Patricia suddenly flung her hand, and the music box tumbled to the floor.
With a loud crash, the music box hit the floor, the two spinning glass bears shattered, and the music stopped.
Only then did Ellinor react. She felt a bit sad as she looked at the broken music box on the floor, so she squatted down to try and pick it up.
Patricia feigned regret at the side, âOh man! Itâs all my fault, I accidentally knocked off the music box.
Such a pity!â
Ellinor ignored her. She picked up the music box from the floor and fiddled with it a bit. It was damaged beyond repair and was now silent forever.
Patricia said again, âEllinor, watch your hands; donât get cut by the shattered glass. Stay here, Iâll go get someone to clean this up.â
With that, she turned around and left, walking out quickly Ellinor didnât pay any attention to Patricia. She just stared blankly at the broken music box. The music from the box seemed to have awakened her familiarity with the room.
After leaving the room, Patricia checked her watch. Her lips curled up into a satisfied smile, and she went downstairs.
She arrived downstairs just as Balfour was entering the house.
Patricia went to greet him, âBalfour, youâre back!â
Balfour took off his suit jacket and handed it to a servant, Whatâs up? Why did you rush me home?â
Patricia grinned, âBalfour, we have a very important guest today, the person who saved Granddadâs life.
I think you should also come and entertain her, thatâs why I called you back.â
âSaved Granddadâs life?â Balfourâs expression tightened, he seemed to realize something.
Patricia nodded, âYes! The person who saved Granddadâs life is here. Balfour, guess who? It turns out that itâs Ellinor. What a coincidence! Ellinor actually saved our granddadâs life once.
Balfour didnât show any particular reaction. He just looked around and asked, âWhere is she?â
Patricia winked. âEllinorâs upstairs! I was just showing her my room. Balfour, letâs go find her. Today we really need to thank her for saving Granddadâs lifeâ Without asking further, Balfour followed Patricia upstairs.
Patricia led Balfour towards her room, chatting as they walked, âBalfour, Ellinorâs waiting in my room.
Just now, she even complimented the room you had designed for me.â
After hearing this, Balfour paused; his expression was complicated.
Since Ellinor heard that Patriâs room was specially designed by him, what did she think? Would she feel that he, as a brother, was playing favorites?
Then, at that moment, Patricia suddenly exclaimed, âOh no! Ellinor! How did you end up in this room?
Didnât I say you couldnât just barge into this room?â
