My Wife is a Hacker novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Shawn nodded as he looked down. Mr. Rogers Sr. did not notice the faint mockery in his eyes and thought that he did not mind his rough language earlier. Thus he liked this son even more in his heart.

He got Shawn to sit on the sofa beside him as he looked on anxiously in the direction of the main door.

Just as Mr. Rogers Sr. wanted to get up to go to the door, the main door of the manor was opened as the two men he sent hurriedly walked in.

Mr. Rogers Sr. looked over with some agitation, yet when he saw no one behind them, his entire expression turned icy.

“Give me a good reason. Why didn’t you two bring Nicole back?” The two bodyguards looked at his terrifying expression, and even the muscular-looking man’s voice trembled as he spoke. 

“We wanted to bring Miss Riddle over, but we ran into Mr. Johnston.”

‘‘Mr. Johnston?’

 ‘Which Mr. Johnston?’  The bodyguard said cautiously, “The very person you told us that we cannot afford to offend.”

Mr. Rogers Sr.’s expression immediately changed. He recalled Jared had left with Nicole during his birthday banquet. He had already started being suspicious about their relationship since then.

He did not expect Jared was still being ambiguous with Nicole.

In fact, after the Johnston family drew a distance away from the Riddle family, the Riddle family had never announced to the outside world that they had arranged a marriage between two babies. 

Shawn quickly walked to Mr. Rogers Sr.’s side as he gently patted the latter on the back, helping him to calm down. Mr. Rogers Sr. grabbed Shawn’s hand as he let out a long sigh. His voice was finally filled with the powerlessness and vicissitudes of an old man.

“Shawn, tell me, why is it so difficult for a person to want to live?” A glint appeared in Shawn’s eyes as he let out a faint smile and said somewhat impassively,” Dad, you’ll definitely live a long life.” 

This was both ambiguous yet sincere at the same time. Mr. Rogers Sr. ignored Shawn’s avoidance of his question. He knew his body very well. 

He had already finished the medicine Nicole had given him, and he actually felt that he was getting weaker by the day as if something was slicing at his heart. He had already seen many doctors, at home and abroad, and Nicole may very well be his last hope.

Nicole may very likely hold clues to that mysterious overseas doctor with her. The reason he was so obsessed with her was that he wanted to get those clues from her. 

Yet now, as he looked at his two hands, Mr. Rogers Sr. felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.
