My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216

Looking at the way Martin was blaming himself, Nicole felt that she should stop ripping into him. Then, she turned to Max and said, "Bring him to the hospital for a checkup. Call me the second you receive any updates."

"But the situation here..." Max looked at Jared helplessly as the situation here was still a mess.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of things here." Jared glanced at him and gave him some assurance.

It was only then that Max gave him a firm nod. ‘ Alright, I'll drive him to the hospital now."

Martin looked at Jared, grateful for what he had done. Recalling that Jared had gone in to search for him while the fire was still burning, Martin was overcome with a sense of gratitude. "Mr. Johnston, thank you for going in and looking for me. Please take care of the situation here."

Jared nodded lightly as a way of telling him not to worry.

It was then that Nicole suddenly remembered what Martin had said about Jared entering the factory. The flames, which had initially been extinguished, was raging once more.

After Martin and Max had left, Nicole shot Jared a glare. "All of you are the same! Why can’t the both of you give me some peace of mind for once? It's bad enough that I had to deal with a fool like Martin! Why did you rush into the fire as well?!"

Jared shot her a glance with her eyebrows raised. "Oh, so you're worried about my safety now? I don't think I can tell if he was the only person you were worried about moments ago!"

Noticing signs of jealousy, Nicole issued a sigh. "Moments ago, I was panicking and worried that something might have happened to Martin, and that was why I wasn't paying attention to what you were saying."

As Jared recalled the way Nicole had scolded him for not pulling Martin out of the factory, he felt that she had wronged her.

"Now that you know, I wasn't the one who did not try to bring him out of the fire, was I?" Jared looked at her with a frown. 'I went in just to look for Martin, but he was as stubborn as a mule.'

Nicole nodded. "Yeah. But please. Next time, I don't want you risking your own life too..."

She just wished that Jared would drag Martin out, not put himself in danger too.

Seeing that Nicole was sincerely worried about him, Jared smiled and extended his arms to give her a hug. "Alright, I get it, but you better focus on the factory now and think about ways to help US recover. There are a lot of things that require our decisions."

Jared's reminder alerted her once more. As she witnessed the situation at the factory and how messy it was, she issued a sighed.

'The road to success is really filled with hardships,' she thought. 'Now that half of the factory had been burned to ashes, rebuilding will take a really long time to complete.'

’We can only wait for it to be rebuilt," she said. "In the meantime, let's just take a breather."

Jared saw her through and understood that she was trying to stifle her anger. Knowing this, he comforted her by saying, ‘ Don't worry, I'll get a crew together to rebuild it again. I'll make sure that they try their best to do it as soon as possible."

Nicole felt relieved, but in less than a second, her eyes narrowed again. Then, she turned to Jared and asked, "But, have you discovered the cause behind this fire? Is it really an accident?"
