My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 3002

Martin and Ellar were startled by Nicole’s suddent appearance. Cindy, holding a tray, was so surprised that she dropped it, the noise echoing in the room.

Nicole looked straight at Ellar's arm. "What happened to your arm?" she asked.

"I got a little hurt. Martin's helping me out," Ellar said, trying to play down the pain, though his teeth were clenched.

Nicole raised an eyebrow skeptically, glancing at Ellar. "Why does Martin need to personally handle a minor injury of yours?"
