Ch. 266..270: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 266-270

Chapter 266

Karen wanted to say something, but seeing the powerful – looking soldiers behind Nicole, she said nothing as she hid in her room in a panic and called Dillon.

“That Nicole seemed to have really cured the old man! Damn it all!” Dillon was lying on the executive chair in the office doing nothing and almost jumped up in shock as he heard that.

“What did you say?” Karen immediately told Dillon what she saw, and after hearing that, Dillon’s heart was beating wildly as he grabbed his coat and rushed home.

‘How could that be?’ ‘That Nicole actually managed to cure the old man even when the best surgeons in San Joto only have a fifty percent assurance.

Who did she call?’ Along the way, countless thoughts appeared in Dillon’s head.

He suddenly remembered the people who took Mr. Riddle Sr.

away.

That mixed-blooded doctor did not look like some pushover, but Nicole said that they were actors she hired. “Could it be that Nicole was lying to me?’ After realizing it, Dillon was flushed red as he quickly gave Snow a call.

“Snow, have you done what Dad asked you to?” Snow was taking the pink diamond Harvey gave her to the best jewelry store in San Joto, thinking of putting the diamond on a matching right so that she could wear it and show it off to everyone. At this moment, when she got the call from an angry Dillon, she was

a little stunned. To be honest, after looking at the diamond, she had totally forgotten what Dillon had asked her to do.

A look of guilt flashed across Snow’s face, but she quickly recomposed herself as she said,” I’ve told Harvey already.

What happened, Dad?” Dillon then spat in a frenzy, “Nicole seemed to have cured your grandpa! Quick, come back with Raine quickly!” When Snow heard this, she was taken aback.

“Didn’t the best doctors in San Joto say there’s only a fifty percent chance to cure him? Nicole actually managed to do that?” Dillon, too, did not want to believe that, and he hissed coldly.

“Told you to act faster.

See what happens now.

The limelight is all on Nicole now!” As he said that, he hung up the phone angrily as he continued to grumble about Snow.

Snow had never been yelled at like this before.

She looked at her darkened phone screen as her expression turned sullen.

She then said to the driver in front. “Turn around, pick up Raine and go back to the Riddle family manor!” The driver acknowledged and drove the car toward the Royal Creek Institute.

Raine had only just finished her class, and before she could go to ask Gary out for a date, she saw her elder sister waiting for her at the gate.

Realizing something, she could only say goodbye to Gary and hurriedly walked out. Gary was not too concerned about Raine.

His mind had been focused on that signature for the past few days now.

He had applied to join the Hunters but had not heard back yet. Nicole had been absent since last Friday.

Gary put away his phone into his pocket, and a slight look of irritation appeared on his face. He currently had no way to reach the apex circle of hackers, and using his channels to seek out Lucifer netted him nothing. He put his hands into his trouser pockets as a look of conflict appeared on his face. A few seconds later, as if he had made up his mind, he walked toward the school gate.

Back at the Riddle family manor, Nicole helped Mr. Riddle Sr.

to settle down and then ran another check to him to ensure that the journey did not cause any damage to his body.

It was only then she was relieved.

She turned around and looked at the others.

The chill in her eyes slowly faded away, her voice gentle.

“Thank you.” The few special forces looked at each other.

As Nicole looked at them, they were at a loss for words.

 

Chapter 267

The leading special force soldier could only ask respectfully.

“Miss Riddle, is there anything else that you need?” Nicole shook her head.

Seeing that, the soldiers immediately snapped into a salute as he spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Second squad mission complete.

Withdraw!” The soldiers left the room in huge strides when they saw Damien standing outside the room.

The few of them stopped and looked at him for a few seconds before letting out a solemn smile. “Mr. Riddle, please take good care of Miss Riddle.

If we find out that anyone dares to bully her.

We will definitely pay San Joto a visit.” At this moment, Damien’s expression got even more serious. He had originally thought that they were just acquaintances.

