Chapter 2897
After gaining a complete grasp of the dynamic between the two operatives, Nicole raised her brows and asked, "So
you've decided to let Patricia go because of Charlie?"
Looking at Nicole, Jared said meaningfully, "Charlie was the one who relieved Patricia of her duties, but he didn't do
it because of Ellar."
Nicole bit her lips and tilted her head. "So Charlie doesn't approve of Ellar?"
"That's a possibility,” Jared said, indifferent to the personal lives of others as always.

Looking at the door to the operating theater, Nicole mumbled, "I hope Charlie will get through this."
If Charlie ended up crippled or worse, dead, it would be a double whammy for Patricia. Even after a long wait,
during which Patricia was done treating her wounds, Charlie's rescue was still ongoing.
"Is he not out yet?" Lulu asked, after which she turned to look at Patricia, who was pale and disheveled. "Why don't
you get some rest in the ward first? I'll inform you once there's news of Charlie."
"No, I'll wait here," Patricia firmly refused.
"But you just got your wounds treated. You need to get some rest too," Lulu said in concern.
Lulu had seen Patricia's injuries and found that they were much more serious than they looked.
"Let her stay," Nicole said solemnly, knowing how Patricia must be feeling.
Patricia instinctively turned to Nicole, having figured out that Nicole understood what she was going through.
"Thank you," she whispered.
Patricia figured that Nicole had agreed to her request because the latter had already discovered her relationship
with Charlie. Otherwise, Nicole would have ordered her to enter the ward to get some rest.
"I'll hold on to you." Lulu relented, agreeing that Patricia should stay if that was what she wanted.
Another hour passed, after which the door to the operation theater swung open. At that point, Patricia staggered,
unable to maintain her balance any longer.
As soon as the doctor emerged, they asked, "How's the patient?"

damaged. Though the patient passed out from excessive blood loss, he is not in a critical state. With some proper
rest for a few weeks, he should be able to recover," the doctor explained, and strode off.
Then, a nurse emerged wheeling Charlie out on a gurney. He was still unconscious and pale, but the fact that he
had survived this ordeal was reassuring enough for everyone in the group.
"Patricia, he's fine. He's going to be out cold for a while, but he'll come through. Why don't you take a nap while I
tend to him?" Lulu advised, noticing how weak and shaky Patricia was.
"I'm fine, I'll wait for him to wake up." Patricia shook her head in refusal.
