Theo was soaking in the unexpected âhusband that slipped from Ellinorâs lips, a glint of surprise and a faint smile dancing in his eyes.
Ellinor seemed a bit jealous, but hey, she knew how to keep her man in check Theo cringed a bit at Patriciaâs painful yelp. He patted Ellinorâs head in an attempt to soothe her. âItâs okay, she didnât touch me. Let her go, okay?â
Ellinor released Patricia as her eyes coldly flicked over Theo, âTheo, you better keep yourself in line! I wonât put up with a cheater!â
Theo frowned, lightly flicking her forehead, âEllinor, who are you calling a cheater?
Ellinor rubbed her forehead, clearly miffed, âHmph! Any man who doesnât reject other women is a cheater in my book! You didnât react when other women were making moves on you!â
Theo distanced himself from Patricia, sitting next to Ellinor and taking her hand, âIâll listen to you. From now on, I wonât let anyone else touch me, okay?â
Ellinor, however, scowled discontentedly. Are you implying that Iâm not a person?â
Theo could only laugh, âWould I dare? I mean, anyone but you canât touch me. Is that okay?â
Ellinor arched an eyebrow, âIâll let it slide!â
Theo pinched her nose. âWhy are you so hard to deal with? I promised not to let anyone else touch me, so you have to do the same. You can only let me touch you!â
Patricia came over to stir up trouble between Theo and Ellinor but ended up being humiliated Her jealousy was about to erupt Theo wasnât even giving her a second glance anymore. Patricia gritted her teeth and walked away.
Right now, she had other things to deal with. Once sheâd solved her immediate problem, she d deal with Ellinor properly Not long after Patriciaâs figure disappeared down the hospital condor, Byran was wheeled out of the emergency room.
Byran was still unconscious, so the medical staff settled him into a single room in the ward giving his family some instructions about his condition and what to look out for Now, Byran needed to rest, once he woke up, theyâd check for any cognitive issues.
The results for the pomegranate juice werenât out yet, theyâd have to wait three more hours.
In the meantime, Patricia snuck into the hospital lab, slipping the doctor in charge a bank card and instructing him not to reveal the real ingredients in the pomegranate juice The lab doctor took the bank card without hesitation.
Patricia had a smug grin on her face as she left the lab. She was confident about the final outcome.
Ellinor wanted to use the pomegranate juice to prove her motherâs guilt? Dream on; sheâs got another thing coming!
Money made the world go round. The lab doctor didnt even hesitate to take her bank card he agreed so quickly!
Ellinor would be so disappointed when she found out Served her right!
Three hours passed.
Byran was still unconscious, but the results for the pomegranate juice were finally out Wapier
