Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1277

Noticing Samuel's grim expression, Nicole associated this new information with her experience of being poisoned with bugs.

She thought that she was pregnant but was in fact poisoned. As a result, her health was undermined.

Nicole's eyes turned cold.

So it was Aaron!

Back then, she didn't think that Viola was capable of doing it. That's why she thought it was Major's doing. However, she never thought that it had something to do with Aaron.

In other words, Aaron and Major were on the same side, or were they cooperating?

This thought made Nicole's expression turn cold.

While looking after Jarrod, Amelia also paid attention to Nicole and Samuel. When she noticed their cold gazes, she became vigilant.

"What do you want to do? Mr. Aaron's men are outside. It I scream, none of you would be able to leave."

"I mean no harm to him."

Samuel tried to explain.

Now Jarrod quieted down. He seemed to have fallen asleep, but his state made one worried.

Having mixed feelings, Samuel couldn't help walking over.

He remembered seeing Jarrod crying in front of Vincent's tombstone.

Jarrod was not that cold-blooded after all.

When Samuel got closer, Amelia was put on full alert. Nicole pulled her to sit down aside. Still, Amelia fixed her eyes on Samuel. She was ready to fight if he did anything to Jarrod.

Samuel smiled at Amelia's nervousness and said, "You are very loyal to him."

Amelia said nothing, and her mood was not affected by Samuel. She kept staring at him.

Samuel ignored Amelia, and took a look at the wounds on Jarrod's body.

There were many scars, both new and old. And most of them were cuts.

When seeing the new wound on Jarrod's chest, Samuel seemed to understand.

Did Jarrod always cut himself to take out the bugs?

Had he gone mad?

Or had he thought that he was immortal?

Samuel's eyes turned red, and his mood became gloomy.

Among him and his two brothers, only Vincent lived an easy life, which was unfortunately very short. In a way of speaking, they were fellow sufferers.

Jarrod helped him, knowing that he himself would be severely punished. Whether it was a sympathy-getting ploy or a sincere help, Samuel's heart was softened.

"Let's take him with us. If Aaron doesn't treat him well, then he'd better come back to me."

After finishing speaking, Samuel shouldered Jarrod, but then heard a moan.

"Are you trying to make it worse for me now that I'm still alive? Samuel, I'm not your man. What do you mean by saying 'come back to me'?"

Jarrod's voice was low and weak. Still, the words stunned the three people present.

"Mr. Jarrod!"

Amelia broke free from Nicole and rushed over.

"Mr. Jarrod, are you awake? Does it still hurt? I'll go and find you some painkillers. I..."

"Shut up! You are noisy."

Jarrod let out a low roar and frowned.

Amelia immediately shut her mouth, but her eyes were filled with worry and concern.

Jarrod ignored her, but looked up at Samuel.

Samuel's eyes were cold and his face was expressionless, but Jarrod thought that he was very cute and warm at this time.

"Why are you here?"

"I come to see if you're dead. If you are, I'll bury you. I've prepared a tomb for you beside Vincent's. Then Vincent won't feel lonely down there."

Samuel said with a cold face. Yet, his icy tone made Jarrod grin.

"You really want me dead, don't you? Samuel, put me down. You can't get out. It's impossible for you to double back. There must be barricades now. The forest that you entered through is probably under control. If you don't try to leave, you can survive. Otherwise, you'll die. Who will bury me then?"

Jarrod coughed and struggled to get free from Samuel.

Seeing this, Amelia hurriedly supported him.

"Mr. Jarrod."

Jarrod glanced at her.

"Why are you in such a state? You look ugly."

Hearing this, Amelia lowered her head and said, "It's for the sake of convenience. I can better walk around in the forest in this dress."

"Help me sit down."

Amelia did as she was told. Samuel left Jarrod to Amelia and walked to Nicole's side, holding her in his arms.

Nicole leaned against him and smiled, "I think he's right. This place is safe. Aaron would never have thought that we would be here."

"Yes. Let's take a rest."

Samuel helped Nicole sit down and handed her a hardtack.

"Eat this so you can replenish your strength."
