Ch. 3011..3015: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 3011-3015

Chapter 3011

Nicole pondered briefly and suggested, "I’ll remind him to come home early when he's not too busy and

spend some time with his parents."

"Being busy is fine, but Emma's concerned about Ellar. She thinks he looks thinner, and his complexion

isn't great," remarked Gloria. "Make sure to tell him to take care of his health."

"Got it," Nicole agreed.

She knew Ellar hesitated to come home, fearing his condition would be noticed.

Luckily, there was progress in the experiment. She aimed to spare Ellar from undergoing more drug

tests. His health was a priority for her.

"I also think we should help Ellar find a girlfriend to look after him. He might not know how to take care

of himself," Stanley suggested.

Gloria shot Stanley a disdainful look. "You weren't thrilled when I pushed for marriage, and now you're

doing the same to others."

If that approach worked, Emma would have given it a shot by now.

The main problem was they rarely saw Ellar, let alone had the opportunity to discuss it.

Stanley, surprised by the reaction, quickly conceded. "Never mind, forget I mentioned anything."

"Mom, tell Emma not to worry. I'll talk to Ellar," Nicole assured Gloria.

"Great, he listens to you. Convince him," Gloria said, satisfied. It would also be a good explanation for

Emma.

As they chatted, breakfast concluded, and Tia arrived to pick up Nolan and Lana.

Nolan and Lana put on their backpacks and headed toward Tia.

"Nicole, I'll take them to school now," Tia informed her.

"Sure," Nicole replied with a smile.

"Wait for me," Stanley chimed in. He got up and joined them as they left.

"Mom, Dad, we're heading to the office now," Nicole said, as she and Jared prepared to leave for work.

Gloria nodded in agreement, "Alright, be careful on the road.”

After leaving the house and getting into the car, they were on their way.

"Let's drop by the hospital first," Nicole whispered.

Patricia was still in the hospital, and Nicole was unsure about her current condition.

"Sure," Max replied, directing the car toward the hospital. Upon arriving, Nicole got out of the car and

turned to Jared," You go ahead to the Johnston Group. Don't wait for me; Lulu will be joining me

shortly."

"Okay," Jared agreed and left.

Nicole walked into the hospital and headed to the ward. To her surprise, she saw Patricia sitting next to

the bed, and it was Ellar who was lying there.

"Ms. Riddle," Patricia stood up immediately as Nicole entered.

"What's happening?" Nicole asked, confused. She thought,' Wasn't Ellar supposed to leave yesterday?

Why is he now in a hospital bed?'

"He didn't leave yesterday. He was found in the hospital corridor with a high fever," Patricia explained.

Feeling better, Patricia had the nurses assist Ellar to the bed.

Nicole approached and touched Ellar's forehead. "The fever has gone down."

"Yes, it just subsided not long ago, but he hasn't woken up yet," Patricia responded.

Chapter 3012

"What did the doctor say?" Nicole asked.

Patricia responded, "The doctor said it's fine once the fever subsides. He just needs a good rest after

waking up."

Nicole nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat down, inviting Patricia to do the same.

Patricia took the seat.

After glancing at Ellar, Nicole turned to Patricia and said, "I want to talk to you about your injury."

As Nicole looked at Patricia's face, Patricia instinctively covered it with her hand.

Biting her lip hesitantly, Patricia responded, "Ms. Riddle, at first, I had hoped there might be a way to

restore my face. I was prepared for the possibility it couldn't be healed, but now..."

Patricia looked toward Ellar, still unconscious on the bed, and said with a pained expression, "I don't

want him to do this for me, so I think I want to give up."

"Patricia, there's still a chance of success. Besides, Ellar has already invested so much; it would be a

pity to give up now," Nicole reassured her.

She understood Patricia's immense pressure, but felt it would indeed be regrettable to give up at this

point.

"If I had known from the start, I wouldn't have let Ellar do this. However, in the past few days, Martin

and Ellar have made significant progress. Seeing Ellar's determination, I decided to give it one more

try."

"Ms. Riddle, I don't deserve his sacrifices, and it's really... too dangerous," Patricia said, her voice

growing softer, revealing her deepest concerns.

Even if Ellar appeared okay at the moment, the continuous drug tests might harm his body in the long

run.

"I get your concerns. Rest assured, I won't let any harm come to him," Nicole reassured, then added,

"He's family, after all."

"But... I shouldn't let him to do this," Patricia said, chewing her lip, troubled by Ellar's sacrifices that she

couldn't repay.

Nicole gently patted Patricia’s hand and comforted her," Don't worry about that right now. What's

important is your treatment."

"I still can't accept it. I don't know how to repay this," Patricia sighed, her inability to accept this with

ease and peace of mind weighing on her.

"You shouldn't feel pressured. I'm not asking for any compensation. I just want to do something for

you," Ellar's voice, slightly hoarse, interjected.

Nicole and Patricia turned toward Ellar, realizing he had woken up.

"Don't move just yet. I'll call the doctor," Patricia said, stopping him as he attempted to get up.

Ellar waved her off, "I'm fine."

"Take it slow," Patricia insisted, helping him sit up and then fetching a pillow for him to lean on.

