Chapter 298 Nicole Is Back

The voice sounded familiar. Jarrod's eyes welled up with instant crimson.

With his palms pressed to the ground, Jarrod struggled to rise and clasp the woman in his arms.

But at that very moment, the woman in black high heels planted her foot on the back of Jarrod's hand.

Her voice, as frigid as ice, cut through the air. "Look at yourself."

Then, she paused, twisting her high heel on the back of Jarrod's hand as if seeking to pierce his palm. "You resemble a stray dog now!"

With those words, she sauntered away in her black high heels.

"Nicole!" In the end, Jarrod managed to cry out her name. "Don't abandon me!"

His mouth was tinged with blood, his voice raw and ragged.

The blue luxury car's taillight flickered before him, casting a more pitiful shadow upon him.

"Stay." His plea was engulfed by the car's roaring departure. "Please don't leave

me...

Tears welled up in Jarrod's eyes and streamed down his cheeks as he screamed into the wind.

Yet, there was no response.

Not until Alec arrived.

For the remainder of the night, Alec drove Jarrod all over Ardlens in a relentless quest for Nicole.

The following morning, the sun graced the horizon with its presence.

Alec hesitated before speaking. "Mr. Schultz, you must be suffering from a hangover after all that drinking. Perhaps some medication will help you feel

better."

In truth, Alec suspected that Jarrod might have had a hallucination during his binge drinking. After all, Nicole had been gone for five long years.

Jarrod sat in the rear seat, his black shirt smudged with mud, his handsome countenance overtaken by an unmistakable disappointment.

Gazing at the bloody stain on the back of his hand, he insisted, "I'm certain

she's returned."

Hearing those words, Alec continued to harbor doubts about Jarrod's perception. If Nicole were truly alive, then who was the lifeless body resting in Jarrod's residence?
