My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1427

Chapter 1427

'I don't know where he is and how he’s doing now.' Nicole thought.

She was planning to contact Zeke, but was then met with an unexpected pop-up alert on her computer.

'There is a delayed alarm that has always been hidden,' she surmised.' Once the codes have been deciphered, it'll still be triggered regardless if the mission was a success or not. My location has been locked into as soon as I've cracked it.’

Nicole immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter and called Martin.

'Martin, I have something urgent that I need to tend to, and I have to leave for the time being. As for Jared...I'll leave him to you." Nicole shot Jared a glance while talking to Martin on the phone.

"What happened?" Martin asked, confused by Nicole's sudden phone call, as well as her odd request.

’I don't have time to explain to you now. I'll explain everything once I get back. I have to leave right away, so can you get here before I leave?" Nicole asked, her tone brimming with impatience.

"Okay. I'll come over right away," he agreed.

It was Martin's first-time hearing Nicole being so impatient.

After hanging up, Nicole quickly packed her laptop and her belongings, ready to leave at any given moment. She then walked over to Jared's hospital bed before leaning over to kiss him on the forehead.

"Jared, I may have to leave for a bit. You have to wake up as soon as possible, and when I come back, I hope to see the old you again."

The door of the ward was suddenly thrown open by Martin, who walked in quickly and went up to her to ask, ’ Nicole, what is it that you're in such a hurry for? You have not completed your recovery yet. It's not advisable for you to go out." Martin looked at Nicole with concern, as he did not want things to turn out the way they did, like last time.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. While I'm away, I'll leave Jared to you. Please, take good care of him for me!" Nicole looked at Martin earnestly, for she trusted him the most.

"Don't you worry, I'll take good care of him. Where are you heading? You should at least give me for a heads-up, right?" Martin asked, feeling that Nicole was behaving a little too strangely.

'Why is it that she suddenly has to leave on a business trip?’ he thought. 'To top it all, all of this sounds very suspicious.’

'The less people know about this, the better. I'm not telling you for your own sake." Nicole glanced at the time. 'I have to leave, I can't stay here.'

Martin's lowered his gaze. 'Is it possible that she's going out there to do something risky?'

"Nicole, you can't go about doing stuff that'll get you killed!"

"There's nothing dangerous about it," she said. "It's just a business trip abroad. What are you so nervous about? Things just came up, and when they did, I just have to go."

"Okay, I have to leave now. I'll call you when I have the time." Nicole gave Jared one last glance after she had spoken, whereupon she left in a hurry.

Martin watched as Nicole left. He wanted to follow to see what was going on, but with Jared's life entrusted to him, he could not leave the latter alone in the ward without anyone to tend to him.
