My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 230
No wonder she had been feeling like missing something. It turned out that she had forgotten to go to the family dinner every Friday night. But Nicole did not give Norah a damn, knowing that Norah was deliberately looking for trouble.
Just then, Steve had come to Nicole’s rescue. “No point talking about it now. Grandpa has fallen sick. We are all family, so there is no need to fuss about it.”
He looked at Nicole understandably, and Nicole gave him a grateful nod. “Steve, I understand. Dad, Mom, I’ll go see grandpa first,” she said and then walked into the ward calmly as if nothing could affect her.
Norah looked jealous as Nicole went. She then set her eyes on Jared, who had come with Nicole. She thought Nicole had been fooling around with some random men for the past two days, not expecting Nicole to see Nicole coming back with Jared.

After not seeing Jared for so many days, Norah immediately went up to say hello. “Jared, I didn’t expect you to come. Are you with Nicole?” She was really eager to know where Nicole and Jared had been for the past two days.
When everyone heard that Jared and Nicole had probably been together for the past two days, they felt it too awkward to ask. Nicole had just come of age, and Jared was an adult; they tried not to interfere if they were in a normal relationship.
But what puzzled Daniel was that Jared had agreed to cancel his engagement with Nicole. They had not mentioned this matter recently.
Steve saw his parents remain silent. He pushed his gold-framed glasses up his nose and gave Jared a friendly smile. “Hello, Jared. I didn’t expect that you would know and come,” he said apologetically.
“Mr. Riddle Sr.’s condition is serious?” Jared nodded gently. Daniel had talked about Mr. Riddle Sr.’s condition just now. Jared was just puzzled why Mr. Riddle Sr. suddenly fell ill.
Steve saw Jared’s doubts and said frankly, “It is a sudden heart attack. Conventional medication and treatment didn’t work. He requires surgery, so we are looking for the best doctor.”
Nodding his acknowledgment, Jared looked thoughtfully into the ward, but no one knew what he was thinking. He then turned around and walked toward the elevator calmly.
