Chapter 1499:

? ? ? ? ?

Just then, a nurse approached Nicole. “Miss, the patient in that room you’re asking about just woke up.”

Nicole quickly put her phone in her pocket and followed the nurse into Jamie's room.

Inside, Jamie lay in bed, looking friar. She had narrowly escaped death and the order had left her physically exhausted.

After fleeing Jarrod's control, her health had deteriorated considerably, aggravated by the after-effects of an extensive plastic surgery operation, which had left her with various complications. The situation was bleak.

“Jamie, who tried to kill you?” Nicole asked, getting straight to the point and using Melissa's real name.

Perhaps because Jamie had been pretending to be Melissa for so long, she instinctively rejected the name. “What are you talking about?” “My name is Melissa.”

Nicole held up a battered photo of herself, which she had found in Jamie's apartment, pressing Jamie to tell the truth. "How long are you going to keep up this facade? If you're Melissa, why do you hate me? What grudge do you hold against me?"

Jamie's eyes flickered with guilt, but his agitation hid his true feelings. "Stop talking nonsense. I've already told you, I'm not Jamie," he insisted stubbornly.

“You're not?” Nicole replied, her voice tinged with disbelief. “If you weren't, why would I have saved you? “I should have let you die there.”

Nicole had rescued Jamie only to discover the truth about her own father's death and determine if Jamie had colluded with Brett to harm her father.

Jamie shuddered as she recalled her order before passing out in the bathtub.

“If you're not Jamie, find someone else to cover your medical bills. “I’m leaving,” Nicole declared, throwing the photo away as she turned to leave the room.

“Wait!” Jamie’s voice was tinged with despair as he shouted. “What do you want to know?”

Nicole stopped and turned to look at Jamie. “You've gotten smarter, haven't you, Jamie?” she commented, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Jamie snorted disdainfully. She was aware that Nicole needed something from her. Otherwise, why would Nicole be so trying on confirming her identity?

Nicole got straight to the point. “I want to know if you had been in contact with Brett before my father died.”

Uncertainty flickered in Jamie's eyes. She hadn't expected Nicole to already know Brett. Finding out about Brett would surely involve her. She and Brett were inextricably linked. If one fell, the other would follow.
