Chapter 2960


    "Martin fell ill," Nicole said after hearing the news.


    Then she instructed Max, "Take me to Martin''sboratory."


    "Okay," Max agreed, steering the car in a different direction.


    They soon arrived at theboratory.


    As Jared prepared to apany Nicole out of the car, she stopped him, "You go ahead with your


    work, I can handle things here."


    Jared frowned, showing reluctance and concern about the current situation.


    "Lulu and Patricia will also being over," Nicole reassured Jared.


    Hearing this, Jared hesitated briefly before agreeing, "Call me if you need anything."

    "Sure, don''t worry,"


    Nicole replied with a smile, and then stepped out of the car.


    After waving to Jared, Nicole entered theboratory.


    "Arrange for someone to protect her," Jared said, his gaze serious, instructing Max.


    "Yes," Max replied and immediately made a call to arrange it.


    Given the uncertain situation, ensuring Nicole''s safety was indeed paramount.


    Jared felt somewhat relieved and leaned back in his seat,"Let''s go."


    Max started the car and drove to Johnston Group''s office.


    As Nicole entered theboratory, Cindy approached her, visibly worried, "You''re finally here!"


    "What exactly happened?" Nicole asked, frowning.


    She was shocked when she received Cindy''s call.


    ''How could Martin suddenly fall ill?'' "It''s because of Patricia''s medicine.


    It hasn''t been effective for the past few days, so he wanted to adjust the form, but..."


    Cindy paused, looking at Nicole hesitantly.


    Nicole''s frown deepened, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.


    "Did he attempt to create a form with ingredients that are toxicologically ipatible?" Nicole


    asked, her voice quivering slightly with concern.


    Cindy bit her lip, nodding reluctantly.


    "Yes, he did."


    "Even if that''s the case, why would he fall ill?"


    Nicole was puzzled.


    The medicine form with toxicological ipatibility was potentially the fastest acting but also risky.


    After discussing with Martin, Nicole had decided it would only be used as ast resort.


    But Patricia was fine now, which meant he hadn''t used it on her yet, even if he considered it.


    ''But why has he ended up sick?'' "He''s poisoned,"


    Cindy finally admitted.


    "What?!"


    Nicole was shocked, beginning to piece things together.


    ''He tested it on himself before using it on Patricia?!'' Seeing Nicole''s expression, Cindy nodded,


    confirming her suspicion.


    "He really is...reckless.How could he do this?"


    Nicole was frustrated and quickly headed toward Martin''s office.


    Entering the office, she saw Martin lying on the couch, his face pale.


    "Martin?"


    Nicole called out, but there was no response.


    "He''s been unconscious since this morning, so I had no choice but to contact you,"


    Cindy informed her.


    Nicole took a deep breath, her expression serious.


    "Let me take a look."


    No wonder Cindy had called asking for help.


    She really had no other options.


    Standing by the couch, Nicole began examining Martin.


    "Hey, Nicole,"


    Lulu''s voice came in, followed by her and Patricia entering the office, with Er trailing behind.
