Patricia sat by her kidâs bedside in the hospital, feeling all jittery inside She wasnât overly worried about the kidâs condition. The docs had already said that the wounds were pretty much stable and wouldnât affect any other aspects. They only suggested a few days of hospitalization because they were worried the family wouldnât be able to take proper care of the wounds, which might lead to infections What really twisted her guts was Theo, who had gone off to have a chat with Ellinor.
Where the hell was Theo?
What on earth was he talking about with Ellinor that took so long?
The kid on the bed unable to express his pain verbally, whimpered even in his sleep due to the bum pain Balfour stood by the bed with a stern face. As the kidâs uncle, how could he not be pissed to see fits nephew in such agony?
In his eyes, Ellinor was nothing but a troublemaker. She always stirred up problems wherever she went!
Now, Ellinor was not only Patriciaâs biggest headache but also a potential threat to the safety of Patricia and the kid.
Maybe from the get-go, he shouldnât have kept her in the company just because of her work skills Balfour had cut her some slack before since she helped them out once, but she kept pushing his buttons by bullying and hurting Patricial For Patriciaâs well-being, he couldnât let Ellinor stick around. He had to get someone to deal with her After some senous thinking, Balfour turned around, made a call, and walked away Not long after Balfour left, Theo walked into the ward.
âTheo, youâre back!â
Patriciaâs face lit up and she got up to walk towards him But she soon noticed something was off Why was Theo back alone? Where was Ellinor?
Patricia took a good look behind him, confirmed that Ellinor wasnât there, and asked, âTheo, whereâs Ellinor? Didnât she admit to hurting Baber?â
Theo looked at her calmly and said, âSheâs goneâ
Patricia was stunned, âGone?â
Bartlett, who was checking his phone in the ward waiting for the girl to come back, also got up and came over to ask, âTheo, where did Ellinor go?â
Theo glanced at him. âNot sure.â
Bartlett frowned but didnât ask more, planning to call Ellinor later to find out.
Patriciaâs eyes welled up with tears, âTheo, how could Ellinor just up and leave like that?! She hurt my child so badly, how could she just walk away like that?â
Theo looked at Patricia, who was on the verge of crying, âWhy are you so sure that Ellinor hurt Baber?â
Patricia was taken aback and looked up at him with a wronged expression, âBecause I saw it!
Theo looked at her skeptically. âAre you sure you really saw it?â
