Chapter 1425


    I have my reasons. Just keep that in mind.”


    “Okay.”


    Martin was sitting in the ward when they pushed the door open. He had not left the room even once


    ever since Nicole had gone out.


    “You’re back.’1 Martin stood up and looked at them.


    “Yeah,” Nicole uttered.


    “How did it go?” Martin looked at Nicole with a brow raised.


    “Things weren’t bad at all,” she replied, not needing to worry about being ambushed anymore.


    “That’s great,” Martin said.


    Suddenly, Martin’s phone rang, and he took a nce at it.


    “Nicole, somebody from the factory just called. I’ll make my way there now, since you guys are back.”


    Martin looked at Nicole and said.


    “Sure,” she replied. “Thanks for your help. See you.”


    “No worries,” Martin replied. “See you around, Harvey.”


    “Okay, drive safe,” Harvey said.


    Harvey went up to Jared’s bed and looked at him.


    Then, he walked over to Nicole and asked, “Should we get something to eat?”


    “I’m good. I wish to stay here,” Nicole declined, as she thought that there had to be at least one person


    in the ward.


    “Come on. I know you’re worried about Jared being alone here, but Luke has been taken care of.


    Besides, there are so many bodyguards outside. Jared will be fine,” Harvey told Nicole.


    “Even though Luke isn’t a threat anymore, I just don’t feel safe leaving Jared alone here. You should


    just go out and eat on your own.” Nicole hospital.


    “Hold on, Nicole. We’re almost at the hospital,” Jared tried tofort Nicole as he drove.


    “Not the hospital. Look for Martin. He’s the best doctor around,” Nicole reminded him as shey in the


    back.


    Jared immediately turned the car around and drove to the Beacon factory.


    Anxious, he gave Martin a call. “Martin, Nicole’s hurt. Where are you now?” “Nicole’s hurt?!”


    ‘I’m at home. You cane over now,” Martin told him. During the previous renovation, he had built a


    professional medical room in his house to be used in unique situations.


    “Okay, welle over right now.”


    Martin went to get the equipment ready as soon as he put down the phone.


    Jared sped all the way there, running several traffic lights. In less than ten minutes, he had arrived at


    Martin’s ce.


    Jared carried Nicole inside. “Martin?”


    Hearing Jared’s voice, Martin immediately got out to meet them.


    “Put her on the bed,” he instructed.


    Jared put Nicole on the sick bed and looked at her with an anxious look on his face.


    “Go out and take a breather. I’ll check Nicole’s injuries.” Martin looked at Jared.


    “I’ll stay here. Work on her now. I won’t disturb you.” Jared had no intention of leaving Nicole alone. He


    wanted to stay by her side.


    looked at Harvey and returned to the bed to get some rest.

    Harvey figured that it would not be appropriate for him to persuade her any further as she had already


    gotten into bed. In addition, he would be the one to me, should anything terrible happen to Jared if


    Nicole left.


    “Okay, I’ll go alone then. Let me know what you’d like to eat, and I’ll bring them back here,” Harvey


    offered as he looked at her.


    “It’s fine. I don’t have an appetite.” Nicole took herptop out and began typing away.


    “Okay. I’ll get going now.” Harvey quietly left after seeing how Nicole was giving him the cold shoulder.


    “Sure,” Nicole said, staring at herptop screen without even lifting her head.


    Harvey left the hospital. As soon as he figured that there was little point in eating alone, he returned to


    the office, instead of going to a restaurant.


    Back in the base of operations, Carl was on the phone with f. “Is the equipment ready?”


    “It will be soon. Five units of Braves are yet to be armed.” f responded.


    “Good. Give me ess to the Braves after they’re ready. I must start nning on the defense,” Carl


    said to f.


    ‘They’re owned by thepany. I’ve got to ask for my superior’s permission before doing so,” f


    exined to Carl.


    “Okay. Get it done as soon as possible. I fear that The Raven willunch another assault soon,” Carl


    said, telling f about his worries.


    “Sure. I’ll get it done right now.” f hung up and dialed his superior’s number.


    “Yes, I understand. Rest assured; I’ll be sure to cooperate with Carl,” f said, addressing the person


    on the phone in the most courteous way he thought possible.


    “Get the Braves ready as soon as possible. I need return to the central control room now. Keep me


    updated,” f ordered his subordinates, after which he left.


    Carl was still waiting for fs reply in the master control room, when all of a sudden, The Raven


    mounted another offensive again.


    Carl immediately issuedbat orders to every squad present there.” Send the Braves to the front and


    let them cover US. I need you to work together with the Braves and shoot at the enemies from the


    back. That way, we can defend against the enemies in the most effective way possible.”


    “Sir, we don’t have ess to the Braves yet, so our men are stuck out there. What should we do?” one


    of the group leaders reported to Carl.
