Chapter 2733
Suddenly, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a knife hurtling toward Patricia, and in a flash, he lunged toward the
attacker who was holding it, and knocked it out of his hand.
Then, another one of the men grabbed Ellar's arm, prompting Patricia to give him a swift roundhouse kick before
pulling Ellar back to her side.
Patricia could instantly feel the pressure off her chest when Ellar was with her. Although Ellar knew next to nothing
about combat, his reaction times were quick. If anything, the two went on to coordinate their defenses and hold
their own without allowing their assailants to take advantage of their positioning.
"Captain!" Patricia let out a sigh of relief when she heard a familiar voice.
Soon, two figures joined the fight, thus turning the tide against the men. The advantage even gave Patricia and Ellar
the opportunity to retreat from the scene.
"Are you okay?" Ellar asked, his eyes brimming with concern.

Once the assailants noticed that the tables had turned against them, they whistled, tossed a few gas grenades on
the ground, and fled as the wall of fog enveloped their surroundings. They were gone long before the smoke
dissipated.
With their attackers clean out of the scene, Ellar's bodyguards approached the duo. "Captain, how are you holding
up?"
"I'm fine. Let's talk back at the office."
Then, they made their way to BayCorp.
They were fortunate that the restaurant they had chosen to dine in was close to BayCorp, making their immediate
rescue possible. Had that not been the case, things would have taken a turn for the worst.
Back at BayCorp, Patricia instructed those two, "From now on, wherever he goes, you must stick to him like glue."
In addition, they had made the mistake of letting their guard down. She had judged that the presence of the two
men was unnecessary since they were not straying too far from the company building to have lunch. And
unfortunately, the opponents had taken advantage of their blunder.
Her gaze darkened as she thought about the assailants. Then, she turned around, wanting to report back to Nicole
back in Riddle Corporation.
"Captain, treat your injuries before you return," one of Ellar's guards said.
"Where does it hurt?" Ellar immediately panicked as he wondered why he had not noticed it sooner.
"I'm fine.” Patricia replied.
She did not wish to take care of her wound here. All she wanted to do was to return to the headquarters and report
back to Nicole as soon as possible.
Seeing that she was adamant about leaving, Ellar pulled her back into the office, turned to his secretary, and
ordered," Bring the first aid kit."
Once she had brought the box to Ellar, he dismissed her.
"Give it to me. You may leave," Ellar said after grabbing the first aid kit.
"Of course." The secretary left the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Come on. It's just a minor injury. Let's not make a big deal of this," Patricia stated out of unease as she and Ellar
were the only ones left in his office.
However, Ellar's gaze remained fixed on Patricia's arm." When did you get hurt?"
'Why didn't she tell me? I wouldn't have known if nobody had mentioned it. And when was she injured? I have been
by her side, but why didn't I notice it?' he wondered.
Patricia saw that he was staring at her wrist, so she pulled her sleeve down and said, "Give me the first aid kit. I'll
handle it myself."
Patricia figured that Ellar would not allow her to leave with her injuries unattended. Little did she expect that there
was a more caring, masculine side to him, as he usually came off as a young and immature son from a wealthy
family.
"Leave it to me." Ellar took a deep breath, deciding to treat her wound.
Then, he reached out, grabbed her sleeve, and pulled it back. To his horror, he heard the sound of fabric being
ripped apart at the very next second. As it turned out, he had pulled her sleeve back a little too hard, and ended up
tearing a large hole which almost reached her shoulder.
"Would you believe me if I say it was unintentional?" Ellar asked awkwardly.
