[Chapter 152]
Caught off guard, Nicole stumbled backward when Jarrod shoved her.
Her heel got stuck in the emergency exit door, causing her to fall hard onto the concrete.
The sound of her falling was a muffled thud, making it clear she'd taken a heavy fall.
Just as Nicole was gearing up to unleash a string of curses, a soft feminine voice wafted in from the outside.
"Jarrod, what brings you here?" It was unmistakably Jamie's voice.
Switching his attention from the door to Jamie, Jarrod answered softly, "I'm visiting a friend.
What's got you in the hospital?" Jamie caught a faint whiff of shower gel, and for a fleeting moment, her eyes flashed with barely noticeable malice.
"I'm a bit lightheaded, so I came to get checked out." Jamie leaned against Jarrod's chest.
Jarrod gave her a quick look and asked, "Feeling worn out?" Without waiting for her response, he scooped her up into his arms.
