Chapter 204
Stay Here The people on the yacht rescued Nicole first.
Then, they immediately returned to the water to retrieve Jarrod, who was covered in blood.
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know what had happened just now.
All she remembered was Jarrod pushed her away.
Nicole stumbled ashore in a daze.
On the other hand, the bodyguards immediately put Jarrod on a stretcher and carried him to the ambulance.
Then, they took Nicole to another ambulance.
Since Nicole was submerged in the bone-chilling water for a long time, her body was now extremely cold and weak.
When Jamie saw all this, she panicked.
She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Jamie approached the ambulance where Nicole was and saw that Nicole was unharmed.
Jarrod saved Nicole at that critical moment! Therefore, Jarrod was injured and covered in blood.
Driven by jealousy, Jamie raised her hand without hesitation, wanting to slap Nicole.
Jamie warned, "If anything happens to Jarrod, I will not let you go.” Nicole grabbed Jamie's wrist.
With a cold face, she said through clenched teeth, "Jamie, who fired that spear just now? It was you, right?” Nicole looked at Jamie intently.
"You want to finish me, right?” Jamie panicked at once.
"What are you talking about? I just wanted to help Jarrod drive away those fierce fish.
If anything happens to him, you will be doomed!" Nicole sneered, “If anything happens to him, it's worth it even if] die.” Without Jarrod, Nicole thought her parents might be able to live a good life.
It was a fair bargain even if she died.
Despite being weak, Nicole somehow summoned some strength within her upon learning Jamie wanted to end her yet accidentally hurt Jarrod.
Jamie failed to break free from Nicole's grip and could only stomp her feet angrily.
"How dare you curse Jarrod! Just wait and see.
Once he wakes up, he will get even with you.” Nicole shook off Jamie’s hand and said mockingly, "Jamie, I wish Jarrod would protect you for the rest of your life." "What do you mean?" Jamie asked in confusion.
Nicole repeated her last sentence.
Then she closed her eyes, feeling exhausted.
What did she mean? She wanted to tell Jamie that after Jarrod went to hell, Jamie would be the next.
Finally, the ambulance door was closed, blocking Jamie away.
For some reason, the unfamiliar medical staff in the ambulance made Nicole feel at ease.
She soon fell into a deep sleep.
After Mitchel's accident, Hector approached Raegan with Bryce.
Bryce expressed his desire to have her as his tutor.
At first, Raegan refused.
But in the end, she was moved by Bryce's words.
He said solemnly, "Miss Hayes, | wish | could be of some use in the world.” As he spoke, his eyes were particularly sincere.
So, Raegan decided to give him another chance.
Her schedule for tutoring Bryce was Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
She spent the other days with Mitchel in the hospital.
Mitchel only recuperated for a few days before he was able to walk on his own without a wheelchair.
Mitchel didn't let Raegan shuttle between home and the hospital in the evening, thinking it was unsafe for her to do so. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He asked her to spend the nights at the hospital.
Although they shared the same bed, they had separate quilts.
Mitchel behaved himself without touching Raegan, rendering Raegan to let her guard down.
At noon, Raegan was preparing lessons at the desk in the ward.
After staring at the computer for a long time, she stood up and stretched her sore back.
Seeing that Mitchel was still working, she made a cup of nutritional drink for him and handed it to him.
Mitchel took it from her, took a sip, and looked at her with a smile.
He said, "Thank you.” His gaze faintly swept over her lips, but he didn't do anything.
For some reason, Raegan felt her lips itch.
She blamed it on his deep-set eyes, which were very affectionate.
Once caught in his gaze, it was hard to resist him.
Raegan's face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed.
To Raegan, these days somehow felt like going back to their sweet moments.
They looked more like a couple now than before.
She calmed herself down and said casually, "Take a rest if needed.
Take it easy." Suddenly, Mitchel put down the cup, grabbed Raegan's wrist, and pulled her onto his lap.
"Hey, Mitchel! What are you doing?” Raegan struggled to get up, but suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
It turned out Mitchel buried his face against her shoulder.
His arms wrapped around her tightly, and he rubbed his face against her neck.
His breath sprayed all over her neck, making Raegan turn hot.
Her heart was racing, and she unconsciously trembled.
Mitchel noticed Raegan's trembling figure.
His grip on her tightened, and his seductive voice sounded against the skin of her neck.
"Are you afraid of me?” he asked in a deep and hoarse voice, Raegan was rendered speechless.
She pursed her lips.
Well, sort of.
She feared she would get used to Mitchel’s intimacy again.
The fear stemming from her past suffering during their marriage caused by his crazy admirers still lingered, and she didn’t want to experience it again.
"Don't be afraid.
I won't do it," Mitchel added comfortingly.
He knew after all that happened, she still had lingering fear in her heart, and he could not push it when chasing after her.
To rekindle their past passion and remarry her, he knew he was supposed to inject a sense of security in her gradually when getting along with each other.
Though he was horny when she was in sight, he had to suppress his desire first and take it slow.
As long as she felt comfortable with him being at her side and trusted him again, he could proceed to the next step.
However, it was never a piece of cake.
He felt like he could no longer restrain himself.
His overflowing desire for her was killing him.
Especially at night when he looked at her peaceful sleeping face.
The fact that he couldn't make love with her made him feel like thousands of ants were crawling all over his body.
He was itching.
He wanted her.
He was dying to possess her.
Mitchel felt like he had exhausted all his patience in this lifetime in just a few days in the ward.
After a while, he let Raegan go.
He looked at her and explained, "I am energetic again after hugging you." Raegan felt his gaze was overwhelming.
She could not stand it, so she looked away shyly.
"Just call me if you need anything.” Mitchel knew her well, and he was aware that she was only pretending to be calm.
Although she said so, she didn’t dare to look into his eyes at all as if he was some kind of a monster, and she was afraid to get close.
His lips curved into a faint smile.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
Suddenly, a loud bang broke the silence in the ward.
The door was kicked open.
Then, Alexis stormed in and shouted angrily, "You bastard! You've grown some backbones, huh? So you really think you are now capable of provoking anyone?” After saying this, Alexis noticed Raegan beside the hospital bed.
His eyes narrowed, and he glared at her with a gloomy expression.
"What are you doing here? Get out!” After shouting at Raegan, Alexis turned to Mitchel and said, "What is going on with the bodyguards here? How can they let anyone in?" The disdain and contempt in Alexis’ eyes were overflowing.
Raegan had always been polite, and she was rarely despised by her elders.
She didn't want to disrespect anyone, especially Mitchel's father.
But those insulting words Alexis said to her a few days ago were still vivid in her mind.
At his words, her face turned pale, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable.
She wished she could run away from here as soon as possible.
Raegan turned around and was about to leave.
But she suddenly froze.
A crisp sound echoed in the ward.
It turned out that a crystal glass narrowly grazed Alexis' face.
It hit the wall and shattered into countless pieces on the floor.
Raegan turned around and saw Mitchel's deep-set eyes were colder and sharper than blades, staring at Alexis.
Then, Mitchel got out of bed.
His tall figure cast a shadow over Raegan’s head.
He said coldly, "Stay here!”
