Chapter 1421

When the nurse walked in with the medication, Nicole was still sitting by Jared’s bed.

“You’ve just undergone detoxification, Miss Riddle. It’s not right for you to be this active,” the nurse reminded Nicole gently.

“Okay, did Martin ask you to bring these here?” Nicole looked at the medication atop the nurse’s tray.

“Yeah, Dr. Wyance told me to bring these to you.” The nurse handed Nicole the medication.

“Alright, you may leave now,” Nicole said to the nurse.

“Sure, just alert me if you need anything,” the nurse said, after which she exited the ward.

Nicole stared at the medication before looking back at Jared. ‘How am I supposed to feed him…?’

‘Seems like this is the only way.’ Nicole placed the medicine into her mouth and leaned in toward Jared’s lips…

As she was doing that, Jared’s eyelashes fluttered, and this time, she was able to catch it. She quickly looked back up in shock.

“Are you awake?” Nicole asked excitedly, though he there was no response from him.

Dejectedly, Nicole then said, “If you can hear me, please move your eyelids.”

She then stared at Jared’s eyes quietly, waiting for a miracle to happen. But three minutes had passed, and much to her chagrin, Jared remained still and unresponsive.

The look of excitement on Nicole’s face began to vanish.

“It’s okay. At least I’m able to see you recovering. Keep taking this medication, and you’ll be waking up in no time.” Nicole said.

She wanted Jared to hear her, and at the same time, also wanted to give herself some confidence.

Tired after talking to Jared for such a long time, Nicole returned to her bed to catch some rest.

Suddenly, she thought of Zeke, whereupon she took her phone out to search for his contact before sending him an encrypted text message.

However, Zeke did not reply, even after a long while. Thinking that it was because he was still in hiding, she did not wait for his response.

Then, she switched her laptop on and continued to work on her mission.

Two days later, Harvey sent a message to Nicole. “I’ve captured that guy. We’re in the suburbs in the west of the city. I’ve already sent you the location.”

“Did you expose yourself?” Nicole asked.

“Nope.”

“Good. I’ll be there in a second.” Nicole switched her laptop off and got off her bed.

She walked up to Jared’s bed and looked at him before calling Martin. “Are you free now? Harvey has captured that man.”

“Okay, I’ll head to the hospital now.”

Having understood what Nicole had said, he quickly ditched whatever he was doing and drove to the hospital without the slightest hesitation.

And when he opened the door to the ward, Nicole was already geared up, ready to make a move.

Martin asked as he looked at Nicole’s outfit, “Are you ready? Are you sure that it’s safe out there?”

“It’s safe. Harvey will be with me later. Besides, this place is pretty close to the west coast,” Nicole explained.

Martin nodded. “Sure.”

“I’ll leave Jared in your hands now. Do not leave this place until I am back,” Nicole reminded him, as she was worried about Jared.

“Okay, I shall guarantee that he won’t be harmed or worse off than he was,” Martin promised.

“Okay, I’ll make a move now.” Nicole looked at Jared again before turning around to leave.

“Keep your wits about you. You must inspect anyone who’s coming into the ward. If you notice anyone suspicious, just detain them and wait for my return!” Nicole ordered the bodyguards at the door.

“Understood,” the bodyguards said.

After had spoken, Nicole made her way to the elevator.

It had been some time since she had walked out of the hospital.

The air was so much fresher outside. Nicole quickly made a beeline for her car and drove off to the west coast.
