g his discharge.

Nicole then turned to Patricia, and in a voice brimming with concern, she asked, “How are you? Did you rest well?”

“You don’t have to worry about me, Ms. Riddle. I slept well,” she replied and shot Ellar a glance without realizing it.

He was completely silent last night, and had probably done so on purpose to avoid disturbing her.

“As for the investigation, leave it to Charlie and Max. You should just focus on Damien.” Nicole pursed her lips.

She knew that Patricia was still feeling somewhat guilty and remorseful over the events of last night, even though it was not her fault. This was compounded by the fact that Patricia had already detected her enemies earlier on and had arranged her defense plans in anticipation of what was to come.

Unfortunately, the outcome of the encounter was regrettably well beyond her control.

But now that Ellar was fine and there were breakthroughs in their investigation, none of that mattered anymore. Soon, the results would be revealed.

“I understand, Ms. Riddle. Don’t worry,” Patricia said and nodded.

In fact, Patricia had her own set of speculations as well. Following Damien’s lead was the right course of action, and she had an inkling that the person who had agreed to meet Damien would soon surface.

“Alright, that’s settled then,” Nicole said, and glanced at Ellar. “We’ll be leaving now.”

“Yeah, don’t worry. I’m good here.” Ellar nodded.

“Ms. Riddle…” Patricia paused and shot Nicole a hesitant look.

This prompted Nicole to raise an eyebrow. “Do you have something else to say?”

“I…” Patricia hesitated again. “I’ll be heading to the company later. I must take him to his office first.”

Understanding what Patricia’s intentions were, Nicole said,” You’re worried about him, aren’t you? In that case, you can stay at BayCorp. There’s nothing urgent for you to deal with at work, and I can assign your tasks to other people.”

After all, Patricia’s primary responsibility was investigating Damien, so she could work wherever she wanted and it would not make a difference at all.

“Well…” Patricia trailed off, having caught herself by surprise, for the last place she had expected to stay in was BayCorp.

“Thank you, Nicole,” Ellar happily responded.

If that was the case, he would love to have Patricia keeping him company. He did not need her to take care of him, but being able to see her around was a blessing in itself.

“Alright, I’m leaving,” Nicole said, before linking arms with Jared and leaving the ward.

“Goodbye, Nicole and Jared.” Ellar was overjoyed.

As for Patricia, she could only stand there and breathe a mental sigh. ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have suggested it, but his injury…’ After Nicole and Jared had exited the hospital, they got into their car.

“Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Zane just sent us a message. It seems that Everett was broken out and taken away by the members of Eastern Falcon,” Max reported.

“I thought so,” Nicole replied.

The revelation did not surprise her at all. If Everett had indeed left Lawrence’s base, there was only one possible place left for him to go – the headquarters of Eastern Falcon.
