Ch. 2921..2925: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 2921-2925
Chapter 2921
Nicole didn’t exactly agree with Patricia’s approach, but she got where she was coming from.
“I’ll whip up some easy pasta for you,” Lulu said, already on her way to the kitchen.
Twenty minutes later, she returned with a plate of pasta, setting it down in front of Patricia and encouraging her, “Try some, okay?”
Patricia paused for a second before responding, “Thanks.” She was aware of everyone’s concern for her and didn’t want to let them down.
Once she finished eating, Patricia looked up at Nicole. “Ms. Riddle, why do you want me to come with you?”
“We’re going to see Martin,” Nicole answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Patricia instinctively touched her cheek, understanding Nicole’s intention. She knew Nicole wanted to ask Martin if there was any other way to treat her face.
She didn’t want to go, not wanting to give herself false hope, but looking at Nicole and Lulu, she found it hard to refuse and finally agreed, “Okay.”
“Let’s go, we’ll see what can be done, and then you can rest easy,” Lulu said confidently, believing Martin could help.
The group quickly left the apartment, heading toward Martin’s lab.
“In the car, Patricia spoke softly to Nicole, “I might need a longer rest.”
“It’s okay, your injury is what matters most,” Nicole replied softly, her voice soothing.
Patricia nodded slightly. She felt she might not be able to return to work soon, not just physically, but emotionally too. She needed time to recover.
‘Accepting this calmly is easier said than done. Only time can help,’ she thought.
Arriving at the lab, Martin looked surprised to see them so early. “You all…” he started, surprised they didn’t call ahead.
“We need you to check her injury,” Nicole said, getting straight to the point.
Martin’s gaze fell on Patricia’s cheek, his brow furrowing slightly. He had initially thought Patricia’s injury was minor, but seeing Nicole bring her in, he realized it must be severe.
There was a moment of hesitation before Martin said,” Come with me.”
Cindy, with a tray of water in hand, greeted Nicole and Lulu,” Let Martin have a look. You guys can wait here.”
Nicole got ready to follow Patricia, visibly worried about her.
“Sure,” Lulu said, easily going along, and joined Cindy in the waiting area.
Cindy watched as Nicole followed Martin and Patricia.
Jokingly, Lulu nudged her, “What, can’t keep your eyes off Martin for even a minute?”
Cindy gave her a look, then asked, “Is she a doctor or nurse too?” She was curious about why Nicole needed to be in the examination room with Patricia and Martin.
“Nah, she’s just really concerned about Patricia, I think.”
“I see,” Cindy said, a little puzzled but didn’t press further.
Meanwhile, in the examination room, Martin was carefully checking Patricia’s wound before applying a fresh dressing.
Chapter 2922
Sighing, Martin and Nicole exchanged a serious glance.
Without speaking, they both understood how serious the cut injury on Patricia’s face.
“It’s not possible, is it?” Patricia asked, already guessing the answer from their silence.
Seeing Patricia’s calm demeanor, Martin decided to be direct. “I can’t completely rule it out, but your case is indeed serious. The cut is deep, and the angle makes it difficult to heal properly.”
Patricia listened, her expression indifferent as if Martin was talking about someone else’s problem.
Martin, surprised by her composure, turned to Nicole. “She’s definitely one of your people.”
Usually, people would be devastated, but Patricia’s calmness was rare. Her situation was too obvious to hide, making even attempts at consolation seem superficial.
Martin asked, “You seem to understand the situation well. Do you want to try my treatment? I can’t guarantee full recovery, but I can try.”
Patricia hesitated. The uncertainty meant there was a high chance of failure, potentially leading to disappointment.
Before Patricia could respond, Nicole stepped in. “We’ll do it your way. She’ll cooperate. And I’ll help you.”
Nicole knew Patricia might choose to give up, but she couldn’t let that happen.
“Ms. Riddle…” Patricia bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She didn’t want to go through the treatment without being sure of success.
Nicole patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t give up. It can’t be worse than now.”
Patricia’s eyes widened slightly. ‘She’s right. It can’t get worse than this.’ Biting her lip, Patricia nodded. “Okay, I’ll cooperate.”
Regardless of the outcome, she didn’t want to let down Nicole’s efforts.
