My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2918

Thinking about Ellar's drunken state, Patricia couldn't shake off a feeling of sadness. Yet, she knew

there was nothing she could do but endure.

"Captain, there’s some movement," Glenn alerted her. Patricia, lost in thought, didn’t respond at first.

"Captain?" Glenn raised his voice.

"What is it?" Patricia snapped back to reality.

"There’s some activity outside," he pointed out.

Patricia stood up, her demeanor turning cooler. "I'll check it out."

She opened the hospital room door and saw only a nurse passing by with a cart. Relieved, she closed

the door and returned, muttering, "False alarm."

Sitting back down, Patricia bit her lip, annoyed at herself for getting distracted. She tried to force herself

to stop thinking about Ellar, but the more she tried, the clearer his image became in her mind.

"I need a break," Patricia said, feeling increasingly restless. She got up and left the room.

Walking down the corridor, seeing other team members hidden around, helped Patricia regain her

composure.

'We have a mission,' she reminded herself. 'We can’t afford

any mistakes. We have to catch whoever comes after us.'

Meanwhile, Max arrived at Jared's office and knocked.

After hearing a response from inside, Max entered and reported, "Mr. Johnston, it's quiet at the

hospital. Do you think they'll make a move tonight?"

"Let Patricia handle it. She knows what to do," Jared replied confidently.

"Yes," Max agreed, then added, "As for the lawyers, it's almost certain that Damien is negotiating with

them.

Otherwise, why would he disclose information to them?"

"Negotiating?" Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, pondering what Damien could possibly offer. It was just

like Damien to try and strike a deal, but what could he offer now that he was caught?

Max looked puzzled too. "That's what it seems, but we haven't figured out his angle yet."

'After all, he's been caught. Escape is impossible. What could he possibly do to get out of this? The

evidence against him is solid,' Max thought.

"Keep a close eye on them; they might make a move," Jared said firmly.

Since they were so invested, they wouldn't give up easily.

"Understood," Max responded respectfully.

It seemed clear that those people would act, though their exact intentions were still unknown. As soon

as they made a

move, Jared's side would be aware.

The night had deepened.

People had returned home and were resting.

The hospital had quieted down, with lights off in most wards.

"Captain, there's been no activity all day. Do you think they'll come tonight?" Glenn whispered.

"Whether they come or not, we need to stay alert," Patricia replied calmly.

She knew Scorpio wouldn't back down. If not today, then tomorrow, or the day after. They were bound

to show up.

Glenn didn't speak again, focusing on the sounds outside.

Quiet footsteps echoed in the still corridor, growing closer.

"Captain, could it be them?" Glenn alerted. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Patricia listened intently, her pupils constricting slightly. Her hands clenched into fists, ready for action.

'If it's them, they won't leave here easily,' she thought.

The door slowly opened, revealing figures in the light from the window. Patricia and Glenn held their

breath, trying not to make any noise. They knew one wrong move could scare off the intruders.

A person in black approached the bedside, scanning the room silently. After a brief signal exchange

with a partner, one of them pulled out a dagger, glinting in the dim light.
