Chapter 2920


    Patricia agreed, stepping back. ’You should get some rest too.”


    Charlie hesitated before asking with concern, “Your injury seem serious.”


    “It’s nothing,” Patricia downyed, avoiding Charlie’s gaze as she turned to leave.


    “Will the captain be alright?” Seth asked Charlie, worried.


    “Let’s give her some room,” Charlie said, getting up slowly, his eyes showing his worry. He could tell the


    cut on Patricia’s face was worse than she was letting on. Even with years of training under her belt, he


    understood that a scar on her face could still be a big deal to her.


    ‘Will she get through this?’ he wondered, deeply concerned for Patricia. ‘I should have asked her to


    leave this dangerous life a long time ago.’ Charlie sighed, thinking it might be time to discuss this with


    Max, and hoped Jared and Nicole would agree.


    Meanwhile, Patricia returned to her apartment.


    The moment she closed her door, all her pretenses copsed. She didn’t bother turning on the lights,


    just sat on the couch in the dark, feelingpletely drained.


    She sat there silently until daylight broke.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    Someone was at her door. After a moment, Patricia slowly turned her head toward it.

    Frowning, she finally got up to open the door when the knocking persisted.


    Expecting Seth, Patricia was shocked to see Nicole. “Ms. Riddle, why are you here?!”


    “Surprised? Who did you think wasing?” Nicole asked, her gaze lingering on Patricia’s cheek.


    Nicole could tell from just one look that Patricia’s injury was serious.


    Entering the apartment, Nicole spoke with a heavy tone, “I heard about what happened, so I came to


    check on you.”


    Then Lulu followed, saying, “Don’t stress. We’ll find a solution together.”


    Patricia just shook her head. “I doubt there’s a fix for this. It’s okay, though. Just another scar.”


    “But what did the doctor say?” Lulu asked, her brow furrowing. “Isn’t there anything that can be done?”


    “I’ll make some tea for you guys,” Patricia said, quickly changing the subject.


    Watching Patricia go to the kitchen. Lulu whispered to Nicole, “Is there really no hope? What about


    Martin?”


    “Let’s take her to see Martinter,” Nicole suggested after a moment’s hesitation.


    “Right, we can’t just give up,” Lulu nodded firmly.


    Patricia returned, and Lulu noticed her dark circles. “You didn’t sleepst night, did you?”


    Caught off guard, Patricia nced down at her clothes and nodded. “No, I didn’t.”


    She couldn’t remember how the night had passed so quickly.


    “You didn’t eat either, did you?” Lulu said, urging her to take care of herself.


    “You can’t go on like this. You need rest.” “Have something to eat, and thene with us,” Nicole said,


    her eyes showing concern.
