My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2791

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.

Though Patricia had stayed to take care of him on her own volition, he truly hoped that she would just leave and get some sleep back in the comforts of her own home. However, it was evident at this point that Patricia would not listen to him; she would stay and accompany him through the night.

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

What he did not know was that Patricia was not able to sleep. Though she looked like she was already fast asleep on the couch, her mind was in a swirling vortex. All she could think of was the moment when she turned around to see Ellar shielding her from the blow she had failed to anticipate, followed by the image of blood gushing out of his arm after the slash had connected.

That was the moment that had shocked her to the very core. To her, Ellar had always been a vulnerable target in need of protection, much like a helpless, younger brother to Nicole. That was why she had never thought that he would step forward to shield her.

There was also a strange and indescribable feeling stirring within her, but no matter what she did to process her emotions, the confusion only seemed to be mounting.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were already on their way home.

"Mr. Johnston. The incident was likely perpetrated by the Eastern Falcon organization," Max said.

"But have we caught anyone yet?" Jared asked coldly.

"Not yet, but Charlie is already on it." Max hesitated for a moment. "Perhaps the guy we've previously apprehended was just a foot soldier. The other possibility is that they have deployed new members for their latest assault."

If neither was the case, capturing one of their men should have dealt a massive blow to them. Realistically, it would be impossible for them to switch tactics and targets in such a short span of time just because Ellar was found to be well guarded. It would have taken them a fair bit of prep time to have done so.

"That's possible." Nicole's eyes darkened. 'Their analysis makes sense when you put it that way.'
