The acid reflux caused intense pain.
Nicole wiped her mouth with a wet tissue and was shocked to find out she had vomited blood again.
When the pain somehow subsided, Nicole straightened up to find Jarrod had already entered the club without even looking back at her.
Nicole followed Jarrod in a hurry.
But when Jarrod saw her come in, he still pressed the door close.
The abrupt movement of the elevator nearly made Nicole vomit blood again.
Jarrodâs eyes held a mocking glint as he stared at her.
Nicole felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She wanted to know why he was acting this way.
Their relationship was improving, wasnât it? How could his behavior change suddenly?
After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, âJarrod, whatâs wrong? If thereâs something on your mind, canât you just talk to me about it?â
The elevator doors slid open, and Jarrod stepped out.

âNicole, do you really think you can fool me again?â

This video was taken out of context.
She had been referring to a memory from school, a time when Jarrod was innocent and gullible.
She used to make up stories about boys giving her love letters, just to see Jarrod get jealous and ignore her.
Back then, Jarrod was naive and easy to trick.
Nicole had not meant to imply that Jarrod was still easily fooled.
She just thought he might have retained some of his old traits.
Seeing her struggling for breath, Jarrod released her.
Nicole collapsed to the floor, gasping.
Jarrod glowered at her.
âIâve given you a few days of peace.
Have you forgotten what itâs like to be in torment?â
