But who would have thought Jarrod would agree when Nicole just casually flirted with him?

Nicole could still remember it clearly. They were in the laboratory at that time. She plucked up the courage to ask, “Jarrod, do you not have a girlfriend?"

Jarrod didn't say anything. He just looked at her expressionlessly.

The atmosphere in the laboratory became awkward.

But Nicole didn't give up. She put on a bright smile, reached out her hand to him, and said, "Hello, I am your girlfriend."

Jarrod's hands were in his pockets. He just stared at her hand hanging in the air without taking it.

Nicole was about to withdraw her hand. But suddenly, Jarrod grabbed it tightly and said, “Okay.” That was the only word he uttered.

The setting sun illuminated Jarrod's facial features, making him look extremely handsome.

At that moment, Nicole admitted her heart raced. But now she realized all the disaster was planted at that moment. And everything was orchestrated by Jarrod. The sudden breakup announced by her boyfriend and their meeting were a part of it. It was all a lie.

Jarrod was a real madman. Because of him, the entire Lawrence family was plunged into an unjust disaster, shattered and ultimately destroyed. Her life, the stigma associated with her, the insults she had endured, and her family... She and her family were innocent.

Jarrod's doings had caused the cheerful and smiling Nicole to die.

Now, there were only ruins left in Nicole's heart. And the only memory she had was her hatred for Jarrod. Jarrod always reminded her of all the tragedies she and her family had encountered. For her, he was a beast who never cared about other people's sufferings. He was absolutely unforgivable.

While Nicole was still immersed in the memories of the past, Jarrod suddenly opened his eyes.

When Jarrod saw her staring at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly. "Why are you staring at me like that? Do you still find me handsome?

It was only then that Nicole came back to her senses. "Yes. I still can't believe someone as handsome as you can be this malicious."

Jarrod smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Nicole didn't say anything anymore. She just ignored him.

“Time for my medicine," Jarrod announced.

Nicole saw some pills on the bedside table. She knew Jarrod had not fully recovered yet, so he still needed to take a lot of medicine every day.

Nicole sat down expressionlessly, took the medicine, and fed him.
