Chapter 2910
Chapter 2910
Deep down, Ellar was stewing in bitterness and despondency.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Charlie, and said, "You better treat her well. Or else, I swear I won't let
you go."
After Ellar had spoken his last, he spun around and stormed out of the room.
He couldn't figure out what Charlie had that he didn't, and most of all, he couldn't understand why
Patricia wouldn't give him a chance, even when she wasn't dating anyone. But since Patricia had made
up her mind, Ellar knew he couldn't change it. All he could do was respect her decision and quietly
watch over her from a distance. If Charlie ever treated Patricia badly, Ellar was ready to step in and
help her.
"Hey, what did you just say-" Charlie began, but before he could complete his sentence, Patricia had
stopped him.
"It's fine," she said.
Charlie looked at Patricia with his brows raised, and after a moment of contemplation, he widened his
eyes in surprise and asked, "Are you for real?"
Patricia avoided his gaze, after which she firmly replied," This is how it's supposed to be."
Both she and Ellar were fated to be from two different worlds. As such, it would be better for them to
maintain
their distance and keep the spark from igniting a flame they would likely reduce their hearts to ashes.
"Actually, I think you should leave too," Charlie told Patricia as he looked her in the eye.
Charlie was the one who had reminded Patricia to keep a distance from Ellar from the very beginning.
Although he felt that he would not be a match for her, it was not because of his status. In fact, the entire
reason as to why he disapproved of them getting together was that he thought their personalities were
not compatible.
As weeks passed, however, Ellar's persistence and dedication to Patricia had only proved Charlie
wrong. Thus, Charlie would take a step back and allow them to have their way if his sister did indeed
have feelings for Ellar.
Patricia shook her head. "No. I won't leave."
The act of leaving the organization was not without its complexities, for Charlie would still be there,
connoting that his life would always be in danger. Just the mere thought of it was enough to make
Patricia shiver. Therefore, she was determined to remain in the organization with her brother to the very
end.
"Patricia, please..." Charlie began, wanting to persuade Patricia, but before he could, she had already
changed the subject.
"Charlie, it's better for you to focus on your recovery. I will take good care of you," she said.
Knowing that Patricia did not want to continue the conversation, Charlie sighed and kept his peace. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
At the end of the day, one must learn to make difficult decisions on their own. In this case, it was
possible that Patricia did not like Ellar at all. Still, Charlie trusted that Patricia would eventually meet
someone who could make her give up on a life of fighting and live as any person should, in happiness
and in peace.
"Patricia, you can stay. We're leaving now." Nicole looked at Patricia and smiled, having figured that
there was a whirlwind of emotions beneath her calm facade.
"I'll send them off," Patricia told Charlie, after which she followed Jared and Nicole out of the ward.
"Take a breather." Nicole patted Patricia on the shoulder.
Then, she linked arms with Jared and sauntered out of the ward.
Patricia stared at Nicole from the back and began thinking of what she had just said. All of a sudden,
her eyes began welling up with tears. Nicole had seen through her, and she was not as calm as she
appeared to be.
'Why?!' Patricia thought. "This will only end in despair, so I'm not even going to start anything!"
Her life, up until about a month ago, was progressing just as how she had imagined it would, but all of
the hurt and sorrow she was feeling now was incomprehensible to her. After all, she had made the best
decision she could, and it was important for her to live by it so that nobody else would have to get hurt
anymore.
'That's right. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps, things will return to normal soon."
Meanwhile, Ellar had not driven that far away from the hospital when he pulled over at the side of the
road and spaced out, his eyes staring out to the mountains in the distance.
'I just don't understand...why does my heart hurt so much?' he agonized. 'If she can be happy with
someone else, I should be happy for her. But why do I feel sad? She must be in love with Charlie if she
could take care of him so wholeheartedly.'
Ellar could tell that Charlie loved Patricia too, so much so that he was close to sacrificing himself to
save Patricia. Thus, it would be safe to assume that they would be a perfect match if they were indeed
together.
All of a sudden, while Ellar was chest deep in his sea of painful thoughts, he heard a few knocks on his
windshield.
