Chapter 3021


    Everett thought to himself that he inevitably had to return to reim everything that rightfully belonged


    to him. Giving up was not an option.


    "Mr. Wright, here are the documents you requested," his assistant said as he entered, handing Everett


    a folder.


    "Thanks," Everett replied, dismissing the assistant with a nod, "You can leave now."


    "Yes, sir," the assistantplied and left the room.


    Everett browsed through the documents and let out a cold smirk. "Impressive."


    During his absence, the Riddle Corporation had flourished even more.


    Unfortunately for Nicole, Everett''s return meant her smooth sailing was about to face rough waters.


    And those two Crests, he was determined to acquire them at all costs.


    As the sun set, signaling the end of the day, Nicole and Lulu left thepany.


    Waiting for the driver to bring the car around, they got in and headed towards theb.


    "Martin said there''s been progress, but I wonder how far they''ve got?" Lulu asked Nicole, "Do you think


    they might have seeded already?"


    "We won''t know until we try," Nicole replied, though she secretly hoped for sess.


    Upon arriving at theb, they found Patricia and Ell ar had already arrived.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Looking at the group, Martin said gravely, "Although we''ve made progress, I still can''t guarantee the


    final oue."


    "It''s okay, whatever the result, I''m ready to ept it," Patricia said earnestly, determined to try it herself


    instead of letting Er take her ce.


    "Cindy, please bring the medicine," Martin instructed Cindy.


    "Alright," Cindy agreed and returned with the medication.


    "This medicine has been reformted ording to your suggestions," Martin exined to Nicole, then


    turned to Patricia, "We''ll apply it now. Please let me know immediately if you feel any difort."


    "Understood," Patricia nodded.


    "Let''s begin," Martin said as he started applying the medicine to Patricia.


    Everyone watched Patricia anxiously, hoping the medicine would be effective while fearing potential


    side effects.


    Especially Er, who watched Patricia intently, not missing any slight change in her expression,


    concerned about her slightest difort.


    The medicine felt cool and slightly stinging upon application, but Patricia, though frowning slightly, did


    not express pain.


    Even this small reaction didn''t escape Er''s notice.


    "Does it hurt?" Er asked Patricia, concern in his voice.


    "No," Patricia shook her head, able to endure the pain.


    Er wiped the sweat from Patricia''s forehead with a tissue. "I know it hurts."


    Patricia bit her lip, her gaze flickering away, unable to meet Er''s eyes.


    She knew the current formtion of the medicine was adjusted, so it didn''t bring the pain Er had


    experienced.


    But she also knew that she didn''t have to endure that pain because Er had suffered it for her.


    "Er, sit down," Nicole said, ncing at Er.


    "Okay," Er replied, pulling up a chair to sit beside Patricia.


    Lulu couldn''t help but shake her head with a half-smile. "He''s worried now, but when he did it himself,


    he acted as if nothing mattered."


    "It''s different," Er muttered, slightly uneasy.


    He did everything for her, so of course, nothing else mattered.


    "Alright," Martin announced, having applied the medicine," How do you feel now?"
