Chapter 2937Frowning, Ellar said, “Nicole, I’ve always listened to you since we were kids. I can tell when
something’s bothering you.”
He had always paid close attention to Nicole, understanding her better than anyone else.
novelbinAt this point, Nicole simply mentioned that Patricia was fine, which to Ellar signaled that Patricia might
actually be in trouble. He guessed that something had happened, which was why Patricia had
disappeared without a trace.
Nicole sighed and tried to reassure him, “Patricia’s okay. She just doesn’t want to be seen right now. I
have to respect her choice.”
“But how can she be okay?” Ellar wondered aloud, confused. “I heard about the hospital incident.
Those people were caught, but Patricia vanished right after!”
He hadn’t been able to find Patricia since, so he couldn’t believe she was really fine.
Nicole gave him a look, “She really is okay.”
Ellar felt a lump in his throat and pleaded, “Please, Nicole, just tell me.”
His suspicions grew stronger. ‘If everything was fine, why she needs to hide?
Sure, Patricia might have met someone special, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stay friends. Why is
she dodging me completely, not even responding to my messages?’ Nicole patted Ellar’s shoulder, “Go
home. Since you and Patricia aren’t connected anymore, those who need to worry about her will.”
Ellar stopped in his tracks, a new thought striking him.’ Could it be that it’s not Patricia who’s avoiding
me, but Charlie who’s stopping her from getting in touch?’ After a moment of silence, Ellar stood up, “I
understand. I’ll go now.”Nicole watched him leave, his dejected figure making her frown, but she said nothing more.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at it and answered,” Martin, you have news? Alright, I’ll bring
her to see you after work.”
After hanging up, Nicole looked at the recently closed office door and sighed silently.
She couldn’t tell Ellar about Patricia’s situation as she understood Patricia’s feelings. The last person
Patricia would want to see now was probably Ellar.
Regardless, the current situation was Patricia’s choice, and Nicole felt she should respect that. As for
Ellar, if Patricia was adamant, then there was nothing to be done.
Thankfully, Martin had some news, which might help Patricia.
Taking a deep breath, Nicole texted Patricia to meet her at Martin’s place after work.
As the workday finally ended, Nicole and Lulu left Riddle Corporation together.
The driver brought the car around.
Once in the car, Lulu asked, “Patricia will come, won’t she?”
“Yes,” Nicole nodded.
“I hope Martin’s solution works, and Patricia’s face heals soon,” Lulu sighed.
When they arrived at Martin’s lab, Patricia was already there.
Martin looked at them and said, “Let’s sit down and talk.”
“Is there a good treatment plan?” Lulu asked eagerly as they sat.Patricia looked nervous, and Nicole gently patted her hand to comfort her.
Biting her lip slightly, Patricia looked at Nicole and nodded,” No matter the result, I’ll cooperate with the
treatment.”
She was prepared to try, even if the outcome wasn’t ideal.
