My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2939

Ellar realized, 'That explains it. Since the hospital incident, she's been out of sight. She's been hiding

because of her injury.'

Patricia stayed silent, deliberately avoiding Eliar's eyes. Her only wish was to vanish from there.

Lulu, slightly taken aback, questioned, "How did you find us, Ellar? Were you following us?"

It seemed impossible for Ellar to know they were meeting Martin or about Patricia's injury unless he

had followed them. Lulu understood how Patricia must be feeling - no matter how bravely she faced her

scars, she wouldn't want Ellar to see them.

Ellar, caught off guard, admitted, "I had a feeling you were hiding something from me. I just needed to

know what it was."

He had overheard Nicole mentioning a visit to Martin, a renowned medical professor. Desperate and

worried, he followed, only to discover Patricia's injury - the kind any girl would struggle to accept.

Nicole, seeing Ellar's distress, didn't reprimand him. "Well, now you know," she said, acknowledging

that some secrets were hard to keep.

Patricia had calmed down, her tone firm yet distant as she faced Ellar. "My issues aren't your concern

anymore. Please, leave."

Her indifferent tone and the way she distanced herself made it clear there was no longer any

connection between them.

Ellar, heartbroken by Patricia's state, bit his lip. Nicole's words echoed in his mind, reminding him to

stay calm for Patricia's sake. He couldn't risk causing her more pain.

Trying to contain his emotions, Ellar suggested, "I heard you were going to dinner. I haven't eaten

either. Maybe we could go together?"

But he was determined not to leave Patricia alone in her time of need. He'd stand by her, encouraging

and supporting her, regardless of the future.

Patricia, however, declined. "You go ahead, Ms. Riddle. I'll pass," she said, her voice strained from the

effort to remain composed. She feared she couldn't control her emotions if she joined them for dinner.

Ellar, instinctively reaching out to Patricia, offered a compromise, "Then I'll leave, and you stay."

With that, Ellar left, leaving everyone a bit surprised by his sudden departure.

Nicole noticed a change in Ellar - he seemed to have been mature a lot suddenly. Indeed, giving

Patricia space was probably the best way to help her now.

"We should get going," Nicole said, not holding Ellar back. They still needed to thank Martin and Cindy

for their efforts

in helping with the situation. The treatment and planning were largely thanks to them, and they would

continue to need their support in the future.

Cindy promptly agreed, and the group headed out, deliberately not discussing Ellar's unexpected

appearance.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
