Chapter 2921

Nicole didn't exactly agree with Patricia's approach, but she got where she was coming from.

"I'll whip up some easy pasta for you," Lulu said, already on her way to the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, she returned with a plate of pasta, setting it down in front of Patricia and encouraging her, "Try some, okay?"

Patricia paused for a second before responding, "Thanks." She was aware of everyone's concern for her and didn't want to let them down.

Once she finished eating, Patricia looked up at Nicole. "Ms. Riddle, why do you want me to come with you?"

"We're going to see Martin," Nicole answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Patricia instinctively touched her cheek, understanding Nicole's intention. She knew Nicole wanted to ask Martin if there was any other way to treat her face.

She didn't want to go, not wanting to give herself false hope, but looking at Nicole and Lulu, she found it hard to refuse

and finally agreed, "Okay."

"Let's go, we'll see what can be done, and then you can rest easy," Lulu said confidently, believing Martin could help.

The group quickly left the apartment, heading toward Martin's lab.

"In the car, Patricia spoke softly to Nicole, "I might need a longer rest."

"It's okay, your injury is what matters most," Nicole replied softly, her voice soothing.

Patricia nodded slightly. She felt she might not be able to return to work soon, not just physically, but emotionally too. She needed time to recover.

'Accepting this calmly is easier said than done. Only time can help,' she thought.

Arriving at the lab, Martin looked surprised to see them so early. "You all..." he started, surprised they didn't call ahead.

"We need you to check her injury," Nicole said, getting straight to the point.

Martin's gaze fell on Patricia's cheek, his brow furrowing slightly. He had initially thought Patricia's injury was minor, but seeing Nicole bring her in, he realized it must be severe.

There was a moment of hesitation before Martin said," Come with me."

Cindy, with a tray of water in hand, greeted Nicole and Lulu," Let Martin have a look. You guys can wait here."

Nicole got ready to follow Patricia, visibly worried about her.

"Sure," Lulu said, easily going along, and joined Cindy in the waiting area.

Cindy watched as Nicole followed Martin and Patricia.

Jokingly, Lulu nudged her, "What, can't keep your eyes off Martin for even a minute?"

Cindy gave her a look, then asked, "Is she a doctor or nurse too?" She was curious about why Nicole needed to be in the examination room with Patricia and Martin. "Nah, she's just really concerned about Patricia, I think."

"I see," Cindy said, a little puzzled but didn't press further.

Meanwhile, in the examination room, Martin was carefully checking Patricia's wound before applying a fresh dressing.
