Charlie then gave Patricia a quick look and hurried out of the hospital.

"Ms. Riddle, it was all a blur. A guy pretending to be a waiter started a fight, and then a bunch of people barged in. That’s when Ellar got hurt," Patricia said in a somber and heavy voice, her gaze fixed on the emergency room door.

Patricia remembered being irritated that Ellar had tagged along when he had agreed that he would not. The next thing she knew, he had jumped into the fray. She was busy trying to shield Lulu and in the process, overlooked the other assailants who were sneaking up on her. But by the time she had gotten a firm grasp of the situation, she saw that Ellar's arm had already been slashed. That was when she and Charlie quickly neutralized their assailants and rushed Ellar to the hospital.

Ellar's wound was bad but not crippling.

Still, Patricia could not shake the feeling of guilt as she thought, "If I'd been more alert, Ellar wouldn't have ended up with a gash in his arm."

Nicole saw the look of guilt on Patricia's face and tried to reassure her, "Don’t worry too much about it. The fault is on nobody."

After all, it had all happened so fast, and Ellar had gotten hurt trying to protect Patricia. Nobody could be blamed for

that apart from their assailants, and Nicole was sure Ellar would rather be the one to take the hit than to allow Patricia to be the one in his place.

While they were talking, the door to the emergency room opened, and the doctor stepped out.

Seeing this, they quickly went up to him. "Doctor, how is he doing?"

"He didn't break any bones, but the cut is pretty deep. He's going to need to be careful for a bit," the doctor explained.

After sharing a few more instructions with the trio, he ordered the nurse, "Take the patient to his room now, please.

"Will do," the nurse answered and left to prepare the room for Ellar.

As Ellar was wheeled out on a stretcher, Patricia saw the rivulets of blood seeping through the bandage on his arm. The very sight of that deep gash caused her to bite her lip in anxiety.
