My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2817

Chapter 2817

In a soft and calm voice, Patricia replied, "Once a scab forms, the wound will become less painful and itchy."

The sight of Ellar giving her a pitiful and pathetic look annoyed her. At this rate, his lies and pretenses were working on nobody. She knew for a fact she was not sold on them herself.

The moment Ellar knew that his excuses and intentions had been exposed for what they were, he smiled. "Perhaps my physique is different from others."

However, this only caused Patricia to roll her eyes harder and reply, "Since you are recovering faster than the rest, you definitely have a better physique than others."

Ellar's eyes were twinkling a mere few seconds ago, but the instant she made that remark, it quickly darkened as if Patricia had told him off.

"Alright. I see that your wounds don't require extra attention anymore. I'll be heading back to the headquarters first," she announced.

And after Patricia had thrown the bandage into the garbage bin, she reminded Ellar, "Don't forget to come back for your check-ups."

"Okay," he weakly replied, knowing that Patricia was determined to leave.

He was reluctant to let her go, and that was why he had purposely told her that his wounds were still in a bad condition just so that he could twist her into staying for a while longer. However, the truth was not something he could hide from her.

Patricia frowned and bit her lips. "I'll get the secretary to remind you of it."

After she had spoken, Patricia turned around and was about to leave when she heard Ellar calling out to her, ’Patricia."

It halted her in her tracks for a moment, after which she took a deep breath and strutted away decisively.

In truth, she knew that Ellar still needed someone to take care of him. However, she could not afford to stay there any longer. She could clearly tell that Ellar was highly dependent on her over the past two days. What she did not want to see was for their relationship to develop, or else they would risk allowing things to spiral out of control.

Upon arriving at the secretary's desk, Patricia advised the secretary on things to take note of. Then, she left the office.

But without realizing it herself, Patricia's gaze drifted off and landed at Ellar's office.

"Is there anything else?" the secretary softly asked when she saw that Patricia had stopped.

"Nothing." Patricia came back to her senses and strode off.
