Chapter 2824
Ellar, however, was pleasantly surprised as he did not expect her to show up. "What are you doing here?"
An angry Patricia glanced over at Ellar and chided, "Did you even bother to take care of yourself?"
"I-" Ellar lowered his head like a kid who had done something wrong. "I forgot about it."
"Forgot about what?" Patricia raised her voice. "Didn't your assistant remind you?"
The notion that he had forgotten about his checkup was ridiculous at best. Even if he had indeed allowed the checkup to slip off his mind, his assistant would not have.
"Come on. Trust me, I'm fine. I'll recover after two days." Ellar replied, acting as though the issue was a trivial one.
However, his head was still bowed as he did not dare to look Patricia in the eye.
"You have wounds on you, and you know that you have a fever. Have you ever considered the possibility that the condition might not be as simple as you think it is, you imbecile?" Patricia yelled, unable to contain herself.
What if the fever is caused by an infection on the wound?' she thought.
"I'm really fine. See." Ellar pulled his sleeves up to show Patricia his wounds. "My wounds are fine. I most probably
caught a cold and got feverish as a result. I'll be fine in two days."
However, Patricia had a different observation. She had noticed that the skin around Ellar's wounds were red and swollen. The very sight of it made her frown even deeper.
Then, Patricia gritted her teeth, and without giving him the option to back out, she stated, "I'm bringing you to the hospital. We're going at this very second."
Ellar gulped. He already had half the mind to decline Patricia, but he swallowed his words before he could even utter them.
Ultimately, he conceded to her demand. "Okay."
Patricia then brought Ellar to the hospital.
As expected, while the doctor was examining Ellar, he frowned. "You had an appointment for a checkup days ago. Why didn't you show up?"
"I've forgotten about it." Ellar glanced over at Patricia as he replied in a low voice.
"But you already had a booking. How could you forget?" the doctor asked in confusion.
