Ch. 1391..1395: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1391-1395

Chapter 1391

"You can wait outside. Having Martin here alone will do,” Nicole said softly.

Once Jared had heard her words, he became concerned for a bit, but he left the room nonetheless. He then took a seat on the couch and gave Max a call.

Inside the medical room, Martin looked at Nicole and softly said, "Take your hands off the wound, Nicole. Let me look at it.”

Upon hearing that, she slowly lifted her hands.

The moment he saw that Nicole's face was perfectly fine, Martin was stunned. "Your face. Why did he said you're injured?”

"Hush! Lower your voice. I'm putting up an act with Harvey, and Jared doesn’t know about it." Nicole sat up, took a napkin, and wiped the liquid off her face.

Martin glanced outside before walking up to her side and asked, "What the hell is going on?”

"You'll find out soon enough. For now, you just need to help with getting this ruse going.” Nicole shot Martin a glance before lying back down on the bed.

Looking at Nicole, Martin said in defeat, "How do you want me to help?"

"Make it as if I've been seriously injured, and do it in such a way that we can fool even Jared.”

Indeed, if the ruse could deceive Jared, it would also be clever enough to deceive Joyce, as well as others.

"This is quite a tough ask, I must say.” Martin looked at Nicole in the eye and shot her a frown.

"Don't worry. I believe that you'll be able to do it." Nicole gave Martin a look of confidence.

She believed that Martin could definitely pull it off as she could not find anyone who would be able to do this better than he could.

“Alright. I'll give it a try, I suppose," Martin said as he began planning his moves.

After sitting in the living room for a period of time, Jared grew anxious.

He walked into the medical room to peek in from outside, but unfortunately, he could see nothing, so he muttered to himself,

"What's taking them so long?"

He hesitated a little before raising his hand and knocked on the door." Martin, how's Nicole? Is she in any danger?"

The instant Martin heard Jared's query, he asked Nicole, "What should I tell him?"

"Just say that I'm in no danger, and please, ask him to calm down," she said as she looked back at him.

Martin came to the door and opened it a little as he looked at Jared. "She's in no danger. You can rest easy. I'll be done soon enough.”

Jared snuck a peek through the gap of the door that Marin had left open, and only saw the edges of Nicole's shirt, frowning grimly as he looked at Martin. "Her face..."

Martin could tell what Jared was implying, and he proceeded to give the latter a troubled look. "You'll find out once I'm done."

He then closed the door.

Looking at Martin's expression, Jared did not dare to think about what had occurred, but the more he did not wish to think about it, the more he did.

Without being aware of it, he wandered back to the living room.

Sitting down in a daze, he thought. ‘If I had accompanied Nicole at that time, things wouldn't have been as bad as they are...

Twenty minutes later, the door opened from the inside as Martin helped Nicole out.

The second Jared heard the sound of the door swinging open, he got up and made a beeline for the medical room, but as soon as he saw her, he halted, unable to proceed further; her appearance had made his heart drop

His eyes widened in shock. "How did it become so serious?!"

"I'm so sorry. I did my best," Martin said, giving Jared a look of defeat and helplessness.

Nicole was about to laugh when she saw Jared's expression, but to keep the ruse up, she could only stifle the urge to do so. Solemnly and slowly, he walked up to Nicole with a look of unmistakable pain on his face.

"Does it hurt?"

Nicole shook her head and remained silent. As she was already putting up an act, she had decided not to speak at all.

Seeing that Nicole had not given Jared a reply, Martin responded in her stead, right after shooting her a glance. "It does hurt a little, but it's nothing too serious. I gave her the best medicines I've got, so the pain will be somewhat bearable.

Chapter 1392

Jared gave Martin a glance and a slight nod. He was in a daze as he continued to look at Nicole.

"Let's bring this conversation out of here,” Martin said as the two men helped Nicole toward the couch.

The trio then took their seats on the couch, with Nicole sandwiched in the middle. She shot him a glance and blinked.

Jared did not understand what she had meant and turned to Martin.

Martin immediately explained. "Oh, she said that there's no need to worry. She's fine."

