Ch. 236..240: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 236-240
Chapter 236
Gloria and Daniel looked at the smile on Nicole’s face and nodded involuntarily.
Daniel then stood up.
“Then I’ll go through the discharge procedures.”
“Stay here, Dad.
Let me do it,” Stanley said and then gave a meaningful look at Nicole before walking toward the hospital’s service counter.
Nicole felt it heartwarming to see the way her family trusted her unconditionally.
As they were waiting for Stanley to return, a somewhat icy voice came from behind them.” Daniel, how dare you make a decision without consulting me! Why do you want to discharge your father from the hospital? Are you trying to kill him?”
Nicole did not look back but could already tell whose voice it was.
It was Dillon, her second uncle.
She knew the doctor would notify these people once she asked the hospital to discharge his grandfather.
So she was not surprised at all that Dexter had also come.
The problem with Dillon was his tone of voice.
Nicole looked at Dillon with a frosty look in her eyes.
“It’s my idea to discharge.
Come after me if you have a problem with that,” she said in an icy voice.
When Dillon saw her return, he sneered.
“It turned out to be you, Nicole.
You started to create trouble as soon as you returned.
You might as well not come back.
How can you be so evil at such a young age? Your grandfather is dying.
Why can’t you let him get treatment?”
Nicole frowned, knowing that her behavior was abnormal in his eyes, so she explained to him.
“I’m here to get him better treatment.”
Before Dillon could say anything, someone suddenly sneered and said, “I’m surprised you have the audacity to say that, Nicole.”
Nicole looked back and saw Damien staring at her with icy eyes.
He had apparently just arrived and heard her conversation with Dillon.
She ignored him, just sat, and waited for Stanley to return.
Dillon was infuriated by Nicole’s behavior.
He looked back at Daniel and scoffed, saying, “Look what a wonderful daughter you have here.
She is a jinx.
As if hurting isn’t enough, she now wants to get Dad killed.
Why don’t you condemn her?”
After Mr. Riddle Sr.
fell ill, Daniel saw his brothers’ attitude and resented them.
Now hearing Dillon’s questioning voice, he silently turned to look at Nicole.
After getting an assuring look from Nicole, he became less worried.
He would not censure his daughter simply because of his second brother,
At first, Gloria was worried that Daniel would side with his brothers.
But seeing his response, she was no longer worried.
She had always been a gentle person, but now she looked icily at Dillon.
“Stop accusing Nicole of this and that.
She at least rushed over to see her grandfather as soon as she got off the plane.
In contrast, you have only come once for the two days, but have you ever cared to take a look at Dad? Now that we’re transferring Dad to another hospital, you stop us.
I wonder what you’re up to.”
Of course, Dillon was afraid of Gloria.
He sneered and questioned her.
“Stop finding fauit with me; I was just tied up with my job.
But you, I wonder if you know what you’re talking about.
Don’t you know that this is the best hospital in San Joto? You’re blinded by the lies of your daughter.
I wonder if she even knows which one is the best hospital in San Joto.
It is ridiculous of you all to believe what she says.”
Nicole looked at Dillon.
“So you know a lot, don’t you? Have you found a doctor who has a hundred percent confidence in curing grandpa?” she flatly asked.
Dillon was choked by what she said.
He still could not find any good doctor, and he had not even met the hospital CEO.
But Nicole, as a junior, should not disrespect him, he thought.
He looked at Nicole and was exasperated.
“Can a stink brat like you find a better doctor when even I couldn’t find one?”
Dexter looked at Nicole.
“You don’t even have Riddle as your last name.
Will you be able to find a better hospital and doctor?”
Chapter 237
Nicole looked at her uncles with a wry smile.
“What if I can find it?”
Dillon burst into laughter, almost shocked by her unashamed remarks.
“If you can find it, I will kneel to you.”
Dexter looked at Nicole’s calm face and quietly frowned.
He would never say something so reckless without thinking as Dillon did.
Nicole looked at Dillon with a calm look on her face, a stark contrast to Dillon’s hooting of laughter.
“Challenge accepted.”
“Uncle Damien, you heard it, too,” Nicole said as he looked at Damien.
Damien did not approve of the transfer, but Dillon’s reaction had aroused Nicole’s suspicions.
So he had a complicated feeling when he looked at Nicole.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked, “Are you sure your grandfather will get well after he is transferred to another hospital?”
Nicole looked at him but said nothing.
She then sat back down with her parents.
“What is that attitude of yours?” Dillon shouted.
Dexter frowned at Nicole’s disrespect for Damien.
Damien knew that there was more to Nicole than met the eye.
Instead of getting angry at Nicole like Dillon did, he smiled softly and said, “Since you insist on doing so, then do you as say.
Get the transfer done.”
“Damien!” “Are you out of your mind, Damien?” Two voices rose in unison as Dillon and Karen looked at Damien with disbelief in their eyes.
They thought Damien must have been bewitched.
If not, he would not have supported Nicole.
But Damien ignored the two of them and still looked at Nicole.
