“How much longer are you planning to take care of him?” Charlie frowned and asked unhappily.
“His injury hasn’t healed yet,” Patricia replied.
She did not wish to discuss something for which the outcome was uncertain, so she changed the
subject at once. “What brought you here? Do you need anything?”
Even though Charlie was just passing by, Patricia knew he was not someone with too much free time to
waste. If there was not something important, he would likely not even bother to turn up.
“I just came to check on you,” Charlie said after glancing at Patricia. “The investigation is ongoing, and
there are no concrete results yet.”
“Since that’s the case, you should carry on with your work. I’ll be fine here.
Besides, I’m not the one injured, so I don’t need anyone to take care of me,”
Patricia reminded Charlie.
Charlie felt somewhat helpless in the face of her words, but it was true; he did not have a lot of time to
spare. The only reason he came here was to tell Patricia that she would not have to stay here if it was
not necessary for her to do so.
He was aware of Ellar’s feelings toward Patricia, especially after this incident.
And now, more than ever, he was even more certain of it. However, he felt that Ellar and Patricia were
people from two completely different worlds, and that things between them would not end well if they
were to get together without thinking it through.
After giving Patricia one last glance, Charlie drew a deep breath and left.
Patricia bit her lip and sighed thereafter. She understood Charlie’s intention, but there were just certain
things she could not bring herself to do. Ellar had gotten himself hurt because of her, so she would
have to wait for him to recover before she could leave.
Gritting her teeth, Patricia picked the first aid kit up and walked into her temporary office. The
documents that had not been handed over to Ellar were on her desk, which meant that she needed to
handle them.
Evening approached later that day, and when Nicole was done with her work, she got to the entrance
to see that Jared was already waiting for her outside.
After getting into the car, Nicole leaned back against the seat and sighed. “Turns out, not having
Patricia around does affect me to some degree.”
When Patricia was around, she would take care of a large number of things on Nicole’s behalf without
having to ask for her opinions or instructions. Now that Patricia had gone over to BayCorp, Nicole had
no choice but to handle those little tasks on her own.
Jared gently hugged Nicole and looked her in the eye. “Tell Patricia to come back if you can’t take it
anymore.”
After all, Ellar was more than capable of taking care of himself. They could even hire a caregiver for
him if needed.
However, Nicole simply shook her head and said, “Patricia probably feels guilty because Ellar got
slashed trying to save her. So, we should let her take care of him for now.”
Nicole figured that Patricia’s guilt would resolve once Ellar’s injury had been taken care of. As for the
progression of their relationship, that would depend entirely on how they interact with one another. At
the very least, there would not be a sense of Patricia feeling as if she was indebted to him once he had
fully recovered.
Upon hearing this, Jared did not insist any further.
Instead, he decided to come up with a better solution. “In that case, I’ll arrange for someone to help you
out.”
“It’s okay.” Nicole smiled. “If this continues, all of your people will end up working for me.”
“They’re not mine. They’re ours,” Jared corrected Nicole.
Everything of his could be hers, especially at a time when he was simply trying to help her out.
“No, really, there’s no need for that. Before Patricia, I used to handle everything myself. It’s just that
Patricia does it so well that I’ve become a little lazy.” Nicole shook her head, insisting on doing
everything on her own.
If anything, she should work harder during times like this. As Patricia had duties she was obligated to
fulfill, Nicole should not depend on her anymore.
With that out of the way, Jared smiled and pulled her closer to him.
After a while, the two of them returned home.
“Daddy, Mommy!” Nolan and Lana shouted, The twins had already returned, and upon seeing their
parents, they ran up to them.
