Ch. 1421..1425: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1421-1425

Chapter 1421

When the nurse walked in with the medication, Nicole was still sitting by Jared’s bed.

“You’ve just undergone detoxification, Miss Riddle. It’s not right for you to be this active,” the nurse reminded Nicole gently.

“Okay, did Martin ask you to bring these here?” Nicole looked at the medication atop the nurse’s tray.

“Yeah, Dr. Wyance told me to bring these to you.” The nurse handed Nicole the medication.

“Alright, you may leave now,” Nicole said to the nurse.

“Sure, just alert me if you need anything,” the nurse said, after which she exited the ward.

Nicole stared at the medication before looking back at Jared. ‘How am I supposed to feed him…?’

‘Seems like this is the only way.’ Nicole placed the medicine into her mouth and leaned in toward Jared’s lips…

As she was doing that, Jared’s eyelashes fluttered, and this time, she was able to catch it. She quickly looked back up in shock.

“Are you awake?” Nicole asked excitedly, though he there was no response from him.

Dejectedly, Nicole then said, “If you can hear me, please move your eyelids.”

She then stared at Jared’s eyes quietly, waiting for a miracle to happen. But three minutes had passed, and much to her chagrin, Jared remained still and unresponsive.

The look of excitement on Nicole’s face began to vanish.

“It’s okay. At least I’m able to see you recovering. Keep taking this medication, and you’ll be waking up in no time.” Nicole said.

She wanted Jared to hear her, and at the same time, also wanted to give herself some confidence.

Tired after talking to Jared for such a long time, Nicole returned to her bed to catch some rest. Suddenly, she thought of Zeke, whereupon she took her phone out to search for his contact before sending him an encrypted text message.

However, Zeke did not reply, even after a long while. Thinking that it was because he was still in hiding, she did not wait for his response.

Then, she switched her laptop on and continued to work on her mission.

Two days later, Harvey sent a message to Nicole. “I’ve captured that guy. We’re in the suburbs in the west of the city. I’ve already sent you the location.”

“Did you expose yourself?” Nicole asked.

“Nope.”

“Good. I’ll be there in a second.” Nicole switched her laptop off and got off her bed.

She walked up to Jared’s bed and looked at him before calling Martin. “Are you free now? Harvey has captured that man.”

“Okay, I’ll head to the hospital now.”

Having understood what Nicole had said, he quickly ditched whatever he was doing and drove to the hospital without the slightest hesitation.

And when he opened the door to the ward, Nicole was already geared up, ready to make a move.

Martin asked as he looked at Nicole’s outfit, “Are you ready? Are you sure that it’s safe out there?”

“It’s safe. Harvey will be with me later. Besides, this place is pretty close to the west coast,” Nicole explained.

Martin nodded. “Sure.”

“I’ll leave Jared in your hands now. Do not leave this place until I am back,” Nicole reminded him, as she was worried about Jared.

“Okay, I shall guarantee that he won’t be harmed or worse off than he was,” Martin promised.

“Okay, I’ll make a move now.” Nicole looked at Jared again before turning around to leave.

“Keep your wits about you. You must inspect anyone who’s coming into the ward. If you notice anyone suspicious, just detain them and wait for my return!” Nicole ordered the bodyguards at the door.

“Understood,” the bodyguards said.

After had spoken, Nicole made her way to the elevator.

It had been some time since she had walked out of the hospital.

The air was so much fresher outside. Nicole quickly made a beeline for her car and drove off to the west coast.

Chapter 1422

As Nicole’s car gradually left the town, the view around her began to turn dreary and unfamiliar.

She saw a house from afar, but she was not sure if it was the same one whose location Harvey had sent her, so she made her way over there.

When she had pulled up, she scanned the decrepit building. There were a few cars parked outside, so she walked into the building carefully.

Nicole then sent Harvey a text. [I’m here. Where are you?]

Harvey replied. [I’m in here. Come to the second floor]

Nicole looked at the spiral staircase and kept her eyes on the second floor as she walked upstairs.

The moment he saw her, Harvey went over to greet her.

“Put this mask on.” Harvey passed her a mask.

Nicole grabbed it, wore it, and turned around with her back facing Harvey. Sitting somewhere nearby was someone with a sack over his head, tied to a chair.

Nicole approached the man who had been tied up and ordered the people around her, “Take that sack off.”

Luke’s face appeared before her after his sack had been removed, and he was shocked to see two masked individuals standing before him.

