Chapter 1637
"I'd like to redress your wound." Jared looked at Nicole and said. "I'm still worried about you."
'This woman is always looking out for others, but she would always put herself last and not take anything about
herself seriously. I don't trust her at all,' Jared thought.
Nicole initially wanted to decline his help, but after noticing how serious he was, she could only listen to him.
Deep down, she wanted to fly into a tirade at him, for he was like a mind reader. He even knew that Nicole had
simply dressed her wound.
After all, Nicole had suffered all types of injuries when she was on her clandestine missions. To her, this was just a
minor injury, and with the Beacon at her disposal, an injury like that was not a cause for concern.
Jared received the first aid kit. Then, he stretched his hands out and pulled down Nicole's shirt off from her
shoulders.
As the act itself was a little sensual, her face flushed at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe entire room became quiet. Under the light from the lamp and with a serious look on his face, Jared took a
cotton swab and a medicinal concoction that promoted blood circulation. Then, he applied it on Nicole.
As Nicole felt the gentle touch from the cotton swab which
Jared was holding, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Although her elder brothers and parents did care her,
she could never show them this side of her, even if she was hurt.
However, Jared knew everything about her. Even though she was injured, she did not have to put on a tough facade
whenever she was with him.
Jared's hands were extremely gentle. It was as if he was handling a precious piece of treasure as he was treating
her wound, worrying that he would cause her more pain.
At the sight of that, Nicole could not help but to assure him," It's fine. This is just a minor wound. I don't feel pain."
Seeing how Nicole was taking her injury lightly again, Jared became annoyed. "I love everything about you, except
for this."
Nicole was stunned as soon as she heard that. "What do you hate me for?"
Then, she stopped and pondered about what he hated about her.
"I hate that you always put up a tough front, and how you don't take any of your injuries seriously," Jared replied,
his hoarse and husky voice carrying within it hints of sadness and understanding.
Nicole's heart skipped a beat. "When did I? I still take care of myself when I'm badly injured, you know?"
Nicole's words made Jared's hand freeze.
"From now on, I won't let you suffer from such major injuries
anymore," Jared uttered, his voice domineering and assertive.
Nicole sighed. "But I have yet to retire."
"Then talk to Zane as soon as you can." Jared firmed his gaze. "If you're too afraid to tell him, I will do it for you."
Nicole's expression became solemn at that instant. "The current situation is very difficult for Zane to manage, you
know? And yet, you're asking me to desert them? To leave Zane and the organization?"
Jared's gaze became solemn too. "That was not my intention. But other than that, what other ways do I have to
keep you out of danger?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing that, Nicole immediately fell silent.
She knew that Jared was speaking the truth. As long as she was still a part of the organization, there was no way in
which she could preclude herself from getting into harm's way.
But once Nicole thought about how Jared would risk his life to save her, even when he was not in the best of states,
Nicole felt bad.
The last time the issue of her retirement was brought up, Nicole had been considering this option as well.
Nicole took a deep breath and replied, "I promise you that once this matter has been settled, and once I've chop
the assassin's hands off, I'll talk to Zane about retiring from the organization."
Jared noted the firm look in Nicole's eyes, and that was when he knew that she would keep her promise. Nicole had
only thought about it for a few days, and yet, she could arrive at a decision already. This made Jared really happy.
Withdrawing his gaze, Jared continued to dress Nicole's wound, and after he was done with it, he said, "Fine. I'll help
you out with this issue."
After all, those people had injured Nicole not too long ago, and because of that, Jared would not let them get away
with it that easily. Eventually, he would want to bring them out of their holes.