Nicole smiled, relieved. “Good, it’s decided then.”
After discussing the treatment plan briefly, Nicole and Patricia left Martin’s lab.
“Wow, that was quick,” Lulu said, surprised to see them come out so soon.
Cindy approached, asking, “How did it go?”
“Let’s give it a try,” Martin said solemnly.
Lulu sighed, understanding that even Martin was uncertain.
Cindy offered to see them out, but Nicole declined. “We’ll find our way out. Let’s not disrupt your work.”
As they left, Cindy looked worried. “Is Patricia’s condition that serious?”
Seeing Martin’s concerned expression, Cindy realized Patricia’s wound would indeed leave her a visible scar.
“Yea.” Martin pondered abit before saying, “I need to think about the treatment plan.”
“I’ll help you with that,” Cindy offered, following Martin to his office.
Meanwhile, Nicole comforted Patricia. “We’ll take you home. Rest well, and we’ll figure out a solution.”
Patricia nodded, deciding to face the situation bravely and positively.
Chapter 2923
After leaving Martin’s lab, Patricia felt a mix of emotions.’ Ms. Riddle hasn’t given up, so how can I just give up on myself?’ she thought.
During the car ride, Lulu kept comforting Patricia, who gradually started to open up a bit more.
Once they got back to the apartment, Nicole and Lulu watched Patricia go inside before instructing the driver to leave.
“Nicole, can Patricia really be okay?” Lulu asked, her calm demeanor fading into worry.
In front of Patricia, she had been careful not to show her concern. Patricia was already feeling down, and Lulu didn’t want to add to her stress.
But now, alone with Nicole, Lulu couldn’t hold back her worries anymore.
“We’ll figure something out with Martin,” Nicole said with determination in her eyes.
“But even Martin didn’t seem sure,” Lulu sighed. “In this world, it seems like only two people might be able to save Patricia.”
“Two people?” Nicole looked at Lulu, puzzled.
“’Doctor Miracle’ and ‘Ghost Hand’,” Lulu shrugged, referring to their renowned skills. “But they’re so mysterious. Even Chloe struggled to find them.”
“There’s only one left then,” Nicole muttered to herself.
Lulu, overhearing her, asked, “Why?”
Nicole sighed, shaking her head. She had no certainty, just a hope that she and Martin could find a solution, and if not, she might have to ask her mentor for help, despite the possibility of getting scolded.
Nicole, touching her nose, admitted, “If Martin and I can’t do it, I’ll have to ask my mentor for help, no matter what.”
“We can’t let Patricia live her life in gloom,” Nicole resolved.
“Do you know something?” Lulu asked, sensing Nicole’s heavy heart.
Nicole explained the situation to Lulu.
“Really?!” Lulu’s eyes widened in surprise, then she nodded, understanding.
“No wonder!”
Lulu realized Nicole’s medical expertise could be the key. With ‘Doctor Miracle’ and ‘Ghost Hand’ so elusive, Nicole was their best chance, especially since she had been out of reach for five years due to her memory loss.
Lulu sighed, “Chloe really messed with the wrong person.”
But now, there was hope for Patricia’s injury.
Returning to Riddle Corporation, Nicole and Lulu went to their respective offices.
Nicole sat down and began pondering potential treatments for Patricia’s injury.
Over at his office, Jared was getting an update: the folks they’d nabbed were actually Scorpio’s guys, and they were after Charlie.
“Mr. Johnston, they’re likely to think twice before trying anything like this again,”
Max said, his voice tight with anger and sympathy for Patricia’s injury.
“Let Seth look after Charlie, and have Charlie break the news to Patricia,” Jared said seriously.
“Understood,” Max responded, aware that Charlie had formally suggested Patricia’s retirement and Jared had agreed. The decision would calm Charlie’s concerns.
“How are they holding up?” Jared asked.
“Mrs. Johnston’s at Riddle Corp now, but Patricia’s condition may be worse than we feared,” Max answered solemnly
Chapter 2924
"If even Nicole can't find a way, then it's really hopeless," Jared said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Known secretly as 'Ghost Hand,' a famed yet enigmatic doctor, Nicole, along with Martin, was their best shot.
