Chapter 1410

“Put her on some medication, “Martin ordered the nurses by his side.

“Okay,” one of the nurses said, whereupon she immediately approached Nicole.

Nicole did not protest, and went on to allow the nurse to put her on some IV drip.

Martin then walked up to Jared’s sickbed and proceeded to examine him, for more than ten hours had passed since the operation.

‘Why is Jared still not showing signs of consciousness?’ Martin furrowed his brows as he pondered.

After some thinking, he surmised that there was no other way around this. He had done everything he could, and now, the only thing he could do was wait for Jared to wake up by himself.

After checking up on Jared, Martin walked over to Nicole’s sick bed to examine her as well.

“You were severely injured, so you are not allowed to get out of bed today, “Martin said sternly, thinking it would make Nicole take her injuries seriously.

Nicole did not give him a reply, as her gaze was still fixed on Jared.

Seeing that Nicole was keeping mum, Martin turned to Harvey and said, “I have some business to attend to back at the factory. I’ll have to excuse myself now. If anything happens here, give me a call.”

“I will. I will be here to keep them company. You can go and deal with the stuff back at the factory without any worries, “Harvey looked at Martin with an earnestly.

“Good. In that case, I’ll make a move first,” Martin gave Nicole another glance before turning around and leaving.

“You should go home too. I’ll be fine being here by myself,” Nicole said, wanting Harvey to go handle his own things.

“Things are not as busy back in Ellison Group. I can stay here and keep you company for a while, “Harvey said with a caring look on his face.

Nicole looked at him and left him to his own devices. The sick ward then reverted back to complete silence. Harvey went on to take a seat beside Nicole’s sickbed and silently kept her company.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but soon, Harvey registered the sound of loud pacing coming from the hallway. Worried that the noise would disrupt Nicole and Jared’s rest, he got up and made his way to the door.

“Who are you, people? Why are you running around creating a racket? Leave at once!” Harvey coldly eyed the group of people outside the ward.

The moment he had uttered the last of his sentence, one of the men walked over from behind.

His entire figure was oozing with an aura of bitterness as he looked at Harvey. “Mr. Ellison, I hope you are well.”

Harvey looked at the person speaking and centered his gaze on him. “Mr. McCarthy.”

‘Should he not be at the funeral parlor saying his final goodbyes to his daughter right now? Why is he even here?’ Harvey thought.

As he spoke, Luke was already a few steps in front of Harvey.

He then looked at the ward behind Harvey and asked, “Is Nicole Riddle in there?”

Harvey studied Luke McCarthy’s gaze and was certain that he had ill intentions. As such, he could not allow him to enter.

“Mr. McCarthy, this is a hospital. What are you doing here?” Harvey asked as he stood tall, towering over Luke.

“Don’t get all nervous. I heard Mr. Johnston was severely injured, so I came over to pay him a visit,”

Luke took a step forward and stuck his head into the threshold to get a good look of the ward.

Harvey stood before Luke, blocking his view, as he said, “Mr.Johnston requires rest. He will not be accepting visits from anyone right now.”

“Alright then. Send my regards to Mr. Johnston. I hope he gets well soon,” Luke gave Harvey a dubious look, before turning around to leave.

He was not expecting to see Harvey outside the ward. Much to his chagrin, his attempt to enter the ward where Jared and Nicole were in was unsuccessful. With Harvey there, he could not enter, and as such, he could only leave along with his men.
