Chapter 2922

Sighing, Martin and Nicole exchanged a serious glance.

Without speaking, they both understood how serious the cut injury on Patricia’s face.

“It’s not possible, is it?” Patricia asked, already guessing the answer from their silence.

Seeing Patricia’s calm demeanor, Martin decided to be direct. “I can’t completely rule it out, but your case is indeed serious. The cut is deep, and the angle makes it difficult to heal properly.”

Patricia listened, her expression indifferent as if Martin was talking about someone else’s problem.

Martin, surprised by her composure, turned to Nicole. “She’s definitely one of your people.”

Usually, people would be devastated, but Patricia’s calmness was rare. Her situation was too obvious to hide, making even attempts at consolation seem superficial.

Martin asked, “You seem to understand the situation well. Do you want to try my treatment? I can’t guarantee full recovery, but I can try.”

Patricia hesitated. The uncertainty meant there was a high chance of failure, potentially leading to disappointment.

Before Patricia could respond, Nicole stepped in. “We’ll do it your way. She’ll cooperate. And I’ll help you.”

Nicole knew Patricia might choose to give up, but she couldn’t let that happen.

“Ms. Riddle…” Patricia bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She didn’t want to go through the treatment without being sure of success.

Nicole patted her shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t give up. It can’t be worse than now.”

Patricia’s eyes widened slightly. ‘She’s right. It can’t get worse than this.’ Biting her lip, Patricia nodded.

“Okay, I’ll cooperate.”

Regardless of the outcome, she didn’t want to let down Nicole’s efforts.

Nicole smiled, relieved. “Good, it’s decided then.”

After discussing the treatment plan briefly, Nicole and Patricia left Martin’s lab.

“Wow, that was quick,” Lulu said, surprised to see them come out so soon.

Cindy approached, asking, “How did it go?”

“Let’s give it a try,” Martin said solemnly.

Lulu sighed, understanding that even Martin was uncertain.

Cindy offered to see them out, but Nicole declined. “We’ll find our way out. Let’s not disrupt your work.”

As they left, Cindy looked worried. “Is Patricia’s condition that serious?”

Seeing Martin’s concerned expression, Cindy realized Patricia’s wound would indeed leave her a visible scar.

“Yea.” Martin pondered abit before saying, “I need to think about the treatment plan.”

“I’ll help you with that,” Cindy offered, following Martin to his office.

Meanwhile, Nicole comforted Patricia. “We’ll take you home. Rest well, and we’ll figure out a solution.”

Patricia nodded, deciding to face the situation bravely and positively.
