Chapter 1415
Noticing that Nicole looked rather anxious, Martin said. “Sure.
Don’t worry about it. I’ll see to it right now. Just rest up here and wait for my update.”
“I’ll leave it to you then,” Nicole said, giving Martin a look of appreciation
“Yeah,” Martin said. “Don’t you just sit there all the time. Take care of yourself. He still needs your care.”
This was the most he had spoken to her in the past few days.
“I know,” she replied. “I’ll get back to bed in a bit.”
“Alright, I’ll go settle that matter then,” Martin said, after which he got up and left the ward.
Nicole saw him off, and after talking to Jared for a little while longer, she got back onto her bed. However, instead of resting, she turned her laptop on and continued to crack the codes as required by the mission.
Hours passed, and with her attention all focused on the computer, she did not even realize that it was already dark outside.
It was then that Max pushed the door open and saw Nicole on the computer, prompting him to say, “Good evening, Miss Riddle.
How about catching a break and having some dinner first?”
Max brought her dinner over to her and placed it on the table.
It was only then that Nicole looked at him. “When did you come?”
During the night, Nicole heard the sound of a nurse pushing the door open. She took a glance and did not pay too much mind as she then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Seeing that Nicole had not woken up, the nurse quietly walked up to Jared and took a look. When she saw that he was not displaying any signs of regaining consciousness anytime soon, she quietly unplugged the power cord of one of the equipment before cautiously making her way to Nicole’s side.
When she saw that Nicole was still fast asleep, she took a new bottle of IV drip and exchanged it for her. She took a deep look at Nicole thereafter, before whirling around and making a beeline for the exit.
Just as she was about to open the door, Martin walked in, and the two met at the door.
Martin, who did not recognize the nurse, asked, “Which department are you from? Why have I never seen you before?”
“I’m from the medical department, but I was not in charge of Mr. Jared’s room. The nurse-in-charge has fallen ill today, so I stepped in to take over,” the nurse said, not daring to look at Martin.
Martin furrowed his brows. ‘Why was I not informed that Lilian was sick?’
