Chapter 2552
Nicole also harbored a desire to gauge Jarrod’s response to the presence of another man in her life.
Jarrod always exuded selfishness and dominance, possessing a palpable sense of possessiveness.
Despite Jarrod’s assurances of compromise and willingness to let her go after the child’s birth, Nicole harbored doubts about his sincerity.
Thus, she sought to observe his reaction.
In the silver car, Jarrod’s fists clenched tightly at the sight of Rhett in Nicole’s company.
But soon, he slowly relaxed.
He understood the imperative of enduring and avoiding any mistakes at this moment.
Jarrod knew Nicole’s openness to discussion indicated there was still a chance to negotiate.
Jarrod reached out to the sanatorium to find out what had happened.
The staff provided him with a detailed understanding of the events.
After ending the call, Jarrod was silent for a moment before exhaling deeply.
Only God knew how he had managed to get through these days.
The abortion pills were with Nicole, and Jarrod was constantly anxious, fearing she might take them at any moment, a decision that would be final.
Even though he had made threats, he could sense his own uncertainty.
Besides, Nicole was not someone who would be easily frightened by threats.
Instead, she was disobedient and unwilling to compromise.
This stubbornness would have been admirable in someone else, but with Nicole, Jarrod had repeatedly crushed her spirit until all her pride faded away.
If Nicole had been anyone else, she might have admitted defeat by now.
Yet, she managed to thrive against all odds.
Did Jarrod regret his past actions? Yes, he certainly did… Now, all he could hope for was to keep their child.
He wished that the improvement in Nicole’s mother’s health would positively influence Nicole, softening her heart and persuading her to keep the baby.
Upon returning home, Nicole received an unexpected phone call.
It was Dr.
Kash Torres, who had seen her during her last visit.
“Hello, Dr.
Torres,” Nicole greeted.
“Miss Lawrence, hello.
You didn’t show up today.
If you have taken the medication for the three past days, you should come to the hospital today.
Otherwise, it poses threats to your body,” Kash expressed his concern.
He often saw patients who neglected their prescribed medication, only seeking medical help when complications like bleeding arose, endangering their health.
“I haven’t taken any of the medication,” Nicole replied.
“You haven’t? That’s good to hear.
So, have you decided to keep the baby?” Kash asked.
“I’m still considering it.
Thank you for caring,” Nicole replied.
“If you decide to keep the baby, please come in for a checkup.
The child is innocent, and if it’s within your ability, I hope you’ll think it over and give the baby a chance,” Kash advised.
Nicole felt a stir of emotion from the doctor’s earnest words.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“I understand.
Thank you, Dr.
Torres,” she responded.
After ending the call, Nicole glanced at the medication lying on the table, pausing briefly before carefully storing it away in a drawer.
The following day, as Nicole was about to step out, she was confronted by a woman at her doorstep.
The woman, exuding confidence, asked, “Are you Nicole?” She was a middle-aged woman.
“Yes, who are you?” Nicole asked, her brow furrowed.
“Me?” Hallie scoffed.
“I’m Jarrod’s cousin, Doreen’s mother.
”
Nicole quickly sensed that Hallie wasn’t here with good news.
It was clear she had come with cruel intentions.
