Chapter 2113
Martin wore a conflicted expression on his face.
Then, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Johnston isn't going to accompany you?"
"I did not tell him about it," Nicole replied, feeling that there was no need to bother Jared over such a trivial matter.
Moreover, Jared had his own things to take care of. There was no way Nicole could request for his care and
protection 24/7.
"But the treatment process will be tough. Are you sure you do not need Mr. Johnston to accompany you?" Martin
asked, wanting to reconfirm.
He felt that it would be heart-breaking if Nicole had to go through everything alone.
Nicole bit her lips. That was the exact reason as to why she did not want to tell Jared about this. She knew that it
was going to be tough, so she did not want him by her side, where he had to bear witness of all of her pain. Jared
would most probably be left heartbroken in the process.

Seeing how determined she was, Martin could not help but do as he was asked. "Alright then. However, you must
signal me to stop if it gets too agonizing."
"Okay." Nicole nodded in agreement.
After that, Martin led Nicole to the lab and prepared her for the treatment.
After having studied about The Beacon, Nicole knew that the upgraded version was different from the previous
version.
Still, she casually asked, "Have you thought of a name for this one?"
It would make no sense for them to simply name it as "The Upgraded version" once it was released. Therefore,
Nicole felt that it would be better to give it a new name.
Martin lifted his lips into a smile and replied, "The previous version was named by you. Why don't you come up with
a name for this version too?"
"Me?" Nicole asked, feeling taken aback.
Then, she shook her head. "Nah, you should name it this time."
After all, this version had nothing to do with her.
Martin could tell that Nicole was against the idea of naming it, so he just stared at her and smiled. "Let's call it The
Moon. r»
Nicole would always be that moon which Martin could never reach. However, this would remain a secret which
nobody would ever know of.
Nicole blinked. She could tell that there was something odd about Martin's gaze. But when she was trying to
observe him even more carefully, Martin had already looked away. By then, he was preparing for Nicole's
treatment.
"Relax yourself. If you can't take it, we must stop." Martin reminded once again.
Nodding, Nicole replied, "Don't worry. I'm here for treatment, not for torture."
Seeing that Nicole was still in the mood to joke around, Martin shook his head with a wry smile. "Alright, let's begin."
After all, the treatment would be administered via external pain. Nicole knew that the treatment process would be

blanched.
Martin, who had been staring at her, noticed her pale face. He could not help but feel worried. Yet, Nicole did not
ask him to stop. This placed him at a loss for a moment, as he was unsure of what to do.
Gradually, Nicole's face shifted. Not only was she pale, but her head was also in sweat, and her eyes were shut
tight. It seemed that she was in a lot of pain.
"We can't continue anymore. We have to stop."
Seeing that Nicole was still pushing herself without any desire to stop, Martin raised his hands and ceased the
treatment there and then.
As the pain gradually eased, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, her vision blurry and muddled.
"Nicole." Martin softly called out to her.
Nicole slowly turned her head towards the direction of the voice. Then, the focus in her eyes gradually returned,
allowing her to see Martin's face clearly.
"Are you feeling fine?" Martin asked, his eyes brimming with concern.
Nicole nodded her head and said with a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."
Martin then took a glass of warm water and handed it to Nicole. "Have some water and take a rest. Let's take it
easy."