He stuttered as he asked, “Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me?! 11

“You don’t need to know who we are. Just admit your recent wrongdoings if you want to live,” Harvey asked him in an altered tone of voice.

“I don’t know what you’re saying. If you’re Jared’s goons, you should know who I am by now. You’ll be better off if you release me now! If not, I’ll give you hell!” Luke threatened them, his glare fierce and murderous.

“Jared? Why would you say that we’re Jared’s people? Are you afraid of Jared because you did something terrible to him?” Harvey asked upon discovering the gap in his answer.

“I’m not afraid of him! He might not even wake up anymore, so why should I be afraid of a dead man?!”

“Don’t even try to bait me. If you don’t work for Jared, why have you captured me? We don’t owe each other anything, so what do you want?” Luke asked, deducing that they were kidnappers who were after his money if Jared was not a part of the equation.

“We just want an answer,” Nicole said all of a sudden.

“An answer? An answer to what…?” Luke looked at Nicole.

“Do you know this nurse?” Nicole showed him a picture of the woman whom Martin had found.

Luke immediately recognized the person in the picture, but he proceeded to deny it. “Nope.”

“That’s a quick response. Did you even have a good look at it?” Nicole mockingly asked, as she knew that he was lying.

“I really don’t know who this person is. If you wish to find her, why don’t you just do it? Why do you have to tie me up?”

“Have a closer look, Luke. I’m going to ask you one more time. Do you know this woman?” Nicole asked, her tone a lot fiercer than before.

Luke had many experiences with situations like this, so he was not going to admit to anything in a situation like this.

“I’ve said it already. I don’t know her. You got the wrong person,” Luke said, still attempting to deny it.

“Ah, so you’re not going to spill, huh? Fine, I’m not going to force you.”

“Guys, come over and give him a taste of the full-face mask,” Nicole ordered the bodyguards.

The bodyguards exchanged looks. As they had no idea what Nicole was saying, all of them stayed put.

“Why are you not doing anything? Come on!” Nicole ordered coldly.

“Sir, what does full-face mask even mean?” a bodyguard asked Harvey.

This was the first-time Harvey had heard that term as well, so he looked at Nicole with a slight frown and a brow raised.

Chapter 1423

It was only then that Nicole realized that they knew next to nothing about this approach. So, she stood up and tried to find something that could help her.

She went to Harvey and said, “I need some of this.”

Then, she raised her dagger and cut a small piece of fabric off Harvey’s shirt.

Harvey was shocked. “Why did you do that?”

“I’ll get you a new shirt later.” Nicole then went up to Luke with that piece of cloth in her hand.

“Hold him still and get me that bottle of water.” Nicole looked at Luke and said.

“What the hell are you doing? You better think this through…”

Nicole went on to cover his face with that piece of cloth before he could finish his sentence.

After that, she took the bottle of water from the bodyguard and asked Luke again, “Do you know that woman?”

“I don’t.”

Nicole poured the water on the cloth and Luke began struggling.

“Press it tighter against his face and make sure he enjoys it,” Nicole said to the bodyguard.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Luke’s struggling and thrashing became even more violent as he was running out of air.

Nicole told the bodyguard to remove the cloth from Luke’s face just before he was about to asphyxiate. Luke gasped for air right after that and his face turned purple and livid.

Nicole then looked at him and said, “Do you who that person is, now?”

“No.” Luke denied, still refusing to give in.

“Fine, do it again!” Nicole looked at Luke contemptuously.

“Ugh…” Luke groaned as they covered his face again.

This time, Nicole waited for a while longer before she allowed her security detail to remove the cloth from his face. She took her time, as Luke fought for his life. It took two bodyguards to pin him down.

It was only when she saw that Luke was about to pass out that she motioned the men to remove the piece of cloth from his face.

The bodyguards took the wet cloth off his face, and Luke’s eyes rolled back. He was gasping as he slowly regained his consciousness.

Luke glared at Nicole weakly. “I’m not going to spill anything, even if you torture me to death.”

“Well, okay. Let’s do it again…”

But before Nicole could complete her sentence, Luke caved in, and shouted, “Wait! Stop it. I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.”

Luke could not bear to go through that again. If this continued, he would die here.

“Go ahead. Tell me everything you know, and truthfully too.” Nicole looked at him coldly.

Luke glanced at her and spoke after he had taken a few deep breaths. “I know that nurse.”