“Is the doctor you can find related to the Rogers family in some way?”|
Nicole glanced at him faintly.
There were many people at the Rogers family’s birthday party the other day.
She did not know that Damien was also there and where he got the fake news that she had something to do with the Rogers family
Dillon felt strange, too.
He remembered Mr. Rogers Sr.
had come to the Riddle family, asking them to hand over a girl.
Only Nicole and Chloe were not present that day.
Since Mr. Rogers Sr.
was not looking for Chloe, then… he looked at Nicole and could not accept this conclusion.
Nicole could not give a damn about what was going on in the minds of these people.
She looked back at Damien with an obscure expression.
Even people like Damien, who had gone through ups and down the business world, felt intimidated.
“I don’t know any of the Rogers family members,” she said.
Her expression was genuine, and it did not look like she was faking it.
Indeed, Nicole did not know any of the Rogers family members.
She had just met them once at the birthday party that day.
Damien looked at her, not very convinced.
But Dillon believed what Nicole said.
Dillon did not
go to the Rogers family’s birthday party and did not know what Damien had seen.
So he quickly dispelled the idea that the person Mr. Rogers Sr.
was looking for was Nicole because it seemed almost impossible.
Chapter 238
Dillon looked at Damien and then at Nicole again.
He had not forgotten that Nicole had just laughed at him for not being able to find a good doctor to treat his father.
He sneered and said, “Who is the Rogers family? Why did you ask like this, Damien?” “Of course, I believe you, Nicole, that you don’t know the Rogers family.
But I’m curious now who the doctor you’re looking for is,” Dillon said.
Nicole looked at Dillon with a smirk.
“You don’t have to know.
You just need to remember what you’ve agreed to.” Her voice was soft but with a hint of contempt.
Dillon had just said that he would kneel to Nicole if she could find a doctor who could cure Mr. Riddle Sr.
Everyone had heard it, and Dillon did not deny it.
Even San Joto’s best hospital had only a 50% chance of curing Mr. Riddle Sr.
He did not believe that Nicole could do anything to guarantee Mr. Riddle Sr.’s treatment to be successful.
No matter who she was looking for, the chances of this operation would still be below 50%.
That was less than half the chance.
Dillon was not afraid at all as he thought about this.
“Of course, if you can cure your grandfather, and he suffers no subsequent sequelae, I will not hesitate to kneel to you.
But if you can’t,” there was a sinister look in his eyes, “you will be the sinner of the Riddle family.”
Nicole was not intimidated.
She nodded in agreement.
“If the doctor I find can’t cure my grandfather, I’ll leave the family.”
At first, Daniel and Gloria were observing, but when they heard Nicole say this, they became anxious.
“You shouldn’t have said that, Nicole.” Nicole was burning her bridges.
They wondered what kind of doctor Nicole was looking for, but Nicole was so confident.
Steve and Spencer frowned.
As they were about to say something , Nicole motioned them to calm down.
She then looked at Dillon with a glacial expression.
Damien looked at Nicole and could hardly recognize she was the Nicole he used to know.
He was almost certain that Nicole had something to do with the Rogers family and that it was possible that it would be the Rogers family that helped her find the doctor, who was likely better than the current hospital could offer.
Otherwise, with less than a fifty-percent chance, Mr. Riddle Sr.could probably not survive the operation.
His eyes glinted behind the glasses as he thought that was not bad either.
He then glanced up at Nicole with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Stanley returned.
He looked at Nicole and said softly, “They said that a surgeon named Dr.
McCarthy was ready to come back to operate on grandpa.
They asked if we wanted to transfer grandpa to another hospital.” Nicole’s expression remained unchanged after hearing what Stanley said.
“How confident she is of the operation?”
Stanley hesitated, “They said that what they told us at the beginning was the doctor’s ability, which was about fifty-fifty,”
“Get grandpa discharged immediately,” Nicole said without blinking an eye.
“Okay.” Stanley looked at her and smiled gently.
He turned around and strode toward the service counter.
The doctor there was waiting for him to come back and apologize, saying that they would wait for the doctor to return and operate on Mr. Riddle Sr., But Stanley just squinted at her.
“We want the patient to be discharged immediately.”
Chapter 239
The doctor was wide-eyed.
“Are you sure? of all the doctors in San Joto, only those from this hospital can achieve this success rate.
If you recklessly transfer the patient to another hospital, he likely won’t be able to open his eyes again.”
Stanley, who always had a gentle expression, looked frigid now, as he felt Nicole could not be more right, the quality of medical care here was outrageously awful.
He smiled politely and insisted on getting his grandfather discharged.
The doctor looked at him with mouth agape.
“Be rational.
What makes you so unhappy about the hospital that you want to transfer the patient to another hospital? Don’t forget that this is the best hospital in San Joto.” The doctor’s voice contained a sense of superiority.
So instead of dissuading Stanley, it pissed him off.
‘Maybe this is the best hospital to treat bruises,’ Stanley thought expressionlessly.
