Patricia had regained her cool and was once again defending her mom âBalfour, you canât just accuse Mom like that! Saffron is indeed known to be good for blood circulation and beauty care. Mom doesnât understand medical stuff, she just knows to use more of the good stuff! Regardless, Mom added saffron to the pomegranate juice with good intentions, she didnât mean any harm!
Good intentions? Her good intentions almost had Ellinor drink something that could have harmed her and her baby! And got Byran laying in a hospital bed!
Balfour looked at Patricia, who always found excuses for Xenia, and felt an unprecedented disgust for his spoilt little sister Just then, someone knocked on the hospital room door It was the doctor who had left after giving them the test results. He was back.
âOh, I forgot to return something to Ms. Howard!â
The doctor went straight to Patricia, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to her, saying seriously. âIâm sorry, Ms. Howard Our hospital has a rule against accepting personal belongings from family members or manipulating test results. I temporarily look your card earlier to avoid you disrupting my work. Now that the work is done, I can return your card Patricia turned pale at the sight of the doctor.
She didnât reach out for the bank card. She couldnt!
If she did, her innocent image that she maintained for so many years would collapse completely!
But right now, she couldnât think of any excuses for herself.
Balfour took the bark card from the doctor and confirmed that it was indeed Patriciaâs, with her name on it.
In a split second, Balfourâs eyes filled with disappointment and anger, and he glared at the pale Patricia, âYou actually tried to bribe the doctor with money?â
Patricia came back to her senses and quickly shook her head in a panic. No, no. Balfour, I just wanted the doctor to pay more attention to Byranâs condition and treat him better As Byranâs sister, I was just too worried about him, thatâs why I gave the doctor moneyâ
After seeing her still lie, Balfourâs disappointment in his sister turned into disgust. He snorted heavily, âYou should have given money to Byranâs attending doctor, not to the doctor who was responsible for testing the pomegranate juice!â
Patricia was speechless as Balfour saw through her lie âBalfour, Lâ¦
Balfour threw the bank card on the ground with a look of disappointment Initially, he thought the thing with the pomegranate juice was Xenia acting alone. He thought that it was just her dangerous act to help her daughter pursue Theo, which Patri was unaware of He believed she just wanted to protect her mother and that the matter had nothing to do with Patri.
However, this bank card was enough proof that Patri not only knew about it but was also supportive.
This was the little sister he had spoiled since childhood, who had now become a scheming woman and was very good at playing innocent.
Realizing she had disappointed Balfour. Patricia rushed over to throw herself into Ballourâs arms like before, playing the victim. âBalfour, youâve really misunderstood me, things arenât as you think â
Balfour felt repulsed and pushed her away. âYou wonât even admit youâre wrong now? Hat What am I supposed to believe from you?â
