âNicole is pregnant.
And while you were unconscious, she paid off the 80 million loan.
I donât know how she got the money.
She denies the child is his, but we canât be sure,â Jamie timidly explained.
Jamie closely observed Jarrod and was satisfied when she saw his expected reaction.
Then, she dropped another bombshell.
âJarrod, her illness was a lie.
She doesnât have stomach cancer.
Itâs just ulcers.
â
âHow do you know?â
Although Jarrodâs expression remained unchanged, a crimson hue spread in his cold, ruthless eyes.
It hinted at a deep, unspoken fury that made others shiver.
âCome in,â Jamie beckoned to someone outside.
A young nurse then entered.
âThis nurse cared for Nicoleâs parents.
Ask her.
â
Jarrod stared at the nurse with an icy gaze and commanded, âThink carefully before you speak.
â
The nurse felt as if her soul was gripped by Jarrodâs presence.
She feared that a single misstep could be her undoing.
She didnât dare to fabricate a story and told Jarrod what she had heard.
âMiss Lawrence told her parents that she only had stomach ulcers.
Iâm not lying.
You can go to their ward and verify.
â
In fact, those were Nicoleâs words to comfort her parents.
Little did she know Jamie would twist them so.
Jamie dismissed the nurse and called in the surgeon Jarrod had met before.
âDoctor, please tell Jarrod about Miss Lawrenceâs condition,â Jamie ordered.
With trembling hands, the doctor handed Jarrod the diagnostic report.
âMiss Lawrence has stomach ulcers.
She paid me to tell others she had stomach cancer.
Iâm deeply sorry for the misunderstanding.

Jarrodâs expression turned even colder.
Jamie expected a burst of anger, but to her surprise, Jarrod erupted into laughter.
âSo, you still think youâre qualified to be a doctor?â
His laughter was devoid of any warmth.
The doctor, weakened by Jarrodâs laughter, stuttered, âI⦠I know I was wrong.
Please, show some mercy.
It was her doing⦠Her faultâ¦â
Jarrodâs hand shot out and gripped the doctorâs throat with an iron-like grip.
âYou are not deserving of being a doctor!â
Clap! Jarrod delivered a slap across the doctorâs face.
As if that wasnât enough, he forcefully threw the doctor to the ground, leaving the latter writhing in agony.
Lastly, Jarrod turned to Alec and ordered, âVerify his story.
If itâs true, make sure he can never use his hands again.
