Chapter 792:

Despite being enemies, they understood each other too well.

After a pause, Jarrod broke the silence. «He's just a child. "We can have another one."

At those words, every fiber of Nicole's being shook, her hand rose to slap Jarrod again, but he caught her wrist.

Jarrod, looking at her pale face and dry lips, softened his tone as he said, “If you want, we can try to have another child. But for now, it's important that you heal."

“Jarrod?” Nicole looked at him as if she were observing a stranger, emphasizing each word as she declared, “I love children, but that has nothing to do with you, understand? And you think too much of me. Is my body even capable of having a child now?

What Nicole really wanted to say was that someone as ruthless and cruel as Jarrod, who belonged in hell, had no right to be a father.

He was not swayed by her sudden concern for the boy. The moment things didn't go his way, he would threaten her with the child. She understood it very well.

Jarrod realized that bringing up the subject was unwise, given Nicole's health. He changed the subject. «You know, adoption is easy nowadays. "We can adopt a child if we want to start a family."

Nicole chuckled. "Jarrod, do you think of a child as some kind of toy to entertain you?"

He couldn't contain himself any longer. "Someone like you shouldn't have children!"

Jarrod, known for his short temper and having repeatedly faced scorn from Nicole, struggled to remain calm. But then, he remembered her reaction when they had sex in front of the glass.

The men shared a common weakness. They could tolerate a lot when they knew a woman remained intact. Jarrod was delighted with Nicole's purity.

Finally, Jarrod clenched his fist in his pocket and said coldly, “Get some rest.”

Nicole dropped her eyelids, pretending not to hear, and gave no response.

Jarrod looked at her one last time before leaving the room.

The door slammed shut, and only then did Nicole raise her eyelashes, looking in the direction where Jarrod had emerged. Jarrod was too suspicious. His suspicions about the boy had not faded.

Nicole knew it was only a matter of time before Jarrod found out about Austin. The situation was serious. He needed to leave with Austin immediately. To sneak away without Jarrod noticing, she had to take a drastic measure that would completely captivate his attention. This would mean destroying both her reputation and his.

After another week of rest, Nicole requested to be discharged from the hospital.

Concerned about his health, Jarrod sought the opinion of a new doctor, since the previous one had been lackadaisical. The new doctor advised more carefully: "It is best for the patient to recover at home and make sure that she recovers completely."

The new doctor's words did not emphasize how serious Nicole's condition was.

Jarrod, slightly calm, asked, "How much longer do you need to stay on the medication?"

The doctor responded: "Three to five months, with monthly check-ups at the hospital."

Jarrod nodded and motioned for Alec to pick up the medication before returning to Nicole's living room.

Nicole had very little to pack, as she hadn't brought much to the hospital. Jarrod had provided everything.
