My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2902

"Stay down and don't move around," Nicole sternly said, stopping Charlie before he could get up..

Dismayed by the fact that Charlie was trying to move around, Patricia reprimanded, "Don't simply move

around. Have you forgotten the stab wound in your abdomen?"

Nicole and Jared could not blame him, however. If he had torn the stitch in his wound and ruptured the

incision, it would just cause them to break out in a panic over his condition.

"I'm fine, it's just..." Charlie paused and hesitated after noticing Ellar was there too.

"You're going to ask us about Damien and Scorpio, aren't you?" Nicole said, having called Charlie's

intentions right from the start.

Knowing that he need not conceal the details of this subject from Ellar anymore, he raised his head and

replied, "Yes. Has everything been settled?"

"Max has settled it. Just take care of yourself now. Don't worry about anything," Nicole said.

At present, Charlie's recovery was priority number one.

"Understood," Charlie nodded, before sighing in relief.

Even though they had gotten into a few accidents while they were out on their mission, the ultimate

results of the operation were not undesirable at all.

"Just stop worrying about this, alright? Someone will take care of it," Patricia complained, rolling her

eyes at him.

Charlie smirked, knowing that there was nothing left for him to deal with.

"Right. If there's nothing else, you should return to your ward and get some rest," Ellar advised Patricia,

feeling a stabbing pain in his heart as he eyed her from a few feet away.

In turn, Patricia shook her head. "You don't have to worry about me. Don't you have to go to work?"

"I'll be staying here for a few days. I'll leave once you have recovered," Ellar said, not forgetting to

shoot Charlie a bitter glance.

Ellar knew that he would eventually have to leave. However, his concern for Patricia took precedence,

and he would do everything in his power to ensure she was fine before he left.

Sensing the unusualness in Ellar's behavior and tone of voice, Charlie began to wonder if he and

Patricia had gotten into a row last night. However, he could not help but appreciate Ellar’s

thoughtfulness; even after a quarrel, Ellar had chosen to stick around, not leaving her unattended for

even a minute.

"Please get some rest. I can handle myself, and there are nurses here if I need them," Charlie advised

Patricia in concern.

For once, he had decided to side with Ellar.

"But..." Patricia was about to insist, but Charlie stopped her there and then.

"No."

"Let's go," Ellar pulled Patricia away. "You being here will only get in the way of his recovery.”

Patricia went on to shoot Ellar a resentful look. 'No, it’s you who are getting in the way. Oh, how I wish I

could throw you out today.'

"Yeah, get some rest," Nicole piled in.

Helpless with nobody on her side, Patricia could only leave the ward with Ellar, albeit begrudgingly.

After the two were gone, Nicole turned to Charlie. "You and Patricia will be on break. Someone else will

cover you while you're here."

"Okay," Charlie nodded in agreement, understanding that this was most likely an order from Jared.

Jared then glanced over at him and said, "You may come back once you're discharged."

Nodding vigorously, Charlie replied, "I will recover as soon as possible." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

After staying for a few minutes, Nicole and Jared finally left the hospital.

Once they were in the car, Nicole plonked herself onto the seat and sighed. "Judging from Charlie's

condition, his injuries do seem rather severe."

It was almost as if he was hanging onto his life by a thread. Even though the dagger had not pierced

any of his vital organs, he would still have succumbed to his injuries had they been a few minutes late

in bringing him into the hospital.

Jared's eyes darkened as he looked at Max. "Get someone to keep an eye on the hospital."

"Are you worried that Scorpio would try to hunt Charlie down?" Max guessed, his expression solemn

and intense.

Scorpio had been released according to plan about an hour ago. Zane had arranged for someone to

"rescue" Scorpio, gaining his trust and successfully infiltrating his circle.
