It was Ellar, who had witnessed everything that had happened in the ward.

With his heart crumbling in his chest, he asked himself. ‘Why is Patricia so hard up about taking care of Charlie? Are they just colleagues? Or…?’ A maelstrom of emotions began engulfing Ellar’s heart, but he could not bear to leave. He had gotten wind of Patricia’s injuries, which she had sustained while she was out on her mission, and that was he had come over.

With that, Ellar continued to stay there, waiting for her until she got up to leave the ward Charlie was in.

The moment she stepped out of the ward, her eyes widened in shock. “Why are you here?”

“I heard you got injured, so I’m here to pay you a visit,” Ellar said, trying to maintain his composure.

He did not want to talk to her about what he had just witnessed, no matter how strong and intrusive his impulses were. In fact, he was trying to hold it all in as his heart was withering from within.

Biting her lips, Patricia barked, “I’m fine. You should go home.”

“Don’t say you’re fine, especially when you look like this. Go back to your ward and get some rest,” Ellar insisted, his attitude unusually firm this time around.
