Chapter 531
Just a few days later and sheâs back at it again.
Ellinor gave Patricia a nasty look, her dislike for Patricia had reached a boiling point.
How could she use a situation where her child got hurt to her advantage?
This woman really had no shame!
Although Ellinor didn't like this kid's mom, she believed the kid was innocent. The poor thing got
scalded, he must have been in terrible pain right now and did not understand why he hurt so much
She didn't rush to defend herself. Instead, she whipped out her phone and dialed emergency
services, giving therm the address. After hanging up, she started talking
âThe waiter almost spilled the whole soup pot on your kid. I was just trying to save him. But the
waiter ran off because he was afraid of taking the blame
However, Patncia looked at her in disbelief, âEllinor, you're lying! I saw you snatch the soup pot from
the waiter and throw it at my son. How dare you blame the waiter?! You've gone too farâ
Ellinor really didn't like Patricia's attitude, so she coldly reminded her âMs. Howard, maybe you
should worry about your son first, he's crying in pain!â
Patricia looked taken aback and then started weeping even more pitifully, âHe's my own son, how
could I not care about him? Ellinor, you hurt my son and yet you're playing the saint! Ellinor, I
invited you to lunch, how could you treat me like this?! I always thought you were a good person.â
Ellinor ignored her and let her continue her performance.
Not getting a response from Ellinor, Patricia turned to Theo, âTheo, what should we do about our
child? He's hurt.â
Theo calmly checked if the child had any other injuries and once he was sure there weren't any, he
immediately picked him up and told Patricia, âDonât panic, we're going to the hospitalâ
Patricia nodded while sobbing. âOkay, we're going to the hospitalâ
Ellinor blocked Theo's path, Tve already called an ambulance; it should be here soon; it'll be faster
than you taking him to the hospital.â
However, Theo didnât wait; he went around her, holding the child, and left swiftly.
Patricia followed Theo out, and as she passed Ellinor, she had a victorious smile on her face and
even scoffed.
Ellinor was fuming, the child was so badly injured, and yet, as his mother, she could still smile?
At that moment, Bartlett came back from taking a call just in time to see Theo carrying the crying
child and leaving with Patricia
He looked puzzled and asked Ellinor after entering the room, âWhat happened?â
Ellinor said, âTheir kid got scalded by hot soup, it's pretty serious.â
Bartlett was taken aback, âHow did he suddenly get scalded?â
Ellinor snorted, âThey're saying I did it, can you believe it?â
âNo way!" Bartlett replied firmly, then he scanned her up and down nervously. âEllinor, did you get
burned?â
Ellinor did get burned when she grabbed the hot soup pot and her palm was a bit sore now
But she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she shook her head, âNo.â
Bartlett finally relaxed, âGlad you're okay, let's go to the hospital to check on the kid!"
Ellinor didn't object and she nodded, âOkay, let's go!"
She felt sorry for the kid for having been born to such a ruthless mother, his childhood would
probably be filled with horrors.
