Chapter 2937
Frowning, Ellar said, "Nicole, I've always listened to you since we were kids. I can tell when something's bothering you."
He had always paid close attention to Nicole, understanding her better than anyone else.
At this point, Nicole simply mentioned that Patricia was fine, which to Ellar signaled that Patricia might actually be in trouble. He guessed that something had happened, which was why Patricia had disappeared without a trace.
Nicole sighed and tried to reassure him, "Patricia's okay. She just doesn't want to be seen right now. I have to respect her choice."
"But how can she be okay?" Ellar wondered aloud, confused. "I heard about the hospital incident. Those people were caught, but Patricia vanished right after!"
He hadn't been able to find Patricia since, so he couldn't believe she was really fine.
Nicole gave him a look, "She really is okay."
Ellar felt a lump in his throat and pleaded, "Please, Nicole, just tell me."
His suspicions grew stronger. 'If everything was fine, why she needs to hide? Sure, Patricia might have met someone special, but that doesn't mean we can't stay friends. Why is she dodging me completely, not even responding to my messages?'
Nicole patted Ellar's shoulder, "Go home. Since you and Patricia aren't connected anymore, those who need to worry about her will."
Ellar stopped in his tracks, a new thought striking him.' Could it be that it's not Patricia who's avoiding me, but Charlie who's stopping her from getting in touch?'
After a moment of silence, Ellar stood up, "I understand. I'll go now."
Nicole watched him leave, his dejected figure making her frown, but she said nothing more.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at it and answered," Martin, you have news? Alright, I'll bring her to see you after work."
