Seeing Nicole's continued resistance, Jarrod resorted to taking a sip of water himself and then transferring it to her mouth directly.

Jarrod used the tip of his tongue to pry Nicole's mouth open and forced her to swallow the medicine.

Nicole was so dizzy that she had no strength to resist.

He didn't stop until she took a couple of pills. He pinched her cheek, feeling angry for no reason.

“When did you develop such a habit of not taking medicine when you were sick?"

Nicole suddenly laughed while tears streaming down her face. It was as if she heard something funny.

“Of course, I want to take medicine. But have you forgotten that you flushed them down in the toilet?"

Those painkillers were her life-saving medicine. They were very effective in relieving pain without harming her body.

She didn't know how Roscoe got the medicine. But he must have had a hard time obtaining it.

Now that Jarrod had flushed the whole bottle into the toilet, Nicole felt like her last bit of hope had disappeared. Her eyes darkened, and she could no longer see any hope in life.

Jarrod subconsciously narrowed his eyes when he heard Nicole's words.

His grip on her face tightened.

He still wrongly thought the pills Nicole wanted to take moments earlier were contraceptives. He didn't understand why she kept mentioning those pills, which could easily be found in a pharmacy.

Did she really hate being pregnant with his child that much?

The more Jarrod thought about it, the more determined he was to have a child with Nicole.

His first child with Nicole was not even given the chance to see this world. At the thought of this, his eyes darkened. For the first time, he felt sorry for their unborn child.

“I got rid of those pills for your own good."

Jarrod's cold voice sounded creepy in the still of the night.

Nicole's eyes immediately lost their luster. She smiled mockingly and said, "Thank you for your kindness then.”

But Jarrod didn't seem to care about her mockery at all. No matter what she said, he would never change his mind.
