Chapter 3028


    "Patricia, shall we take you home?" Lulu offered.


    "No need, I can manage on my own." Patricia guessed Nicole didn''t stay for dinner because she had


    other matters, and she didn''t want to dy them.


    Taking a deep breath, Patricia earnestly said to Nicole, "Ms. Riddle, I''ll be fine. I''lle to thepany


    tomorrow." "You could rest a bit longer," Nicole still seemed a bit concerned about Patricia''s health.


    "I''m okay, and I don''t want to stay at home all day." Being alone made her prone to overthinking, so


    Patricia preferred to work.


    Moreover, she had heard about Everett''s situation and felt it was important to be with Nicole to ensure


    her safety.


    Hearing this, Nicole thought for a moment and then agreed, "Alright,e to thepany tomorrow."


    "Yes," Patricia said before hailing a taxi and leaving.


    Watching Patricia leave, Lulu mused, "Something seems off with Patricia''s mood, doesn''t it? And Er''s


    absence is also unusual. Could there be some problem between them?"


    Nicole''s gaze wandered around, her eyes narrowing slightly, before finally settling on a shop across the


    street. Sitting in the window was Er.


    "It seems so," Nicole said meaningfully, pulling Lulu into the car with her.


    Lulu, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Did you notice something?"


    It seemed as if Nicole understood something after her brief observation.


    Nicole smiled as she said, "Er can''t bear not toe. Let''s go, he''lle out once we leave. He


    always has to make sure Patricia gets home before he can rx."


    Lulu, now understanding, couldn''t help but express her confusion, "What exactly is Er doing?"


    Why would he follow Patricia in secret instead of meeting her directly?

    Was it because they had an argument?


    Nicole, with a meaningful tone, guessed, "Maybe it''s just another misunderstanding. Er probably


    thinks he needs to protect Patricia from the shadows."


    Sighing, Lulu said with resignedly, "And here I thought after all they’ve been through, they''d finally see


    the light at the end of the tunnel."


    Nicole smiled. "If they''re truly meant to be, they''ll end up together in the end." "That''s all we can hope


    for," Lulu shrugged, understanding that they couldn''t force two people to be together.


    Meanwhile, Er, watching Nicole and Lulu leave, finally exited the restaurant and drove off to follow


    Patricia.


    He hadn''t expected Nicole''s visit today; he was used to following Patricia directly.


    Arriving at Patricia''s apartment building, Er confirmed that Patricia had made it home safely and let


    out a sigh of relief.


    "Her face must be getting better," Er murmured to himself.


    Seeing Nicole there, he assumed the treatment must be showing results.


    "Soon, she should be able to fully recover and return to her normal life," Er thought, feeling slightly


    happier. As long as she was doing well, he felt at ease.


    Distracted, Er was startled by the sudden honk of a car horn.


    Realizing he had identally pressed the car horn, he looked around guiltily, seeing no one, and then


    drove off.


    Unbeknownst to him, Patricia was watching from her apartment window, feeling a tinge of sadness.


    He hadn''t avoided her; he just hadn''t appeared before her.


    Patricia realized that Er''s departurest time wasn''t just a casual remark; he probably wouldn''t


    appear before her again.
