My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2919

Chapter 2919

The dagger came down hard, but instead of hitting its target, it stabbed into the bedding.

"Something's off!" shouted one of the intruders, realizing they must have fallen on to a trap.

Lights in the room snapped on in an instant, and both groups were instantly locked in a wild scuffle. Patricia understood they'd taken the bait, and her main aim now was to nab these two intruders.

Patricia hadn't forgotten the last ambush. This time, she made sure the area outside was empty, with only her and Glenn in the room, to avoid alerting the intruders.

"Glenn, let's make this quick!" Patricia shouted, knowing they had to act fast. She was aware that there were likely more people outside waiting to back up the intruders.

"Got it," Glenn replied, intensifying his movements.

Patricia didn't waste anytime either, launching a rapid attack. Soon, she gained the upper hand.

With a powerful kick, Patricia knocked one of the assailants to the ground. The person clutched their chest, struggling to get up but failing.

As Patricia turned to help Glenn, more people burst into the room.

One of them, dagger in hand, lunged at Glenn. Patricia didn't hesitate; she dashed forward, aiming to kick the dagger away. But the attacker anticipated her move, swiping the dagger across her face. Patricia winced in pain but quickly overpowered her opponent and moved on to the next one.

Fortunately, their enemies seemed wary of attracting too much attention, so there weren't many of them. Patricia and Glenn quickly subdued the attackers.

Soon, police sirens wailed as they arrived, arresting the culprits. Glenn was taken away for questioning, while Patricia, injured, stayed behind at the hospital to get treated.

"They came..." Patricia recounted the events to the remaining officer, speaking carefully while the doctor tended to her wound. She winced in pain occasionally, but it didn't stop her from explaining what had happened.

The officer looked at Patricia, his expression complex as he noted down everything she said.

"Just be careful going forward," the doctor advised, but before he could finish, Patricia was already standing up.

"I've told you everything I know. Do I need to go to the station?" she asked the officer.

"No need, but please be available if we have more questions, " the officer replied.

"Sure," Patricia said, then left the hospital.

Once outside, Patricia got into her car. The moment she was alone, her composed demeanor faded.

She touched the bandage on her cheek, her eyes reddening slightly. 'It's my own face, how could I not care? But this is the life I chose, always on the edge,' she thought. 'Today it's just a cut, but next time, it could be my life.'

Biting her lip and taking a deep breath, Patricia forced herself to calm down and drove away from the hospital.

After a while, Patricia returned to her apartment building. Hesitating for a moment outside Charlie's door, she finally knocked.

The door opened, and the person who saw her was shocked. "Captain, your face?"

"It's just a scratch," Patricia said, stepping inside.

She saw Charlie on the couch, his eyes filled with concern." We caught them," Patricia said quietly.

"Good," Charlie replied. "It's a relief they're caught."

He had thought Scorpio might lie low for a few days, but they acted sooner than expected.

"Get some rest. Call me if you need anything," Patricia said, reaching out to help him up.

"I'm fine, and Seth is here too. You should go back," Charlie insisted, appreciating her concern but not wanting to burden her further.
