Chapter 2901
Patricia frowned, having a hunch that Ellar was not being truthful about what he had really said moments ago.
However, she did not push it as she did not want to talk about it.
"Go home now, will you!? I'm going to sleep. The doctor told me I needed my rest," she said in a bid to shoo him
away.
"Oh yes. You shall rest. I'll just be here to accompany you. If anything happens, I'll take care of you," Ellar said.
He then sat down, hinting at Patricia to go to sleep while he watched her.
Patricia's lips began to twitch in irritation. There was no way she could fall asleep with him here watching her like a
prison warden. Patricia figured that Ellar must have stuck around on purpose, as she really did not need anyone to
look after her while she was sleeping.

needed rest, but why aren't you sleeping?"
Those words made Patricia fume. 'Don't play dumb, Captain Obvious. Gosh, the balls on him to ask me why I'm
awake.'
Patricia then glared at Ellar and sneered. "I'll fall asleep once you're out of here."
"I said I'm going to stay here with you. Don't worry. You can sleep in peace," Ellar insisted with no intention of
leaving.
Gritting her teeth in annoyance, Patricia closed her eyes. She did not want to look at Ellar, as the very sight of his
face would only make her mad the more she looked at it.
Thinking Patricia had finally drifted off, Ellar smiled and tucked her in.
Patricia was still moody, and not wanting to dignify his actions with a reaction of any sort, she maintained her
silence, pretending as if she had fallen asleep. By then, she was already feeling worn out. Being injured and in
constant worry for Charlie had taken a toll on her, so she soon fell asleep.
Listening to her gentle breathing, Ellar sighed and continued to sit watch over her sleeping figure.
"I don't even know what you were thinking about. You're injured, yet you still insisted on taking care of another
patient? Is he really that important to you?" Ellar murmured with bitterness.
Although Ellar felt hurt, he was still determined to stick around, as he felt that Patricia needed him. He could not
leave her here alone, not until he was certain she was fine.
Upon thinking about the possible relationship between Patricia and Charlie, Ellar lowered his head as a surge of
disappointment washed over him again. He began to wonder if this was why she had been turning him down and
rejecting all of his efforts at courting her. He even began wondering if he had entered her life a little too late. If he
had access to a time machine which would allow him to start over, he would use it, hoping he would be able to

He had never expected his tragic love story to begin with love at first sight. Unfortunately, it had been nothing short
of one-sided, with his love being the unrequited one. As things were, Patricia's heart already belonged to someone
else.
Feeling sad and heartbroken, Ellar continued to watch over Patricia with tears streaming down his face in tiny
rivulets. He simply could not bear the pain of letting Patricia go.
The next day, the sun rose bright and high over the mountains in the distance. After breakfast, Jared and Nicole
went to the hospital.
Patricia's condition was relatively stable. Although her wounds were still fresh, none of her injuries were severe.
Therefore, her complexion had improved significantly over the night.
After inquiring about her health, Nicole turned to Ellar with brows raised in suspicion. "Why are you here so early in
the morning?"
"I came last night and haven't left ever since," Ellar revealed.
