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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing 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.'
"Have you offended anyone as of recent?" Jared looked at her, his gaze stern and intense.
Nicole smiled. "Just today itself, I've offended someone."
Thinking about how Raine had been laughed at on the forum, Nicole did not even bother with the fact that she had
pissed anyone off.
"Don’t take it lightly. You've dodged a bullet this time. But what if you did not...and that person wants you dead?"
Jared asked, his gaze frosty.
Nicole could not help but raise her eyebrows. She had never thought about that.
She felt that it was just a childish act and that she only had to check the cameras to find out what the truth was.
Now that she thought about it, the perpetrator had made a move on Lulu without knowing what Nicole was capable
of. They were obviously targeting Nicole.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'This person is really evil,' she thought. 'If it really was Raine, I'll not let her off the hook easily.'
"Should I take care of this?" Jared raised his eyebrows.
He had a strong feeling that Nicole had a rough idea as to who the criminal was.
As expected, Nicole shook her head. "It's fine. It's best for you to not get involved with the affairs of the Riddle
Family."
Jared immediately understood Nicole's intention.
"I can stay out of this, but I will never allow anyone to hurt my girl. You must make them pay for what they have
done
tenfold. Do you understand?" Jared asked, knowing that as long as Nicole wanted payback, she would have the
ability to do so.
"Don't worry. This time around...I'll make sure she gets kicked out of this school forever," Nicole replied.
It was only then that Jared felt satisfied.
Soon after, their ride arrived at the entrance of the Riddle Family manor.
Nicole's parents and elder brothers were not home yet, so Jared immediately stepped into Nicole's house freely.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. was already sleeping at that hour. The only ones left in the living room were the butler and the
servants.
Once inside, Jared immediately ordered the butler to bring a first aid kit over.
In response, Nicole frowned and looked at him. "What are you doing?"
