"Alright." Seeing the weariness on Nicole's face, Lulu said, "I won't pry further, then. I'll head out too."

"Are you okay?" She asked, her eyes getting red as if she might cry.
"I'm okay, look," Charlie said, trying to cheer her up. "Still in one piece." Patricia was upset. "Okay? Look at you!" "It's good to be alive," Charlie said, smiling and patting her hand. "Why are you here and not resting?" "I cto see you," Patricia said. "Maybe you should transfer to our hospital. We could take care of each other if you were closer." "No need," Charlie said. 'TH be discharged soon anyway." "But | worry about you here alone," Patricia said.
I'm not alone," Charlie explained. "Two other squad members are here, and we have people taking care of US. I'll recover quickly here." Patricia sighed, accepting Charlie's decision. She realized that since Charlie's squad members were also there, transferring him wasn't necessary.

Feeling flustered, Patricia changed the subject. "Charlie, would you like sfruit?" With a sigh, Charlie said earnestly, "Patricia, it's tto face your feelings." Patricia stopped, letting go of the apple in her hand, and her arm dropped.
Biting her lip, she said quietly, "Can we not talk about this right now?" "You'll have to deal with it eventually," Charlie said. "I understand your concerns, but have you thought that by acting this way, you might be burdening me?" "I..." Patricia's face paled, and she struggled to find words.
For years, they had relied on each other like siblings. She worried about Charlie and didn't want him to be in danger, which was why she was hesitant to leave him. But was her protectiveness a burden to him? "I know you care about me, but have you considered what | care about?" Charlie asked, looking at Patricia. "You worry about me, but my only wish is for you to be happy." "I am happy when I'm with you, knowing you're safe," Patricia said firmly.
"No, that's not true happiness," Charlie said firmly. "Your happiness lies in living a normal life with Ellar, having a complete family, and eventually having your own children, not staying within solitude till old age."
