Expressions? Jarrod thought for a moment. Then, he realized he hadn't seen any expressions from Nicole just now.

The nurse thought Jarrod was a careless person. She asked him to clean up his clothes in the bathroom. Then, she cleaned up Nicole's bed.

It was already late when she finished cleaning up.

The nurse wiped Nicole's body, changed the bed sheet, and tidied the bed.

Then, she tucked Nicole in and sat by the bedside while Nicole closed her eyes.

When Jarrod returned to the ward after changing his shirt, he asked the nurse to have a rest.

The dim night light created a shadow of Jarrod's tall and straight figure.

His angular and resolute facial features were highlighted, revealing a cold and rugged handsomeness.

His dark eyes were emotionless while he stared at Nicole on the bed.

Nicole was very thin, and she looked too small now. Nicole was 5.6 feet tall.

But as she lay on the bed now, her height was imperceptible.

Jarrod slowly approached her and reached out to brush aside the stray hair on her mouth. But as soon as his fingers touched he hair, she slapped him fiercely.

Caught off guard, he bore the slap. Five red fingerprints immediately appeared on his handsome face.

"Nicole Lawrence!"

Jarrod's eyes darkened instantly. His voice when he called out Nicole's full name was filled with intense murderous intent.

No woman in the entire Ardlens was bold enough to slap him in the face, not even Jamie.

His anger surged, and his expression became ferocious as if he wanted to skin Nicole alive. Suddenly, he raised his hand. After having experienced the torment in the detention center, fear was the first emotion Nicole felt when dealing with violence. The image of those two women who removed her fingernails flashed in her mind, and her body trembled slightly.

Jarrod noticed how terrified Nicole looked and felt his heart squeeze. It felt like he had lost all the strength in his hand.

All the anger he was feeling a few minutes ago had subsided completely. He let his already outstretched hand rest on her head, stroking her hair gently.

Nicole's body trembled uncontrollably, her brow furrowed in disgust.

A smirk formed on Jarrod's face. He assumed she just put on an act, probably thinking that he would leave then.

"What? Can't stand me touching you?" Jarrod asked casually.

His hands trailed down her head, resting at the nape of her neck. He wrapped his hand around her neck gently as though marveling at how one hand could hold her like that. No pressure was applied, but Nicole felt like she was being choked and the air was slowly leaving her.
