The red mole starkly contrasted with the disfigured body, emphasizing the cruel reality that Jarrod couldn't deceive himself about any longer. Nicole was gone.

"Ah! Why?" Jarrod held the mutilated body tightly and knelt on the floor. His cries of pain filled the entire room.

In the aftermath of his roar, heavy panting filled the air.

Jarrod, who hadn't shed tears since childhood, now knelt beside Nicole's lifeless body, mourning the irrevocable loss.

"Nicole, please don't Leave me. Come back... I won't confine you any longer. I'll set you free. It's my fault. It's all my fault..."

Jarrod pleaded, his face pressed against the bony remnants.

At the sight of the corpse, Alec felt his scalp tingle. Honestly, the disfigured face was more terrifying than Jamie's. Jamie Looked somewhat scary now because of her injuries, but at least she was not dead.

Nicole's corpse was severely mutilated, exuding a gloomy aura, especially from the hollow eye sockets that seemed ready to suck one in the next second.

Jarrod, who didn't like Jamie, especially her disfigured face, now felt no disgust as he hugged Nicole's badly mutilated body in his arms.

“Nicole, please come back. I will give my life to you..." His pleas resonated, but the woman in his arms remained eternally silent, lost to the grasp of death.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with force, breaking the heavy silence in the room. A high-pitched cry pierced the air.

In came Raegan. She knelt on the floor beside Nicole's lifeless body.

As Raegan's trembling hand reached out to touch Nicole's badly mutilated face, tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to sob inconsolably.

The next moment, a sharp clap echoed through the room as Raegan's hand met Jarrod's face with a resounding slap.

Raegan had used all of her strength on the slap.

The force behind it left a vivid red mark on Jarrod's cheek.

Through gritted teeth, Raegan cursed, “Jarrod Schultz! You heartless bastard! Nicole wouldn't have taken her own life if it weren't for you."

Jarrod fell on the floor, cradling what remained of Nicole in his arms, seemingly unaffected by Raegan's anger.

"You even took her child away. She wanted to keep it. She wanted to keep your child! You... You heartless monster!" Raegan continued.

Jarrod trembled violently when he heard those words. Nicole wanted to keep their child? The realization hit him like a sledgehammer.
