Chapter 2899
Max paused for a moment before hazarding a guess. "By that, you mean they might continue contacting
Lawrence?"
"Even if they are not doing so, we must still keep an eye on Lawrence," Nicole said, though her attention was more
focused on the Water Crest itself rather than Lawrence.
"Yes, I will." Max nodded in acknowledgment.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, dusk arrived. The good news of the day had finally arrived too: Charlie had
finally regained his consciousness in the hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLulu proceeded to call Patricia, who rushed over and knelt before Charlie, her eyes wet with tears. "You shouldn't
have saved me! What should I do if something happens to you?”
"Oh you silly girl," Charlie forced a smile, not regretting what he had done, for he was ready to give his life to
ensure her safety.
"Erm, l-l'll go buy you guys dinner," Lulu informed and left the room in a hurry, as she could not stomach the
awkwardness there.
Once outside, Lulu began to frown in confusion. She could not shake the thought that the both of them shared a
rather unusual dynamic in their relationship. The two of them seemed visibly concerned about each other, yet
there was nothing to indicate that they were in a romantic relationship of any sort. However, having the courage to
sacrifice oneself for another person was not something any ordinary friend could do.
"Could Ellar have fallen in love with the wrong person?" Lulu muttered, thinking that Charlie and Patricia could very
well be a pair of lovers.
"What are you thinking about?" Nicole's voice blared out, causing Lulu to jump in bewilderment.
"Why are you here?" she asked Nicole.
"I'm here to pick you up," Nicole said, gently grabbing Lulu by the arm.
In response, Lulu glanced over at the direction of Charlie's ward and said, "I'll get them dinner first before I leave."
"I'll walk with you," Nicole said, following Lulu out to buy Charlie and Patricia some dinner.
Back in the ward, Charlie was frowning as he spotted the bandage Patricia had wrapped around her arm. "You're
injured too. Why aren't you getting some much needed rest?"
"I did. Lulu called me up once you were awake," Patricia explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter issuing a long sigh, Charlie said, "I don't need you here. Off you go. Get some proper rest, please."
"I'm fine." Patricia shook her head in refusal, feeling that her injuries were nothing compared to Charlie’s.
Unable to persuade Patricia to leave him there, Charlie insisted, "Okay. But you must return to your ward once
you're done eating dinner."
"Yeah, yeah," Patricia replied, brushing him off.
Charlie rolled his eyes, and in a bid to ensure he had gotten his point across, he warned, "Well, you better leave
later."
While Patricia seemed to have agreed to his request, she seemed to have done so half-heartedly. And with Patricia
remaining silent, Charlie knew what his gut feelings had told him was right: Patricia had no intention of leaving.
"Don't worry about me. This is nothing," Charlie said, knowing he was going to get better in a few days.
