Chapter 2920
Patricia agreed, stepping back. ’You should get some rest too."
Charlie hesitated before asking with concern, "Your injury seem serious."
"It's nothing," Patricia downplayed, avoiding Charlie's gaze as she turned to leave.
"Will the captain be alright?" Seth asked Charlie, worried.

Patricia's face was worse than she was letting on. Even with years of training under her belt, he understood that a
scar on her face could still be a big deal to her.
'Will she get through this?' he wondered, deeply concerned for Patricia. 'I should have asked her to leave this

She sat there silently until daylight broke.

Patricia just shook her head. "I doubt there's a fix for this. It's okay, though. Just another scar."
"But what did the doctor say?" Lulu asked, her brow furrowing. "Isn't there anything that can be done?"
