Chapter 740
“Yeah, the wound is quite deep. It wouldn’t be nice to leave behind a scar.” June genuinely cared about Nicole.
Nicole could only sigh and say, “Okay, then. You guys have coffee. It’s on me.”
“No. Boss took office today; it should be on me.” Austin had a generous spirit on his face. “Enjoy yourselves.”
Zeke smiled. “Thank you.”
Nicole also smiled, looking at Zeke with a thoughtful face.
Jared was not too happy to see this, and he pulled Nicole up from her seat. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
“So fast?” She had not even drunk her coffee yet.
“The doctor won’t be waiting.” He simply made a random excuse.
Nicole had no choice but to follow Jared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOutside the café, Max had already driven the car over. Nicole and Jared got into the car together. As soon as the
door was closed, Jared drew Nicole into his arms and frowned at her. “How could you hurt yourself to save others?”
In his eyes, Gary was not worth mentioning at all, not worth Nicole saving.
Nicole sighed. “It is sort of my reflexes.”
Her professional code of conduct spelled out that she must avoid hurting the innocent and save lives every time on
a mission.
Yesterday’s incident happened so suddenly that she had no time to think, and her first thought was to save Gary.
Jared had a serious face. “Don’t risk your life for other men next time.”
Nicole looked at his serious expression and burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Jared frowned. I’m so upset, yet she still laughs.
Nicole gave him a playful look. “You make me sound like I’m the kind of woman who will risk my life for men. I was
just doing what a normal person would do.”
Jared realized it was inappropriate for him to say that, and he still looked jealous. “But it is what it is.”
Nicole saw his unhappiness and leaned into his arms. “I promise you I will only risk my life for you next time.” She
really was not in the mood to care about others.
Jared felt better upon hearing that, but he was stubborn. “I don’t want you to risk your life for me. I’ll protect you.”
He would allow no one to hurt her.
It was heartwarming for Nicole to hear such an assurance. “Thank you.”
Jared sighed. “Thank me for what? I failed to protect you this time.” After a moment of thought, he suddenly said, “I
will send a few bodyguards to protect you tomorrow.”
Nicole frowned. “Have you ever seen a student with bodyguards at school?”
“You have to bring them.” He did not want to hear news of her injury again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole again looked at him playfully. “Can your bodyguards fight better than I do?”
Jared hesitated, realizing that what she said was true.
Nicole took a deep breath and then assured him. “It was sabotage today. But don’t worry, I will be more careful
from now on.”
Jared was relieved. “Okay. I will let you be for now.” But then he thought of something, and he asked with a serious
face, “A sabotage? Is someone trying to kill you?”
Nicole’s face turned grave. “Yes.”
“Who?” Jared asked rhetorically.
Nicole shook her head. “I don’t have definitive evidence yet.”
Jared’s eyes turned frosty. “Don’t worry. I’ll send someone to investigate.” He told himself that he would not forgive
those who tried to kill Nicole.
“I’ll leave it to you.” Knowing that he would do it even if she refused, Nicole simply said nothing more and left Jared
to it.
Soon, as the two arrived at the hospital, the CEO of the hospital led a group of people to welcome them. This spoke
volumes of Jared’s importance.