“What did you tell her to do?”

“I-I told her to teach Nicole a lesson,” Luke said with a ruthless look on his face.

“Just a lesson?” Nicole asked.

“Of course. Nicole is the reason as to why my daughter is dead. There’s just no way I’d let her get away with it.” Luke’s passionate hatred for Nicole surged when he thought of Joyce’s death.

“Did you tell the nurse to poison her?” Nicole’s gaze became icier as the interrogation progressed.

“Poison? Why would you say that? It’s illegal!” Luke put on a surprised look as if he was truly innocent.

Nicole lifted the edge of her mouth coldly. “So you know it’s illegal, huh?”

Then, she took the concoction out and threw it in front of Luke, who was taken aback the moment he saw it. ‘It looks like Nicole sent these people to kidnap me. Does this mean that she is still alive?’

Chapter 1424

“Did Nicole send you?” Luke looked at Nicole, who was wearing a mask, with his bloodshot eyes.

“I guess you probably knew that this IVbag was laced with a lethal concoction.”

“I don’t. If anything, it has got to be the nurse. I’m innocent!” Luke cried, his face pale as sheet.

“How dare you say that?!” Nicole yelled, her voice so icy that it could literally freeze Luke.

Having felt her sheer viciousness, he slumped against the chair, terrified. “I swear I’m not lying.”

“Luke, do you really think we have no idea what you did after we got you here? You better be honest if you don’t wish to experience anything worse!” she yelled.

“I don’t know anything. Please just let me go.” Luke pleaded, set on not admitting to anything after having figured that these masked individuals were sent here by Nicole.

“It seems to me that you’ve grown tired of living.” Nicole took a dagger out as she approached Luke slowly.

She shot him a glance and proceeded to stab him in the leg. Luke yelled out in pain as blood gushed out of the open wound, with streams running down the hilt of the knife and down onto the floor.

“Ugh…”

“Have you changed your mind?” Nicole looked at him coldly as if she could not hear his grunts at all.

Harvey, who was standing at the side, became quite frightened after seeing how cruel Nicole was. It was his first-time seeing this side of her.

Luke had never experienced pain of this sort. Unable to endure it anymore, he began to beg for mercy. “Please just let me go. I’ll tell you everything.”

Nicole kept the dagger plunged into the wound and said, “Go ahead. 11

Luke knew that he would probably lose his leg if he uttered another lie to this masked woman after seeing how serious things had gotten.

He was now afraid to hide the truth, so he confessed to everything he had done to Nicole.

Nicole released her grip on the dagger and took a recorder out, with Luke getting anxious after seeing it.

“You’re so despicable. How could you do this?”

“You wily old fox. You’re going to spend the rest of your life in prison.” Nicole took her mask off.

Luke could not help but gasp after seeing Nicole’s face.

Then, he said while looking at her in shock, “Nicole? It’s you?!”

He was about to reach out and snatch Nicole’s phone, but a sharp pain in his leg stymied him as soon as he moved, stopping him from doing anything.

“You should’ve seen this coming, you old fart. You would’ve never ended up like this if you didn’t try to harm anyone.” Nicole looked at the bodyguard beside her after she had completed her sentence.

“Send him to the police and give them a copy of this recording too. 11

“Yes, ma’am,” one of the men replied.

“Nicole, do you really think you can send me to prison? You’re way too naive!” Luke barked.

Nicole turned around and looked at him. “You better hope that they lock you up, because you’re going to have it worse out here…”

Then, she left the place with Harvey, leaving Luke’s resentful whining behind them.

Harvey removed his mask and looked at Nicole after they had gotten out. “Nicole, you were ruthless back there!”

Nicole gave him a glance and said, “Let’s head back.”

“Sure.”

Harvey was a little intimidated by Nicole, so he quickly got into the car and quietly went back to the hospital with her.

Harvey was still in admiration of what Nicole had done as they made their way to the corridor. Suddenly, Nicole stopped, causing Harvey to almost bump into her.

“Why did you stop?” Harvey asked as he looked at Nicole with his brows raised.

“Don’t mention anything about Luke when we get inside later.” Nicole looked at Harvey and said.

“Why? Are you afraid that Martin would find out?” Harvey looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed.

Chapter 1425

I have my reasons. Just keep that in mind.”

“Okay.”

Martin was sitting in the ward when they pushed the door open. He had not left the room even once ever since Nicole had gone out.

“You’re back.’1 Martin stood up and looked at them.

