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.
