Chapter 1348

Nicole was left speechless. “Please end the call now if there’s nothing else. I’m busy.”

“It’s okay. Just carry on with your work and put your phone aside. I’ll just look at you from there.” Jared told Nicole.

‘I don’t have anything to support my phone with over here. Besides, why would you want to do that?

We just met this morning, didn’t we?” Nicole said, not giving in to Jared’s absurd request.

“Yeah. We met this morning, which means that it has already been a day since I last saw you. Why can’t you just let me look at you since I can’t come over to see you in person?” Jared said as if he was in the right.

Nicole had no choice but to prop her phone against something and positioned the front camera at herself. “Will this do? I’m going back to work now.”

“Sure, go ahead. I’ll hang up after a while.” Jared said.

Nicole shot him one last and continued staring at her computer to peruse the information as Jared watched her from the screen.

After a while, a knock was heard on Nicole’s door. “Miss Riddle, it’s time for dinner.”

“Okay, coming,” Nicole responded.

After that, she switched her computer off and was about to head downstairs with her phone when she saw that Jared had not hung up.

“Why are you still here?” Nicole looked at Jared as she asked.

“Are you going to eat now?” Jared asked.

“Yeah. Have you eaten?” Nicole responded in kind.

“Not yet,” he said. “I don’t know what I’d like to eat.”

‘You’ve got to eat. Go and cook something for yourself.” Nicole urged.

“Uh, I don’t feel like eating alone,” Jared said in a lazy tone of voice.

Nicole glared at him. “I guess you’re just not hungry yet.

“Bye for now. I’ve got to have my dinner.” Nicole hung up at once after uttering the last word.

Jared was about to say something, but the screen had already gone dark. Hence, he gave up on the idea and went to the kitchen, while Nicole went to the dining hall have dinner with Mrs. Wallace Sr. and Tia.

The next morning, Nicole went to the hospital, where she had located Hugh by tracking his phone.

After she had arrived at the hospital, she saw Hugh taking care of his ill grandfather through the window from outside the ward.

She pushed the door open and calmly strode in.

“Hey, are you feeling better now?” Nicole asked.

Hugh whirled around after hearing an unfamiliar voice. His eyes widened as soon as he saw Nicole, as he was feeling extremely nervous. He did not expect that Nicole would be able to track him down. He was so anxious that he dropped the bowl of soup that he was holding “Why are you here?” Hugh asked, not bothered by the mess he had just made.

“Calm down. I’m only here to pay the old man a visit.” Nicole glared at him before placing the basket of fruits that she had brought on the table beside the bed.

A murderous glare was present on Hugh’s face as he barked, “My grandpa doesn’t need a visit from you. Leave now!”

The old man gave Hugh a blameful look before Nicole could say anything.’ Hugh, how could you treat our guest like this? Clean up the mess on the floor at once!”

“Grandpa.”

Hugh was not going to leave the ward with Nicole around. He did not trust Nicole to be alone with his grandfather because he had done something to hurt her before this.
