GoodReadChapter 3223 MW Really, there's no need," Patricia quickly said, shaking her head.
Her health had almost fully recovered, but Eliar was still not in the clear. Since Ellar's injuries were due to her, she felt this was the only thing she could do for him now.
Relying on others to deliver meals would make her feel even more redundant, causing unease in her heart.
"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you; look how worked up you are," Lulu chuckled, thinking, 'She clearly wants to cook for Ellar herself but comes up with all these excuses.' "No, I'm not nervous," Patricia's cheeks flushed, her eyes darting away in a slight panic, avoiding Lulu's gaze.

She quickly turned to Nicole to switch topics, saying, "Ms. Riddle, everything is going smoothly, right?" "It's fine," Nicole replied with a smile.
Taking the chance to set down the thermal container, Patricia looked at Nicole earnestly. ‘Is there anything | can do to help?" "You? Just take good care of Ellar; that's enough," Lulu laughed, seeing through Patricia's attempt to change the subject.
"Lulu," Patricia said with a hint of reproach in her voice.
Patricia burst into laughter, her mood lightening.
"Lulu, stop teasing her. If she runs away, who will | turn to?" Ellar intervened, seeing Patricia getting ribbed, coming to her defense.
"So, you're already protecting your wife," Lulu teased De I'll stop." Nicole watched the playful banter with a soft smile. "We just cto check on you. Seeing you both fine puts US at ease." "Nicole, we're doing well; you don't have to worry," Ellar reassured.
"I can see that," Nicole responded, her smile turning toward Patricia," You've visited Charlie?" Patricia nodded. "Yes, | went to see him. | thought about asking him to transfer here, but he said his squad members are also hospitalized and recovering, so he didn't want to move. Besides, they will be discharged in a couple of days and didn't want the hassle." "That's good, they have each other for support; you don't need to worry about them," Nicole commented.
"Yes," Patricia agreed, nodding.
"Lulu, let's go," Nicole said, turning to Lulu.

After bidding farewell to Ellar and Patricia, Nicole and Lulu left the hospital room.
Patricia watched them until Ellar called her back to the present, "What?" "| said, they're gone. Let's have dinner," Ellar suggested with a smile.
"Okay," Patricia responded, beginning to unpack the thermal container and meal boxes.
The delicious aroma quickly filled the room, with dishes like risotto, side dishes, and cream soup, all prepared by Patricia herself.
"I'm genuinely surprised by your culinary skills. | never knew you could cook this well," Ellar remarked, feeling a sense of happiness deep inside.
He couldn't pinpoint it, but he sensed a change in Patricia after her visit to Charlie. She seemed softer, less distant toward him, perhaps fully at ease now that Charlie was safe.
"Stop smiling atand eat," Patricia chided with a blush, handing the cutlery to Ellar.
"Okay." Ellar took the cutlery and invited Patricia, "You eat too." They sat down together, enjoying their dinner in the quiet comfort of the hospital room, sharing a meal that felt much more than just food; it was a moment of connection and mutual care.
