Ch. 2416..2420: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2416-2420
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2416-A playful smile crossed Nicole’s face as she observed the sweet interaction between the two. She then made her way towards Jared’s car, and after they had all gotten into their respective vehicles, they each drove off in their own respective directions.
“Looks like Lulu and Spencer are becoming sweeter by the day,” Nicole remarked as she leaned against her seat.
Jared glanced at her with a knowing look and said, “Well, are we not as sweet as they are, or are you implying something else?”
After playfully rolling her eyes at Jared, Nicole replied, “Don’t read too much into it. I meant exactly what I said.”
“I beg to differ,” Jared said, leaning closer to Nicole, causing her to shield her face.
“Hey, stop fooling around,” she said. ‘He’s pretty darn shameless, even in situations like this!’
“I’m being serious.” Jared said, his gaze growing more intense.
The entire compartment at the backseat darkened, and the partitions slowly rose. Then, with a swift deliberate motion, Jared encircled Nicole in his embrace. A possessive and intense kiss soon followed…
On the other side of town, Spencer had planned to take Lulu out for dinner before dropping her off at her place. While they were in the process of choosing a restaurant, however, Spencer’s phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Icyln, Spencer furrowed his brow a little before answering it. “Icyln.”
“Spencer,” Icyln uttered, her voice weak like a faint whisper.
“What’s wrong?” Spencer’s grimace intensified with concern.
Despite the fact that she was already in the hospital herself, Icyln’s voice sounded unusually feeble.
Indeed, her voice became even more strained, tinged with pain even, as she replied. “Spencer, I’m not feeling well.
Could you come and pay me a visit?”
“I…” Spencer glanced at Lulu, appearing hesitant.
“It’s okay. I’ll go with you.” Lulu nodded reassuringly, her voice calm and cool.
“Icyln, I think you should call the doctor.” Spencer replied in an attempt to weasel out of the situation, as the hospital had medical professionals and assistants who could tend to Icyln and her needs.
He would not be able to offer much help if he was there anyway.
“It’s fine. We can visit her first and then have dinner,” Lulu advised with a whisper.
Spencer could not bring himself to refuse the request as he was burdened with the responsibility of being Icyln’s senior.
Besides, she truly sounded weak.
Spencer listened on, and after a slight pause, he said, “Fine, we’ll be there shortly.”
After hanging up, Spencer turned to Lulu and said, “Sorry you’ll have to come with me.”
“Why are you apologizing? You’ve already surprised me by coming to pick me up after work even though you’re still not in the best of states. How could I let you go to the hospital alone?” Lulu replied with a warm smile.
Hearing that, Spencer held Lulu’s hand and pulled her into a gentle embrace.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital and entered Icyln’s room, where they were greeted by the sight of Icyln’s face, which was pale as sheet. “Didn’t the doctor say your injuries weren’t severe and that you’d recover quickly with some rest? Why do you look so weak?”
“Spencer.” Icyln called out, her voice reduced to a whisper as if she had exhausted all of her energy.
She then looked at Spencer with tears in her eyes.
Feeling a sense of urgency, Spencer said, “I’ll get the doctor.”
“It won’t help.” The assistant entered the ward with anxiety written all over her face. “Icyln just can’t seem to eat anything. The doctors have tried everything, but nothing seems to be working. What are we going to do if this continues?”
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2417-“Did she injure her mouth, or does she have a stomach issue? Why can’t she eat?” Lulu asked with a perplexed expression on her face.
It was during times like these that patients needed adequate nutrition the most, and yet, Icyln had not been eating anything at all. This was why she looked so weak, as if she could collapse at any moment.
“It’s neither. She just doesn’t have an appetite. When she eats, she throws up, and that in turn only worsens her condition. That’s why she’s avoiding eating altogether,” the assistant explained.
Lulu furrowed her brows in response. This was the first time she had heard of such a peculiar condition. She then glanced at Icyln, who did not seem to be faking it. However, for some reason, she could not muster any sympathy for her.
Lulu turned her gaze towards Spencer, seeking his opinion on the matter.
Spencer was also caught off guard, for this was the first time he had heard of such a medical condition.
Unsure of how to handle it, Spencer suggested, “How about calling the doctor again?”
The assistant shook her head. “The doctor said that even he is stumped by this strange condition and that there is nothing he can do.”
“What should we do then?”
After all, the practitioner who was tending to Icyln was quite renowned, so seeking help from other doctors might just yield similar results.
