My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2963

Martin was speechless at Ellar’s calmness. Ellar understood the risks, but he was willing to take the

same chance Martin did when he tested the medicine on himself.

Ellar reasoned, "You guys are here. Nicole told you about the antidote and what to do in an emergency,

so you won't let anything bad happen to me, right?" He hesitated a bit.

"What do you mean?" Martin asked, confused.

"If things get really bad, you'd call Nicole to save me," Ellar said with a reluctant smile. "But I hope it

won't come to that. If Nicole has to step in, we'll have to give up on this."

Martin realized Ellar wanted to keep this from Nicole.

"If we tell Nicole, she'll disagree," Ellar shrugged.

"But if we hide this from Nicole and she finds out, she'll be upset with us," Cindy said, worried about the

responsibility.

Ellar explained, "There are two outcomes: if it works, she won't blame you, just me. She won't stay mad

forever. If it fails, she'll scold me, but not forever. I don't want to do this, but I want to help Patricia."

He knew Nicole would be angry and hurt, but he saw no other way.

"This isn't about being angry. Do you understand the risk?" Martin said, refusing. He couldn't explain it

to Nicole or the Riddle family if something went wrong.

Seeing Martin and Cindy's refusal, Ellar suddenly grabbed a shiny fruit knife from the coffee table and

slashed a deep cut across his arm.

"What are you doing?!" Martin and Cindy exclaimed in horror.

Ellar, holding his wound, calmly asked, "Will you help me now?"

Martin and Cindy exchanged a look and finally agreed, "Fine."

"Let's start," Ellar said, putting down the knife and sitting down for treatment.

After bandaging the wound, Martin instructed Ellar to come here after work every day.

"Thank you," Ellar said, acknowledging Martin's consent before leaving.

As Ellar was about to leave, he paused at the door and turned back to Martin, emphasizing, "Not just

Nicole, don't let Patricia know about this either."

He was worried that if Patricia found out, she might give up on her treatment, which was not what he

wanted.

After Ellar left, Martin let out a sigh. "He really cares about Patricia."

Ellar's actions showed how much he loved her.

Cindy glanced at Martin and said, "It's always like this with unrequited love, right?"

Martin looked uncomfortable, avoiding Cindy's eyes, and quickly left to make some medicine.

Cindy felt upset by his reaction. She knew Martin felt awkward around her. Her words were about both

Martin and herself.

She whispered to herself, 'Seems we can't help but worry about the ones we love, even if they don't

feel the same.'

Alone in his office, Martin felt a pang of loneliness.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Lulu were heading to the Riddle Corporation.

Listening to Nicole's story, Lulu said, “Poor Patricia, she's really going through a lot."
