My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2737

Chapter 2737

Having said that, Patricia turned around and began walking away.

Although her injury was not severe, she still wanted to take a good rest and wake up early the next day. She needed to be extra vigilant and alert during work tomorrow.

As she was about to leave, Ellar reached out and grabbed her.

However, he had made the mistake of seizing her by the arm which had been injured, causing Patricia to grimace and cry out, "Ow!"

She winced as her bad arm was in tremendous pain, and pulled away from Ellar's grasp.

Realizing that he had caused her pain, he immediately released her with a remorseful look on his face. "Sorry for hurting you. Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?"

"Never mind." Patricia said, dumbfounded and speechless.

Going to the hospital would be totally unnecessary. It was just a brief moment of pain, not something severe enough to warrant a visit to the ward.

"I'll take you home." Ellar pulled her into his car.

He was still worried sick for her, as she had refused a trip to the hospital.

Patricia sighed, feeling helpless and defeated. "No, I'm fine, really. I can go home by myself."

"Well, you're going home anyway. What's the harm in letting me take you?" Ellar insisted and turned to look at the driver." Take us to Flora Apartments."

"How do you know where I live?" Patricia asked with a frown.

"I asked," Ellar pointed to the two men she had assigned to protect him.

The two bodyguards lowered their heads at once, their faces guilt ridden. 'Did we do something wrong?'

Patricia then took a deep breath and warned the two, "Don't tell any outsiders my address in the future."

"Ye-yes, Patricia," they stammered. 'How are we supposed to know that Ellar is an outsider?'

However, Ellar did not seem to know what Patricia meant, and proceeded to chime in, "Yeah, don't tell any outsiders next time."

"It's been so many years, so there shouldn't be any problems within the organization. If it's not due to the changes in their surroundings, we can rule out internal factors as the cause of their reappearance. That said, I believe they are motivated by external forces," Jared said, his voice heavy and low.

"External?" Nicole frowned slightly. 'What could that be? Benefits of some sort?'

'Is it possible that they have been given enough incentive to come out of hiding?' she wondered.

"There might be lucrative rewards offered to them," Jared said calmly, though his words conveyed a sense of nervousness and pressure.

"Yeah, that's the only reason that makes sense to me right now." Nicole agreed after pondering over it for a moment.

They could only wait for the results of Charlie's investigation, which would hopefully be over soon.

"Those thugs exposed themselves today, but they didn't manage to complete the mission, so they'll probably lay low for a few days," Nicole inferred.

It was evident that the group were well trained and coordinated. They would never act rashly and recklessly, as everything was well planned from the very beginning.

Moreover, they had probably lurked around Ellar for a while, waiting for the right moment to strike.