“Why don’t we get Dr. Wyance to help?” Lulu suggested to Spencer as she noticed the look of hesitation on his face.
“Can he come?” Spencer shook his head, uncertain.
In reply, Lulu bit her lip and said, “Let me call Nicole. Maybe she can ask him on our behalf.”
Surely Martin, as a respected figure, would consider coming to assist them for Nicole’s sake.
“Never mind…” The assistant attempted to intervene, but she was too late, for Lulu had already dialed Nicole’s number.
“Nicole, could you do us a favor?” Lulu asked before giving Nicole a brief explanation of the situation over the phone.
“Alright, I got it,” Nicole said, and hung up.
After the call, Lulu turned to Spencer and said, “Nicole has agreed to help. I think Dr. Wyance will likely come over.”
Then, Lulu reassured Icyln by saying, “Dr. Wyance is highly skilled, so you don’t have to worry. He’ll find a way to help you.”
Icyln’s pale face blanched, turning almost translucent at that point.
All she could do was grit her teeth and say, “Thank you.”
However, deep down, Icyln was extremely frustrated. She had not expected Lulu to come along. What surprised her even more was that Spencer did not seem to be the least bit concerned when he saw her in this state.
“Uh…” The assistant began to feel flustered, as she shot Icyln a few glances with an anxious look on her face.
Lulu squinted as she observed their reactions, and that was when a strange feeling began creeping in.
She had brought the best doctor in to assist them, so it made no sense to her as to why they would wear those looks.
After a short wait, Martin arrived at the hospital, accompanied by Nicole.
“Nicole!” Lulu exclaimed in surprise, feeling a twinge of guilt. “I can’t believe you came all this way to help.”
“I heard the situation is pretty serious, so I got a little concerned,” Nicole replied, looking at Spencer. “Shouldn’t you inform your mentor too?”
If there was indeed a problem, it would be better to give their mentor a heads-up instead of springing it on him suddenly.
“Good suggestion,” Spencer said, realizing it would be best to notify his teacher in advance.
“You don’t need to alert the teacher yet. Why don’t we let the doctor have a look first?” the assistant intervened promptly, feeling that the very phone call they were going to make was absolutely out of the question.
“Alright then, thank you, Dr. Wyance,” Lulu thanked Martin, and led the duo of Nicole and Spencer out. “Let’s wait outside.”
“Spencer.” Icyln instinctively called out as they were about to exit her room.
Stopping in his tracks, Spencer turned back to console her.” Get checked first, and well talk about the rest later.”
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2418-After that, Spencer, Lulu, and Nicole exited the room.
“Let’s begin.” Martin said, his voice calm yet detached.
“Thank you.” Icyln replied, thanking him through gritted teeth.
Outside the hospital room, Lulu pulled Nicole aside and lowered her voice, “Don’t you find that Icyln’s situation is a little strange?”
“What makes you say that?” Nicole asked, intrigued. ‘Did Lulu notice something?’
Then, Lulu recounted what she had observed to Nicole, who also found it puzzling. “Yes, it does seem unusual.”
As they had spoken, both of them turned to look at Spencer, as if a realization had dawned upon them.
Feeling a little flustered under their gaze, he asked, “Why are you both looking at me like that?”
“It’s nothing,” they said in unison before exchanging glances.
“Stay here for a moment; we’ll be back soon.”
Assuming they had something to discuss, Spencer agreed without thinking much of it. “Alright.”
After Nicole and Lulu had left, the both of them went to the doctor’s office and the nurse’s station.
“It’s true. She throws up whatever she eats. We’ve performed many tests on her but found no issues. The
doctor has tried everything he could think of, and nothing has worked,” one of the nurses said.
“Yeah, this has led us to suspect that it’s a psychological problem,” another added.
“Can’t say for sure. Perhaps she’s doing it on purpose,” another voice chimed in, causing everyone to turn towards the nurse who had just come out of a room.
“What did you say?” one her colleagues asked.
In response, the third nurse answered, “I’m telling you; I overheard them in her room yesterday. They were saying things like ‘No pain, no gain’, and something along the lines of, ‘He’ll come around only when I’m tough on myself. I didn’t catch all the details, but it definitely sounded fishy.
“Ahem. Don’t spout hogwash, Tina,” one of her colleagues warned.
“I really heard it, and I am definitely sure,” Tina insisted.
