Chapter 2817

In a soft and calm voice, Patricia replied, "Once a scab forms, the wound will become less painful and itchy."

The sight of Ellar giving her a pitiful and pathetic look annoyed her. At this rate, his lies and pretenses were working

on nobody. She knew for a fact she was not sold on them herself.

The moment Ellar knew that his excuses and intentions had been exposed for what they were, he smiled. "Perhaps

my physique is different from others."

However, this only caused Patricia to roll her eyes harder and reply, "Since you are recovering faster than the rest,

you definitely have a better physique than others."

Ellar's eyes were twinkling a mere few seconds ago, but the instant she made that remark, it quickly darkened as if

Patricia had told him off.

"Alright. I see that your wounds don't require extra attention anymore. I'll be heading back to the headquarters

first," she announced.

And after Patricia had thrown the bandage into the garbage bin, she reminded Ellar, "Don't forget to come back for

your check-ups."

"Okay," he weakly replied, knowing that Patricia was determined to leave.

He was reluctant to let her go, and that was why he had purposely told her that his wounds were still in a bad

condition just so that he could twist her into staying for a while longer. However, the truth was not something he

could hide from her.

Patricia frowned and bit her lips. "I'll get the secretary to remind you of it."

After she had spoken, Patricia turned around and was about to leave when she heard Ellar calling out to her,

’Patricia."

It halted her in her tracks for a moment, after which she took a deep breath and strutted away decisively.

In truth, she knew that Ellar still needed someone to take care of him. However, she could not afford to stay there

any longer. She could clearly tell that Ellar was highly dependent on her over the past two days. What she did not

want to see was for their relationship to develop, or else they would risk allowing things to spiral out of control.

Upon arriving at the secretary's desk, Patricia advised the secretary on things to take note of. Then, she left the

office.

But without realizing it herself, Patricia's gaze drifted off and landed at Ellar's office.

"Is there anything else?" the secretary softly asked when she saw that Patricia had stopped.

"Nothing." Patricia came back to her senses and strode off.

What she failed to notice was that Ellar was at the entrance, looking at her with eyes brimming with sadness.

"Sir, you haven't fully recovered yet. Patricia has ordered me to take good care of you. Please go back to resting,"

his secretary quickly advised.

Seeing that Patricia had entered the elevator, Ellar lowered his head and looked at his arm. He could not

understand why his arm had to heal so quickly. He was still hoping that Patricia could stay, even if just a little longer.

Patricia then left BayCorp and headed to Riddle Corporation.

"Wait, why are you back? Is Ellar fine?" Lulu was shocked as she looked at Patricia.

"His wounds are scabbing. He should be fine." Patricia explained briefly.

She did not want to explain much in fear that Lulu might sense that Patricia's early return was personal.

As expected, Lulu could feel that there was something odd after hearing that explanation.

Still curious, she proceeded to ask, "But his scabs haven't healed yet. Didn't you say that you'd return only once he

has fully recovered? Unless the both of you..."

"No. You're thinking too far." Patricia interrupted, her tone making her sound even more panicky.

Lulu blinked her eyes in shock. "I wasn't thinking too far. I was just wondering if the both of you had an argument."

'Why does Patricia seem a little off? Did something really happen?' Lulu asked herself.

"Hold on," Lulu said.

The more Lulu thought about it, the weirder Patricia seemed to her.

This only fueled her curiosity, prompting her to ask, "What did you think I was implying?"

Indeed, Patricia's sudden reaction had made her return seem a lot more suspicious than it already was.

"Nothing. I'm going to meet Ms. Riddle and report for work now." Patricia hurried off to Nicole's office as if to escape

Lulu's scrutiny.

"Hey, are you feeling guilty?!" Lulu shouted unhappily.

They had barely even finished the conversation, and Patricia was already running away. It was obvious to her at this

point that Patricia was feeling guilty.
