Chapter 2920
Patricia agreed, stepping back. ’You should get some rest too."
Charlie hesitated before asking with concern, "Your injury seem serious."
"It's nothing," Patricia downplayed, avoiding Charlie's gaze as she turned to leave.
"Will the captain be alright?" Seth asked Charlie, worried.
"Let's give her some room," Charlie said, getting up slowly, his eyes showing his worry. He could tell the cut on
Patricia's face was worse than she was letting on. Even with years of training under her belt, he understood that a scar on her face could still be a big deal to her.
'Will she get through this?' he wondered, deeply concerned for Patricia. 'I should have asked her to leave this dangerous life a long time ago.'
Charlie sighed, thinking it might be time to discuss this with Max, and hoped Jared and Nicole would agree.
Meanwhile, Patricia returned to her apartment.
The moment she closed her door, all her pretenses collapsed. She didn't bother turning on the lights, just sat on the couch in the dark, feeling completely drained.
She sat there silently until daylight broke.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone was at her door. After a moment, Patricia slowly turned her head toward it.
Watching Patricia go to the kitchen. Lulu whispered to Nicole, "Is there really no hope? What about Martin?"
"Let's take her to see Martin later," Nicole suggested after a moment's hesitation.
"Right, we can't just give up," Lulu nodded firmly.
Patricia returned, and Lulu noticed her dark circles. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"
Caught off guard, Patricia glanced down at her clothes and nodded. "No, I didn't."
She couldn’t remember how the night had passed so quickly.
"You didn't eat either, did you?" Lulu said, urging her to take care of herself. "You can't go on like this. You need rest." "Have something to eat, and then come with us," Nicole said, her eyes showing concern.
