My Wife is a Hacker

"Charlie, what you wish for is also my wish," Patricia said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Do you want me to stand by and watch you give up on happiness?" Charlie asked gently. "Seeing you happy is what makes me happy."

She was his only sister, his only family, and he only wanted the best for her.

If she hadn't found someone she loved, he wouldn't mind her always being by his side. But now that she had, he didn't want her to miss out.

"Charlie," Patricia said, her voice full of emotion, unsure of what else to say.

Charlie smiled gently. "We chose this life to survive, but that doesn't mean I've grown tired of it. I don't want to give it up." "Is that why you want me to step back and not you?" Patricia asked, surprised.

She had always thought Charlie stayed because he felt obligated, even after Jared agreed to let her leave.

Charlie nodded. "I'm content with my life now, do you understand?" Even with its dangers, he valued it.

Patricia looked at Charlie, realizing his decision to stay wasn't just for her.

"The patient needs to rest. Don't talk for too long," the nurse reminded them.

Patricia nodded. "Okay, I understand." "Go back now. I'm well taken care of here," Charlie said.

"Okay," Patricia agreed.

"Think about what I've said," Charlie urged her.

He felt it was time for Patricia to confront her feelings and start a new chapter in her life.

With a determined nod, Patricia agreed, "I will."

As she left, Charlie smiled slightly, hopeful that Patricia would find her path to happiness.

Walking slowly out of the hospital room, Patricia thought about Charlie's words. He was content with his life, even with its dangers, and he wasn't ready to give it up.

Maybe she had been too worried before. If this was what Charlie wanted, she would support him.

In the evening, Nicole and Jared returned to the Riddle residence. Nicole's phone rang, showing Zane's number. She answered, "Zane." "Doretta contacted US. Lawrence's people helped them..." Zane's voice was serious as he shared the news.

Nicole's expression hardened. "Lawrence." "Yes, they're staying in one of Lawrence's hotels, making it hard to track them," Zane confirmed.

"Did Doretta say anything else?" Nicole asked.

"Aquila had suspicions, but Lawrence's people intervened in time. Doretta warned US to be careful of Aquila," Zane explained. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

■'Got it," Nicole said seriously.

After the call, Nicole sighed. "So it was Lawrence." "Why would he help Everett? Didn't they split up?" Max wondered.

"It could have been a trick," Nicole suggested, a sardonic smile on her lips.
