Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 448

Nicole had a long sleep. It was already almost nine in the morning when she woke up the next day. She was so exhausted that her body desperately craved rest.

When Nicole sobered up, she realized she was already late. She rushed to the bathroom and quickly washed up. Then, she went to open the door. She found the chair she propped against the door last night was still there.

While opening the door, she recalled what happened between her and Jarrod last night. She couldn't help wondering what she would do if Jarrod refused to let her leave.

When she went out of her room, she noticed it was eerily quiet outside.

Nicole found it strange. The villa usually started to get busy at this time.

Jarrod took his medicine four times a day, and he must take one now. She wondered where the maids were. Shouldn't they be busy running around at this time?

Strangely, the villa looked deserted today. Even Alec was nowhere to be seen.

When Nicole arrived downstairs, she overheard two maids talking in the kitchen.

"What happened to Mr. Schultz? I heard noises last night. It seemed he was rushed to the hospital."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Alec found him unconscious in the bathtub. He must have been submerged in the water for a long time because when Alec pulled him out, he was so pale. He looked lifeless. It was terrifying. Alec performed CPR for half an hour before Mr. Schultz showed signs of consciousness. But he feared Mr. Schultz's brain would be damaged from lack of oxygen, so he rushed Mr. Schultz to the hospital."

Nicole was utterly shocked. So, that was it. Jarrod hadn't been able to get out of the bathtub last night. That explained the silence when she left last night. He must have passed out after her attack.

At this moment, one of the maids said, "You know what? That Miss Lawrence Mr. Schultz brought home seems a jinx. Ever since she arrived, his condition worsened. He only slightly improved for a few days and then got severe again. Now, he even drowned in the bathtub. Isn't it too strange?"

"Yeah. Poor Mr. Schultz. If Alec hadn't found him, he must have been dead by now."

"Indeed, such bad luck."
