Chapter 1493


    "Of course.He heard you were injured, so Mr.Dous rushed over as soon as possible.But, you were


    in aa for two days, so I arranged for him to stay at the base," Carl replied.


    "Oh..."


    Nicole''s expression was slightly awkward as she had not expected that she would have slept for two


    days.


    It was honestly too much; most likely, Dous was already furious.


    Yet, she only had eyes for Jared at the moment.


    "When did you wake up? I didn''t even know..." Nicole asked.


    When Mr.Johnston Sr. came over, he had clearly not yet awoken.


    However, when she was in danger, he rushed around from the maind.


    Jared stared at the surprise and worry that glinted in Nicole''s eyes, then looked at her and reproached,


    "I haven''t woken up yet, and you dumped me and then went adventuring all alone? What did you n


    to do if I had not rushed over in time?"


    Once he remembered Nicole''s blood-soaked state, his heart felt like it was painfully stabbed.


    It was not like he had not seen Nicole go on missions.


    He also guessed that a strong person like Nicole would definitely be met with dangerous missions in


    the organization.


    However, before this, she would always save the day.


    But this time, he noticed how dangerous Nicole''s jobs were.


    Being stared by his searing gaze, Nicole was feeling slightly guilty.


    She did not know how to answer and merely mumbled, "It was an emergency, and I was worried I


    would drag you down. So I left..."


    "Then you used this thing to observe me constantly?"


    Jared narrowed his gaze and pulled out a pinhole camera from his pocket.


    Nicole did not expect him to know and could only squeeze an ugly smile while saying, "I was just


    worried for you..."


    "Was it also you who agreed to let Martin send Fiore to my sick ward?"


    Jared continued asking.


    ''Is this woman not jealous?" He thought.


    When mentioning Fiore, Nicole''s expression turned worse.


    She pouted, saying, "Of course not.It''s just that it would be impossible for Martin to always stay with


    you at the sick ward.On Max''s side, if he kept running to the hospital, grandfather would know.Since


    Fiore would not have any ill intentions toward you..."


    "No ill intentions.Are you sure?"Jared said with a face filled with glumness.


    ‘Does this woman care about me after all?'' Jared thought.


    Seeing that Jared was not speaking and was seemingly angry, Nicole could only sigh, "Of course, I was


    not reassured.I wanted so badly to fly back immediately.If there had been no ident the day before, I


    would have already left and returned to your side..."


    Jared''s emotions felt much better when he heard those wordsing from the bottom of her heart.

    His gaze also softened slightly, but his tone was still scolding, "If you really wanted to go back, why did


    you not consider more for yourself?"


    He had already heard the incident from Carl''s mouth and knew that Nicole chose to sacrifice herself to


    protect Carl.His heart was filled with rage and distress for her.


    Nicole was stunned and answered awkwardly, ''Was it Carl who told you?"


    Jared''s gaze turned stormy, and he said, "Do you know how it feels to hear from another man''s mouth


    that my woman sacrificed herself to save him at all costs?"


    Heartache and inexplicable jealousy were what he felt.


    The more he looked at Carl, the more Carl looked like an eyesore.


    Nicole understood Jared so well and knew he was slightly jealous.


    She could only tell him the truth, "On a mission before we met, Carl got heavily injured and


    disappeared into the sea for a long time when he tried to protect me.I still remember the feeling of guilt


    now...So, I really didn''t want to lose him again."


    Nicole''s words were spoken with deep emotions.


    But when Jared''s ears heard them, it only made him feel more unbearable.


    "Then you would have the heart to let me lose you?"


    His voice was still cold but also hinted at a sliver of fear.


    Jared was not afraid of anything.


    No one would make him scared, and he did not fear death.


    Yet this time, he was terrified.


    If he werete by just a bit, he would not get to see her again.


    Seeing Jared''s blue gaze, Nicole''s heart sank.


    She could only droop her head and say, "I''m sorry...Jared..."