Seeing that Stanley insisted, the doctor reluctantly refunded a large amount of paid money.
She glanced at these people, whom she saw as knowing nothing, and then went aside to make a phone call.
Mr. Riddle Sr.
was finally going to be transferred to another hospital.
Daniel and Gloria were nervous.
Nicole looked calm.
She went to a corner to make a video call.
A gentle – and elegant-looking Esperian man appeared on the screen.
He was about fifty and looked very gentlemanly in a white coat.
Seeing that Nicole finally called him, the man broke into a bright smile.
“You are finally willing to call me.”
Nicole did not have time to reminisce with him.
“I want to take the patient to your lab in San Joto in ten minutes,” she said rapidly.
The man’s face turned serious.
As he nodded and before ending the call, he did not forget to mime an okay with his hand to Nicole.
Dillon watched with cold eyes as Nicole came back.
“If something happens to your grandfather because of the hospital transfer, you will have to take full responsibility for it,” he said with a sneer.
But Nicole ignored him and went straight into the ward to check on Mr. Riddle Sr.’s condition to make sure that the move would not cause any harm to him.
Only then did she come out and give Daniel and others a reassuring look.
She then sat down and checked her watch nonchalantly.
One minute had passed.
And then two.
As the minute hand pointed at six, she heard some kind of extremely noisy sound.
She broke into a faint smile and said, “Here it
comes.”
Samuel looked at Nicole in confusion, not knowing what she was talking about.
Meanwhile, Dillon looked at Nicole with disdain, thinking that she was trying to gaslight them.
Damien was looking at the other end of the hallway curiously, while Daniel and Gloria also
looked in the same direction.
As they heard wheels rolling, they could vaguely see the faces of the people who came.
Everyone, including Dillon, who taunted Nicole earlier , was wide-eyed as a group of people dressed in special forces uniforms strode over.
They were pushing a special stretcher and hurried toward them.
Following behind them was a doctor dressed in a white robe.
Everyone looked on with their mouths agape.
They thought the Riddle family did not have any military or political background.
So how could it mobilize such elite special forces? Nicole squinted and recognized at once that the special forces had the First Army insignia on their flanks.
Chapter 240
The doctor led the special forces to come in front of the ward.
He had a very handsome, mixed race face, his expression brightening up at the moment he saw Nicole.
He held up a hand and then lowered it consciously halfway as he walked toward Nicole.
“We are ready.
May I ask where the patient is?” Nicole looked back at the ward.
“He is in there.”
The doctor nodded solemnly.
“Got it.” His Hustuaburgian accent was a little odd as if he seldom spoke the language.
“Go ahead.” Nicole nodded.
The special forces soldiers saw how respectful the doctor was toward Nicole, and they all had a solemn look on their faces.
The leading man gestured with a hand, and they all went into the ward.
Half a minute later, they were carrying Mr. Riddle Sr, who was lying comatose, out of the ward without making a sound.
Nicole was pleased to see that Mr. Riddle Sr.
was undisturbed.
The stretcher was fully unfolded, and all the vital signs-sustaining instruments were readily available.
The scene had drawn a lot of attention.
Almost everyone in the building poked their heads out to rubberneck.
When they saw those frosty-faced special forces, many people were frightened and quickly pulled their heads back in.
The entire floor fell into an eerie silence when people saw how respectful the special forces soldiers were toward Nicole.
Even those from the Riddle fanily looked surprised, not expecting Nicole to get help from the special forces.
A few special forces soldiers from The First Army of Hustuaburg were equivalent to the combat strength of a regiment.
Even Daniel looked at Nicole in disbelief.
“Who are they, Nicole?” he asked.
When Nicole saw the frightened look in their eyes, she realized that the special forces soldiers might have scared them.
She hesitated for a couple of seconds and then said, “They are actors I hire.”
Probably only Gloria and Dillon would believe what she said.
Steve nudged his glasses up the nose.
“Stop fooling us anymore,” he said with a you-got-to-be-kidding-me kind of look.
They could tell if the stripes on the soldiers’ uniforms were military-issued or not,
Nicole looked at Steve, who seemed to have seen through everything, and said, “That doctor is my friend.
But I don’t really know who the others are.”
“Your friend?” Everyone was still amazed.
Nicole did not know Mr. Ellison only but also had a friend like this.
Damien had become silent.
Other people were struck dumb and could only pull back their shocked gazes
Meanwhile, Dillon believed those people were the actors whom Nicole hired.
So he could not help but taunt her.
“I can’t believe a girl as young as you are playing this charade, which is a shame for the Riddle family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he received strange glances from everyone, which made him
a little confused.
He wondered if he had said something wrong.
Damien looked at Dillon and sighed.
Only Dillon would believe Nicole’s narrative.
Certainly, there was more to Nicole than met the eye.
Thinking of what he had said to Nicole previously, Damien felt a strange sense of remorse.
He was thinking of taunting Nicole earlier, not expecting that she was capable of mobilizing such elite forces.
He glanced at Nicole with a hint of imperative look in his eyes.
