Chapter 2848

MY WIFE IS A HACKER CHAPTER 2848-Lulu chatted all the way to the hospital, reaching a point where she asked Patricia, “So how’s Ellar?”

“He’s better now, but he has not fully recovered. That was why he did not dare to return to the Riddle family manor last night,” Patricia explained.

“Oh well, everyone thought he was abroad, so no one bothered to ask for the specifics,” Lulu added and paused.” Wait, is he coming back to attend Emery’s wedding? I mean, it is around the corner.”

Patricia frowned, uncertain of what Ellar’s decision would be. Emery’s wedding was about a week away, and as one of Emery’s closest family members, Ellar should be there for the occasion. No matter how busy he was, he should never miss his brother’s wedding. It would be difficult to explain Ellar’s absence if he did.

‘ Patricia, please keep a close eye on him from here on out. Even if he can’t fully recover in time, he must still attend the wedding. In the event that he’s exposed, just tell everyone he sustained a minor injury during an accident while he was abroad,” Nicole instructed Patricia.

“Yes, I understand,” Patricia replied, realizing there was no other option at this point.

After a while, the car pulled over at the entrance of the hospital, whereupon the trio got out of the car.

“Hey Lulu. I think you should get some fruits,” Nicole reminded.

“What? Do I have to buy him something?” Lulu protested with reluctance written all over her face.

Nicole chuckled. “You can’t visit a patient empty-handed. That would just be inappropriate.”

“Well, if this was someone else, sure, we can’t visit empty- handed, but this is Harvey we’re talking about here,” Lulu argued, not wanting to waste a dime on him.

“Come on. Just get on with it,” Nicole reassured Lulu with a pat on her shoulder.

Although Lulu remained unwilling, she still did what Nicole asked her to do. After a while, she returned with a basket of fruits, and the group entered the hospital, arriving at the ward shortly.

“Mr. Ellison?” they greeted Thomas.

“I see everyone is here.” Thomas nodded with relief as if he could now see a sliver of hope.

After placing the basket of fruits down, Lulu glanced over at Harvey. She was frowning but she did not have anything to say to him.

Meanwhile, Nicole approached the bedside, looking at the dejected Harvey before issuing a sigh. “Do you plan to spend the rest of your days on this hospital bed?”

Hearing Nicole’s voice, Harvey slowly raised his head in dismay. “Are you here to mock me?”

“So what if I say yes?” Nicole admitted.

“Why you!” Harvey’s face turned purple with rage.

He gritted his teeth, and then, in a tone indicative of helplessness and defeat, he replied, “Well, you’re right. The only thing I’m worthy of now is mockery.”

To Harvey, they lived a “winner-takes-all” sort of world, and now, he felt that he was set up to be a loser from the very beginning.

Nicole narrowed her eyes, and that was when she turned to the others and said, “You guys may leave for now.”

“Nicole?” Lulu shook her head, disagreeing with her approach.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” Nicole nodded confidently.

No matter if today’s talk went well or not, Nicole was confident that Harvey wouldn’t hurt her. Even if he attempted to, she knew she could defend herself.

Plus, if needed, Patricia could step in to help restrain Harvey, giving them the upper hand.

“Call me if you need anything, Ms. Riddle,” Patricia reminded Nicole before leaving.

Thomas and Lulu followed suit, but the latter was still looking back at Nicole with worry written all over her face. In turn, Nicole flashed her a slight smile, indicating that she would be fine.

Once everyone had left, Nicole turned her gaze to Harvey.

“Initially, I didn’t even want to give a damn about you. But then, your grandfather came to me for help because he doesn’t want to see you in this state,” Nicole cut to the chase.

“For better or worse, my business has nothing to do with him, ” Harvey said, believing that his grandfather did not truly care about him.

If Thomas did, Harvey would not have been left in this miserable state right now.
