Chapter 2940
After getting into the car, Patricia leaned back in her seat and stared out the window, her expression
lonely and lost in thought.
Lulu nudged Nicole and nodded toward Patricia, asking softly, "Is she okay?"
"She'll sort herself out," Nicole replied. Whether something was wrong or not wasn't always obvious,
but ultimately, it was up to Patricia to confront it.
As the cars started and headed toward the restaurant, Nicole frowned and glanced in the rearview
mirror, noticing Ellar's car following them. 'He's really devoted,' she thought, a bit of resignation in her
tone.
At the restaurant, the group entered to have dinner. Ellar, showing some restraint, didn't make an
appearance.
Waiting outside the restaurant, Ellar looked in, his heart aching for Patricia. Although she didn't
deliberately hide her injury, the conspicuous bandage on her face drew sympathetic glances from
others.
Patricia remained composed, but Ellar could still tell she was deliberately keeping her head down, likely
self- conscious about the stares.
'I need to talk to Martin to understand Patricia's condition and the treatment options,' Ellar thought,
determined to find out more.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere among the diners quickly warmed up. They deliberately avoided
mentioning Ellar and Patricia's injury. Lulu shared some amusing stories, helping shift everyone's
focus.
Patricia was touched by their efforts to care for her feelings. Despite her mixed emotions, she knew she Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
had to stay optimistic, surrounded by so many who cared and looked after her.
After dinner, the group left the restaurant and went their separate ways. Nicole noticed Ellar's car didn't
follow them anymore; instead, it trailed Martin's car. 'He must be going to ask Martin,' she realized.
When Nicole dropped Patricia off at her apartment, she reminded her, "He knows now. You don't have
to block his calls anymore."
Patricia paused, then nodded slightly before heading into the building.
Nicole understood that if Patricia hadn't been blocking Ellar, he wouldn't have lost contact with her and
wouldn't have been pushed to inquire about her.
As they drove off, Lulu, perplexed, asked Nicole, "Why can’t they be together when they obviously care
so much about each other?"
"Patricia has her concerns," Nicole said, feeling a bit sympathetic toward them.
Lulu argued, "Ellar seems decent and clearly loves her deeply. He was worried about her today and
didn't react negatively to her injury. Someone less caring would have just walked away."
"Let them work it out themselves," Nicole sighed.
Lulu agreed, acknowledging that it wasn't their place to interfere. Such matters of the heart were for
Patricia and Ellar to resolve.
The car slowly left the area, and Patricia returned to her empty apartment, feeling a sense of
emptiness. Images of Ellar and his sudden appearance at Martin's lab kept replaying in her mind.
