Chapter 3021
Everett thought to himself that he inevitably had to return to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged
to him. Giving up was not an option.
"Mr. Wright, here are the documents you requested," his assistant said as he entered, handing Everett
a folder.
"Thanks," Everett replied, dismissing the assistant with a nod, "You can leave now."
"Yes, sir," the assistant complied and left the room.
Everett browsed through the documents and let out a cold smirk. "Impressive."
During his absence, the Riddle Corporation had flourished even more.
Unfortunately for Nicole, Everett's return meant her smooth sailing was about to face rough waters.
And those two Crests, he was determined to acquire them at all costs.
As the sun set, signaling the end of the day, Nicole and Lulu left the company.

"Martin said there's been progress, but I wonder how far they've got?" Lulu asked Nicole, "Do you think
they might have succeeded already?"
"We won't know until we try," Nicole replied, though she secretly hoped for success.
Upon arriving at the lab, they found Patricia and Ell ar had already arrived.
Looking at the group, Martin said gravely, "Although we've made progress, I still can't guarantee the
final outcome."
"It's okay, whatever the result, I'm ready to accept it," Patricia said earnestly, determined to try it herself
instead of letting Ellar take her place.
"Cindy, please bring the medicine," Martin instructed Cindy.
"Alright," Cindy agreed and returned with the medication.
"This medicine has been reformulated according to your suggestions," Martin explained to Nicole, then
turned to Patricia, "We'll apply it now. Please let me know immediately if you feel any discomfort."
"Understood," Patricia nodded.
"Let's begin," Martin said as he started applying the medicine to Patricia.
Everyone watched Patricia anxiously, hoping the medicine would be effective while fearing potential
side effects.
Especially Ellar, who watched Patricia intently, not missing any slight change in her expression,
concerned about her slightest discomfort.
The medicine felt cool and slightly stinging upon application, but Patricia, though frowning slightly, did
not express pain.
Even this small reaction didn't escape Ellar's notice.
"Does it hurt?" Ellar asked Patricia, concern in his voice.
"No," Patricia shook her head, able to endure the pain.

Ellar wiped the sweat from Patricia's forehead with a tissue. "I know it hurts."
Patricia bit her lip, her gaze flickering away, unable to meet Ellar's eyes.
She knew the current formulation of the medicine was adjusted, so it didn't bring the pain Ellar had
experienced.
But she also knew that she didn't have to endure that pain because Ellar had suffered it for her.
"Ellar, sit down," Nicole said, glancing at Ellar.
"Okay," Ellar replied, pulling up a chair to sit beside Patricia.
Lulu couldn't help but shake her head with a half-smile. "He's worried now, but when he did it himself,
he acted as if nothing mattered."
"It's different," Ellar muttered, slightly uneasy.
He did everything for her, so of course, nothing else mattered.
"Alright," Martin announced, having applied the medicine," How do you feel now?"
