My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1636

Chapter 1636

"This idiot, Jared Johnston. It's just a minor injury, and he had to call Martin. He's really making a fuss out of nothing!’ Nicole thought.

"You are well versed in medicine, but have you taken care of the wound yourself? You just simply cleaned it and went to attend the banquet," Jared retorted.

He had hugged Nicole several times that night, and during that few times, he felt that her body was stiff. Now that he thought about it, his touch must have caused her a lot of pain.

"I cleaned it using the Beacon. The swelling will definitely subside tomorrow. There's no need to go to the hospital. I'm exhausted now. If you really care about me, just send me home so that I can get some rest.” Nicole frowned and stared at Jared.

Jared gazed into her eyes, but after being glared at by Nicole for a few good seconds, Jared could not help but take a deep breath. "Send her home.”

“Understood.” Max nodded, after which he made a U-turn.

Seeing that, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.

Jared felt that this issue was not as simple as described, prompting him to continue questioning her. "I can send you home, but you must tell me clearly how you got hurt. Can you do that?”

Although Jared's men were guarding Nicole in secret, they could not enter the school compound. After all, that was Mr. Ellison's territory. Security was not an issue there. Jared initially thought it would be good enough if his men guarded the outside.

Much to his chagrin, however, Nicole had been injured several times over the past few days.

In reply to that, she briefly said, “A flowerpot from one of the upper floors fell and almost struck Lulu. I accidentally injured myself while I was pushing Lulu away."

"A flowerpot?” Jared frowned, "Royal Creek Institute would not simply place their flowerpots in precarious positions like that."

Jared had been to Royal Creek Institute before. Security and amenities were not an issue. There was near zero chance that a flowerpot was placed in a spot that would place the students in danger.

Nicole shot him a glance. ‘This fella is smart. There's nothing I can hide from him.’

As such, she could only tell him the truth. "I guess it was done by someone on purpose. Once I hack into the school’s CCTV tonight, I'll be able to get to the bottom of this."

Jared's gaze instantly darkened. ‘This person must be a student, judging from how they are employing such childish and amateurish tricks.’
