Chapter 2939


    Er realized, ‘That exins it. Since the hospital incident, she’s been out of sight. She’s been hiding


    because of her injury.’ Patricia stayed silent, deliberately avoiding Eliar’s eyes. Her only wish was to


    vanish from there.


    Lulu, slightly taken aback, questioned, “How did you find us, Er? Were you following us?”


    It seemed impossible for Er to know they were meeting Martin or about Patricia’s injury unless he


    had followed them. Lulu understood how Patricia must be feeling – no matter how bravely she faced


    her scars, she wouldn’t want Er to see them.


    Er, caught off guard, admitted, “I had a feeling you were hiding something from me. I just needed to


    know what it was.”


    He had overheard Nicole mentioning a visit to Martin, a renowned medical professor. Desperate and


    worried, he followed, only to discover Patricia’s injury – the kind any girl would struggle to ept.


    Nicole, seeing Er’s distress, didn’t reprimand him. “Well, now you know,” she said, acknowledging


    that some secrets were hard to keep.

    Patricia had calmed down, her tone firm yet distant as she faced Er. “My issues aren’t your concern


    anymore. Please, leave.”


    Her indifferent tone and the way she distanced herself made it clear there was no longer any


    connection between them.


    Er, heartbroken by Patricia’s state, bit his lip. Nicole’s words echoed in his mind, reminding him to


    stay calm for Patricia’s sake. He couldn’t risk causing her more pain.


    Trying to contain his emotions, Er suggested, “I heard you were going to dinner. I haven’t eaten


    either. Maybe we could go together?”


    But he was determined not to leave Patricia alone in her time of need. He’d stand by her, encouraging


    and supporting her, regardless of the future.


    Patricia, however, declined. “You go ahead, Ms. Riddle. I’ll pass,” she said, her voice strained from the


    effort to remainposed. She feared she couldn’t control her emotions if she joined them for dinner.


    Er, instinctively reaching out to Patricia, offered apromise, “Then I’ll leave, and you stay.”


    With that, Er left, leaving everyone a bit surprised by his sudden departure.


    Nicole noticed a change in Er – he seemed to have been mature a lot suddenly. Indeed, giving


    Patricia space was probably the best way to help her now.


    “We should get going,” Nicole said, not holding Er back. They still needed to thank Martin and Cindy


    for their efforts in helping with the situation. The treatment and nning werergely thanks to them,


    and they would continue to need their support in the future.


    Cindy promptly agreed, and the group headed out, deliberately not discussing Er’s unexpected


    appearance.
