Chapter 3006
Cindy handed Ellar a cup of tea. "Warm up first," she said.
"Thanks," Ellar replied, taking a seat on the sofa.
Martin emerged from the lab and noticed the group. "I thought you wouldn't come because of the rain,"
he remarked.
"How could we not come when it was planned?" Ellar responded as a matter of course.
Turning to Nicole, Martin asked, "How are things on your end?"
Nicole handed Martin the revised data she had worked on." Take a look at this," she suggested.
"Okay," Martin agreed, sitting down to review it.
Nicole waited, then turned to Ellar. "How do you feel now?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllar rolled up his sleeve, revealing his scar to Nicole. "I feel it's effective; we can continue," he said.
He thought they needed to hurry; his wound was healing, and he wondered how that might help with
Patricia's treatment.
"Let's wait and see," Nicole said, turning her gaze away.
Ellar's wound was healing slowly, probably due to recent medication and the influence of the toxin.
Nicole had changed the medication dosage and modified two ingredients in the prescription, making it
necessary for Martin to conduct a pharmacological test before reaching a final decision.
Seth entered suddenly, stopping in his tracks upon seeing Nicole. "Dr. Wyance, urn... Mrs. Johnston,
you're here?!"
Nicole frowned slightly. "What brings you here?"
Noticing Seth's worried expression, she thought about Patricia. Seth hesitated before saying, "Patricia
left in the morning and hasn't come back. We can't reach her by phone, so they sent me to check.”
"Patricia was here this morning?" Nicole asked Martin. It clicked for her - Patricia must have learned
about Ellar's drug trial during her visit.
Martin seemed puzzled, "When did this happen? I had no idea."
He hadn't seen Patricia and was clueless about her visit.
"Yeah, Patricia was helping Charlie with something and mentioned she'd swing by to pick up some
medicine on the way," Seth explained, then paused. "Are you sure Patricia didn't come here?"
"She must've been here," Nicole responded, her expression turning more serious as she glanced out
the window.
The rain was pouring down, and Nicole wondered where Patricia could have gone without coming back
home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do you know where Patricia went?" Seth asked anxiously." Charlie is really worried about her."
Ellar, who was about to speak, suddenly stopped and swiftly left the room.
Nicole watched him go and sighed softly, "I don't know either. Let's go out and look for her."
She suspected Ellar had gone to find Patricia, who hadn't returned home for so long, and wondered
where else Patricia could be.
"Are you saying she ran away from home?" Martin asked Nicole, his expression serious.
Nicole nodded, "She came to see me at noon..."
She briefly mentioned Patricia's visit to the office and sighed, "I didn't expect her not to come back
home."
If she had known, she wouldn't have let Patricia leave.
"So she did come here,” Cindy pondered. "At that time... could she have overheard our conversation
and found out about Ellar testing the drug?"
"That's a possibility," Martin agreed, considering it the most likely explanation at this point.