He did not expect those people to be so protective of her. He really started to wonder who this Nicole was who came back from the countryside. At the same moment, the few special forces saluted Daniel and Gloria before leaving. Seeing that Daniel and his wife were being treated better than he was, Damien fumed as a somewhat complicated look finally appeared on his face. He had tried everything to get into a relationship with others, and perhaps he looked like a veritable clown in their eyes.

Thinking of the difference in treatment and attitude Daniel and his wife received when compared to him, a touch of jealousy never before seen appeared on Damien’s face.

‘Daniel is a literal nobody.

What right does he have to be treated like that?’ The more Damien thought about it, the gloomier he got.

Daniel did not look at him as he rushed into the room to see Mr. Riddle Sr.

When he saw the latter breathing steadily, he gently heaved a sigh of relief.. Heavens knew that his biggest fear was seeing his own relatives falling sick. After all, he was all too familiar with that feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.

He then looked at Nicole, his eyes bright.

“Nicole, when will grandpa wake up?” Gloria nudged him a little, hinting him to ask a few questions less.

She looked at Nicole and said worriedly, “You haven’t had a good rest, right? Go and take a nap.

We’ll be here.” Nicole shook her head as she stood by the window, her face pale as snow, yet her expression indifferent.

“Grandpa should wake up before long.

I’ll go after he wakes up.” As the few spoke, Damien came in as well and heard what Nicole said.

A suspicious look appeared on his face as he said, “Really? Dad will wake up soon? You aren’t pulling my leg, right?” This was heart surgery.

It being successful was already a good thing.

Could it be possible for someone to wake up two days after the operation? Nicole could not be bothered by his performance.

Daniel, on the other hand, answered very patiently.

“Nicole will not lie to us.

Damien, let’s just wait.” Damien frowned a little.

He did not believe Nicole, but he was concerned about what the special force soldier had said, so he said nothing.

He could only sit by Mr. Riddle Sr.’s bed and did not give anyone else a look. Gloria went to the kitchen to make some remedies.

She was really distressed seeing Nicole’s complexion as she could tell Nicole had not been sleeping well.

Just as Gloria was about to leave, Nicole suddenly noticed Mr. Riddle Sr.’s fingers moving slightly.

She quickly walked over, and seeing that his eyes were starting to move, she was completely relieved now. Nicole gave Daniel a look, motioning him to stay here as she turned around and left the room. Damien did not understand Nicole’s action, but just as he was about to say something, she had already disappeared. Daniel, on the other hand, remembered Nicole saying that she would stay until Mr. Riddle Sr. woke up.

‘If she left, does that mean…’ Just as he entertained that thought, Mr. Riddle Sr. suddenly let out a slight cough as if expelling the

turbid air long accumulated within him.

Daniel’s eyes immediately lit up, but Damien called out even faster than he could.

“Dad, you’re finally awake!”

 

Chapter 268

Mr. Riddle Sr., who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and saw the anxious Damien by his side.

He stretched his hand out and patted the latter’s hand to comfort him.

After that, his gaze trailed away, seemingly looking for something.

He then saw Daniel standing behind Mr. Riddle.

Sr, with the ventilation tubes on his face, let out a faint smile. He waved at Daniel as if trying to beckon this silent son over. Daniel was taken aback and walked over with some hesitation. Mr. Riddle Sr.

had never liked him much.

He thought that his father would have preferred to see Damien first, so he did not rush forward. When Damien saw Mr. Riddle Sr. grasping Daniel’s hand with a look of relief in his eyes, an imperceptible cold glint appeared in his eyes.

‘This was a mistake in the choice I made.

Otherwise, Daniel would not have gotten this advantage!’ As he thought of this, Damien seemingly stared daggers at Daniel.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Daniel, the son he had somewhat neglected all this while.

He wanted to say something to only belatedly realize that the ventilation tubes were inserted into both his mouth and nose, making him unable to utter a single word.

He was unhappy having those tubes stuck into him and wanted to pull them off. Nicole returned at this very moment as she held a small white pill in her hand.

She placed the cup of water and pill by the side as she said under the curious gaze of the three present.

