Ch. 1031..1035: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1031-1035

Chapter 1031

"Grandpa met with a car accident."

" will go with you."

"Okay."

Jared drove Nicole's Lamborghini and sped toward the hospital.

In the emergency room, the doctors were struggling to save Mr.Johnston Sr.Jared and Nicole looked through the glass and saw Mr.Johnston Sr.lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"How did this happen?" Jared asked the family butler with a sullen look on his face.

"Mr.Johnston Sr.said he was going to go outside for a walk, and I got a call from the hospital not long after he went out, and then..."

The family butler could not figure out why until now.

Just then, a nurse in the operating room ran out.

"Who is the patient's family?"

"I am.How is my grandpa?" Jared asked.

"The patient is badly injured, and the doctor said the patient needs to undergo surgery.Please sign here."

The nurse handed a consent form to Jared.

"Who is the chief surgeon?" Jared asked.

"It is Dr.Robertson."

"Which Dr.Robertson?"

"The best surgeon in the hospital."

The nurse finished and turned to walk back into the operating room.

Looking at Jared's anxious demeanor, Nicole reassured him, saying, "Your grandpa will be fine.Let's wait over there."

Nicole brought Jared to a chair and sat down.

Just then, someone came up from a distance.

"What happened to Mrs.Johnston Sr.?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHenry asked the family butler.

"He has been in a car accident."

"A car accident?"

Henry looked at the family butler with a shocked face.He then swept a glance at Jared and Nicole sitting at the side.

"Get me the best doctor in the hospital.I have to save Dad." Henry talked loudly in the hallway.

"Be quiet!" Jared shouted.He already had enough headaches, and he could not stand Henry's impudent behavior.

"How do you talk to your uncle like this? Now that your grandpa is in the operating room fighting for his life.How can you still sit here?"

Henry shot back.

Jared looked up at him with a knife-like look in his eyes.

Henry did not dare to look at him but turned to reprimand the family butler.

Half an hour passed, and the surgeon came out of the operating room with asad look on his face.

Jared went over to him and asked, "How is my grandpa?"

"I'm really sorry I wasn't able to save the patient.So go in and see him for one last time while he is still breathing." Dr.Robertson said, glanced at Henry, and left.

Nicole looked at her watch; this surgeon only went in for less than half an hour and then came out to declare the patient dying.

Plus, the way he had looked at Henry, she felt something was wrong.

But there was no time to think, as Mr.Johnston Sr.was still lying on the operating table.So she hurried in.

Jared and Henry saw Mr.Johnston Sr.lying on the operating table and called out a few times without getting an answer from him.

"Jared, we did our best.Let your grandpa go in peace."

Henry tried to persuade Jared to leave.

"If you have something to do, leave first," Jared replied coldly.

"You, alas, I will go talk to the hospital about what we should do next," Henry said and left after giving Mr.Johnston Sr.another look.

Nicole went to Mr.Johnston Sr"s side and checked his injuries.She found that only one of the injuries was life-threatening but not incurable, as the doctor had claimed.

"Jared, don't be upset yet.I think your grandpa should be in a coma.You go out and rest for a while, while I will heal your grandpa," Nicole said with a serious look on her face.

Chapter 1032

Jared looked back at Nicole without a hint of surprise.

"You don't have to comfort me.I just want to stay here with Grandpa for a little while longer." Nicole took his hand.

"I mean it.Time is running out."

Seeing Nicole's serious expression, Jared walked out of the operating room without a word.

"Martin, where are you?" Nicole's urgent voice came through the phone.

"I'm at the hospital."

"Great.Come help me in the operating room on the thirteenth floor right away."

"The operating room? You're hurt?" Martin asked nervously.

"It is not me.You will know when you come over."

"Okay, I will be right there."

Martin left what he was doing and ran to the elevator, and headed to the operating room as fast as he could.

"Mr.Johnston? What are you doing here?"

Martin saw Jared sitting in a chair outside the operating room.Jared looked up at him without saying a word.Martin pushed the door open and walked in.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

"Nicole, I saw Mr.Johnston outside.Who is it that needs surgery?"

The next second, he was shocked to see Mr.Johnston Sr.on the operating table.

"How could this happen?"

"Mr.Johnston Sr.had a car accident.I have to operate on him now.Can you be my assistant?"

Nicole believed in no one in the hospital except Martin.

"Yeah.But can you?"

Martin could not believe that Nicole would operate.

"Have you forgotten who changed the data of your experiment last time?"

Martin furrowed his brows as he recalled what had happened back then.

"I will call in some more nurses," Martin called all the people he was close to.

Soon, several nurses came into the operating room.

"Let's get started." Nicole was ready to go.

"Scalpel."

Outside the operating room, Jared sat in the chair and watched as the nurses went in, and the light of the operating room came on again.

He took a long breath.

A long time passed, and Henry came back again with a group of people.He became suspicious when he saw the light of the operating room had lit up again.

