Chapter 3009
Ellar felt he couldn't depart at this moment. He needed to personally look after Patricia; otherwise, he
wouldn't be at peace.
"You should head back," Patricia said, gritting her teeth and attempting to be polite. "Thank you for
today, but I can take care of myself."
"I know you can, but I'm not leaving," Ellar insisted firmly.
Patricia sighed inwardly, realizing it was futile to persuade Ellar to leave. She understood that, despite
his gentle demeanor, Ellar was incredibly stubborn.
Just then, the chauffeur returned, and Ellar went to change his clothes.
When he came back, Ellar found the hospital room suddenly crowded. Jared had arrived with Max, and
even Charlie was there.
Ellar greeted Jared as he stood by the door. His expression changed slightly as soon as he noticed
Charlie.

From Ellar's perspective, it appeared that Charlie hadn't taken good care of Patricia. Otherwise, she
wouldn't have ended up in the rain. If Ellar hadn't found Patricia, who knows how long she would have
been out there.
The vibe got a bit tense. Nicole told Patricia, 'Just chill for now; let's go back.'
"Sure, thanks, everyone," Patricia said softly.
Facing her boss, Jared, she felt a bit stressed. Patricia understood that in her job, emotions shouldn’t
run wild. It was crucial to stay composed to prevent any exploitation. Today, she felt like she messed up
big time.
"Since someone's looking after her, we'll head out too," Martin said, guiding Cindy as they trailed
behind Nicole, leaving the room.
Now, only Charlie and Ellar were left. Biting his lip, Ellar expressed, 'I'm going too, take good care of
her.*
Leaving the room, Ellar didn't exit the hospital. Instead, he sat on a bench in the corridor. He couldn't
relax; he needed to be around, just in case Charlie wasn't great at taking care of people.
Once outside the hospital, Nicole and the rest noticed the rain had stopped.
"I'll head back and start working on the new medication following your plan. I'll update you once we get
results," Martin informed Nicole.
"Sure," Nicole nodded in agreement.
With Patricia in the hospital, needing a couple of days to recover, there was no hurry. They had time.
"You guys can go; I'll grab a taxi," Lulu suggested, waving one down and departing.
Nicole shook her head, realizing Lulu preferred not to be seen off.
"We should head out too," Martin said as they went their separate ways.
They each got into their cars and drove off. Nicole leaned back in her seat, rubbing her temples.
Jared gently embraced Nicole, asking, "Got a headache? Did you catch a cold?"

"It's nothing," Nicole shook her head, feeling a bit uneasy but not considering it as serious, especially
compared to Patricia's situation.
Jared checked Nicole's forehead, confirming her temperature was normal. He gently suggested, "Let's
head home and rest. If you still feel unwell, we can see a doctor tomorrow."
"Sure," Nicole leaned on Jared’s shoulder, feeling a bit more at ease.

At the Riddle residence, dinner was done, and everyone had retired to their rooms.
Jared advised Nicole, "Take a hot shower first, then wait for dinner."
"Alright," Nicole agreed, making her way upstairs.
After her shower, as she was about to head downstairs,
Jared entered with a tray.
"Why bring it up here?" Nicole asked, surprised.
"Let's eat here," Jared suggested, placing the tray with a steaming bowl of cream stew on the table.
Jared had already eaten dinner at the office, but knowing Nicole hadn't had her meal and considering
she had been in the rain, he suggested warm cream stew to prevent her from catching a cold.
