My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1068

Nicole woke up to the sound of Jared's voice. "Who just called?"

"The hospital did. They have gotten us a suspicious individual." Jared told Nicole as he got dressed.

The instant she heard that something had transpired in the hospital, her eyes widened and she quickly got herself dressed at once. "I'm coming with you."

Jared glanced at her. "Alright, let's go."

The two of them did not even have time for breakfast, as they had to race off to the hospital. Upon arrival, Jared and Nicole made a beeline for the ward to check on Mr. Johnston Sr.

When the bodyguards at the door saw Jared approaching, they greeted him.

"How is Mr. Johnston Sr.?" Jared asked, concerned about his grandfather.

"He is safe. The suspect did not manage to enter."

"Good." Jared pushed the door open and walked in. Mr. Johnston Sr. was still lying serenely in his hospital bed, and all the surrounding equipment were working as they should.

"Stay here with Grandpa, while I'll head to the security room to see who that person is," Jared said to Nicole.

"Okay," she said. "Go ahead."

Jared stormed off to the security room. When a bodyguard saw him approaching, he opened the door and greeted Jared.

As Jared entered the room, he caught sight of an emaciated man in a white lab coat crouched on the floor with his hands tied behind his back.

"Conrad Calhoun."

"Who sent you?"

"I don't get what you're on about!" Conrad protested. "I'm a doctor and I work here! Let me go or I'll call the cops!"

"You want to call the cops?" Jared stared at the man with a smirk, intending to find out if he had the guts to do so. "Good. I would've forgotten if you didn't remind me. Somebody untie him and pass him a phone!"

When the security detail placed the phone in front of him with the numbers, 911, dialed in, Conrad swallowed and wimped out. He would not dare to finger the call icon on the interface.

Jared saw this and sneered. "I thought you said you wanted to call the cops on me. All you need to do is press that little icon over there. Why won't you do it? What is there to be afraid of?"