Jared looked at Martin with his brows raised. 'How the heck was he able to read that?’

"I got it. Just relax and heal up. This wound is nothing. I'll hire the best doctors in the city to treat you." Jared turned around and comforted Nicole at once, intent on getting the best doctors to restore Nicole's visage.

The instant Nicole heard that he wished to hire another doctor, she thought, ‘Won't my ruse be exposed?’

Then, she gave him another blink at once.

"What's the matter with her?" Jared asked Martin, unable to understand her sudden blinking

Martin looked at everything that Nicole was doing, and as he thought about what Jared had said earlier, he explained, "She's probably hinting to you that there's no need to get another doctor. I'm the most reliable doctor around and she doesn't want treatment from anyone else."

Jared took a deep breath and explained to Nicole, "I know Martin's very skilled, but there are many other doctors abroad who are experts at what they do. They specialize in treating wounds like these. Besides, Martin is busy and won't be having much time."

"Jared, I no longer have to supervise the factory twenty-four seven already. Further still, with a wound like that, it is my duty to do my best to treat her, as a good friend of hers,” Martin said as he gave Jared a look that brimmed with resolution.

“Alright then. You must tell me if you need anything. Money is no object, so long as Nicole is healed. I'll leave it all under your care." Jared looked solemnly at Martin.

"Don't worry, Jared, I'll inform you if I ever need anything.”

Concurrently, Martin began to think, ‘What should I do if Jared finds out that I'm colluding with Nicole in this ruse...?’

"Well then, should we arrange for Nicole to be hospitalized?" Jared asked Martin.

In response, Martin looked at Nicole and said, "Sure."

Jared took his phone out at once and called Max. While Jared was busy in the midst of his call, Nicole shot Martin another glance.

"Nicole, let's just move right away.” Jared said to Nicole, sounding distressed.

Nicole blinked at Jared in agreement. He then helped her up as they walked out.

"Jared, I'll drive you two there," Martin offered, feeling that Jared would want to take care of Nicole at the back seat.

"Alright," Jared said, before he and Nicole entered the back seat.

Martin started the car and left his place as they headed for the hospital, and along the way, Jared would comfort Nicole from time to time.

"Does it hurt?"

Nicole shook her head.

Martin snuck a glance at Jared through the rearview mirror as he drove. Soon after, they arrived at the hospital, and with Jared's help, Nicole slowly made her way into the hospital.

As they passed through the crowded hall, many in the building began to cast curious glances at Nicole.

Nicole looked around while pretending that she was not. This was what she wanted. The more people knew about it, the sooner the news would reach Joyce's ears.

As they were bombarded with countless curious stares from the crowd, Jared, Nicole, and Martin got into the elevator and proceeded to the ward that had been arranged for her upstairs.

Chapter 1393

After they had entered the room, Nicole slowly herself down on the sickbed with Jared's help while Martin stood at the edge of the bed, watching them.

Anurse then walked in, saying, "You're here, Dr. Wyance."

“Yes. She's my patient and I'll be in charge of her.” Martin told the nurse.

The nurse nodded in understanding as she grabbed a pen and wrote Martin's name on Nicole's patient ID, designating him as the attending physician, before placing it on the bed.

“Medicate her using this prescription.” Martin handed the prescription to the nurse.

When the nurse took the prescription, she raised a brow in confusion. "Dr. Wyance..."

"Just medicate her using the prescription I gave you.’ Martin shot her a glance, prompting her to leave without saying another word.

"Jared, just stay here and accompany Nicole. I'll head out for a bit," Martin said, and gave Nicole one last glance before exiting the room, leaving Jared and Nicole inside.

Jared sat by Nicole’s side and looked at her as he attempted to comfort her. "It'll get much better once the medicine is applied. Don't worry, you know how skilled Martin is. He will definitely patch you up."

Nicole gave him a slight nod as she looked at him. She really could not bear to deceive him, but for the sake of her plans, she had to.

Suddenly, Jared’s phone rang and he let out a smile. It was a call from Max. He then picked up the phone and went to the window to answer it. Nicole looked at him, and after a while, after Jared was

done talking on the phone, she blinked at him.