If even they couldn't sort out Patricia's facial injury, it really did seem like a tall order.
"Mrs. Johnston is working on a solution.
I believe she can handle it, " Max said with a bit of confidence.
Jared nodded, knowing Nicole would do everything she could.
He then asked Max about the preparations for their next move.
"Everything's ready, just waiting for them to act," Max replied seriously.
“We must ensure it's foolproof," Jared said, his demeanor cold and decisive.
"Mr. Johnston, don't worry," Max assured him.
After Max left Jared's office, he conveyed the information to Charlie.
Charlie, upon hearing the news, felt a sense of relief and joy.
' Patricia can get out safely, no strings attached,' he thought, feeling thankful.
In their line of work, leaving the organization was usually only an option when you were seriously hurt.
Choosing to leave on your own meant facing tough challenges from the organization.
Knowing all this, Charlie was truly happy for Patricia.
It was a rare chance to get out without undergoing severe trials, especially with so many secrets at stake.
Meanwhile, Seth updated Charlie about Nicole taking Patricia away that morning.
He mentioned that Nicole was trying to find a way to heal Patricia's wound.
"Is there really a way?" Charlie asked, a bit surprised.
Seth shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but if Mrs. Johnston is trying, there must be some hope." "Let's give it a try," Charlie said, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
'If there's a chance to recover, we can't just give up, no matter what.' As the day came to an end, Jared and Nicole visited her parents’ home.
Dinner was ready, and Gloria greeted them with a smile.
"Let's eat.
Tia wheeled Mrs. Wallace Sr.
into the room, joining everyone gathered around the table.
Gloria, looking at Tia, said with a laugh, "Don't worry, we're preparing a room for you and Stanley.
It's still under renovation." Tia blushed slightly, "No rush." "Good, but we still need to prepare," Gloria smiled warmly.
Then she turned to Stanley, ''Take Tia shopping when you're free.
It's time to start buying things for the wedding." Even though the wedding date wasn't set yet, Gloria wanted to get everything ready as soon as possible.
"okay," Stanley agreed, happy to spend time shopping with Tia, whether for the wedding or just to buy gifts she would like.
Chapter 2925
After dinner, Tia, blushing at Stanley's response, wheeled Mrs. Wallace Sr. out of the room.
Stanley followed, offering to help.
Gloria watched Stanley's caring gestures and felt a sense of relief." I can finally relax now," she said, smiling contentedly.
Nicole joked with Gloria, "Guess you don't have to worry about any of us anymore." Gloria turned to Nicole, and sensing Gloria's next question, Nicole quickly changed the topic.
"Mom, I'll go check on Nolan and Lana, " she said, pulling Jared with her as they quickly went upstairs.
She had a hunch that if they stayed, the conversation might turn to her and Jared, which she wasn't ready for.
Gloria shook her head at Nicole's hasty departure.
"This girl..." "Don't interfere in her matters," Daniel advised Gloria.
He knew about Nicole and Jared's situation and didn't want to pressure them.
Gloria sighed, agreeing not to pry.
She trusted Nicole and Jared to sort things out on their own.
"Let's go rest," Daniel suggested, and they headed upstairs.
Meanwhile, Stanley waited in the living room after helping Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr. settle in.
Tia came out with a glass of water for Stanley.
"Here, drink this," she said.
Feeling a bit nervous, Tia told Stanley he didn't need to go shopping with her just yet.
Stanley smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry.
We're not shopping for wedding stuff, just going out for a date." Tia's cheeks turned even redder at the mention of a date.
"What do you want to do?" Stanley asked softly.
“Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you," Tia replied shyly.
Stanley looked at her with affection.
"I'll make it unforgettable," he promised, already planning their first official date.
Upstairs, Nicole and Jared checked on Nolan and Lana.
Surprisingly, they found Nolan building blocks with Lana instead of playing video games.
Nolan looked up at Nicole.
"Mommy, I can't play that game anymore.
If I do, I might win," he said seriously.
Nicole glanced at the computer, confirming his restraint.
"That's right," she agreed.
Jared asked Nicole about Preston and his team's progress on the tracking program.
Nicole shook her head.
"No news from them yet, probably still working on it."