"I’m not that weak," Ellar said, pulling Patricia toward him." Sit down and listen to me."

Patricia, biting her lip, hesitantly sat down.

"Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Martin's research is indeed making progress, and now

that Nicole has agreed to help us, you should have confidence. We can't give up now," Ellar urged

Patricia.

Taking a deep breath, Patricia, her eyes somewhat more resolute, responded, "If that's the case, then

I'll do it myself from now on."

"No," Ellar immediately objected, shaking his head. "You should just wait for the final results."

"If you want me to accept the treatment, then I'll do it myself, or else I won't accept it at all," Patricia

declared firmly, refusing to budge.

If this was something that had to be continued, she was ready to bear the consequences herself.

"Patricia..." Ellar tried to persuade her, but Patricia shook her head and turned to Nicole, "Ms. Riddle, is

that okay?"

Understanding Patricia's stance, Nicole thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright."

"Nicole!" Ellar sounded somewhat helpless. The matter was considered settled when Nicole agreed.

Nicole glanced at Ellar, "Your body is indeed too weak. You should rest first."

 

Chapter 3013

"Alright, I'm heading to the office now. We'll wait for Martin’s update regarding the subsequent

treatment," Nicole said as she stood up.

"Yes," Patricia agreed, escorting Nicole out of the ward." Don't worry, Ms. Riddle, I'll take care of him.

He can go

home once he's recovered."

Nicole smiled and replied, "Okay, good."

After Nicole left, Patricia returned to the ward.

'Since you both have made your decisions, and won't listen to me anymore, I must be there during your

treatment," Ellar insisted, expressing his final resolve.

If he couldn't do more for Patricia, he wanted at least to be by her side.

Patricia glanced at Ellar and sighed inwardly, "I'll go get you some breakfast."

Now that he was awake and without any immediate concerns, she decided to get something to eat first.

Watching her leave, Ellar felt a bit more at ease. Regardless of the situation, he was relieved that she

was still willing to continue with the treatment.

Nicole left the hospital, and Lulu arrived, slightly out of breath, "Sorry, I got stuck in traffic."

"It's okay, let's go," Nicole said, smiling faintly at Lulu.

"Ah, we're leaving already? How is Patricia?" Lulu asked.

"She's fine now. But Ellar caught a cold and had a fever because he got wet in the rain. He just woke

up," Nicole explained.

Lulu, concerned, asked, "Is Ellar's body that weak?"

"It's probably related to the drug trials," Nicole replied, biting her lip slightly.

"Then can he continue with the drug trials? His body might not be able to handle it," Lulu said,

frowning.

Ellar's continued involvement in the trials could exhaust him, possibly weakening his body even more.

"It's fine. Patricia has agreed to continue the treatment but insists on doing it herself. Ellar doesn't need

to do anything anymore," Nicole reassured her. "His body will be fine after some rest."

Lulu looked worried, "But... won't Patricia be in danger?"

"I'll discuss it with Martin again. It should be fine," Nicole said, hailing a cab.

Lulu joined Nicole in the taxi, and they headed toward Riddle Corporation.

When Nicole arrived at her office, her secretary brought in a document and said, "Ms. Riddle, this is the

project proposal from TimeMarvel Consortium. It seems we need to bid for it. it

"Okay, I got it," Nicole replied, taking the document as the secretary left.

Lulu tilted her head and inquired, "TimeMarvel, huh? Sounds like a decent project. Bidding shouldn't be

too difficult for us, right? Have they set a date?"

Nicole glanced at the document and responded, "In three days."

"Oh, that's quite tight timing," Lulu commented, her expression turning more serious.

Nicole pressed the intercom button and instructed, 'Notify the project and marketing departments to

meet in the conference room."

"Yes," the secretary acknowledged.

After hanging up, Nicole turned to Lulu, "Go get ready."

"Okay," Lulu agreed, then turned and left.

Ten minutes later, in the conference room, not only the project and marketing departments were

present, but Sean and Steve had also arrived.

Nicole greeted Sean and Steve before gesturing everyone to take their seats.

Once everyone was seated, Lulu distributed the printed documents.

"This is TimeMarvel Consortium's project. We have three days until the bid. Our time is tight, but we still

need to

come up with a perfect proposal," Nicole stated firmly.

"Yes," everyone responded in unison.

"Now, what suggestions do we have..." Nicole started, leading the meeting.

An hour later, the meeting room buzzed with discussions and proposals, as they strategized for the

upcoming bid.

Chapter 3014

After sweeping her gaze over everyone in the room, Nicole declared, "Follow the assignments we just

discussed. I want to see the draft proposals by tomorrow. Meeting adjourned."

"Yes, Ms. Riddle," everyone agreed, and the room slowly emptied as they left.

"Nicole, why the rush with this project?" Steve inquired, examining the file he held.

"It's a bit hasty, but the project seems promising. It's worth a shot," Nicole responded.

Sean added his agreement, "Definitely worth a shot."

Nicole smiled slightly, "And we're not just trying-we're going to put our full effort into winning this bid."

"Alright, let's give it our all and aim to win this bid," Steve said with a laugh.