"Jared, what's going on in there?" Henry asked.

"Nicole is performing the surgery," Jared said in an icy voice.

"Nicole? What does a little girl like her know about surgery?"

Henry instantly exploded at the sound of that.

The people behind him rushed toward the operating room ina swarm, and before they could reach the door, a loud rebuke rang out.

"No one gets in there."

Jared swept his eye at those people, and they all froze in place, not daring to take a step forward.

Max walked over and stood at the door of the operating room, looking at everyone with cold eyes as if he would break the leg of anyone taking a step forward.

In the operating room, Nicole heard the noise outside and frowned.

"Do you want me to check it out?" Martin asked.

"No.Continue the surgery."

Nicole collected her mind, calming herself down, and kept doing what she was doing.

Martin looked at Nicole's technique and felt that it was familiar as if he had seen it somewhere.

Chapter 1033

"Jared, what are you doing?"

Henry looked back at Jared.

"Uncle Henry, you better bring your men and leave before my patience runs out," Jared said in a morose voice.

Henry could see that Jared meant it, and he did not dare to challenge him.He glanced at the operating room, thinking that a little girl like Nicole would only make things worse and cause Mr.Johnston Sr.to die even faster.

He grunted in anger and then spun around and led his men to leave.

The hallway became quiet again after Henry and his men left, and the light of the operating room was still on.

"Max, how long has Nicole been in there?"

Jared looked at him.

"Miss Riddle has been in there for about an hour."

Max looked at the time.

Jared took a deep breath, stood up, and started pacing the hallway.

As time passed, beads of sweat popped up on Nicole's forehead.

A nurse saw that and wiped them off for her.

Again, a long time had passed and Max's voice rang out.

"Mr.Johnston, the light is out."

Jared and the family butler immediately came forward, anxious eyes looking inside.

After a while, Nicole and Martin came out.

"How is my grandfather?"

Jared took Nicole's hand and looked into her eyes, trying to get an answer from inside.

"Your grandpa.is fine." Nicole sighed in relief.

"Really?"

Jared was in disbelief at hearing what Nicole said.

"Really."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMartin reaffirmed what Nicole said.Jared looked at Martin for a moment and then at Nicole with grateful eyes.

"I can't believe you have saved my grandpa.Thank you."

"It is what I should do."

"Nicole, I think I have seen your technique somewhere before." Martin tried hard to remember.

"You've seen it before?"

Nicole glanced at Martin.She had never used this technique anywhere else; this was the first time.So she wondered how Martin had seen it before.

"I remember it now; this surgical technique is a secret creation of the world's top doctor, James Dade.No one else, except for his student Ghost Hand, knows this technique.Where did you learn it? "

Martin suddenly remembered a foreign case he had read, which briefly described some of Ghost Hand's surgical techniques.

"James Dade? Ghost Hand?" Jared looked at Martin in surprise.

"You have also heard of it?"

Martin looked at Jared.

"Yeah, I heard that James Dade is an internationally recognized top surgeon, and his disciple Ghost Hand is the one who has the highest attainment in medicine after him."

Jared had only heard of their deeds but had not seen the real person.

"I can't believe that you guys also know James Dade and Ghost Hand and even know his techniques."

Nicole did not answer Martin's question directly.

"They are god-like beings, the pinnacle of the medical world.It would be my greatest honor if I could meet either of them."

"Nicole, you still haven't told me where you learned that technique?" Martin had no intention of leaving her alone.

"Well, since you've seen it, I will tell you honestly.I am Ghost Hand," Nicole said calmly as she looked at them.

"You are Ghost Hand?"

The two looked at Nicole in shock and disbelief.

"You don't believe me?"

Nicole could see their disbelief.

"Unbelievable indeed."

Martin looked at Nicole and murmured.

"You don't believe me either?" Nicole asked Jared.

"I believe you, even if no one does."

Jared looked at her affectionately, not expecting that his fiancée was the famous Ghost Hand.

Just then, a nurse pushed Mr.Johnston Sr.out of the operating room.Jared walked over to check on him.

"Your grandpa is still in a coma, but he is out of life-threatening condition.Let's get him to the ICU."

Nicole walked over and took Jared's hand to comfort him.Jared nodded.

Chapter 1034

Henry returned to his office with the thinking that Mr.Johnston Sr.could no longer speak for Jared.

"Castor, spread the news about your grandpa's accident right away.The sooner, the better."

Henry wanted to teach Jared a lesson for being arrogant all this time.He then called all the directors of the company.

The next day, Jared was on his way to the company when Max sent him the news of Mr.Johnston Sr"s accident.

[Johnston Group's chairman died in an accident.] Jared stared at the headline on his phone.

Just then, acall came in, and it was Henry.

"How long before you arrive at the company? The board members have something to discuss with you."

Henry sounded excited on the phone.

Jared seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"Max, drive faster."

"Yes, Mr.Johnston."

Max sped up the car at once and soon arrived and stopped in front of the Johnston Group building.

