Chapter 855: Chapter 855

Ellinor seemed really friendly. She smiled and said, “Ms. Howard, could you tell me about how you saved Theo back in the day? Theo’s getting on in years, so his memory’s not what it used to be Every time I ask him, he says he forgot the details. So why don’t you fill me in?”

Theo was at a loss for words Getting on in years?

Sure, he was a bit older than she was, but he was not losing his marbles!

Ellinor’s question made Patricia a bit evasive, “Uh. It’s been a while, I cant remember a lot of the details.”

Ellinor pretended to be disappointed and frowned, “Come on! Ms. Howard, didn’t you just say you fell head over heels for Theo the first time you saw him? How could you forget such an important moment?

Just spill whatever you can remember!”

After the previous conversation, Patricia realized she had better keep her mouth shut So, she pretended to be under pressure, blinking nervously, “Ellinor, are you worried that I have feelings for Theo beyond friendship and are warning me? Don’t worry, I wont.”

Ellinor interrupted her with a smile, “What do I have to be afraid of? If there was a chance, you two would have been together by now. Would I even get a chance to butt in?”

Patricia’s face darkened, continuing to act nervous, “Then what is this?”

Ellinor said outright, I’m just curious about Theo’s past!

Ms. Howard, don’t overthink it. I’m asking you because I consider you a friend. All you need to do is tell me what you remember. Well… If you don’t want to talk about it, it means you don’t consider me a friend, right?”

Patricia fell silent.

How did Ellinor manage to get the upper hand?

At this point, she had no choice but to spill the beans to Ellinor.

Patricia gritted her teeth and said, “Ellinor, actually, there’s nothing special about it. Theo was bitten by a poisonous snake and lost his sight. I happened to pass by and sucked the poison out of the wound.

Because I was young and panicky, I didn’t spit out all the poisonous blood from my mouth and left some in my body, which made me weak for many years. That’s about it.”

Throughout her narration, Patricia didn’t forget to emphasize the fact that she had been weak for many years because of the snake venom.

Ellinor was really listening attentively, like she was hearing a story. Her eyes were full of curiosity. “Oh Ms. Howard, how did you find Theo? I heard it was in the countryside, why would a rich girl like you be in the countryside?”

Patricia’s eyes flickered, “At that time, I was vacationing at our summer house in the countryside. I was playing outside the house alone when I heard some noise in the bushes and found Theo, who had been bitten by a poisonous snake”

Hearing this, Ellinor tilted her head in confusion, “Ms. Howard, you were just a kid at that time, right?

How could you leave the house to play on your own? Surely, your parents wouldn’t allow that, would they?