"Once everyone has compiled their content by tomorrow, Lulu and I will go over it and then show it to

you," Nicole explained.

Steve immediately shook his head, "No need for that. If you approve the proposal, then I trust it too."

"But you," Sean added, "don’t overwork yourself. Remember, you can always ask us for help."

"Okay," Nicole replied with a smile.

The group stood up and left the conference room, each heading to their respective offices.

Back in her office, Nicole glanced at the files on her desk, picked one up, and started working diligently.

As the day turned to evening, Nicole left the office, finding Jared already waiting for her.

After getting into the car, Nicole leaned back in her seat, letting out a long sigh.

"You look tired," Jared said with a hint of concern.

"It's okay. I just want to get the work done quickly, so I didn't take any breaks," she replied, her mind set

on efficiently completing the project.

Jared gently embraced her, "You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."

"Mhm," Nicole smiled, agreeing softly. She too wanted to give her best effort.

Returning home, Nicole found that Nolan and Lana had already arrived.

"Mommy, Daddy!" The kids ran over happily upon seeing Nicole and Jared.

Holding Nolan and Lana's hands, Nicole asked softly, "When did you two get back?"

"Just now," Lana replied, tilting her head up.

"And where is Tia?" Nicole wondered, not having seen Tia when they came in.

"Uncle took us home and then went out on a date with Tia,” Nolan explained, shrugging his shoulders.

They had gone straight to the living room after getting out of the car.

"I see," Nicole said, leading Nolan and Lana to the couch to sit down.

Gloria smiled and said, "They went out on a date, so I asked someone to check on Mrs. Wallace Sr.

She won't be coming over for dinner, but she's being taken care of."

"That's good," Nicole said, relieved that Mrs. Wallace Sr. had someone looking after her.

"You've been busy with things, perhaps you can take a break now," Gloria suggested meaningfully,

pulling Nicole to her feet.

Nicole, trying to change the subject, said, "Mom, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."

Knowing Nicole was avoiding the topic, Gloria still responded, "Yes, it's ready. Let's eat."

With that, Nicole stood up with Gloria and headed toward the dining room.

Daniel also stood up, smiling at Jared and inviting, "Let's go, Jared."

"Alright," Jared agreed, and the two of them headed to the dining room.

"You know Gloria was just asking casually," Daniel explained on the way.

"I understand. I'll discuss it with Nicole," Jared replied calmly.

Chapter 3015

Daniel expressed satisfaction with Jared's response. It was clear that Jared understood Gloria was

referring to their wedding, and it might be time to discuss it with Nicole.

After dinner, Nicole and Jared took Nolan and Lana back to their room. Gloria watched the family of

four, smiling and shaking her head, "Honestly, I'll miss them when they move out after Nicole and

Jared's wedding. But it's something that has to happen eventually."

Even though she would miss them, Gloria didn't want the couple to keep delaying their wedding.

"The house is just next door. We can see them anytime," Daniel comforted Gloria as they walked

upstairs together.

In Nolan's room, Nicole helped him with his homework, while Jared played with Lana and her building

blocks. The family shared a moment of joy and harmony, a peaceful snapshot in time.

Nicole and Jared spent some rare quality time with the kids, eventually getting them to sleep before

returning to their own room.

"What did Dad say to you?" Nicole asked Jared, holding his hand as they walked.

"Nothing much," Jared replied with a smile, wrapping his arm around Nicole and looking down at her.

"Should we start thinking about the wedding?"

Nicole couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jared, "You say' nothing much’, but it was Dad who mentioned

it, wasn't it?"

She had understood her mother's hint earlier and, seeing Daniel speaking with Jared, had guessed

what they might be discussing.

Gently touching her nose, Jared playfully asked, "So, what are your thoughts?"

Nicole bit her lip slightly and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

"If I tell you I've been anxious for a long time, what would you say?" Jared replied, smoothly brushing

her hair.

Nicole chuckled. "It's just a wedding. Other than that, our life won't change much, right? We already live

like any other married couple."

But it's different. I want to give you a grand wedding," Jared said earnestly. He didn't want her to have

any regrets about not having a proper ceremony.

"Well..." Nicole paused, then suggested, "Let's hold off on wedding plans until after this bidding

conference."

After the conference, they could concentrate on the wedding without work interruptions.

"Sure," Jared agreed with a smile, then planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

The lingering kiss weakened Nicole's determination, and she started to reciprocate. The room warmed

with an irresistible, romantic atmosphere.

Time flew by, and three days later, Nicole, prepared for everything, headed to the bidding venue with

Lulu.

"There are quite a lot of people," Lulu observed, looking at the crowd entering the venue.

"Yeah, there are," Nicole replied casually.

"It's about time. Let's go in," Lulu suggested.

They entered the venue, registered their company, and were led to their seats.

Everyone was whispering in anticipation of the bidding conference's start.

"Mr. Wright, come this way," a staff member guided a man who was seated near Nicole.

"Nicole, isn't that...?!" Lulu, seeing the man referred to as " Mr. Wright," incredulously pulled at Nicole.

Noticing Lulu's tone, Nicole followed her gaze, narrowing her eyes slightly.
