The security guards unconsciously trembled. One of them said, You Youd better cooperate with us. Otherwise, we will be forced to call the police.
Jarrod had damaged the hospitals property and could be arrested and required to compensate.
Jarrod didnt say anything and disdained talking to these security guards.
Fortunately, Alec arrived in time. He immediately smoothened the situation. Im sorry. Its all a misunderstanding.
Alec pulled one security guard aside and said, This gentleman is in a bad mood because one of his family members is hospitalized. Please understand. But dont worry. We will compensate for everything.
The security guard shook his head. Its not about compensation. This persons behavior has frightened the medical staff and other patients. We need to take him away for interrogation. Then, we will assess if we need to call the police.
Alec took out a business card, handed it to the security guard, and said humbly, I have an idea. We will replace all the doors in the entire hospital building with better riot-proof doors. Please consult your superiors to see if its acceptable.

It would cost a substantial amount of money to replace all the doors in the entire building with riot-proof doors. The security guard thought Alec was just bragging. But he still had to consult his superiors, so he turned around and left.
Soon, the hospital management staff hurried over. They knew the company on the business card Alec had handed over, recognizing its strength. They immediately decided not to pursue the matter further.
They even saw Alec off downstairs happily.
Alec said to the management staff before departing, Everything was really just a misunderstanding. Please manage your staff and caution them against gossiping. Mr. Schultz simply lost control of his emotions because his family member was hospitalized. We are all ordinary people, and we sometimes find it hard to deal with our emotions. 1 bet its understandable, right?
The head of the management staff nodded repeatedly. Thats true. Its just a trivial matter.
To the management staff, although Jarrod smashed the restroom door, he didnt cause any substantial harm, let alone hurt anyone.
Regarding this incident, they had obtained a renovation fund for the hospital. It was definitely a gain for them.
Dont worry. I will make sure that all our people keep their mouths shut. No one will gossip about this matter, the head of the management staff promised.
Alec replied, Thank you. Ive already arranged for the money to be transferred to your account.
The head of the management staff smiled from ear to ear.
Alec was being cautious since Derek was seriously hurt by Jarrod, along with Nicoles previous allegations that Jarrod had a mental illness. If what happened today spread, he feared people would put it all together and think Jarrod was really sick, exposing the truth. If this series of events were linked, it could lead to more serious trouble.
Alec was on alert now, quickly extinguishing the fire before it could even start burning.
At this moment, Jarrod had already returned to the car. Alec had asked a doctor to come to the car to treat his injured hand.
After the treatment, Jarrod remained silent. He didnt even instruct Alec to drive. Alec didnt dare to recklessly bring up the topic, so he just quietly sat in the drivers seat.
Alec had never seen Jarrod with a bleak expression, looking hollow and devoid of everything.
I dont want to see that woman ever again, Jarrod suddenly said after a long silence.
Alec was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could ask a question, Jarrod added, If she does anything out of line again, dont bother considering anything. Deal with it as you see fit.

.
After saying this, Jarrod closed his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.
It was as if the mere mention of Nicoles name disgusted him to the core.
Alecs chin dropped. This was his first time seeing Jarrod express such a strong aversion against Nicole. Despite his disbelief, he just replied, Understood, Mr. Schultz.
Alec reasoned that things would be much easier to deal with, should Jarrod really despise Nicole. But he didnt dare to confirm it. He could only take one step at a time and observe the situation. After all, Nicole was special in Jarrods heart. He doubted Jarrod could manage to never see Nicole again or stop caring about her. Moreover, there was Austin, who connected the two of them.
Alec drove the car back to the villa.
His mind clouded by his inner turmoil, Jarrod had instructed Alec to drive him to this place without him realizing. As he entered, he remembered Austin, Nicoles son, whom he had arranged to live here.
Right then, the maids responsible for serving Austin were making food downstairs. At the sight of Jarrod, they hurriedly stopped their work and greeted him respectfully.
Jarrod frowned slightly. Why are you here?
He instructed the two maids to always guard Austin and never leave his side. This was to prevent the nanny Nicole had hired from causing any trouble.
One of the maids hurriedly explained, Sir, its Miss Hamptons order.
