Chapter 2788

"Let's head inside," Patricia said, not giving away much about Charlie.

She had not brought Charlie here to drink, and she was not here for that either.

As the group went in, Lulu hung back and looked across the street.

She could not spot Ellar's car, which made her worry. 'Will Ellar show up? Can he even find this place?'

"Lulu, hurry up!" June called out.

"I'm on my way," Lulu replied and headed inside, completely oblivious to the van that had just pulled up at the curb.

As the night progressed, Nicole and Jared were getting ready for bed when the phone suddenly rang. Such an unexpected call during such a late hour made Nicole frown as she picked it up.

"Ms. Riddle? Ellar has been injured." Patricia's voice came through, sounding grave.

"What's going on?" Nicole asked, her voice low and her gaze sharp.

"We were attacked at the bar. Ellar got hurt while he was trying to protect me." Patricia explained, her voice filled with worry and guilt.

Upon hearing that, Nicole tensed up. "Where is he now?"

"At the hospital," Patricia replied.

"I'm heading over now."

After Nicole had hung up, she scrambled, preparing to rush out of the house. Jared, who had overheard the conversation, also got up.

"I'll go with you," he said, quickly getting dressed.

Then, he gently took Nicole's hand, and they hurried off together.

"Don't be too worried. It might not be as bad as it seems," Jared explained in the car, attempting to calm her nerves.