“Yeah,” Nicole uttered.

“How did it go?” Martin looked at Nicole with a brow raised.

“Things weren’t bad at all,” she replied, not needing to worry about being ambushed anymore.

“That’s great,” Martin said.

Suddenly, Martin’s phone rang, and he took a glance at it.

“Nicole, somebody from the factory just called. I’ll make my way there now, since you guys are back.” Martin looked at Nicole and said.

“Sure,” she replied. “Thanks for your help. See you.”

“No worries,” Martin replied. “See you around, Harvey.”

“Okay, drive safe,” Harvey said.

Harvey went up to Jared’s bed and looked at him.

Then, he walked over to Nicole and asked, “Should we get something to eat?”

“I’m good. I wish to stay here,” Nicole declined, as she thought that there had to be at least one person in the ward.

“Come on. I know you’re worried about Jared being alone here, but Luke has been taken care of. Besides, there are so many bodyguards outside. Jared will be fine,” Harvey told Nicole.

“Even though Luke isn’t a threat anymore, I just don’t feel safe leaving Jared alone here. You should just go out and eat on your own.” Nicole hospital.

“Hold on, Nicole. We’re almost at the hospital,” Jared tried to comfort Nicole as he drove.

“Not the hospital. Look for Martin. He’s the best doctor around,” Nicole reminded him as she lay in the back.

Jared immediately turned the car around and drove to the Beacon factory.

Anxious, he gave Martin a call. “Martin, Nicole’s hurt. Where are you now?” “Nicole’s hurt?!”

‘I’m at home. You can come over now,” Martin told him. During the previous renovation, he had built a professional medical room in his house to be used in unique situations.

“Okay, well come over right now.”

Martin went to get the equipment ready as soon as he put down the phone.

Jared sped all the way there, running several traffic lights. In less than ten minutes, he had arrived at Martin’s place.

Jared carried Nicole inside. “Martin?”

Hearing Jared’s voice, Martin immediately got out to meet them.

“Put her on the bed,” he instructed.

Jared put Nicole on the sick bed and looked at her with an anxious look on his face.

“Go out and take a breather. I’ll check Nicole’s injuries.” Martin looked at Jared.

“I’ll stay here. Work on her now. I won’t disturb you.” Jared had no intention of leaving Nicole alone. He wanted to stay by her side.

looked at Harvey and returned to the bed to get some rest.

Harvey figured that it would not be appropriate for him to persuade her any further as she had already gotten into bed. In addition, he would be the one to blame, should anything terrible happen to Jared if Nicole left.

“Okay, I’ll go alone then. Let me know what you’d like to eat, and I’ll bring them back here,” Harvey offered as he looked at her.

“It’s fine. I don’t have an appetite.” Nicole took her laptop out and began typing away.

“Okay. I’ll get going now.” Harvey quietly left after seeing how Nicole was giving him the cold shoulder.

“Sure,” Nicole said, staring at her laptop screen without even lifting her head.

Harvey left the hospital. As soon as he figured that there was little point in eating alone, he returned to the office, instead of going to a restaurant.

Back in the base of operations, Carl was on the phone with Olaf. “Is the equipment ready?”

“It will be soon. Five units of Braves are yet to be armed.” Olaf responded.

“Good. Give me access to the Braves after they’re ready. I must start planning on the defense,” Carl said to Olaf.

‘They’re owned by the company. I’ve got to ask for my superior’s permission before doing so,” Olaf explained to Carl.

“Okay. Get it done as soon as possible. I fear that The Raven will launch another assault soon,” Carl said, telling Olaf about his worries.

“Sure. I’ll get it done right now.” Olaf hung up and dialed his superior’s number.

“Yes, I understand. Rest assured; I’ll be sure to cooperate with Carl,” Olaf said, addressing the person on the phone in the most courteous way he thought possible.

“Get the Braves ready as soon as possible. I need return to the central control room now. Keep me updated,” Olaf ordered his subordinates, after which he left.

Carl was still waiting for Olafs reply in the master control room, when all of a sudden, The Raven mounted another offensive again.

Carl immediately issued combat orders to every squad present there.” Send the Braves to the front and let them cover US. I need you to work together with the Braves and shoot at the enemies from the back. That way, we can defend against the enemies in the most effective way possible.”

“Sir, we don’t have access to the Braves yet, so our men are stuck out there. What should we do?” one of the group leaders reported to Carl.
