Chapter 810
My Wife is a Hacker
âSeems like you really donât know when to call it quits. Since you say this is Martinâs medicine, then letâs get him to confirm it.â Nicole took out her phone and sent Martin a text.
Martin and the hospital director were seated together, answering the reporters interview questions. His phone suddenly rang, and upon seeing that it was from Nicole, he whispered into the directorâs ears before getting up to leave.
Many reporters started to ask. âDr. Wyance, please stay. We still have some questions to ask you.â
The director immediately got up to help. âDear members of the press, Dr. Wyance is going to handle an emergency case. Iâll be answering everyoneâs questions in his place.â
Martin hurried to Nicoleâs ward upon seeing her message and saw Joyce standing by the side the moment he got in. He ignored her and walked straight toward Nicole.
âWhatâs the matter, Nicole? What happened?â Martin looked at Nicole, bewildered.
âHave a look at this first.â Nicole calmly handed the bottle to him.
âIs there a problem?â Martin took over the medicine in puzzlement before taking a look.
âHydrochloric acid? Whatâs this?â Martin looked at Nicole in shock. âWhy is there such a highly corrosive material in her ward?â
âAÅk her yourself. Nicole looked at Joyce standing by the side.
Martinâs eyes narrowed as he walked to Joyceâs side and asked. âDid you bring this medicine here?
What are you doing bringing this here? And why are you here?â
Martin tossed out three questions in quick succession, making it difficult for Joyce to answer him.
Upon seeing Joyce trembling and not saying a word, Martin got even more furious. âAre you a log or something? What are you standing there for? Answer me, damn you!â
Seeing that she refused to talk, Martin could only turn towards Nicole. âNicole, whatâs going on?â
âItâs clear that she wants to use this medicine on mine. She said itâs a special scar-removing medicine youâve made.
âHowâs your leg?â Martin subconsciously wanted to check the wound on her leg in a fit of panic.
âNo need. I saw through that. Otherwise, I wouldnât be calling you here to confirm things.â Martin listened to what Nicole said and was completely disappointed with Joyce. He never thought that the usually good-natured Joyce would one day harm others, more so Nicole. âMartin, I can explainâ¦âJoyce stepped forward and grabbed Martinâs arm. Martin violently swung his arm away, sending Joyce to the ground. âFrom now on, you are no longer a member of the lab. Get lost from my sight.â
âMartin⦠Joyce still wanted to make one final defense for herself.
âGet lost! Donât ever let me see you again!â Martin did not deign to look at her as he tremblingly pointed towards the door.
âNicole, I hate you!â
âMartin, you can ask me to get lost today, but someday, youâll come back to beg for me!â Joyce wiped her tears off as she got up and ran out of the door.
After Joyce had left, Martin was so remorseful he dared not look Nicole in the eyes as Joyce had almost ruined Nicoleâs leg. âIâm sorry, Nicole. I was a poor judge of character and almost caused you irreversible harm.â
âIâm so sorry.â Martin did not look at Nicole as he bowed toward her.
âYou donât need toâ¦â Just as Nicole was about to help him up, Martin took a few steps back before walking out of the room with his head down.
Ever since that day, Nicole did not see Martin again until the day she was discharged from the hospital.
Jared gave some explanations about the work that needed to be done and then drove to the hospital to pick Nicole up.
âMr. Jared, I thought you were busy. How did you find time to pick me up?â Her words seeped with dissatisfaction.
âYou may not know, but I actually took the time out from my pile of work.â
âSince you donât have time, thereâs no need to pick me up,â she sounded jealous as she said.
