Love Unbreakable

Chapter 329 Jarrod's Critical Condition Alec, standing outside, felt shocked by what the nurse said.

Jarrod hadn't taken great care of himself, yet he was generally healthy, aside from the previous infection of pneumonia.

Alec never imagined Nicole's few words could endanger Jarrod's life.

In a daze, Alec asked the nurse, "I'm his assistant. Is it possible for me to sign the form for him?" The nurse seriously answered, "This is a matter of life and death, so you'd better inform his family to sign it." "But Mr. Schultz doesn't have any

relatives." The nurse asked in confusion, "Isn't he married?" Alec simply shook his head.

“What about his parents?" the nurse further asked.

"They've been gone for a long time." Alec answered.

The nurse, looking concerned, was surprised Jarrod had no relatives. After all, Jarrod was quite handsome and didn't seem like he'd have any trouble finding a wife for himself. Why hadn't he found someone to marry? The nurse passed the form to Alec, saying, "The patient is quite fragile right now. You sign it and see if there are any of his close friends or remote relatives who could come over. It'd be

good to reach out to them as soon as you can." After all, heart failure was an unexpected sickness, and nobody could foresee what might happen. The nurse simply wanted to give Alec a friendly reminder.

Following that, the medical staff shut the operating room door.

Clutching the form, Alec felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do. Remembering the nurse's suggestion, he pulled out his phone and called a number.

In the Sunshine Apartment.

After showering, Nicole dressed in a bathrobe and walked barefoot on the carpet.

She had just opened a bottle of red wine placed on the window ledge.

She poured herself some wine and gazed at the distant neon lights through the French window.

The city appeared vibrant in the darkness of the night. In contrast, her life seemed quite unfulfilling.

Nicole sipped the red wine, then quickly finished the glass.

Even though she didn't really savor the taste, she felt a bit tipsy after chugging a whole glass of wine.

She enjoyed being in a calm setting while under the influence of alcohol.

At times, with alcohol, she'd even imagine that her parents were still alive, their family living happily just like in the old days.

Without those cheerful memories before Jarrod entered the picture, Nicole doubted she could endure the lonely nights. .

From the lofty heights of a building like Sunshine Apartment, gazing down from the window would make people feel a bit dizzy.

This was the same height from which Wesson had jumped.

Every night, upon returning here, Nicole would spend time by the window, recalling those sufferings she and her family had endured. Those challenging times served as her motivation to keep living in this new life.

Nicole thought if she had died in that accident, it might have been a blessing for her. It was not easy for her to carry

on like this. She often felt meaningless except for revenge.

Those disheartening past weighed her down like a heavy load. She had carried too much and felt completely worn out...

As Nicole stood in a daze by the window, she noticed her phone vibrating. She picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number calling.

"Miss Lawrence, could you come to the hospital right away? Mr. Schultz has been in critical condition..." Alec's voice crackled through the speaker, sounding flustered.

"He's not dead yet?" Nicole said mockingly.

Alec seemed stunned by her response.

After a brief silence, he replied with a strained voice, "No, he's in a very

serious condition now..." "What a pity!" Nicole commented nonchalantly. How come Jarrod was still alive? She filled her glass with red wine once more, giving it a gentle shake. She had assumed she had a celebration party to hold.

It took Alec a few seconds to grasp Nicole's meaning. In an instant, his complexion lost all color.

Alec was uncertain about continuing the conversation. However, he felt an unbearable sadness and sympathy for Jarrod.

Alec pled, "Miss Lawrence, you might not appreciate what I'm about to say, but in the end, it was your words that led Mr. Schultz to kneel in the rain for eight hours. And now he's dealing with heart failure. How about showing him

some compassion? Besides, he has been filled with remorse for his past actions. How could you be so heartless to a dying person..." i "Being heartless? If I had known Jarrod was that submissive, I wouldn't have just made him kneel at the entrance," Nicole replied, laughing heartily.

Although Alec found Nicole's tone | quite strange, he still said softly, "Miss Lawrence, I didn't intend to accuse you. It's just that Mr. Schultz is really unwell right now. He doesn't have any family, and there was no one to sign the form for his critical condition. I know you are the person he desires to see the most." ‘Don't get me wrong, Alec. What I mean..." said Nicole with a smile.

After a pause, she continued casually,

"If 1 had known Jarrod was that submissive, I would have told him to g0 straight to hell. Someone as evil as him deserves an end like that." Alec was caught off guard by Nicole's words. Obviously, she harbored deep resentment toward Jarrod.

Nicole added, "Alec, if it was your sister who had experienced those things, would you convince her to forgive that bastard? Do you still see her as someone heartless?" Nicole's words left Alec utterly speechless. He had to admit that Nicole was correct. He had never tried to understand things from Nicole's point of view. If someone dear to him went through what Nicole had been through, he might feel the urge to seek vengeance and never forgive that bastard as long as he lived.

Nicole was sick of constantly hearing such nonsense words. She said impatiently, "Enough with this. The best news for me would be “hearing about Jarrod's death!" After saying that, Nicole ended the call.

Then, she couldn't help but laugh aloud. What was going on with this world? Jarrod, that evil and crazy man! Because of Jarrod, she had endured immense hardship. The Lawrence Group went bankrupt, her father succumbed to despair and leaped from a building, her mother passed away from depression, and she had lost track of how many times Jarrod had trampled on her dignity in the past.

How could Nicole forgive Jarrod after what had transpired? Someone as wicked as Jarrod should find himself in the depths of hell!

Just because Jarrod felt regret and N04 a hard time with his guilty conscience, should she forgive what he did to her and her family? If she didn't forgive him, she would be regarded as a heartless and vicious person? Did anyone consider the pain she endured these years? Laughing wildly, Nicole suddenly felt a hint of sadness, yet her face showed no emotion. Even if she was heartbroken, it was difficult for her to shed any tears.

The cruelty of people had left her deeply disappointed. She couldn't bring herself to love anyone anymore and couldn't accept the love of others either... It was all because of Jarrod.

Jarrod had shattered all her fantasies about any beautiful things. The only thing left for her was endless pain.

Therefore, no one had the right to ask her to forgive the demon who drove her to despair.

Because of the alcohol, Nicole had a pounding headache.

Right then, her phone rang again.

Nicole furrowed her brow, thinking it was Alec again. She grabbed it with her eyes closed and snapped, "I've said it more than once. Don't bother me unless he is dead!" "Are you okay, Nicole?" A concerned male voice was heard.

“Well... I'm fine..." stunned, Nicole replied hurriedly.

Then, there was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Nicole, I've booked a flight back. It's next week."

"You're coming back?" Nicole was taken aback when she heard that, and she adjusted herself slightly.

"Well, aren't you glad that I am coming back?" The man sounded a bit disheartened.

"Of course, I'm eager to see you. It's just that I'm a bit surprised," Nicole clarified hastily.

“Nicole, I'm heading back, whether you like it or not. After all, I won't let you face this battle alone." "Roscoe, I..." Having made up his mind, Roscoe interrupted Nicole, "Well, let's catch up later." Nicole felt she couldn't make the decision on Roscoe's behalf. At the thought of it, she said, "Okay, see you

then." "By the way, Austin is coming back with me." oe _—— The mention of Austin reminded Nicole of the darkest days of her life.

Suddenly, Nicole felt a sharp pain in her head and sweat formed on her forehead.

Roscoe explained, "The doctor suggested it's best for Austin to return to a familiar environment to relax, which will help his condition."
