    Chapter 1216


    Looking at the way Martin was ming himself, Nicole felt that she should stop ripping into him. Then, she turned


    to Max and said, "Bring him to the hospital for a checkup. Call me the second you receive any updates."


    "But the situation here..." Max looked at Jared helplessly as the situation here was still a mess.


    "Go ahead, I''ll take care of things here." Jared nced at him and gave him some assurance.


    It was only then that Max gave him a firm nod. ‘ Alright, I''ll drive him to the hospital now."


    Martin looked at Jared, grateful for what he had done. Recalling that Jared had gone in to search for him while the


    fire was still burning, Martin was ovee with a sense of gratitude. "Mr. Johnston, thank you for going in and


    looking for me. Please take care of the situation here."


    Jared nodded lightly as a way of telling him not to worry.


    It was then that Nicole suddenly remembered what Martin had said about Jared entering the factory. The mes,


    which had initially been extinguished, was raging once more.


    After Martin and Max had left, Nicole shot Jared a re. "All of you are the same! Why can’t the both of you give


    me some peace of mind for once? It''s bad enough that I had to deal with a fool like Martin! Why did you rush into


    the fire as well?!"


    Jared shot her a nce with her eyebrows raised. "Oh, so you''re worried about my safety now? I don''t think I can


    tell if he was the only person you were worried about moments ago!"


    Noticing signs of jealousy, Nicole issued a sigh. "Moments ago, I was panicking and worried that something might


    have happened to Martin, and that was why I wasn''t paying attention to what you were saying."


    As Jared recalled the way Nicole had scolded him for not pulling Martin out of the factory, he felt that she had


    wronged her.


    "Now that you know, I wasn''t the one who did not try to bring him out of the fire, was I?" Jared looked at her with a


    frown. ''I went in just to look for Martin, but he was as stubborn as a mule.''


    Nicole nodded. "Yeah. But please. Next time, I don''t want you risking your own life too..."


    She just wished that Jared would drag Martin out, not put himself in danger too.


    Seeing that Nicole was sincerely worried about him, Jared smiled and extended his arms to give her a hug.

    "Alright, I get it, but you better focus on the factory now and think about ways to help US recover. There are a lot of


    things that require our decisions."


    Jared''s reminder alerted her once more. As she witnessed the situation at the factory and how messy it was, she


    issued a sighed.


    ''The road to sess is really filled with hardships,'' she thought. ''Now that half of the factory had been burned to


    ashes, rebuilding will take a really long time toplete.''


    ’We can only wait for it to be rebuilt," she said. "In the meantime, let''s just take a breather."


    Jared saw her through and understood that she was trying to stifle her anger. Knowing this, heforted her by


    saying, ‘ Don''t worry, I''ll get a crew together to rebuild it again. I''ll make sure that they try their best to do it as soon


    as possible."


    Nicole felt relieved, but in less than a second, her eyes narrowed again. Then, she turned to Jared and asked,


    "But, have you discovered the cause behind this fire? Is it really an ident?"


    Jared''s eyes grew dark as well. "My men are on the ground collecting clues now. However, I don''t believe that it''s


    just an ident, especially when we have someone as careful as Martin around."


    Nicole remained silent. As a way of acknowledging what he had said, she let out a cold sneer. ’I don''t care who this


    person is. Since he has decided to screw with me, I won''t let him get away with it."


    It was then that Jared registered a hint of brutality on Nicole, something that he had not seen in her for a while


    now.


    ''The person who had decided to mess with her better pray hard for his own life.''


    In the blink of an eye, nightfall descended upon them. Nicole stayed on site and made sure that the workers had


    relocated all of the salvaged products and machineries. After everything had been organized, she proceeded to


    return to the vi with Jared, and the moment they arrived, Nicole made a beeline for the bathroom and took a


    shower.


    When she came out, Jared had already changed into his casual lounge wear and was waiting for her, staring at


    her with nothing but affection as she walked out with a towel wrapped around her figure. He had not seen her for


    days, and his longing for her was a torment. As he eyed her soft and supple skin, he could not help but step


    forward and help her put on a bathrobe.
