My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2909

Even if the legal team were capable of conducting an investigation of their own, the fact remained that

the lawyer would still be a sham. Thus, the information they could gather would be limited, and there

would be no way for them to discover the lawyer's identity if they did not look hard enough. Naturally,

this would affect their next step.

"Understood." Sean nodded in understanding.

He had to make it clear that anything outside of the legal team's investigation must be left to Jared's

men, as this was all they could do at the moment.

"If that’s the case, let's start working on our part.” Steve suggested once he was certain that everyone

was on the same page.

Steve had broken into cold sweat when he and Sean heard the news. Thus, he wanted to settle the

matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would lose sleep over it.

With the plan in action, Sean looked at Nicole, gave her a nod and left.

"We're leaving now. Don't you ever hide anything from us again. We nearly got a heart attack moments

ago." Steve bade her goodbye and exited the room with Sean in tow.

Once her brothers were gone, Nicole smiled, feeling warm and fuzzy within.

Time flitted, and before they knew it, three days had passed. By then, Patricia's recovery was almost

complete, greenlighting her discharge. It was around eight in the morning when Nicole and Jared came

over and went into Charlie's ward.

With everyone there, the ward seemed to be livelier than it had ever been. In addition, Charlie had

gotten better after a few days of rest too.

"Sir, Ma'am," Charlie greeted them and placed a foot on the ground, wanting to get up.

"Hey, take it slow." Patricia dashed up to him and propped him up.

It was only after Charlie had steadied himself that she let him go.

Jared then took a good look at Charlie and remarked, "You seem better now."

"Yes, I feel a lot better." Charlie replied.

"Take a seat. You don't have to make yourself a stranger to us." Nicole advised.

"Thank you, ma'am." Charlie nodded, and sat down.

After that, Nicole turned her attention to Patricia and asked, "Is your recovery complete?"

"Yes. I'm getting discharged today," Patricia replied.

"That's good." Nicole nodded. "However, I must say this. Even though you've recovered, you should

still take some time off."

Nicole knew that Patricia was still worried about Charlie, so she had decided to extend Patricia's leave

of absence. That way, she could stay in the hospital and take good care of him.

"Thank you, ma'am.” Patricia lowered her head, knowing what Nicole had just done for her.

"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? How's the situation with Scorpio coming along?" Charlie asked, concerned

about the elephant in the room.

"Max is on the case now. We'll talk about this after you're out of the hospital." Jared replied calmly.

Understanding that Jared wanted him to focus on his recovery, he nodded. "Okay."

He was itching to return to the fray against the Eastern Falcon, but he also understood that everyone

was concerned about his wellbeing.

"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Even though I'll be staying here to take care of Charlie, you may still assign

tasks to me should the need arise." Patricia volunteered herself.

She knew what Charlie was worried about, and so, she had opted to participate in the mission. Not only

would she be able to aid Nicole and Jared by doing so; she could fill Charlie in on their progress while

she was at it.

"It's fine if you need to be out there while you're on your mission. I have a team of nurses and

caretakers here,"

Charlie chimed in, as he was completely fine with the idea of Patricia not being here.

Max will make the necessary arrangements. There's no need to rush it." Nicole assured. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Stubborn as had always been, Patricia looked at Charlie and argued, "But I want to help out too."

"It seems to me that you're fine, so I'll make a move now," Ellar announced, as he could not bear to

stick around for another minute longer.

"Alright." Patricia replied, seemingly relieved that he was gone.

Ellar had been at the hospital for the past three days, taking care of Patricia. No matter what she said

to him and no matter how hard she protested, he remained by her side, making her very uncomfortable

with his presence.

It was obvious that Ellar and Patricia would never become an item. Therefore, Patricia did not want to

give him any false hopes. All she wanted was to prevent anyone from getting hurt because of her, and

she would do her damndest to ensure that.
