Chapter 2902


    “Stay down and don’t move around,” Nicole sternly said, stopping Charlie before he could get up..


    Dismayed by the fact that Charlie was trying to move around, Patricia reprimanded, “Don’t simply move


    around. Have you forgotten the stab wound in your abdomen?”


    Nicole and Jared could not me him, however. If he had torn the stitch in his wound and ruptured the


    incision, it would just cause them to break out in a panic over his condition.


    “I’m fine, it’s just…” Charlie paused and hesitated after noticing Er was there too.


    “You’re going to ask us about Damien and Scorpio, aren’t you?” Nicole said, having called Charlie’s


    intentions right from the start.


    Knowing that he need not conceal the details of this subject from Er anymore, he raised his head and


    replied, “Yes. Has everything been settled?”


    “Max has settled it. Just take care of yourself now. Don’t worry about anything,”


    Nicole said.


    At present, Charlie’s recovery was priority number one.


    “Understood,” Charlie nodded, before sighing in relief.


    Even though they had gotten into a few idents while they were out on their mission, the ultimate


    results of the operation were not undesirable at all.


    “Just stop worrying about this, alright? Someone will take care of it,” Patriciained, rolling her


    eyes at him.


    Charlie smirked, knowing that there was nothing left for him to deal with.


    “Right. If there’s nothing else, you should return to your ward and get some rest,” Er advised Patricia,


    feeling a stabbing pain in his heart as he eyed her from a few feet away.

    In turn, Patricia shook her head. “You don’t have to worry about me. Don’t you have to go to work?”


    “I’ll be staying here for a few days. I’ll leave once you have recovered,” Er said, not forgetting to


    shoot Charlie a bitter nce.


    Er knew that he would eventually have to leave. However, his concern for Patricia took precedence,


    and he would do everything in his power to ensure she was fine before he left.


    Sensing the unusualness in Er’s behavior and tone of voice, Charlie began to wonder if he and


    Patricia had gotten into a rowst night. However, he could not help but appreciate Er’s


    thoughtfulness; even after a quarrel, Er had chosen to stick around, not leaving her unattended for


    even a minute.


    “Please get some rest. I can handle myself, and there are nurses here if I need them,” Charlie advised


    Patricia in concern.


    For once, he had decided to side with Er.


    “But…” Patricia was about to insist, but Charlie stopped her there and then.


    “No.”


    “Let’s go,” Er pulled Patricia away. “You being here will only get in the way of his recovery.” Patricia


    went on to shoot Er a resentful look. ‘No, it’s you who are getting in the way. Oh, how I wish I could


    throw you out today.’ “Yeah, get some rest,” Nicole piled in.


    Helpless with nobody on her side, Patricia could only leave the ward with Er, albeit begrudgingly.


    After the two were gone, Nicole turned to Charlie. “You and Patricia will be on break. Someone else will


    cover you while you’re here.”


    “Okay,” Charlie nodded in agreement, understanding that this was most likely an order from Jared.


    Jared then nced over at him and said, “You maye back once you’re discharged.”


    Nodding vigorously, Charlie replied, “I will recover as soon as possible.”


    After staying for a few minutes, Nicole and Jared finally left the hospital.


    Once they were in the car, Nicole plonked herself onto the seat and sighed.


    “Judging from Charlie’s condition, his injuries do seem rather severe.”


    It was almost as if he was hanging onto his life by a thread. Even though the dagger had not pierced


    any of his vital organs, he would still have sumbed to his injuries had they been a few minuteste


    in bringing him into the hospital.


    Jared’s eyes darkened as he looked at Max. “Get someone to keep an eye on the hospital.”


    “Are you worried that Scorpio would try to hunt Charlie down?” Max guessed, his expression solemn


    and intense.


    Scorpio had been released ording to n about an hour ago. Zane had arranged for someone to


    “rescue” Scorpio, gaining his trust and sessfully infiltrating his circle.
