Chapter 3204
Patricia's voice was subdued as she slightly bit her lip, recalling the harrowing events.
"We had already arranged for Ellar and Mrs. Riddle to escape first. But after sending Mrs. Riddle off, Ellar returned to the parking lot. Even though he isn't skilled in combat, he didn't hold US back..." Patricia paused, the memory of Ellar's selfless bravery warming her heart.
She had to admit that if Ellar hadn't returned, she might not have been able to hold on until Charlie arrived with backup.
Nicole nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation even though Patricia hadn't detailed everything explicitly. She could imagine the dire circumstances they must have faced.
"What about Charlie?" Nicole asked, piecing together that Charlie must have arrived in time to assist them, which is why they were able to escape.
"I don't know," Patricia shook her head. "He told Eliar and me to go ahead. Seeing Ellar in bad shape, staying would have only hindered their efforts, so we left."
Staying would have meant Charlie splitting his focus to protect them, which wouldn't have been advantageous. Hence, she decided to take Ellar and leave first, hoping this would allow Charlie to concentrate on dealing with Everett.
"Given your skills, managing to hold off until Charlie's arrival suggests their forces weren't invincible. So why hasn't Charlie returned? Could he have encountered something else?" Nicole speculated.
Patricia pondered. Her complexion turned pale as she thought aloud," Could it be... Aquila has shown up?"
The only one she could think of who might stop Charlie was Aquila.
"It's a possibility we cannot dismiss," Nicole said, her expression growing more serious.
"I need to go check," Patricia said, feeling restless at the mention of Aquila, finding it impossible to stay put.
As Patricia attempted to get up, Nicole firmly held her back, saying, "Going now won't change anything."
