While they were in the hospital room, Ellar helplessly muttered, “Actually, you don’t need to stay. You should go home and get some rest.”

“Just go to sleep if you’ve got nothing else on your mind. I can get my rest anywhere and anytime.” Patricia up to the couch, pulled a blanket over herself, and laid down.

“Let me know if you need anything,” she said as she looked at him.

“Okay.” Ellar sighed in defeat after returning Patricia’s gaze.

He was looking at the couch where Patricia was, shaking his head before laying down as well.

‘Forget it. I’m just going to keep quiet so that she can get some shuteye,’ he thought.
