Chapter 2901
Patricia frowned, having a hunch that Ellar was not being truthful about what he had really said moments ago.
However, she did not push it as she did not want to talk about it.
"Go home now, will you!? I'm going to sleep. The doctor told me I needed my rest," she said in a bid to shoo him away.
"Oh yes. You shall rest. I'll just be here to accompany you. If anything happens, I'll take care of you," Ellar said.
He then sat down, hinting at Patricia to go to sleep while he watched her.
Patricia's lips began to twitch in irritation. There was no way she could fall asleep with him here watching her like a prison warden. Patricia figured that Ellar must have stuck around on purpose, as she really did not need anyone to look after her while she was sleeping.
Meanwhile, Ellar continued sitting by the bedside, frowning as he noticed that Patricia was still awake. "You said you needed rest, but why aren't you sleeping?"
Those words made Patricia fume. 'Don't play dumb, Captain Obvious. Gosh, the balls on him to ask me why I'm awake.'
Patricia then glared at Ellar and sneered. "I'll fall asleep once you're out of here."
"I said I'm going to stay here with you. Don't worry. You can sleep in peace," Ellar insisted with no intention of leaving.
Gritting her teeth in annoyance, Patricia closed her eyes. She did not want to look at Ellar, as the very sight of his face would only make her mad the more she looked at it.
Thinking Patricia had finally drifted off, Ellar smiled and tucked her in.
Patricia was still moody, and not wanting to dignify his actions with a reaction of any sort, she maintained her silence, pretending as if she had fallen asleep. By then, she was already feeling worn out. Being injured and in constant worry for Charlie had taken a toll on her, so she soon fell asleep.
Listening to her gentle breathing, Ellar sighed and continued to sit watch over her sleeping figure.
"I don't even know what you were thinking about. You're injured, yet you still insisted on taking care of another patient? Is he really that important to you?" Ellar murmured with bitterness.
Although Ellar felt hurt, he was still determined to stick around, as he felt that Patricia needed him. He could not leave her here alone, not until he was certain she was fine.
