Patricia's voice was subdued as she slightly bit her lip, recalling the harrowing events.

"We had already arranged for Ellar and Mrs. Riddle to escape first. But after sending Mrs. Riddle off, Ellar returned to the parking lot. Even though he isn't skilled in combat, he didn't hold US back..." Patricia paused, the memory of Ellar's selfless bravery warming her heart.

Staying would have meant Charlie splitting his focus to protect them, which wouldn't have been advantageous. Hence, she decided to take Ellar and leave first, hoping this would allow Charlie to concentrate on dealing with Everett.
