Jared gave Martin a glance and a slight nod. He was in a daze as he continued to look at Nicole."Let's bring this conversation out of here," Martin said as the two men helped Nicole toward the couch.The trio then took their seats on the couch, with Nicole sandwiched in the middle. She shot him a glance and blinked.Jared did not understand what she had meant and turned to Martin.Martin immediately explained. "Oh, she said that there's no need to worry. She's fine."Jared looked at Martin with his brows raised. 'How the heck was he able to read that?'"I got it. Just relax and heal up. This wound is nothing. I'll hire the best doctors in the city to treat you." Jared turned around and comforted Nicole at once, intent on getting the best doctors to restore Nicole's visage.The instant Nicole heard that he wished to hire another doctor, she thought, 'Won't my ruse be exposed?'Then, she gave him another blink at once."What's the matter with her?" Jared asked Martin, unable to

Martin displayed a slight frown. For a moment, he could not understand Nicole's intentions.The, once he noticed that her eyes were closed, he thought, 'It's best not to bother her with any more questions. She must have her own reasons for doing so.'"Well, get your rest, then. If there's anything else you need, you can call me anytime," Martin finished, and turned around to leave the room."Alright."Nicole then slept peacefully throughout the entire night.Meanwhile, Jared had returned to his company, with Max already waiting for him in his office."Tell me everything," Jared ordered as he walked in and took a seat on his chair."From what we've gathered in our investigations, the Adam family are now linked to the McCarthy family through marriage. They've been expanding their sphere of influence wherever possible, and have been urging the McCarthys to do the same. The McCarthys have remained silent on this matter, however, and this has left members of the Adam family unhappy w

"Why should I come over to protect you? Is it because Jared has not been taking good care of you? If that's the case, I'll fly over and teach him a good lesson!" Carl exclaimed, thinking that Nicole had not been treated well and threatened to stand up for her."Keep your voice down! It's not what you think. Jared treats me very well. Anyway, just do as I say." Nicole said, not taking no for an answer."But...""No buts! Are you turning your back on me now?" Nicole questioned, her tone becoming stern."Alright, chill. I'll do as you say." Carl quickly resigned.He too wished to stay by Nicole's side every day, for it was what he had long been yearning for."That's more like it. Well, I ought to go and catch some rest now. You can go back to work. Stay safe, and no matter what happens, please keep yourself protected first," Nicole sternly warned.She knew that he was more capable of defending himself, but she was worried about him, nonetheless."I know. You should get some good r

Jared caressed Nicole's face, while his eyes were brimming with reluctance.Nicole's heart melted at the sight of his doting eyes. 'He has been treating me so well. Even after my face has become like this, he still treats me the same as before. He isn't disgusted by me at all...''The original plan was to lure the perpetrator out, but I didn't expect him to care about me this much. It's really getting overwhelming.'Nicole was struck with a pang of guilt when she saw how reluctant Jared was to leave. 'Maybe I should've told him the plan. That way, he wouldn't be as sad. But then again, Jared would behave too calmly, and because of that, we won't be able to fool anyone.'Then, she closed her eyes and waited for time to pass.As night fell, a person came knocking on Joyce McCarthy's door and barged in hastily."Nicole was injured and hospitalized, Ms. Jo. The injury was very serious. It left her disfigured!""Disfigured?"'The heavens must be on my side! Looks like the restaurant

However, due to the fact that she had just woken up, Nicole's throat was a little parched.Seeing this, Jared immediately passed a glass of water to her. "Here, drink some. It will make you feel better."Nicole's heart warmed as she received the glass of water, after which she gulped it down, "Much better..."'This silly man actually had so much trust for me,' Nicole thought.It had made her feel so bad for him that she did not have the heart to deceive him any longer."That's great," Jared's said, flooded with relief, but this did not last the moment he looked down. "But why are there broken syringes on the ground?"Although the room had been cleaned up, it was still quite messy.

Indeed, it would be too hard for me to fool him completely.'In fact, she was afraid that she would not have been able to keep the ruse up yes
