Chapter 2918
Thinking about Ellar's drunken state, Patricia couldn't shake off a feeling of sadness. Yet, she knew there was
nothing she could do but endure.
"Captain, there’s some movement," Glenn alerted her. Patricia, lost in thought, didn’t respond at first.
"Captain?" Glenn raised his voice.
"What is it?" Patricia snapped back to reality.
"There’s some activity outside," he pointed out.

She opened the hospital room door and saw only a nurse passing by with a cart. Relieved, she closed the door and
returned, muttering, "False alarm."
Sitting back down, Patricia bit her lip, annoyed at herself for getting distracted. She tried to force herself to stop
thinking about Ellar, but the more she tried, the clearer his image became in her mind.
"I need a break," Patricia said, feeling increasingly restless. She got up and left the room.
Walking down the corridor, seeing other team members hidden around, helped Patricia regain her composure.
'We have a mission,' she reminded herself. 'We can’t afford
any mistakes. We have to catch whoever comes after us.'
Meanwhile, Max arrived at Jared's office and knocked.
After hearing a response from inside, Max entered and reported, "Mr. Johnston, it's quiet at the hospital. Do you
think they'll make a move tonight?"
"Let Patricia handle it. She knows what to do," Jared replied confidently.
"Yes," Max agreed, then added, "As for the lawyers, it's almost certain that Damien is negotiating with them.
Otherwise, why would he disclose information to them?"
"Negotiating?" Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, pondering what Damien could possibly offer. It was just like Damien to
try and strike a deal, but what could he offer now that he was caught?
Max looked puzzled too. "That's what it seems, but we haven't figured out his angle yet."

him is solid,' Max thought.
"Keep a close eye on them; they might make a move," Jared said firmly.
Since they were so invested, they wouldn't give up easily.
"Understood," Max responded respectfully.
It seemed clear that those people would act, though their exact intentions were still unknown. As soon as they
made a
move, Jared's side would be aware.
The night had deepened.
