My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1476

Over the past few hours, Carl had been listening to Zeke blaming himself incessantly, and that was driving him up the wall.

Having witnessed Carl's arrogance in the way he spoke, Nicole could not help but roll her eyes at him. "Since when were you an expert in matters related to medicine?"

Carl stopped and became silent at once. "It's not..."

However, when he noticed that Nicole did not look like she was fine at all, he asked, "Was the operation unsuccessful?"

Nicole shook her head. "It was successful. But the shrapnel were embedded in the most vital areas of his head, and so, his brain has been wounded. If he can regain his consciousness tonight, he will be fine. If he doesn't...then I'm not certain if he ever will."

Indeed, it would take a long time for one to recover from damage done to the nerves in the brain.

Then, Zeke's expression of joy dissipated, reverting to one of sadness and disappointment. "How could this be...?"

His dad was the commander of Hustuaburg, and had faced one too many battles and perils in life. In spite of the fact that he had been on the brink of death more than once, he had successfully cheated death every single time. Yet, Zeke could not help but wonder why the injury that his old man had sustained this time was so fatal.

"Stay strong." Nicole stretched her hand out and patted Zeke in the shoulder. "I need you to understand that your dad is in a rather unique position. It's impossible for him to leave the country with ease. I guess he must have gotten himself on a private trip just to find you, this time around. You better give your grandpa a call right away and come up with an excuse before your dad returns. Otherwise, word will soon reach the leaders that your dad has deserted his post. Everything will become much more complicated than it already is."

As thing stood, Nicole already had enough issues to take care of. The last thing she wanted was to get herself into a situation with the Guzman family.

It was only then did Zeke came to his senses. "I got it. I'll call grandpa now."

Then, he walked to the other end of the corridor in restless fashion and called his grandfather.

Carl looked at him and frowned. "Is his phone protected with some form of encryption? If the people who are after him manages to track his signal, will he...?"
