My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2362

Chapter 2362

Nicole could not help but roll her eyes mentally. It was obvious that this had become a subtle competition between Lawrence and Jared.

"It was just an accident, and I'm fine now," Nicole said, feigning calmness.

She did not wish to tell Lawrence much about Snow, so she resorted to giving him a brief explanation instead.

Lawrence then glanced at Nicole, whose complexion seemed healthy enough.

He had been genuinely worried about her after he had learned about her accident, so he advised Nicole, "Even if it was an accident, you should be more careful in the future."

"Yeah," Nicole agreed, wanting to end this conversation quickly.

"She needs rest. If that's everything, you may leave now, Mr. Royce." Jared said, having decided to be more assertive in shooing him away when he noticed Lawrence’s persistent fussing over Nicole's condition.

Naturally, those words displeased Lawrence, whose face darkened. "Mr. Johnston? Your attitude toward your friends leaves much to be desired."

"Your attitude toward patients also betrays your lack of consideration for them," Jared retorted, not thinking he was wrong.

He was implying that Lawrence's visit was more than fine, but once he had seen them, leaving was the proper thing to do, as the patient needed rest.

Seeing that the two would quarrel anytime, Nicole looked at Lawrence and said, "Leo, I'm really fine. I'm tired too."

Lawrence's expression stiffened slightly, and he could only issue a silent sigh in the end. "Alright."

He knew that although Nicole had claimed that she was fine, it was still not a minor accident.

"Rest well. I'll come to see you tomorrow," Lawrence advised, and left thereafter.

After Lawrence had exited the room, Nicole playfully scolded Jared, "Your attitude toward guests is also far from commendable."

Jared seemed to be on edge whenever Lawrence was around, and usually situations in which they were both together would culminate either in Jared giving him a cold shoulder or asking him to leave.

"It seems to me that he doesn't consider himself as a mere guest," Jared said indifferently, not seeing anything wrong with his behavior.
