Chapter 742

Martin immediately felt guilty. “I’m sorry, I will be gentler.”

“Okay.” Nicole nodded.

“Be careful.” Jared was not too happy and warned Martin.

No one had ever threatened Martin like this, and he was a little upset. But he put up with it for Nicole’s
sake.

After applying medicament, Martin bandaged the wound.

Nicole’s medical skills may be above Martin’s, but Martin probably paid more attention to detail. Given
a choice, she would not bother about this minor injury. But she did not want Jared to worry about her,
so he followed him to the hospital. Now things turned out to be not too bad. After her wound healed,
she would apply her special medicine, and the scar would disappear.

“Avoiding wetting the wound for the first couple of days,” Martin said.

“Okay.” Nicole knew all of this common sense.

Martin nodded contentedly at seeing Nicole so obliging.

Jared was upset when he saw the two looking at each other. He inserted himself into the middle of the
two and took Nicole away. “It’s almost time. Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Nicole did not forget to look back at Martin and thank him.

Martin looked at her with a smile, his heart fluttering, looking slightly shy. “Don’t mention it. It was my
job.”



Jared frowned and took Nicole away, not letting her say another word to Martin.

Martin looked on as Nicole left, feeling melancholy.

The hospital CEO came over. “How’s it going, Martin?”

Martin smiled. “Don’t worry. I have taken care of the patient’s wound, and it will not leave a scar.”

The hospital CEO let out a smile. “That’s good, that’s good. The consultation fee is high this time; you
will get a bonus this month.”

Martin nodded awkwardly, but he did not care about the money at all.

“I will return to the lab now.” He stayed here only because the hospital had the most advanced medical
research facility in the country, and what he wanted to do most was medical research. “All right, there
you go.” The hospital CEO waved happily to let him go.

Martin returned to his lab, but all that came to mind was Nicole’s gentle face. He entered the lab in a
daze, only to hear Joyce talking impatiently inside.

“Dad, I’ll do it. Don’t rush me anymore, okay?”

He looked inside and saw Joyce holding her phone around her neck with the gloves on, staring at the
cell activity under the microscope.

Seeing Martin’s return and his not-too-happy expression, she quickly said a few words into the phone
and hung up. Tucking the phone back into her pocket and shifting her attention back to the microscope,
she heard Martin’s grumpy voice.

“What were you doing, Joyce? Changed the damn gloves.” Martin watched and was pissed as Joyce
nearly ruined his research.



Only then did Joyce realize she had picked up the mobile phone without taking off her gloves. The
bacteria on the mobile phone were so many that they could completely contaminate the research
subjects in the instrument.
