My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2824

Chapter 2824

Ellar, however, was pleasantly surprised as he did not expect her to show up. "What are you doing here?"

An angry Patricia glanced over at Ellar and chided, "Did you even bother to take care of yourself?"

"I-" Ellar lowered his head like a kid who had done something wrong. "I forgot about it."

"Forgot about what?" Patricia raised her voice. "Didn't your assistant remind you?"

The notion that he had forgotten about his checkup was ridiculous at best. Even if he had indeed allowed the checkup to slip off his mind, his assistant would not have.

"Come on. Trust me, I'm fine. I'll recover after two days." Ellar replied, acting as though the issue was a trivial one.

However, his head was still bowed as he did not dare to look Patricia in the eye.

"You have wounds on you, and you know that you have a fever. Have you ever considered the possibility that the condition might not be as simple as you think it is, you imbecile?" Patricia yelled, unable to contain herself.

What if the fever is caused by an infection on the wound?' she thought.

"I'm really fine. See." Ellar pulled his sleeves up to show Patricia his wounds. "My wounds are fine. I most probably

caught a cold and got feverish as a result. I'll be fine in two days."

However, Patricia had a different observation. She had noticed that the skin around Ellar's wounds were red and swollen. The very sight of it made her frown even deeper.

Then, Patricia gritted her teeth, and without giving him the option to back out, she stated, "I'm bringing you to the hospital. We're going at this very second."

Ellar gulped. He already had half the mind to decline Patricia, but he swallowed his words before he could even utter them.

Ultimately, he conceded to her demand. "Okay."

Patricia then brought Ellar to the hospital.

As expected, while the doctor was examining Ellar, he frowned. "You had an appointment for a checkup days ago. Why didn't you show up?"

"I've forgotten about it." Ellar glanced over at Patricia as he replied in a low voice.

"But you already had a booking. How could you forget?" the doctor asked in confusion.

Having a clear idea of the situation now, Patricia sighed. 'Is he that stupid?'

If he missed one appointment, he could always make another one after all. As such, it was ludicrous that he had opted not to do so entirely. In addition, there was no rhyme or reason in him following her around. It was clear at this point that he did not have his priorities in order.

After a while, the door to the ward opened and Ellar walked out with freshly treated wounds.

Patricia could not help but roll her eyes at him when she saw how pale he was. "Now, I assume you should know how painful it is?"

She knew that an infection of such sort was even more painful to treat than the wound itself when it was freshly inflicted. He had really dug himself the hole he was in this time.

"I'm fine." Ellar replied through gritted teeth, still attempting to act tough.

He could not allow Patricia to look down on him. For a man like him, a wound like this was nothing, or so he thought.

"God help me." Patricia rolled her eyes again.

Needless to say, she was annoyed, for he had the gall to put on a front even after he had gotten himself into this mess.

"You must rest when you are back home. And please, don’t forget about your next check-up," the nurse reminded Ellar.