“This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor.” After that, she deftly took off the oxygen mask and tubing from Mr. Riddle Sr and handed him the medicine.

“Eat it.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole.

He wanted to refuse, yet for some reason, a part of him trusted Nicole, causing him to open his mouth and eat the medicine. He had no idea that it was a special intuition a person has toward their savior. Although Mr. Riddle Sr. was still in a daze and was not fully conscious.

Yet he still had a perception of what was happening in the world outside.

While his brain had not reacted, his body had already helped him make this most primitive judgment. “He can be fed with a liquid diet half an hour later.” Mr. Riddle Sr. swallowed the medicine and watched as Nicole took care of the medical devices on his body in an orderly fashion before leaving.

There was a sense of familiarity welling with him, causing him to feel close to her. Under the bright operating theater lights, the assistants going back and forth, and the cold voice over his head, “Open the wound.” . “Coronary angiography.” “Angioscope.” “Stent.” “Hemostat.” “Alright.

Apply the suture.” Gradually, the voice seemed to merge together with Nicole’s voice by his side.

Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole’s back in a daze that he did not even listen to what Damien was saying to him.

He looked on for a few seconds and wanted to get out of bed.

Damien watched on as Mr. Riddle Sr., who was watching Nicole leaving.

He felt that something was gradually slipping out of his control.

He clenched his fist and looked at the empty door with an unpredictable glint in his eyes. Daniel heard what Nicole said and quickly stopped Mr. Riddle Sr.

from trying to get out of the bed as he shook his head at him.

“Dad, you cannot get out of bed yet.” Mr. Riddle Sr.

realized that he was really weak, so he nodded weakly and lay down again.

 

Chapter 269

The main door downstairs suddenly opened as Dillon rushed in worriedly.

His eyes wandered around the hall, and what he imagined did not happen.

It only then did his expression ease.

He knew that Nicole had no way to cure Mr. Riddle Sr! As he thought of it, he went upstairs and found that Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room door was opened, “It couldn’t be… right…” Dillon thought, ‘Did that old man really recover?’ He walked toward Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room in surprise as he pushed the door open undecidedly. Mr. Riddle Sr.had already seen his silhouette and squinted his eyes as he watched his movements.

Seeing that him pushing the door open to ascertain something, without any intention of coming in to see him, a cold glint flashed across Mr. Riddle Sr’s eyes as he let out a heavy grunt. Dillon heard the grunt and was trembling in fear, almost falling down in the process.

He stood back up in embarrassment and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw the old man leaning against the head of the bed, looking at him with a pair of vigorous eyes.

He cursed in his heart as he ran over to Mr. Riddle Sr’s side.

As he smiled flatteringly.

“Dad! You’re finally well! I was worried about you!” After saying that, he wanted to push Daniel, who had not much presence, aside. Who knew that Mr.Riddle Sr. grabbed onto Daniel’s hand and ignored Dillon altogether as he closed his eyes and turned his head away. He was not blind.

‘Dillon clearly did not look like he was worried about him just now.’ ‘He was just here to see whether he was dead or not! He thought. Dillon was stunned when he saw that.

He looked on disbelievingly at Mr. Riddle Sr’s attitude, and his heart immediately sank. Damien glanced at him, a glint appearing beneath his glasses. At this moment, Steve and Sean had come home.

They rushed up immediately upon arriving, and upon seeing Mr. Riddle Sr.

breathing normally on the bed, they let out a sigh of relief. Stanley, Spencer, and Samuel, too, rushed in at this moment.

Seeing his grandsons, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

Samuel immediately exclaimed in surprise.

“Grandpa! You’re cured!” ‘Nicole really cured grandpa!’ He wanted to rush over, but Spencer immediately pulled him by the collar.

“Don’t rush.

Grandpa has not fully recovered yet.” It was rare that Samuel did not talk back.

He could see that Mr. Riddle Sr.was weak and obediently stopped.

Seeing the few calm and well-behaved grandchildren before him, a look of comfort appeared in Mr.Riddle Sr.’s eyes. His voice was a little hoarse from his sickness, but it was still very powerful. “Since you’ve all come back, stay for the night.

