My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2798

"How much longer are you planning to take care of him?" Charlie frowned and asked unhappily.

"His injury hasn't healed yet," Patricia replied.

She did not wish to discuss something for which the outcome was uncertain, so she changed the subject at once. "What brought you here? Do you need anything?"

Even though Charlie was just passing by, Patricia knew he was not someone with too much free time to waste. If there was not something important, he would likely not even bother to turn up.

"I just came to check on you," Charlie said after glancing at Patricia. "The investigation is ongoing, and there are no concrete results yet."

"Since that's the case, you should carry on with your work. I'll be fine here. Besides, I'm not the one injured, so I don't need anyone to take care of me," Patricia reminded Charlie.

Charlie felt somewhat helpless in the face of her words, but it was true; he did not have a lot of time to spare. The only reason he came here was to tell Patricia that she would not have to stay here if it was not necessary for her to do so.

He was aware of Ellar's feelings toward Patricia, especially after this incident. And now, more than ever, he was even more certain of it. However, he felt that Ellar and Patricia were people from two completely different worlds, and that things between them would not end well if they were to get together without thinking it through.

After giving Patricia one last glance, Charlie drew a deep breath and left.

Patricia bit her lip and sighed thereafter. She understood Charlie's intention, but there were just certain things she could not bring herself to do. Ellar had gotten himself hurt because of her, so she would have to wait for him to recover before she could leave.

Gritting her teeth, Patricia picked the first aid kit up and walked into her temporary office. The documents that had not been handed over to Ellar were on her desk, which meant that she needed to handle them.

Evening approached later that day, and when Nicole was done with her work, she got to the entrance to see that Jared was already waiting for her outside.

After getting into the car, Nicole leaned back against the seat and sighed. "Turns out, not having Patricia around does affect me to some degree."

When Patricia was around, she would take care of a large number of things on Nicole's behalf without having to ask for her opinions or instructions. Now that Patricia had gone over to BayCorp, Nicole had no choice but to handle those little tasks on her own.
