My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3001

Chapter 3001

As the day wound down, Nicole hopped into the car, ready to head home with Jared.

Once the engine revved to life, Max chimed in with a serious tone, "Mr. Johnston, just as you suspected, there seems to be a situation with the Eastern Falcon."

"Hmm," Jared mused, acknowledging that it was the only plausible explanation for now.

"I've got folks keeping watch. If anyone shows up in San Joto, well catch it right away and launch an investigation," Max shared.

Jared instructed, "Contact Zane. Have him send people to assist in the investigation."

"Got it," Max acknowledged.

Nicole sighed, feeling things getting more complicated, doubting if peace would return to San Joto.

"How's Charlie doing?" she asked, hoping that with Max handling so much, Charlie's recovery could help ease the situation.

"He's doing much better. Had a follow-up today. If he keeps improving, he can handle some tasks," Max replied, understanding Nicole's concern.

"That's good," Nicole nodded, then asked again, "And Patricia?"

She hadn't seen Patricia since her return and was curious about how she was doing.

"She's also doing well. Plus, Dr. Wyance is working on a new drug. It might not be long before we see results," Max said with hope in his voice.

"A new drug?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, caught off guard. She hadn't heard about any recent breakthroughs from Martin.

"I don't have all the details, but Charlie said Dr. Wyance's new research could help Patricia," Max said.

"How are you feeling? Need a break?” Martin's voice came through.

"It's okay," Ellar replied, his voice strained, clearly enduring some pain.

Nicole's eyebrows furrowed even more deeply, realizing her suspicions were right - Ellar was testing a poison.

Before, she had overlooked the signs of poisoning in Ellar's symptoms, not giving it much thought.

Nicole stepped forward, opened the door, and her expression turned grave.

Inside, Ellar weakly leaned on a chair, his face pale, sweat on his forehead. The pain he was enduring was clear, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

"What do you think you are doing?" Nicole's voice carried a hint of anger.
