"You're crazy!" Nicole shot back, unyielding.

She rarely showed vulnerability in front of him. Even when mistreated, she refused to cry.

But, it should be noted, tears were her secret weapon. At least for now, Jarrod felt disarmed.

Visibly frustrated, Jarrod said, "I never stop you from seeing Raegan.

Given Mitchel's volatile temper, you're lucky to walk away unscathed.

You should be thanking me, got it?"

"He's a bastard, Jarrod! Why can't I tell the truth? You're no good either. You're just as bad as he is!"

"You!" Jarrod clenched his jaw, enraged.

Just as he was about to give Nicole a piece of his mind, a figure caught his eye, casting a shadow over his expression for a fleeting moment.

Quickly, he positioned Nicole behind him, near the emergency exit.

Caught off guard, Nicole stumbled backward when Jarrod shoved her.

Her heel got stuck in the emergency exit door, causing her to fall hard onto the concrete.

The sound of her falling was a muffled thud, making it clear she'd taken a heavy fall.

Just as Nicole was gearing up to unleash a string of curses, a soft feminine voice wafted in from the outside.

"Jarrod, what brings you here?"

It was unmistakably Jamie's voice.

Switching his attention from the door to Jamie, Jarrod answered softly, "I'm visiting a friend. What's got you in the hospital?" Jamie caught a faint whiff of shower gel, and for a fleeting moment, her eyes flashed with barely noticeable malice.

"I'm a bit lightheaded, so I came to get checked out."

Jamie leaned against Jarrod's chest. Jarrod gave her a quick look and asked, "Feeling worn out?"

Without waiting for her response, he scooped her up into his arms.

"Hey, there are so many people coming and going here..."

Jarrod's eyes settled on the now-shut emergency exit door, and a dark feeling began to stir within him.

"What's there to be scared of? I'm just holding my girl. Who's going to object?"
