Just a few days later and sheâs back at it again.
Ellinor gave Patricia a nasty look, her dislike for Patricia had reached a boiling point.
How could she use a situation where her child got hurt to her advantage?
This woman really had no shame!
Although Ellinor didnât like this kidâs mom, she believed the kid was innocent. The poor thing got scalded, he must have been in terrible pain right now and did not understand why he hurt so much She didnât rush to defend herself. Instead, she whipped out her phone and dialed emergency services, giving therm the address. After hanging up, she started talking âThe waiter almost spilled the whole soup pot on your kid. I was just trying to save him. But the waiter ran off because he was afraid of taking the blame However, Patncia looked at her in disbelief, âEllinor, youâre lying! I saw you snatch the soup pot from the waiter and throw it at my son. How dare you blame the waiter?! Youâve gone too farâ
Ellinor really didnât like Patriciaâs attitude, so she coldly reminded her âMs. Howard, maybe you should worry about your son first, heâs crying in pain!â
Patricia looked taken aback and then started weeping even more pitifully, âHeâs my own son, how could I not care about him? Ellinor, you hurt my son and yet youâre playing the saint! Ellinor, I invited you to lunch, how could you treat me like this?! I always thought you were a good person.â
Ellinor ignored her and let her continue her performance.
Not getting a response from Ellinor, Patricia turned to Theo, âTheo, what should we do about our child?
Heâs hurt.â
Theo calmly checked if the child had any other injuries and once he was sure there werenât any, he immediately picked him up and told Patricia, âDonât panic, weâre going to the hospitalâ
Patricia nodded while sobbing. âOkay, weâre going to the hospitalâ
Ellinor blocked Theoâs path, Tve already called an ambulance; it should be here soon; itâll be faster than you taking him to the hospital.â
However, Theo didnât wait; he went around her, holding the child, and left swiftly.
Patricia followed Theo out, and as she passed Ellinor, she had a victorious smile on her face and even scoffed.
Ellinor was fuming, the child was so badly injured, and yet, as his mother, she could still smile?
At that moment, Bartlett came back from taking a call just in time to see Theo carrying the crying child and leaving with Patricia He looked puzzled and asked Ellinor after entering the room, âWhat happened?â
Ellinor said, âTheir kid got scalded by hot soup, itâs pretty serious.â
Bartlett was taken aback, âHow did he suddenly get scalded?â
Ellinor snorted, âTheyâre saying I did it, can you believe it?â
âNo way!â Bartlett replied firmly, then he scanned her up and down nervously. âEllinor, did you get burned?â
Ellinor did get burned when she grabbed the hot soup pot and her palm was a bit sore now But she didnât want to make a big deal out of it, so she shook her head, âNo.â
Bartlett finally relaxed, âGlad youâre okay, letâs go to the hospital to check on the kid!â
Ellinor didnât object and she nodded, âOkay, letâs go!â
She felt sorry for the kid for having been born to such a ruthless mother, his childhood would probably be filled with horrors.