Jared strode ahead toward the conference room.He came to the front of the conference table and sat down, his eyes scanning everyone at the table, where no one dared to meet his gaze.

Henry saw everyone lowering their heads, and he took the lead by saying, "Jared, all the board members are here today because they are concerned about Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition.You were the last to leave yesterday.So why don't you tell everyone?"

Jared swept a glance at Henry, who was speaking, and then looked at everyone else.

"On behalf of the chairman, I would like to thank you for your concern.You should have seen the news today.I assume you are all here today not only because of the news but also because you were compelled to come."

Speaking of this, Jared glanced at Henry.

"The news is not true.The chairman's condition has been effectively controlled, now placed under observation, so you don't need to be overly nervous," Jared said pointedly.

Hearing what Jared said, Henry was instantly wide-eyed.

‘That is impossible.I clearly saw Dad was about to breathe his last yesterday.No way he would get well.What happened?' He sat in his chair, thinking, and did not hear Jared talking to him.

"Henry, what are you thinking about?" Jared called his name.

Henry now came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

"Nothing.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThis is just clickbait to get attention.I will deal with them good and proper."

"Since you have said so, I will leave the matter to you."

Jared took this opportunity to pass on the PR damage control task to Henry.

The chickens had come home to roost for him.

"Jared, we are sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident, and we are relieved to hear that the chairman is fine.But someone must carry out the chairman's duty in his absenceSo perhaps we should first appoint an acting chairman to carry out the chairman's duty and ensure the company can run smoothly until the chairman fully recovers and can preside over the board of directors again."

A director, a senior-aged man, proposed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room was abuzz with discussion, and voices of agreement abounded.

Jared looked at the people in the conference room and knew that Henry was determined to win this time.

"What is everyone's opinion?" Jared asked.

"I agree with Mr.Holden's suggestion.After all, the board of directors can't function without someone presiding over it."

Mr.Pearce looked at Jared and said calmly.

"Yes.I also agree with Mr.Holden.The board can't function well without someone presiding over it."

Chapter 1035

In Mr.Pearce's lead, many board members agreed with Mr.Holden's statement.

"Well, since everyone agrees with Mr.Holden, then let's raise our hands and vote for an acting chairman."

Jared was alone and could only preside according to the majority opinion now.

"Max, you will preside over the election of the acting chairman," Jared said.

"Okay."

"I will call out the names of the board members in order, and everyone will raise their hands to vote.We will elect the one with the most votes as the acting chairman." Max announced the voting rules.

"Starting with Jared, all those who vote for Jared as acting chairman raise their hands.Jared has eight votes."

"All those who vote for Mr.Holden as acting chairman raise their hands.Mr.Holden, four votes."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

"Raise your hand for Mr.Pearce as acting chairman.Three votes for Mr.Pearce."

"All those who vote for Henry to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.Henry has twelve votes."

"All those who voted for Mr.Campbell to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.-Mr.Campbell five votes."

"Finally, I announce Henry will act as acting chairman of the company in the absence of Mr.Johnston Sr.," Max announced.

The room erupted in applause as Henry stood up pretentiously to look at those who had elected him.

"I hope that during my time as acting chairman, we can work together to boost our company's performance before I hand back the helm to Mr.Johnston Sr.Thank you all, especially to Jared, for his support."

Henry did not forget to take a jab at Jared.

"Then we will all look forward to Henry's highlight reel."

Jared deliberately flattered Henry by repeating his promise, meaning to remind everyone to monitor him together, which would make his every move more transparent.

The meeting ended, and Jared left the room first.

Henry and his cohorts were talking loudly and joyfully in the room.He was now the acting chairman.

The entire group had to listen to him, and Jared could no longer flex his muscles in front of him like before.

Back in the office, Max could not help but say, "Mr.Johnston, Henry is clearly trying to take advantage of the opportunity to usurp the position.Why did you let him do what he wanted?"

Max just watched Henry's smug look in the conference room and felt like punching him in the face.He could not stand that Henry was too eager to usurp the position while his father was ill.He felt Henry was abominable, like those rebellious ministers in ancient times.

"You just saw it; those are his men.That those weasels were sitting there meant they had come prepared.Even if I could stop them today, there is tomorrow and the day after.One day, they are going to make things even worse, and then it will be hard to control."

Jared was avoiding a head-on collision with Henry now.

During a time when Mr.Johnston Sr.was still in intensive care, angering him would make things worse.

"So, what do we do now? We are only halfway through the cooperation with Martin."

Max was worried that Henry would cause trouble for Jared.

"We will go ahead with the cooperation with Martin.You tell Claus to speed up the process and come up with a revenue analysis as soon as possible.Even if there are objections, as long as we have the data in hand, those directors are not stupid, and they won't let a wonderful project go by without seizing it.They won't sacrifice their wallet to help Henry."

In Jared's eyes, those people's minds were like exhibits in front of him; he knew them too well.
