"I'm happy that you're finally able to resume mass production, but I think I can make you a little
happier," Nicole said in a soft voice as she looked out of the window.
Martin turned to her in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to order a thousand pieces of The Beacon," Nicole said, looking at Martin with a solemn
expression.
"A thousand? Why do you need that many of them?" Martin asked, shocked to hear that Nicole wanted
a thousand of those.
"Don't worry about it," she said.
"I have my own uses for them."
"Alright." He nodded.
"Where do I deliver them to?"
"Tell me when you've completed the order," she said. I will get someone to pick it up for me."
"Okay, no problem."
"I will also be asking you for the subsequent needle refills at any time, so you should always be
prepared."
"Okay.I will stock up on as many injections as you want."
Nicole returned to the villa, where Jared was already waiting with a meal served for her.
"It smells so good."
Nicole caught a whiff of the tantalizing aroma as soon as she walked in.
"What is my chef up to, I wonder?"
As she approached the dining room, she saw her favorite dishes on the table.
"What is happening? These are all my favorites."
"You're back!"
Jared waltzed out of the kitchen with two more dishes in his hands.
"Chef, what's the occasion?"
Nicole walked over to help him untie his apron.
"Take a seat."
Jared poured two glasses of red wine, sat down, and looked at her with his glass raised.
"Thank you for looking after my grandfather while I was away."
"What are you talking about? I'm pretty close to Mr.Johnston Sr., am I not?" she said.
''I'm not just looking after him because of you.Jared knew that she wanted to lighten his burden for
him.He looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Anyway, thank you.
"Here's a toast for you too,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм she said.
"You must have missed your family when you were abroad.I bet it was just as hard."
"Try some of this," he said, gesturing at the dishes.
Nicole took a piece and consumed it.
"Oh wow.If only you could cook me a favorite dish every single day."
"Sounds like a walk in the park for me."
Jared looked at her with a smile.
"How are you holding up in the hospital?" Nicole asked and eyed him expectantly.
"Has your grandpa regained consciousness?"
"No.I really don't know when, or if he will regain consciousness.He hasn't moved a finger ever since
that day.Do you think it could have just been his muscles or nerves twitching involuntarily?" Jared said,
seemingly in despair.
"Don't be discouraged," she replied.
Your grandpa will awake from his comatose for sure.Are your men guarding the hospital now?"
"Yeah.I have ordered Henry to relieve his men off their duties," he said.
"Now, I have replaced them with people of my own.They are outside the ward and in the security room
as we speak." Nicole nodded.
"Good.Tell them to keep their wits about them.Your grandpa is still not out of the woods yet.Those who
wish to harm him are likely to strike again."
"I've thought about this,"Jared said.
If someone else dares to make a move, I'll see to it that he doesn't get away with it.By the way, have
you found the sham doctor?"
"Yeah," she replied.
"He has fled and is now holed up in another country, but I have hired someone to hunt him down and
capture him.I believe we'll be seeing him soon enough."
"Good.I didn't expect you to be so quick on your feet."Jared complimented her.
