Noticing that Nicole looked rather anxious, Martin said. "Sure.
Don't worry about it. I’ll see to it right now. Just rest up here and wait for my update."
"I'll leave it to you then," Nicole said, giving Martin a look of appreciation
"Yeah," Martin said. "Don't you just sit there all the time. Take care of yourself. He still needs your care."
This was the most he had spoken to her in the past few days.
"I know," she replied. "I'll get back to bed in a bit."
"Alright, I'll go settle that matter then," Martin said, after which he got up and left the ward.
Nicole saw him off, and after talking to Jared for a little while longer, she got back onto her bed. However, instead
of resting, she turned her laptop on and continued to crack the codes as required by the mission.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHours passed, and with her attention all focused on the computer, she did not even realize that it was already dark
outside.
It was then that Max pushed the door open and saw Nicole on the computer, prompting him to say, "Good evening,
Miss Riddle.
How about catching a break and having some dinner first?"
Max brought her dinner over to her and placed it on the table.
It was only then that Nicole looked at him. "When did you come?"
Max was taken aback for a moment. 'Did she not hear me just now? Seems like Miss Riddle gets too engrossed
when she works.'
"I just came in. I've bought you dinner. Here, have a bite." Max replied as she looked her in the eye.
"Oh, okay. Just leave it there first," she said, and continued her task of breaching the cyber defenses.
Max, who did not bother her, went up to Jared's bedside and took a seat to observe the latter. Nicole gave Jared a
glance before she centered her eyes on the screen once again.
This time, however, the process of hacking was not as easy as before and took time. She had to proceed very
carefully, or else she would trigger an alarm and mess it up for Zeke.
Max stayed in the room for a while, and when it was time for him to leave, he stood up, wishing to bid her goodbye.
However, upon seeing that she was as engrossed in her work as ever, he killed the thought, gently opened the
door, and left, as he did not wish to disturb her.
When she had managed to crack the second key, she raised her head and looked at Jared's direction, just to realize
that Max had already left. It took her aback to think that she did not even realize that at all. Thankfully, Max was
someone familiar and trustworthy.
After she had worked for another few hours, she closed her laptop and called it a night. Then, she laid down and fell

During the night, Nicole heard the sound of a nurse pushing the door open. She took a glance and did not pay too
much mind as she then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Seeing that Nicole had not woken up, the nurse quietly walked up to Jared and took a look. When she saw that he
was not displaying any signs of regaining consciousness anytime soon, she quietly unplugged the power cord of one
of the equipment before cautiously making her way to Nicole's side.
When she saw that Nicole was still fast asleep, she took a new bottle of IV drip and exchanged it for her. She took a
deep look at Nicole thereafter, before whirling around and making a beeline for the exit.
Just as she was about to open the door, Martin walked in, and the two met at the door.
Martin, who did not recognize the nurse, asked, "Which department are you from? Why have I never seen you
before?"
"I'm from the medical department, but I was not in charge of Mr. Jared's room. The nurse-in-charge has fallen ill
today, so I stepped in to take over," the nurse said, not daring to look at Martin.
Martin furrowed his brows. 'Why was I not informed that Lilian was sick?'
