To the management staff, although Jarrod smashed the restroom door, he didn't cause any substantial harm, let alone hurt anyone.

Regarding this incident, they had obtained a renovation fund for the hospital. It was definitely a gain for them.

"Don't worry. I will make sure that all our people keep their mouths shut. No one will gossip about this matter," the head of the management staff promised.

Alec replied, "Thank you. I've already arranged for the money to be transferred to your account."

The head of the management staff smiled from ear to ear.

Alec was being cautious since Derek was seriously hurt by Jarrod, along with Nicole's previous allegations that Jarrod had a mental illness. If what happened today spread, he feared people would put it all together and think Jarrod was really sick, exposing the truth. If this series of events were linked, it could lead to more serious trouble.

Alec was on alert now, quickly extinguishing the fire before it could even start burning.

At this moment, Jarrod had already returned to the car. Alec had asked a doctor to come to the car to treat his injured hand.

After the treatment, Jarrod remained silent. He didn't even instruct Alec to drive. Alec didn't dare to recklessly bring up the topic, so he just quietly sat in the driver's seat.

Alec had never seen Jarrod with a bleak expression, looking hollow and devoid of everything.

"I don't want to see that woman ever again," Jarrod suddenly said after a long silence.

Alec was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could ask a question, Jarrod added, "If she does anything out of line again, don't bother considering anything. Deal with it as you see fit."

After saying this, Jarrod closed his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.

It was as if the mere mention of Nicole's name disgusted him to the core.

Alec's chin dropped. This was his first time seeing Jarrod express such a strong aversion against Nicole. Despite his disbelief, he just replied, “Understood, Mr. Schultz."

Alec reasoned that things would be much easier to deal with, should Jarrod really despise Nicole. But he didn't dare to confirm it. He could only take one step at a time and observe the situation. After all, Nicole was special in Jarrod's heart. He doubted Jarrod could manage to never see Nicole again or stop caring about her. Moreover, there was Austin, who connected the two of them.

Alec drove the car back to the villa.

His mind clouded by his inner turmoil, Jarrod had instructed Alec to drive him to this place without him realizing. As he entered, he remembered Austin, Nicole's son, whom he had arranged to live here.

Right then, the maids responsible for serving Austin were making food downstairs. At the sight of Jarrod, they hurriedly stopped their work and greeted him respectfully.

Jarrod frowned slightly. “Why are you here?"

He instructed the two maids to always guard Austin and never leave his side. This was to prevent the nanny Nicole had hired from causing any trouble.

One of the maids hurriedly explained, "Sir, it's Miss Hampton's order."
