âIs it true that Nicole has advanced gastric cancer? Is there any hope for her after the operation?â
Just before Jarrod fainted, Jamie had caught a glimpse of Nicoleâs surgery waiver.
A part of her wanted to laugh hysterically at the thought of Nicoleâs impending death.
The doctor fell for Jamieâs mock sorrow and tried to offer some comfort.
âHer illness is severe.
The chances of recovery after the surgery are low.
We recommend focusing on end-of-life care to minimize her suffering.
â
Jamie felt a rush of elation inside, but her face was a mask of profound sadness.
âShe has a previous admission record for a scheduled abortion this Saturday.
Itâs important she receives proper nutrition before that procedure,â the doctor added.
âAbortion?â Nicole repeated, clearly taken aback.
Seeing her surprise, the doctor asked with a frown, âYou didnât know?â
Jamie quickly composed herself and replied as calmly as she could, âOf course, I know.
You donât have to worry about her not getting the right nutrition.
Iâll take care of her.
â
Once the doctor left, the smile that had been on Jamieâs face vanished.
Abortion? Was this bitch Nicole pregnant with Jarrodâs child? Or was it someone elseâs?
Jamieâs gaze fell on Nicoleâs still-flat abdomen.
If the child was Jarrodâs, Nicole would manage to get rid of it.
How could this wrench carry Jarrodâs child!
Jarrod had never been intimate with her.
Despite her attractiveness and skills in bed, Jarrod had always insisted on waiting until after their marriage.
But then, a thought struck Jamie, bringing a sly smile to her face.

It seemed even fate was on her side.
Regardless of whether the child was Jarrodâs or not, she could use this to her advantage!
Upon reading about the incident involving the Lawrence family online, Raegan immediately tried to reach Nicole.
But her calls went unanswered.
After an anxious night, Raegan decided to go to the hospital where Nicoleâs father was admitted.
There, Nicoleâs mother informed Raegan that Nicole, too, had been admitted to the hospital.
Nicole had explained to her parents beforehand that she had a minor stomach ulcer.
Upon entering Nicoleâs ward, Raeganâs gaze fell upon Nicoleâs gaunt features, and a wave of sadness washed over her.
âNicole, why have you become so thin?â she asked with concern.
Nicole weakly smiled and reassured Raegan, âItâs nothing.
Stomach ulcers can be like this.
Iâm not able to eat much and can only have liquid food.
Just think of it as a weight loss program.
