"How did Nicole find out?" Cindy mused, still rattled by what had just happened.
Even though they didn't mean any harm, there was a lingering sense of guilt for keeping it from Nicole.
Martin shrugged, uncertain. "I don’t know, but even though she's mad, it seems like she's okay with
how things are going. Otherwise, she would've told us to quit."
Ellar replied, "As long as we can keep going, that's fine."
Martin glanced at Ellar. "There's more pain ahead."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid." He was ready to face anything for Patricia's sake.
"Let's take a break and head home. We could all use some rest," Martin suggested, shaking his head
as weariness suddenly hit him.
Cindy teased Martin while observing him, "I bet it's just guilt from seeing Nicole."
Martin stumbled a bit, firing back at Cindy, "And what about you? You even dropped the tray."
Cindy struggled to argue, saying, "I... you..." She then got annoyed and added, "I'm going to rest."
Ellar, realizing it was time to leave, said, "I should go as well. If
Today's events had indeed been shocking for everyone, but fortunately, the outcome wasn't bad.
After tidying up, Martin left the lab.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared made their way to the Riddle residence.Leaning in her seat, Nicole reviewed Ellar's treatment data. She thought, 'I never knew Ellar had the
courage to do this. I should have realized earlier. Luckily, Martin’s experience came in handy,
preventing Ellar from facing serious problems.'
As she examined the recorded data, Nicole noticed that Ellar's symptoms seemed to be improving.
Perhaps sticking with these trials could bring positive results.
Observing Nicole's expression, Jared guessed her thoughts," How confident are you?"
Considering the data, Nicole responded, "Right now, about sixty percent."
After additional analysis and revising the plan with Martin, she believed they could achieve eighty
percent confidence. That would be enough to treat Patricia.
"Don’t worry too much; it will be alright," Jared comforted Nicole.
Nicole nodded in agreement, intending to study the data closely upon returning home, hoping to find a
better way to help Patricia.
After a while, the two arrived home.
Everyone was waiting for them to have dinner. Seeing them enter, Gloria asked with concern, "You said
you'd be late. Did something happen?"
"Just a few small things to handle, but it's all sorted now," Nicole replied.
"That's great. Let's grab some dinner," Daniel suggested, motioning towards the table with a smile.
Noticing that everyone had patiently waited for them, Nicole asked, "You all waited for us?""Yeah, we figured you’d be back soon, so we thought we'd eat together," the family explained as they
made their way to the dining room.
Seated at the table, Stanley inquired, "What kept you?
There's a hint of disinfectant in the air, like you've been to a hospital. Is someone unwell?"
"We just stopped by Martin's lab, nothing serious," Nicole replied, skillfully dodging the specifics.
"Ah, got it," Stanley didn't press, understanding that the scent of disinfectant was typical after a visit to
Martin's.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's eat. We've all had a long day," Gloria suggested, steering away
from further discussion.
"Sure, no more questions," Stanley shrugged and started digging into his meal.
Nicole smiled, opting not to share Ellar's situation with everyone, and began enjoying her dinner.
After the meal, everyone headed to their rooms to rest.novelbin