The nurse trying to dissuade Tina could only look at Nicole and Lulu awkwardly and say, “Ladies, this is all the information we have. Perhaps you should consult the doctor again.”
Tina suddenly noticed the two individuals standing outside the nurse’s station and instinctively, she asked, “Are you family members of one of our patients? How can I help?”
“They’re friends of that patient you just mentioned,” another colleague whispered to her.
Overwhelmed by a rush of panic, Tina quickly apologized,”
Sorry, I was just talking nonsense.”
She had thought that the other nurses were gossiping about Icyln, not realizing that the women in front of her had likely enquired her co-workers about it. ‘Oh, I’m definitely in trouble. I’ve been gossiping about the patient behind her back, and her friends have heard it.’
Lulu instantly beamed. “As long as what you said is true, it’s okay. Thank you!”
She then grabbed Nicole’s hand and walked away, leaving the few bewildered nurses to stare at each other in confusion. ‘What just happened?’
Back at the entrance of the ward, Martin was standing outside while Spencer had disappeared, indicating that he must have gone in.
After giving the two of them a quick glance, Martin shook his head in defeat. “Her condition is indeed peculiar. We can’t identify the cause, so it’s probably psychological. It’s probably a response to her injury.”
“Thanks for your help. It’s quite late, and I’ve called you at this hour. You must not have had dinner. Let me treat you to a meal as a token of my appreciation,” Nicole proposed with a faint smile.
After all, it was Nicole who had requested Martin’s assistance. It was dinner time for everyone, and since Martin had made his way here without hesitation, they should not allow him to leave with an empty stomach.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2419-“I’ll treat both of you. After all, it’s all because of Spencer’s junior.” Lulu said, feeling that she and Spencer should be the ones to thank Martin.
“Aren’t you staying?” Nicole raised an eyebrow meaningfully and gestured towards the room, hinting for Lulu to stay behind.
It was clear that this entire incident was another one of Icyln’s schemes. Earlier, Spencer had entered the room while Lulu was gone, giving Icyln an opportunity to pull her tricks.
Surprisingly, Lulu brushed it off, saying, “She’s not important. Thanking Dr. Wyance is our priority here.”
Furthermore, if Spencer left, Icyln’s condition might never improve.
Seeing that Lulu had made up her mind, Nicole agreed,” Alright then.”
“Hey, Spencer. Nicole, Dr. Wyance, and I are going out for dinner. Come find us when you’re done, or if it gets too late, just head home,” Lulu announced before closing the hospital room door and leaving.
Inside the room, Spencer had not even gotten a chance to respond.
All he could do was stare at the door blankly. ‘Are they all leaving me behind to have dinner?’
Icyln was also baffled by this. Lulu had just walked away like that, and for some reason, she felt so unusually anxious.
“Icyln, why not listen to Dr. Wyance’s advice and try consuming some liquid food?” the assistant asked in an anxious, concerned manner.
“Alright.” Icyln nodded hesitantly.
The assistant had just poured the congee out into a bowl when she smacked her forehead in frustration. “Oh no, the doctor had asked me to get some medication.”
Then, she looked at Spencer with a troubled expression on her face. “Could you please look after Icyln for a moment? I’ll be back shortly.”
The assistant placed the bowl of congee in Spencer’s hands before leaving in a hurry, causing him to crease his forehead as he stared at it.
“Sorry for the trouble, Spencer,” Icyln uttered in a frail voice.
Spencer could not neglect Icyln, and so, feeling defeated, he summoned a nurse to help feed Icyln.
Though reluctant, Icyln was forced to open her mouth as Spencer’s gaze remained fixed on her. But as soon as the first spoonful entered her mouth, she spat it out, seeming even weaker than before.
Seeing that Icyln was still incapable of swallowing, Spencer voiced his concern, “If this doesn’t work, maybe we should contact our mentor and ask him to arrange for you to return
home for treatment.”
“No.” Icyln’s expression changed instantly, unwilling to contemplate the possibility of returning home at this juncture.
Spencer and Lulu’s wedding was approaching. If she left now, there would be no reason for her to come back. Even if she did, Spencer would have already been married, and none of her efforts would mean anything by that point.
Noting her reluctance to leave, Spencer could only patiently advise, “If you keep going this way, your health will only deteriorate. Perhaps the medical treatment back in your country will help.”
Left with no option, Icyln gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll give it another try.”
After all, she could not allow herself to be sent away. Once she left, there would be no second chances.
