GoodReadChapter 3207 Ellar felt that if Everett was going to arrest someone, it couldn't possibly be that many people, right? "There's no one." Nicole shook her head, finding the situation truly bizarre.
"Could it be that Emery is right?" Ellar felt there was still hope. In truth, he also didn't want anything bad to happen to Charlie; after all, Patricia would be devastated. So, he preferred to think positively, not daring to contemplate the worst.
Nicole frowned slightly. Emery's speculation made ssense, but since it couldn't be confirmed, they remained somewhat anxious.
"Should we wait a bit longer?" Ellar suggested tentatively.
Nicole glanced at Ellar and instructed, "You should rest well; we'll handle the rest." "Okay." Ell ar nodded, understanding he couldn't be of much help now, his priority was to recover as soon as possible.

Nicole patted Patricia's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, it'll be alright.” She believed that everyone's analysis was somewhat valid, and Jared had also mentioned that no news might indeed be good news. Moreover, it wasn't just Charlie who was missing, but his team members and even Everett, so perhaps there was a chance for a turnaround.
While they were discussing, Nicole's phone rang. She answered, spoke a few words, and then hung up.
"I need to go to the office; there might be snews." Nicole said, then, taking Jared with her, added, "It's Zane; let's check it out." With the situation here stable, she felt relieved, just "Hl for Ellar and Patricia to recover fully so they could be discharged.
But they had more pressing matters to attend to, namely the situation with Charlie and Everett.
"After she's gone, I'll take care of him; you should head back too," Patricia said to Emery after Nicole left.
Emery’s hesitance was evident, but after Patricia assured him of her capability to manage, he agreed, reminding her, Alright, but remember, you can call US anytif needed." Every member of the family would rush over at a moment's notice.
Patricia nodded in acknowledgment.
After Emery left, Patricia sat beside Ellar's hospital bed, her demeanor reflecting her inner turmoil.
"Nicole and Jared have gone there; if there's any news of Charlie, they'll ensure his safe return," Ellar tried to comfort Patricia.
She looked at him, nodding slightly, her anxiety slightly quelled but still present.
Ellar gently took her hand, reassuring her, "He protected US and got US out; | trust he can protect himself too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPlus, his squad members are with him; they wouldn't let anything happen to him." Understanding her anxiety, Ellar did his best to offer consolation.
As Patricia met Ellar's concerned gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Instinctively, she withdrew her hand, murmuring softly, "I'm fine, you should rest." The moment her hand slipped away, Ell ar looked momentarily startled, a sense of emptiness crossing his heart.
"I'm sorry, | was just concerned about you," he said, his voice tinged with a trace of melancholy.
"I didn't mean..." Patricia started to clarify, noticing the misunderstanding, but stopped midway, finding it awkward to explain.
Feeling unsettled, she quickly excused herself, "I'm going to check on your test results." She then quickly left the room, leaving Ellar with a complex look in his eyes. He pondered her evident concern for him the night before and her protective instincts, yet he was confused about her sudden withdrawal.
Once outside the room, Patricia leaned against the corridor wall, trying to calm her racing heart, her mind drifting into a whirl of thoughts.
