wedding dress, his footprints marring its white fabric. He was too anxious earlier.
“Jarrod…” Jamie’s voice broke, laden with tears. Today, meant to be her big day, was ruined by Nicole.
Reflecting on the earlier incident, Jamie suspected Jarrod might have been the one who kicked her over.
If true, it meant Jarrod’s feelings for Nicole surpassed any gratitude toward her. Jamie felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown, but knew she had to maintain composure. Now was the time to be even more gentle and patient, contrasting herself with Nicole’s deep resentment toward Jarrod.
“Jarrod, are you alright?” Jamie gestured to his bloodied cuff. “Is your arm okay where Nicole bit you?”
Jarrod’s gaze lingered on her briefly before he responded calmly, “I’m fine.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know Nicole was going through such a distressing situation. When I saw her attacking you, I acted impulsively. Should I apologize to her?”
Jamie cast her eyes down, adopting a submissive demeanor.

He said softly, “No, I have treated you badly today. I promise to make it up to you later. Please, go back first.”
Jamie, feeling a sting of resentment, realized Jarrod was Likely planning to spend time with Nicole.
However, she noticed a softening in Jarrod’s tone.
“Alright, I’ll leave first. Take care,” Jamie replied gently, masking her true feelings.
As Jamie walked away, Jarrod’s thoughts lingered on Nicole, wishing for a semblance of peace with her.
After Jamie turned the corner, her expression changed. She recalled overhearing Jarrod mention the critical state of Nicole’s mother.
Two tragedies in one day? Jamie decided this news needed to reach Nicole.
She made a call, instructing, “Find out where Nicole’s mother is and her condition.”