I’ll get the housekeeper to prepare dinner for all of you.” After surviving this ordeal, Mr.Riddle Sr.would cherish these grandchildren of his a little bit more.

“Nice! We’ll stay back and accompany you tonight, Grandpa!” Spencer nodded in agreement.

This was the first time that Mr. Riddle Sr. realized that Daniel’s children were particularly adorable. Upon seeing that Daniel’s sons were all present and seeing the former bringing his sons over to flatter the old man as soon as he came back, Dillon wanted to get angry.

Yet before he could open his mouth, Mr. Riddle Sr.’s cold glance swept over as if to tell him that he had no right to speak here. Dillon opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He was a little annoyed with his father’s attitude, yet he could not understand what caused the current situation he was in. Downstairs, Nicole was alone for some peace and quiet.

Chapter 270

Gloria had just walked out of the kitchen, and Nicole was holding a bowl of hot soup she had prepared for her.

She drank it without any expression and said, “Thanks, Mom.” ‘The base is all fine and dandy, but the chef is just nowhere as good as Gloria’s cooking.’ “Really.

You look really haggard over these past two days.

You must’ve gone through a lot.” Thinking Nicole taking care of Mr. Riddle Sr.

for the past few days, Gloria could not help but feel distressed. “It’s fine.

It’s my duty.

Only when grandpa gets better that you two will be at ease.” If it were not for her parents, she would not have activated the branch for the sake of the old man. However, seeing that both Gloria and Daniel were at peace now, she felt everything was worth it. “Silly girl.

You need to take good care of yourself for mom not to worry.” Her dark circles were so pronounced it was clear that she had not been resting well for the past few days. “Alright, once we get home, I’ll take a good rest.” With Mr. Riddle Sr. now hale again, she could indeed relax.

“Good.” Gloria nodded, feeling relieved.

As the two spoke, Dexter and Emma came back with Ellar and Emery in tow. Even Miley brought Everett over to visit. Karen rushed over with Preston, and Snow and Raine arrived at last for fear of missing the

opportunity.

Yet when they arrived, they were still last no matter how they rushed! But they had no other way but to just bite the bullet and head in to see the old man now. Mr. Riddle Sr’s awakening was a big matter, and everyone in the Riddle family rushed home, almost filling his room to the brim. Mr. Riddle Sr. leaned against the bed as he looked at everyone.

Although his face was pale, he still had a presence and vigor about him. The only difference was that normally he would be flanked by Damien and Dillon.

Yet this time around, Daniel took Dillon’s place.

He glanced at everyone calmly, yet the gaze still bore an air of authority.

“Take a seat.” Mr. Riddle Sr.’s room was large, so everyone found a spot to sit down.

After Dillon sat down, he looked at his original spot, now taken by Daniel, and a look of resentment appeared in his eyes. Nicole sat to the left of her elder brother while Samuel sat to her right.

Snow brought Raine over to express concern.

“Grandpa, you’re finally well! You really scared “Yeah, Grandpa! You scared us by falling so ill so suddenly!” As Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at their eyes, his anger toward Dillon subsided a little. His eyes gradually became calmer as he said, “Good girls, at least you still know how to worry about grandpa.

Grandpa didn’t love you guys for nothing.” Snow and Raine both nodded and wanted to sit by grandpa’s side as usual.

Yet they found that the person sitting beside grandpa was not their father but that inconspicuous Uncle Daniel.

While their father, Dillon, was seated right next to the door! Snow and Raine had normally sat by grandpa’s side because of Dillon, but at this moment, the person sitting on their spot was Nicole.

A look of jealousy gushed in their eyes as their fingernails bit deep into their palm.

Raine did not hide her disgust as she said, “Uncle Daniel, why are you sitting at my father’s spot? Don’t you know where you should be seated?” Nicole ignored her, but Samuel retorted, “Who stipulated that this spot is yours?” . Raine sneered in return.

“Who doesn’t know that Uncle Daniel can’t do anything in the company at all.

What right does he have to sit by grandpa’s side?”
