My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2734

Chapter 2734

'I wasn't even using much strength. How did I end up tearing her sleeve?' Ellar wondered.

Patricia's lips twitched, after which she forced herself to say, "It's fine."

Then, she opened the first aid kit and brought the disinfectant and ointment out.

Then, Ellar snapped out of it and went on to aid Patricia with her wounds, being exceedingly gentle with her while he was at it. It was inconvenient for Patricia to do it herself as she only had one good arm, so she resigned herself to Ellar's care. However, she also found his actions hilarious.

Still, she had to bite her tongue and endure it due to Ellar's confession earlier. She did not want to give Ellar any false hope or lead him on, as she believed that they would not interact in the future anymore once this mission was over.

After treating the wound, Ellar advised Patricia, "Be careful when you've gotten home. Don't let the wound get wet, remember to change the bandages, and get plenty of rest."

Patricia listened to his barrage of advice, and after he was done, she defeatedly said, "Thank you for the advice. I can take care of myself."

Having been through much worse over the years, a minor injury like the one she had just sustained did not faze her.

"Wait a minute," Ellar called out to her again when he saw that she was leaving.

Puzzled, Patricia turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Put this on." Ellar handed his coat to Patricia.

After all, her ripped sleeve would just attract too much unwarranted attention.

"Thank you, I'll return it another day," she said.

Patricia did not decline the gesture this time, as wearing Ellar's coat seemed better than walking around with her arms and shoulders exposed.

Then, she left, unaware that wearing Ellar's jacket would lead her to more unwanted scrutiny and conjectures from others.

"You should get some rest before going home," Nicole advised.

Patricia shook her head. "It's alright, Ms. Riddle. I'm really fine. Oh, and there's one more thing, but I'm not certain if it's true."

"What is it?" Nicole frowned upon noticing how serious Patricia had become.

"I don't think those people are from the capital, and their techniques look as though they don't belong to a single school. It feels familiar, but I can't confirm," Patricia explained with uncertainty.

She had carefully observed their moves, but she could not shake the strange, inexplicable feeling that there was more to it.

"So you mean, by investigating their techniques, we might learn about their identity?" Nicole guessed.

Remorsefully, Patricia replied, "That's what I was trying to say, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to discover anything."

She could sense that there was something fishy about the assailants, but as of now, she could not confirm their identities.
