My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2372
Preston took a deep breath before he said, "Nicole, I know that Snow was in the wrong. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."
Then, he gave her a bow to express his sincerity.
"No need forthat, really. She's still in a critical situation right now. There's no need to apologize. Besides, it's not your fault
anyway. You don't have to do this," Nicole replied.
Although she did not remember everything, she knew that Preston was different from the other members of Dillion's family. He
was the only one who had shown her any semblance of kindness.
"I'm aware of what happened. She orchestrated an accident and injured you before, yet she's now repeating her mistakes
without any hint of remorse. Now, she's suffering the consequences she brought upon herself. She can't blame anyone else,"
Preston grumbled, feeling that Snow's actions this time were truly outrageous.
"Let's not talk about Snow anymore. If you have come to visit me, I must say that I welcome and appreciate that. There's no
need to mention something that has already happened. It's only going to affect our mood today. Let's talk about something
cheerful instead." Nicole replied, not wanting Preston to feel guilty and attempted to change the subject.
However, the look on Preston's face became even more solemn. "I'll come to visit you tomorrow, out of my concern for you. But
for now, I need to go."
"To the operating theater," Nicole said, understanding Preston's intention.
"Yes. No one in the family wanted to come here because of her foolish actions. However, a family member is still needed for the
procedures, so I came," Preston explained.
"Alright then. Go ahead and do what you have to do," Nicole nodded.
Preston swept his glance at Nicole, then at Jared before turning around to leave.
"How heartless of them," Nicole sighed, unable to believe that no one in Dillon's family was willing to come.
She understood that Dillon and the others were trying to prove a point by distancing themselves from Snow. They were probably
even afraid that Jared would make them his next target of retribution.

Then, she looked at Jared and furrowed her brows. "Do you think that Uncle Dillon and the others would have shown up if you
weren't in the picture?"
After all, their own daughter could die at any time. Unfortunately for Snow, her life was not as important as their own interests.
Jared's gaze remained indifferent. "You should get some rest now."
To Jared, nothing should get in the way of her rest now, and he would stop anyone else who tried to disturb Nicole.
"Alright," Nicole agreed with a bemused smile on her face.
He truly was stone-cold, and he did not care one bit about what was happening in Dillon's family. Therefore, Nicole figured that
there was no reason for her to waste her energy on them, as it would be better for her to get some sleep instead.
Soon, the lights went out, and they fell asleep.
Outside the confines of the hospital, however, many would spend the night sleepless.
Such was what was happening in Dillion's house, where the living room was brightly lit. The family were all gathered there with
obvious unease in their breaths.
"What do we do now? Are we really not going to do anything? " Karen's face was pale.
They did not know if Snow was alive or dead, and they felt helpless. They did not even dare go to the hospital.
"Mom, Preston has gone to the hospital already. Let's just wait for his updates," Raine wiped her reddened eyes and tried to
console Karen.
"Why was she so foolish? She already managed to escape. She should have left San Joto instead of trying to go after Nicole
again. Now, we don't even know if she's alive or dead, " Karen muttered anxiously.
"Snow just could not swallow her anger. Why should Nicole be able to enjoy life while we're always suffering? And with this
incident, we will not be taken seriously in San Joto anymore." Raine sighed, pretending to be distressed.
"My poor daughter," Karen lamented again.

"Enough, we have to accept it. She made her decision, so she should suffer the consequences for her actions!" Dillon
reprimanded loudly, feeling frustrated.
He had already done what he could. If Snow still failed, he could only hope that she would not drag them down to hell with her.
