Sinking into the duvet, Nicole's muffled voice rejected the offer: "I don't want it."

The painkiller he depended on was specific to his illness. Any other medication needed a doctor's approval.

Undeterred, Jarrod insisted, pulling her up. "Take it before going to sleep."

"I don't want it," Nicole repeated, shaking her head.

Ignoring her protests, Jarrod forced the pills into her mouth, causing them to get stuck in her throat.

“Ewww…” Nicole gagged, on the verge of vomiting. Jarrod was quick to offer her water, but she refused. Without any choice, he grabbed her chin, trying to pour the water into her mouth, inadvertently soaking her clothes.

Seeing Nicole's continued resistance, Jarrod resorted to taking a sip of water himself and then transferring it directly to his mouth.

With the tip of his tongue, Jarrod opened Nicole's mouth and forced her to swallow the medicine.

Nicole was so dizzy that she didn't have the strength to resist.

He didn't stop until he took a couple of pills. He pinched her cheek, angry for no reason.

"When did you get into the habit of not taking your medicine when you were sick?"

Nicole suddenly burst into laughter as tears fell down her face. It was as if he had heard something funny.

«Of course I want to take medicine. But have you forgotten that you flushed them down the toilet?

Those painkillers were the medicine that saved his life. They were very effective in relieving pain without harming your body.

She didn't know how Roscoe got the medicine. But it must have cost him a lot to get it.

Now that Jarrod had flushed the entire jar down the toilet, Nicole felt like her last hope was gone. His eyes darkened and he could no longer see any hope in life.

Jarrod unconsciously narrowed his eyes at Nicole's words.

He squeezed her face harder.

I still mistakenly thought that the pills Nicole wanted to take moments before were contraceptives. I didn't understand why she kept mentioning those pills, which could easily be found in a pharmacy.

Did she hate being pregnant with him that much?

The more Jarrod thought about it, the more determined he became to have a child with Nicole.

His first child with Nicole didn't even get the chance to see this world. Thinking of this, his eyes darkened. For the first time, she felt sorry for her unborn child.

“I got rid of those pills for your own good.”

Jarrod's cold voice sounded eerie in the stillness of the night.

Nicole's eyes immediately lost their shine. He smiled mockingly and said, “Thank you for your kindness then.”

But Jarrod didn't seem to mind her mockery at all. No matter what she said, he would never change his mind.

He would do everything he could to get Nicole pregnant again.

Jarrod and Nicole disagreed.

At that moment, Nicole felt as if a fire surged from the bottom of her heart. The flame was getting stronger.

Since she was a child, she was always kind to others. He had never hurt anyone or done anything bad. But why didn't God have mercy on her?

His father was about to undergo a major operation. I was worried because I didn't know if I would still be alive when the operation was over.

His eyes were blurry. It was as if he could no longer see any hope. He whispered, "Jarrod, have you ever thought that if I don't take those pills, I might die tomorrow?"

These words were like thousands of needles that pricked Jarrod's heart. He seemed numb with pain.

He looked at Nicole with a serious face. He was about to scold her when she suddenly said mockingly, “But if I really die tomorrow, you can take it as a wedding gift to yourself from me, right?”

Nicole ignored the solemn expression on his face. And her words were more of a mockery of herself.

«If it comes to that, the anniversary of the death of the person you hate the most coincides with your wedding anniversary. Well, I have to say it looks good on you.

Nicole had never been as talkative as she was now.

Tonight, he simply said what came to mind without hesitation.

As he listened to her, the anger in Jarrod's heart surged. But his back was covered in cold sweat.

The room was as warm as spring, but he felt a chill in his heart.

Jarrod could no longer allow himself to listen to Nicole's assumptions about his death. His words were like countless needles pricking his heart.

Suddenly he stood up and said through clenched teeth: “Stop it! Don't expect me to sympathize with those words.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Well, I know you're not easy to fool."

Hearing that, Jarrod felt relieved. I knew it. Nicole was good at lying, and he almost fell into the trap again.

He thought again of his lost son. He said in a plain tone: “As long as you are obedient, I will not let you suffer too much. You can even have a good life in the future.

The corners of Nicole's lips curled up into a smile. He replied: «Obedient? Are you asking me to become one of your lovers, Mr. Schultz?

Of course, Jarrod sensed the sarcasm in her words. His handsome face immediately darkened.

However, Nicole did not show any signs of fear. "Mr. Schultz, since you are so obsessed with my body, why don't you turn it into a mummy after I die?"

At this moment, Jarrod could no longer contain his emotions. He instantly went crazy. Why did Nicole always talk about her death?

I didn't understand why Nicole acted like that. Was it just because she hated him?

Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Nicole's thin neck and forced her to look at him. He said in a cold voice: "Do you really want to die?"
