Back then, Jarrod was shy when he took one more glance at her. He blushed when he kissed her. But all of these no longer existed.

When Nicole was wheeled out of the operating room, her entire face was covered with thick gauze. She was no different from a mummy. The anesthetic had fully taken effect, so she was in a deep sleep.

Since her face was very small, she looked miserable with the gauze wrapped around it.

Jarrod looked at Nicole's bandaged face and asked the doctor, "Will there be any scars on her face?"

When the female doctor heard his question, she looked at him disdainfully.

Sure enough, men only cared about women's appearance. Actually, the wounds on Nicole's back and arms were much more serious than those on her face. But Jarrod only cared about the scar on Nicole's face.

“Based on the current situation, yes, it is very likely to leave scars. Also, the patient needs psychological guidance. This is a very traumatic experience for her, so it can't be ignored," the female doctor reminded.

She felt so sorry for Nicole that she wanted to punish those who did this to her. If her supervisor hadn't told her to treat Nicole carefully, she would have called the police already.

Although she didn't know what had really happened, she firmly believed that Nicole's injuries were not caused by an accident.

Nicole must have been bullied.

In the middle of the night, the effect of the anesthetic started to wear off. However, Nicole was still in a trance. She groaned, "Mom...

It hurts... It hurts..."

Jarrod was awakened by her cry. He stood up and walked over to check on her.

Nicole curled up in bed. She had her eyes closed, and tears streamed down her face. She frowned and kept murmuring.

Jarrod was so anxious that he called the doctor over. Upon checking Nicole, the doctor shook her head and said there was nothing she could do except prescribe painkillers. But she didn't recommend it because it was harmful to the patient's body.

After the doctor left, Jarrod lay beside Nicole on the bed and gently stroked Nicole's hair. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start.

The truth was he hadn't coaxed anyone over these years.

When he and Nicole were still together back then, she was not a sentimental woman. That was why he had never coaxed her.

Later, his life turned upside down. All women avoided him, and he also lost interest in coaxing any woman.

But at this moment, Nicole no longer had the strength to fight with him. Instead, she lay on the hospital bed, weak and pitiful.
