A sweet voice sounded behind him.
Jarrod spun around to find Jamie standing behind him. Thinking she might not
appreciate the smell of his cigarette, he snuffed it out and tossed it.
A wave of relief washed over Jamie when she saw what he had just done. She
was confident that Jarrod would not blame her for anything, even if she had done
something as extreme as killing Nicole.
“Why are you here?” Jarrod asked with a puzzled look on his face.
ANGELA'sLIBRARY
Jamie lifted the thermal pot in her hand.
“I made you some breakfast.
It's your favorite seafood soup.”
Jarrod’s eyes twinkled. During his challenging times abroad, Jamie’s homemade
soup had been his sole comfort.
They moved to the dining area of the VIP ward and took seats at a table.
Jamie lifted the lid off the pot, filled a bowl, and passed it to him.
Jarrod accepted the bowl and downed the soup in just a few hearty gulps.
“How does it taste? Does it taste the same as the old days? ” Jamie asked while
staring at him with anticipation.
“It's delicious,” Jarrod replied.
As Jamie refilled his bowl, her hand trembled, and she ended up spilling the
soup, scalding the back of her hand.
“Ah!” she cried out in pain.
Quick as a flash, Jarrod scooped her up and made a beeline for the sink. He then
called a nurse over to apply some ointment to the burn.
While the ointment was being applied, Jamie clung to Jarrod’s shirt.
Her face was wet with tears and contorted in pain.
“What are you doing? Can't you see she’s in pain?” Jarrod snapped at the nurse.
Startled and terrified, the nurse began applying the medicine with extreme
caution.
Jarrod’s concern melted Jamie's heart. She pretended to be magnanimous and
said, “m okay, Jarrod. Don’t be so hard on her.”
Jarrod eventually calmed down.
After the nurse had applied the ointment on Jamie's hand, Jarrod headed to the
bathroom to clean the soup stains off his clothes. As he walked by the nursing
station, he overheard two nurses gossiping.
“Did you see that woman who came into the VIP ward with the handsome man
yesterday?”
