Chapter 3012
"What did the doctor say?" Nicole asked.
Patricia responded, "The doctor said it's fine once the fever subsides. He just needs a good rest after waking up."
Nicole nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat down, inviting Patricia to do the same.
Patricia took the seat.
After glancing at Ellar, Nicole turned to Patricia and said, "I want to talk to you about your injury."
As Nicole looked at Patricia's face, Patricia instinctively covered it with her hand.
Biting her lip hesitantly, Patricia responded, "Ms. Riddle, at first, I had hoped there might be a way to restore my face. I was prepared for the possibility it couldn't be healed, but now..."
Patricia looked toward Ellar, still unconscious on the bed, and said with a pained expression, "I don't want him to do this for me, so I think I want to give up."
"Patricia, there's still a chance of success. Besides, Ellar has already invested so much; it would be a pity to give up now," Nicole reassured her.
She understood Patricia's immense pressure, but felt it would indeed be regrettable to give up at this point.
"If I had known from the start, I wouldn't have let Ellar do this. However, in the past few days, Martin and Ellar have made significant progress. Seeing Ellar's determination, I decided to give it one more try."
"Ms. Riddle, I don't deserve his sacrifices, and it's really... too dangerous," Patricia said, her voice growing softer, revealing her deepest concerns.
Even if Ellar appeared okay at the moment, the continuous drug tests might harm his body in the long run.
"I get your concerns. Rest assured, I won't let any harm come to him," Nicole reassured, then added, "He's family, after all."
"But... I shouldn't let him to do this," Patricia said, chewing her lip, troubled by Ellar's sacrifices that she couldn't repay.
Nicole gently patted Patricia’s hand and comforted her," Don't worry about that right now. What's important is your treatment."