"What's the matter? Feeling uncomfortable?" Jared immediately asked, anxious.

Nicole continued to blink, and with Jared still unable to understand her, he was left panicked and confused.

Seeing this, she could not help but issue an inward sigh. It was really not easy to communicate with him without Martin around.

Suddenly, she thought of an idea. She motioned for him to hand his phone over to her, and proceeded to type a line of words on it before handing the phone back to Jared.

"It's nothing major. I'm here with you,” Jared said, finally understanding what Nicole was motioning at and looked at her with a loving look on his face.

It was then that Martin and the nurse walked in, with the nurse approaching Nicole to give her an injection.

Before she was injected, Nicole quickly typed another message out to Jared.

[I'm fine. I just need the injections for now. Don't worry, Martin’s around. You have so much stuff to deal with back in the office, so please, go back.]

Reluctant to leave her side, Jared said, “In that case, rest well and recover. I'll come to accompany you whenever I have the time."

Nicole looked at Jared in the eyes and nodded.

Jared then turned to Martin and said, "I'll leave Nicole to you. I'll have to excuse myself for now.”

“Yeah, sure." Martin then sent Jared off.

A moment later, Martin returned to the ward and sauntered up to Nicole's bed. At this juncture, the two of them were the only ones left in the ward.

Nicole then asked Martin, "What did you inject me with moments ago?"

"Don't worry, it's just some nutrient solution. There will be no side effects.” Martin looked at Nicole in the eyes and explained.

"Ok."

“What do you plan to do next?" Martin asked.

In response, Nicole closed her eyes, acting as if she was really catching some rest after sustaining a serious injury, and said, "I'll go with the flow. I plan to rest for a few days in the hospital and give those who aren't convinced of my injury some kind of proof."

Chapter 1394

Martin displayed a slight frown. For a moment, he could not understand Nicole's intentions.

The, once he noticed that her eyes were closed, he thought, ‘It's best not to bother her with any more questions. She must have her own reasons for doing so.’

"Well, get your rest, then. If there’s anything else you need, you can call me anytime,” Martin finished, and turned around to leave the room.

“Alright.”

Nicole then slept peacefully throughout the entire night.

Meanwhile, Jared had returned to his company, with Max already waiting for him in his office.

“Tell me everything,” Jared ordered as he walked in and took a seat on his chair.

"From what we've gathered in our investigations, the Adam family are now linked to the McCarthy family through marriage. They've been expanding their sphere of influence wherever possible, and have been urging the McCarthys to do the same. The McCarthys have remained silent on this matter, however, and this has left members of the Adam family unhappy with them.” Max looked at Jared and reported.

"But wait, weren't they desperately clinging to the Adam family before this? " Jared asked as he could not help but think about the situation.

"Without the support of the Adam family, is it possible that the McCarthys have arrived at an impasse," Max asked in confusion.

Jared turned to look at Max. 'What he said made sense. The McCarthys would not have been able to return if it wasn't for the Adam family. If that was not the case, they would not have dared step foot on the country to hold that ceremony for their forefathers. It is definitely possible that Joyce McCarthy was reluctant to help with the expansion of the Adam family business.

Either that, or she couldn't find it in herself to let go of her past grudges.’

"Max, go ahead and expose Joyce McCarthy to the press for aiding the Adam family. Make sure that the Adam family are aware of the kind of person whom Joyce McCarthy is." Jared looked at Max and ordered.

"Yes, sir." Max uttered, and he left to attend to his work immediately after.

‘So long as the Adam family do not ditch the McCarthys, it'll be fairly easy for us to clean up after them,’ Jared thought as he gazed out of the window with a sneer on his lips.

However, his train of thought was soon broken, as an assistant of his proceeded to barge in.

"Mr. Johnston, the Fisher Group is going to hold a meeting on the Green Energy Project this afternoon. Should I arrange to have you be present, or should I get someone attend on your behalf?" the assistant asked, looking at Jared with his brows furrowed.

“Arrange for Mr. Allen to attend on my behalf. I have other matters to attend to this afternoon,” Jared replied.

