Chapter 1421
When the nurse walked in with the medication, Nicole was still sitting by Jared's bed.
"You've just undergone detoxification, Miss Riddle. It’s not right for you to be this active," the nurse reminded Nicole gently.
"Okay, did Martin ask you to bring these here?" Nicole looked at the medication atop the nurse's tray.
"Yeah, Dr. Wyance told me to bring these to you." The nurse handed Nicole the medication.
"Alright, you may leave now," Nicole said to the nurse.
"Sure, just alert me if you need anything," the nurse said, after which she exited the ward.
Nicole stared at the medication before looking back at Jared. 'How am I supposed to feed him...?'
'Seems like this is the only way.' Nicole placed the medicine into her mouth and leaned in toward Jared's lips...
As she was doing that, Jared's eyelashes fluttered, and this time, she was able to catch it. She quickly looked back up in shock.
"Are you awake?" Nicole asked excitedly, though he there was no response from him.
Dejectedly, Nicole then said, "If you can hear me, please move your eyelids."
She then stared at Jared's eyes quietly, waiting for a miracle to happen. But three minutes had passed, and much to her chagrin, Jared remained still and unresponsive.
The look of excitement on Nicole's face began to vanish.
"It's okay. At least I'm able to see you recovering. Keep taking this medication, and you'll be waking up in no time." Nicole said.
She wanted Jared to hear her, and at the same time, also wanted to give herself some confidence.
Tired after talking to Jared for such a long time, Nicole returned to her bed to catch some rest. Suddenly, she thought of Zeke, whereupon she took her phone out to search for his contact before sending him an encrypted text message.
However, Zeke did not reply, even after a long while. Thinking that it was because he was still in hiding, she did not wait for his response.
Then, she switched her laptop on and continued to work on her mission.
