My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 3205

Chapter 3205

"Ouch!" Ellar suddenly yelped, then looked at Nicole with a mix of annoyance and complained, "Why did you press on my wound?"

"If you're alright, why the scream?" Nicole retorted with a hint of disdain. She thought that both of them needed rest and yet here they were, not taking their injuries seriously and trying to act tough. Ellar, looking a bit dejected, drooped his head and said, "I just wanted to check on Patricia."

"You've seen her, now go back and rest," Nicole instructed firmly, her eyes conveying serious concern.

Realizing Nicole was unbending in her stance, Ellar acquiesced quietly.

"I'll take him back to his room," Emery offered, wheeling Ellar away.

Ellar glanced back, his eyes lingering on Patricia until he was out of the ward and the door closed behind him.

"He really is worried about you," Lulu commented, looking at Patricia.

"Yeah," Patricia nodded, acknowledging the sentiment but also recognizing the importance of prioritizing their health. Now that both were safe, it was crucial they recuperated fully to ensure peace of mind.

"I'll stay with you tonight," Lulu volunteered eagerly, considering Patricia's condition and deciding it would be best if someone was there to assist her.

After her offer, Lulu turned to Spencer. "You can go back, I'll stay here."

"That's good, I'll bring you guys breakfast tomorrow," Spencer agreed.

Seeing it was getting late, Nicole, having made sure Patricia and Lulu were settled, left with Jared.

Spencer gave one last reminder and then followed Nicole and Jared out.

"Patricia, if you need anything, just call me," Lulu reminded her warmly.

"Thank you," Patricia expressed her gratitude, appreciative of Lulu staying to look after her.

"Don't mention it. Who knows, you might officially become Ellar's wife soon, and then we're all family. There's no need for formalities among family," Lulu said with a smile.

Patricia's cheeks flushed with a hint of red as she muttered, "Don't start with that."

"Ah, why be shy? It's clear Ellar would go to great lengths for you," Lulu teased.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I need to rest," Patricia quickly changed the subject, feeling increasingly bashful with Lulu's comments.

"Alright, you rest. I'll be right here with you," Lulu responded, ceasing her teasing and moving to the attendant's bed.

Patricia breathed a sigh of relief, but sleep eluded her. Her mind replayed Ellar's return and his relentless determination to protect her.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were in their car.

Spencer approached them quietly, asking, "There's really no problem, right?"

"We'll handle it," Nicole responded, her expression somewhat grim.

"Alright then, I won't pry further. I'll head back now and come by early tomorrow," Spencer replied.

Nicole nodded in acknowledgment, and Spencer turned to leave.

"What exactly happened to Charlie?" Nicole asked Jared, her voice laden with concern.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Jared comforted her, suggesting that no news might actually be good news in this case.

Nicole bit her lip slightly, her brow furrowing as she said, "Even if Charlie is safe, the lack of news probably means they didn't catch Everett..."

She was somewhat surprised by how elusive Everett had proven to be.

Sensing her concern, Jared took Nicole's hand gently, reassuring her," Everything will become clear once Charlie returns."

"Yeah," Nicole nodded, knowing all they could do now was wait for news.

"Let's rest for a while," Jared suggested, holding Nicole close. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

By the time they arrived back at the Riddle residence, it was nearing midnight.