Jared recalled the so-called good deed that Fiorella had done for him, and because of that, he wanted nothing to do with her anymore, at least not for a while.

“Alright. Here are two documents that will require your signature." The assistant placed the documents in front of Jared, who picked them up and perused them, before signing them and handing them back

to the assistant.

"Place the less significant itineraries that I have on my schedule in the back burner, and have the important ones sent directly to my phone." Jared looked at the assistant and ordered.

"Yes, sir. Do you have any other instructions?" The assistant stared at Jared, waiting for his orders.

"Oh yeah, here's another thing. If Fiorella ever comes to see me, you must notify me in advance.”

"Yes, sir."

“Off you go." Jared looked at the time. ‘Looks like I still have some time left before I have to head out to pick Nicole up.’

He then flipped through the files next to him and began to work.

Abroad, Carl was still monitoring the situation at the Beacon factory closely. Even though they had gotten into skirmishes with

The Raven for the past week, most of his crew members were able to make speedy recoveries thanks to the supply of Beacons provided by Nicole.

“Continue guarding the entrances and exits. Report any oddities to me at once. Do you understand?” Carl looked at his subordinates and asked.

Chapter 1395

“Understood.”

Carl went back to the main control room after patrolling around for an hour. He then picked his phone up and gave Nicole a call.

“Carl, are you slacking off in the midst of a busy schedule?” Nicole asked jokingly

How’d you know? Are you a mind reader of sorts?” Carl asked in astonishment.

“Considering that you’re able to give me a call, you must not be having anything urgent on your hands. Anyway, how’s everything there? Are you okay?” Nicole asked with concern.

“I’m holding up just fine. I’ve just had another confrontation with The Raven about a week ago and fortunately, our men who’ve been injured were able to put the Beacons that you’ve given us to good use. Their recoveries were fast, and they were able to get back into action soon after,” Carl said, praising Nicole for her foresight.

‘Wow, I didn’t expect the Beacons to be of use that soon. The Raven seems to be quite conscientious…’

“Are you okay?” Nicole asked worriedly.

“You know how I am. How are those thugs supposed to hurt me anyway?” Carl said confidently.

“Don’t get too cocky now. The Raven is pretty ruthless. I wouldn’t advise being careless whenever you encounter them,” Nicole said with a hint of concern in her voice.

“Don’t worry. I know how to take care of myself.” Carl rolled his eyes. ‘She’s thousands of miles away and yet she’s keeping tabs on me.’

“I heard that you’ve just used the Beacon. Do you think there are any features that need to be improved upon?” Nicole asked.

“I haven’t discovered any problems with it yet,” Carl recalled.

“That’s good. If you happen to find any defects in the future, let me know as soon as possible. It’s best that others do not use them if they are,” Nicole told Carl.

“Yeah, I know. So, how’s life back there?” Carl asked as he became concerned about Nicole’s life.

“When have you started caring about my life?” Nicole asked, finding herself caught off guard by the question.

“I’ve been doing that for a while now. It’s just that you’ve been too busy to pay attention,” Carl explained proudly.

“Really? I don’t believe you.”

“Alright, don’t overthink it, and just answer me. How are you doing?” Carl asked her again.

“I’m doing pretty well. There’s nothing you need to worry about. It’s not as dangerous here as it is over at your place. The sun is shining, and life is beautiful.” Nicole said, describing her current condition.

“Wow, you know, I find that enviable! It would be great if I could live a life like yours.” Carl closed his eyes and imagined the beautiful life that Nicole had described.

But once she had heard Carl’s statement, she fell silent.

“Carl, after this mission is over, try and request for a transfer from Zane so that you can come over and protect me.”

“Protect you? Why would you require my protection? Aren’t you a tough woman?” Carl asked with a look of surprise on his face, puzzled as he could not figure out why.

Creases appeared on Nicole’s forehead. ‘It seems that he didn’t understand where I was coming from. Carl is still a young man, and yet, he has never gotten to enjoy a life of peace and beauty. After all, he has constantly been training and doing missions all over the world. It would be nice for him to just stop and take a break to explore the world in a different sort of way.
