Chapter 2923
After leaving Martin's lab, Patricia felt a mix of emotions.' Ms. Riddle hasn’t given up, so how can I just
give up on myself?' she thought.
During the car ride, Lulu kept comforting Patricia, who gradually started to open up a bit more.
Once they got back to the apartment, Nicole and Lulu watched Patricia go inside before instructing the
driver to leave.
"Nicole, can Patricia really be okay?" Lulu asked, her calm demeanor fading into worry.
In front of Patricia, she had been careful not to show her concern. Patricia was already feeling down,
and Lulu didn’t want to add to her stress.
But now, alone with Nicole, Lulu couldn't hold back her worries anymore.
"We'll figure something out with Martin,” Nicole said with determination in her eyes.
"But even Martin didn't seem sure," Lulu sighed. "In this world, it seems like only two people might be Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
able to save Patricia."
"Two people?" Nicole looked at Lulu, puzzled.
"’Doctor Miracle' and 'Ghost Hand'," Lulu shrugged, referring to their renowned skills. "But they're so
mysterious. Even
Chloe struggled to find them."
"There's only one left then," Nicole muttered to herself.
Lulu, overhearing her, asked, "Why?"
Nicole sighed, shaking her head. She had no certainty, just a hope that she and Martin could find a
solution, and if not, she might have to ask her mentor for help, despite the possibility of getting scolded.
Nicole, touching her nose, admitted, "If Martin and I can't do it, I'll have to ask my mentor for help, no
matter what."
"We can't let Patricia live her life in gloom," Nicole resolved.
"Do you know something?" Lulu asked, sensing Nicole's heavy heart.
Nicole explained the situation to Lulu.
"Really?!" Lulu's eyes widened in surprise, then she nodded, understanding. "No wonder!"
Lulu realized Nicole's medical expertise could be the key. With 'Doctor Miracle' and 'Ghost Hand' so
elusive, Nicole was their best chance, especially since she had been out of reach for five years due to
her memory loss.
Lulu sighed, "Chloe really messed with the wrong person."
But now, there was hope for Patricia's injury.
Returning to Riddle Corporation, Nicole and Lulu went to their respective offices.
Nicole sat down and began pondering potential treatments for Patricia's injury.
Over at his office, Jared was getting an update: the folks they'd nabbed were actually Scorpio's guys,
and they were after Charlie.
"Mr. Johnston, they're likely to think twice before trying anything like this again," Max said, his voice
tight with anger and sympathy for Patricia's injury.
"Let Seth look after Charlie, and have Charlie break the news to Patricia," Jared said seriously.
"Understood," Max responded, aware that Charlie had formally suggested Patricia's retirement and
Jared had agreed. The decision would calm Charlie's concerns.
"How are they holding up?" Jared asked.
"Mrs. Johnston's at Riddle Corp now, but Patricia's condition may be worse than we feared," Max
answered solemnly.
