Chapter 2825

Ellar glanced over at Patricia for a moment, after which he looked at the nurse and replied, "I got it."

"Let's go. I'll send you back." Patricia issued a sigh of relief.

Then, she turned around and began walking away. As for Ellar, he quickly ran after her and joined her with a smile on his face.

He had not expected her to show up, but he was overjoyed to see her, nonetheless. It was as if his pain had become a little more bearable.

Curious, Patricia tilted her head and looked at Ellar. "You're in so much pain, and yet you can still smile."

"Oh. Can I say that I've been pretty happy since you got here?" Ellar replied. "You must have come because you're worried about me, right?"

The fact that she had personally driven over to BayCorp to check on him touched him, and just like that, he was distracted from all that pain he was feeling.

Patricia was left dumbfounded for a moment, whereupon she gritted her teeth and feigned coldness toward him. "No one is worried about you. But since you've sustained the injury for me, I was obligated to check on you."

"Oh." Ellar bowed his head, his eyes downcast. 'So, Patricia isn't here because she's worried about me.'

That was also why she wanted to set clear boundaries with Ellar.

Looking at how sour his face looked as he pouted, Patricia became annoyed. 'This dude is a piece of work. The way he's pouting is funny yet annoying at the same time.'

"Let's head back to the office first." Patricia refocused herself and floored the gas.

With a sigh, Ellar followed her back to his headquarters.

They arrived at BayCorp in short order, and Patricia was about to leave when she noticed how pitiful Ellar looked, much like a puppy which had been abandoned at the side of the street. This amused her, and she forwent the urge to tell him that she wanted to go.

After scanning through the documents on Ellar's desk, Patricia picked them up and said, "The doctor has spoken. You are to get some rest for the time being. Leave this aside for now."

After she had spoken, Patricia brought the documents with her and strode in and out of his office.

Ellar was left blinking as he stared at her silhouette from a few feet away and only came to his senses after about thirty seconds.

'Is she staying?' Ellar asked himself, becoming so excited that he almost screamed.

In a strange twist of events, he had gained something good from this incident after all. As long as Patricia stayed, Ellar

felt that whatever pain he was in was worth putting up with.

The more Ellar thought about it, the happier he became. By the end of it, he could not help but laugh in silence. But then again, Ellar had not expected Patricia to come over to check on him, so he caught himself by surprise again and choked on his own saliva. Then, he began to cough.

Upon noticing how serious his coughing fit was, Patricia glared at him and said, "Don't think about anything else. Just lie down and get some rest, will you?"

Ellar nodded in response. After Patricia had walked out of his office, he recovered from his coughing fit and breathed a deep sigh. Then, he looked out of the window to see what she was doing, and upon getting a good look of it, he grinned and laid himself down on the couch.

Patricia was outside, sifting through Ellar's documents after she had found herself an empty office space. Fortunately, she had studied all the cases, so they were all a walk in the park for her. With Patricia here, Ellar's assistant breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly went back to her desk thereafter.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Lulu had eaten their lunch and were on their way back to their offices.

The moment Nicole received the updates from BayCorp, she smiled.

"Ellar shouldn't be in bad shape, right?" Lulu asked out of concern.

"Don't worry. Patricia will be watching him." Nicole strode into the office, not worried about Ellar at all.

Then, Lulu shrugged. 'That's true. Patricia is already there, so even if anything happens to Ellar, he should be fine.

A busy afternoon ensued, and once the clock had struck six, Lulu came in again. "Time's up. Let's go."

"Alright." Nicole replied, stood up, and followed Lulu out of the building.

After they had left the building, they saw that Jared and Spencer had already arrived.

"I'll go first." Lulu waved toward Spencer.

Then, she turned around to look at Nicole to bid her goodbye for the day.
