When Nicole heard this news, she was shocked and even couldn't believe it.
They had been regarding Lindo as a clue for so long, but he had been dead for more than twenty years.
How was that possible?
However, Jarrod had no need to lie.
Nicole couldn't help but miss Samuel more.
If Samuel was here, would he be able to think of some other connection?
Jarrod was also thinking about his suspicions. When he turned around and saw Nicole, he paused slightly and asked, "Samuel hasn't returned yet?"
"No. Juliana seemed to hide something from us."
Nicole told Jarrod the thing.
She was very worried about Samuel and Zoe, but it was just as Mrs. Humfrey had said, Juliana had no reason to betray Emory, so what was her intention?
"Perhaps she intended to confuse the people outside and make Aaron think that there was a spy by Emory's side and lured them out."
Nicole had thought about Jarrod's words, but she still couldn't figure it out.
"If that's the case, then Samuel and others would send us a message. However, only one bug returned and it told us to wait. I don't know if this news is true, so I'm a little worried."
Nicole frowned.
Jarrod said, "If you want to know if it's true, then let Amelia bring us in."
"You've seen Amelia's current situation. We don't know when she'll wake up. Even if she wakes up, we can't guarantee that Amelia will help us. Jarrod, I don't know about the hatred between Amelia and Aaron, but since she's so determined to take the poison, I'm afraid..."
Nicole stopped speaking.
The most difficult thing to understand in this world was feelings.
Jarrod glanced at Amelia, who was still unconscious on the bed and whispered, "She will wake up. You go back first. When she wakes up, I will call you. Take good care of yourself. Otherwise, Samuel will feel heartache."
Nicole didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that Jarrod's mood was better.
Shouldn't Aaron's matter be a blow to him?
Why did he look a little happy instead?
"Jarrod, are you alright?"
Nicole asked worriedly.
"It's fine. You can go back now."
Jarrod let her go back, and Nicole could not stay here anymore, so she could only nod and leave.
When she walked out of the ward, Jarrod directly closed the door. His attitude made Nicole somewhat depressed.
Was she so troublesome?
Now Jarrod and Amelia were the only ones left in the ward. Jarrod looked at Amelia on the bed with deep affection in his eyes.
"How long do you want to pretend? Your eyelids have moved. You've been with me for so long, but you still can't lie and disguise. Amelia, what did you learn from me these past ten years?"
Jarrod's tone carried a hint of a chuckle and affection.
After Amelia was exposed, she couldn't help but open her eyes. When she met Jarrod's smiling eyes, her heart lurched slightly.
Even after twelve years, she was still unable to resist his charm.
Only his faint smile could affect her feelings. Facing his smile, she was willing to do anything for him.
Amelia was a little angry with herself.
She suddenly turned her head and refused to look at him, as if she could forget that this person was Aaron's son and her enemy by doing this.
Jarrod was smiling, but when he saw Amelia dodging like an ostrich, his eyes darkened.
"Are you done messing around?"
His voice was clear and cold, carrying a trace of anger.
Amelia couldn't help but feel a little scared. She bit her lower lip and didn't speak.
Jarrod suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look straight into his angry eyes.
"Are you done messing around?"
"I'm not messing around! Let me go!"
Amelia's voice was hoarse, but it carried a trace of stubbornness.
Her chin hurt.
During her twelve years beside Jarrod, Jarrod rarely used violence against her. Except for the first year when he was angry with her, he was basically extremely good to her. This was the first time Amelia had seen a pair of scarlet eyes like this, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
She told herself that the person in front of her was the son of her sworn enemy, and that she should not and could not be influenced by him. But the fear rose from her heart, as if she betrayed him.
Betrayed him?
Yes.
She personally killed their child.
Jarrod probably already knew about this.
He was so fond of children and so eager for children. Even if he killed her, Jarrod probably wouldn't be able to dissolve his hatred.
Amelia had always known that Jarrod was not a kind man, and she knew better than anyone about his ruthlessness.
Over the past twelve years, Jarrod's hands had been stained with a lot of blood, and she had seen his ruthlessness so many times. However, none of his violence and cruelty targeted her.
Was he going to cripple her now?
That was right.
Amelia was slightly stunned.
And then she struggled, but Jarrod grabbed her hands with one hand.
The scorching kiss was suffocating and domineering.
Amelia struggled at the beginning, but in the end, she compromised and indulged Jarrod.
Forget it.
Whatever.
Amelia gave up resisting, making Jarrod somewhat furious.
Was it so afflictive to stay by his side?
They had feelings for each other, and it wasn't him who killed her entire family. Why would he pay for everything?
Why?
Jarrod suddenly let go of Amelia. He angrily kicked the stool in front of him away, making a loud noise.
Amelia was so frightened that she trembled. She looked at Jarrod who was furious in a trance.
It was as if she had never seen Jarrod being so emotional.
"Mr. Jarrod, you..."
"You'd better shut up, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really kill you!"
Jarrod suddenly turned around. The scarlet red in his eyes startled Amelia.
Her face was so pale that it was so annoying.
Jarrod took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
He was not angry with Amelia, but with himself.
"Why did you let Aaron go? He's your sworn enemy. Why did you let him go? Neither Samuel nor Nicole will let him go. Why did you do it? Why did you expose yourself?"
Jarrod tried his best to stabilize his breathing.
When Amelia heard Jarrod's question, she was slightly stunned. Then, she bitterly smiled and said, "Samuel and Nicole will not let Aaron off, but they will not kill him either. They would hand him over to the police or the military, and even after interrogation, he would suffer only a single bullet. His hands were stained with too many sins. Why could he die so easily? This was the best outcome. If Nicole and Samuel did not keep an eye on him and he was rescued, when would they catch Aaron again? I've been waiting for twelve years, and every night I dream that my relatives are crying at me and asking me why I haven't avenged them. I'm already thirty. I don't have much time for another twelve years. "
Amelia's tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Do you know how I felt when I was sent to you as your 18-year-old present? I was going to serve my enemy's son and live without dignity. Do you know how I lived that year?"
"I know."
Jarrod's eyes suddenly darkened. Amelia was stunned by his words.
"You know? What do you know? You don't know anything!"
