Love Unbreakable

I Don't Want To Hear Your Lies In the room, Nicole stared at the blood she had coughed up into the trash can.

Its red hue was stark and unsettling.

Not long ago, a doctor diagnosed her with a severe gastric ulcer and warned her of a_ potential progression to stomach cancer if not treated promptly.

Recently, she had been frequently drinking with her potential clients.

Nicole had become known as someone who could handle an impressive amount of alcohol.

However, it was not that she never got drunk.

The truth was, she often retreated to the bathroom to vomit and maintain her sobriety.

Otherwise, she would seem vulnerable when alone.

The routine of forced vomiting and enduring acid reflux had inflicted significant damage on her stomach.

The doctor recommended she run a_ further examination tomorrow.

She must admit, she was terrified about the result.

What if she had stomach cancer? She was an only child, and her parents were not in good condition.

If they learned she was ill, it might be a blow to them.

Nicole forcefully pushed these worries aside.

With that, she tidied up the trash can, concealed its contents with waste paper, and masked the odor with an alr freshener.

With that, she prepared several dishes and waited for Jarrod to return.

Knowing Jarrod usually arrived home late, she delayed cooking.

Almost immediately after sending him a message, she received his reply that he would be home in ten minutes.

"Home?" Nicole mused.

This word echoed in her mind as she read his message.

Jarrod's home with her? This was merely a place for him to get laid with her.

At the shopping mall today, Raegan seemed to want to say something but stopped on a second thought.

Nicole figured Raegan must be worried about her after seeing her bruises and scars.

To ease Raegan's worry, Nicole assured her Jarrod was easily fooled by her and that there was no need to worry about her.

In all honesty, even Nicole did not believe her own words.

She resented Jarrod.

If it were not for him, the Lawrence family's business would not have suffered, sparing her from the obligation of drinking with clients.

After all, this was the very cause of her illness.

But ever since she confessed her love for him, Jarrod's behavior had somewhat surprised her.

While still intense in the bed, he rarely degraded her now.

There were times when they interacted like any normal couple, and heartwarming moments, like today, happened from time to time.

Had Jarrod changed for good? Nicole did not like having such expectations.

Even if he had changed, she could not forget about Jamie's presence.

All Nicole had ever wanted was a simple and content life.

That was all.