With that, the nurse fed Icyln another spoon of congee again, and she reluctantly managed to swallow it.
Feeling a little hopeful, Spencer encouraged, “You’re doing well. Now, try a bit more.”
As long as she could eat, she could gradually recover.
After a while, Icyln’s assistant returned, only to find a nursing assistant feeding Icyln.
This prompted her to freeze in astonishment. ‘Well, what’s the point of all our efforts?’
“I’m done eating,” Icyln said, snapping the assistant out of her daze.
Having taken the cue from Icyln, she said, “The doctor has said not to consume too much during the initial feeding, so it’s better to start with this.”
After the nurse had placed the bowl down and walked away, Spencer turned to the assistant and said, “Since everything’s fine now, take good care of her. I’ll be on my way.”
“Spencer, can’t you stay for a while?” Icyln pleaded pitifully.
MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2420-“You have yet to recover, so you should rest more. I will come and pick you up along with the rest of our colleagues when you’re fit for discharge,” Spencer comforted.
Knowing that Spencer would not stay anymore, Icyln feebly said, “Please be safe.”
She also knew that Spencer was in a rush to meet Lulu. However, there was nothing else which she could do to make him stay. So, he had to let him go.
‘What an annoying b*tch! Lulu is always ruining my chances. I’m sure my plan would’ve worked if Lulu did not follow him,’ she fumed.
All Icyln could do was watch as Spencer abandoned her and catch up after Lulu.
“You should sleep early tonight. Remember to call the doctor when you’re not feeling well.” Spencer reminded Icyln, after which he closed the door and left.
After Spencer was gone, Icyln threw the bowl to the ground and smashed it out of anger.
For the past two days, she had abstained from eating and drinking, all so that she could appear weak and miserable. She was hoping that Spencer would pity her when he visited her. Unfortunately, her efforts had all gone down the drain, making it so that she had suffered for nothing.
“Miss? What are we going to do now?” Icyln’s personal assistant asked in a gentle voice while cleaning up the mess.
“I’ve already suffered an injury and I’ve even starved myself to give them a pitiful front. Why are they not working at all?’ Icyln wondered.
It was then that a wicked glint crossed Icyln’s eyes, and she gritted her teeth. “I will not suffer all these for nothing!”
Meanwhile, Spencer had left the hospital, and was on his way to Lulu’s location after he had been notified of where they were. When he arrived, dinner had just been served, and the four of them dug in as they chatted away.
“How’s Icyln?” Lulu asked.
“She ate some congee. I guess she’s sleeping now.” Spencer replied.
Lulu widened her eyes in surprise, “She actually ate something?”
‘Wasn’t she putting on a show? Has she already admitted defeat so soon?’ Lulu wondered.
“Yeah, she ate some.” Spencer added without giving it much thought.
After that, he turned to Martin and said, “Thank you. She’s a lot better now.”
“Don’t mention it. I did not do much,” Martin responded promptly, seeing that Nicole and Lulu did not have anything to say about it.
He understood the situation and had decided to refrain from talking about the issue. All he did was give Nicole and Lulu a bullet of a glance before looking away.
They have had that conversation way before Spencer joined them for dinner, and from the very beginning, Martin had already felt that Icyln was in a healthy condition. When paired with what Nicole and Lulu had heard, Martin could tell that Icyln was putting on a show.
“I guess we have nothing to worry about since she’s fine now. Let’s just eat.” Lulu changed the topic of conversation, not wanting to talk about Icyln anymore.
She felt that it was better if she kept certain things to herself.
After dinner, all of them left the restaurant together.
“Martin, I’m sending Lulu home first. Do you mind sending Nicole back?” Spencer asked Martin.
He felt that if Nicole were to follow them, she would reach home a little later, and above it all, he wanted Nicole to go home and get some sleep earlier.
“Sure thing!” Martin nodded, having understood what Spencer was thinking.
After they had split up, both cars went their separate ways, with Spencer sending Lulu home, and Martin doing the same for Nicole.
“You haven’t visited me for a long time. How have you been? ” Martin queried.
“I’ve been quite busy.” Nicole explained. “I’ve yet to recover my memories, but I’ve managed to discover a few things after getting some information about the situation. And surprisingly, I did not get any headache from these revelations.”
“That’s a good sign.” Martin smiled.
This definitely proved that Nicole’s condition had improved. Perhaps she would even stand a chance at recovering all of her memories.
