Chapter 847
Back in the day, no matter how she screwed up, the moment she shed a tear, Balfour would
instantly feel for her and forgive her.
But now, she felt that Balfour no longer had this soft spot for her
To put it accurately, it's not that he was mad at her or trying to discipline her, he just seemed to
have downgraded her importance
Patricia couldn't understand why. She grabbed Balfour's hand as her eyes welled up with tears, and
she asked, âWhat's up with you, Balfour? Don't you like me anymore?
Balfour was stumped by this question. He looked at the sister he had spoiled since childhood and
couldn't quite put his finger on how he felt about her. He just found her every word and action
increasingly irritating, especially when she tried to manipulate people by crying. It ticked him off.
Balfour calmly shrugged off her hand, âNope Stop overthinking and go take a rest
Patricia wasn't satisfied. Over the years, she had been manipulating Balfour's affection for her to get
her way Now she felt she was losing her grip on him, so it bothered
her.
So she grabbed Balfour's hand again, trying to act cute, âBalfour, I'm still a bit dizzy from the blood
draw Can you sit next to me and let me lean on you for a bit? Just a little
while...â
Balfour wanted to decline, but seeing her pathetic look made him hesitate, so he couldn't bring
himself to do it.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Balfour and Patricia both looked over, and Xenia went to open the door
Standing at the door with a smile was Ellinor, âHil Mrs. Howard, I'm back again!â
Behind her was the tall and handsome man, Theo. He didn't say anything and just kept his head
down as he replied to something on his phone
Xenia's expression soured a bit at the sight of Ellinor. She forced a smile, âMs. Mendoza, you're still
here? Is there something you need?â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, âI never said I was leaving I just stepped out for a bit of fresh air, and now
I'm back. What? Mrs. Howard, you donât seem happy to see me.â
Of course, Xenia wasn't happy to see the woman who was stirring up trouble in their family, but she
couldn't say it outright.
Before she could say anything else, Balfour quickly walked over.
Balfour opened the hospital room door wide and said in a gentle voice, âCome in, Ellinor.â
Xenia was pushed to the side and just stood there, dumbfounded. What was up with Balfour? Why
was he so excited to see Ellinor?
This wasn't like him at all! Balfour was usually cold and indifferent. Hardly anyone could catch his
attention in this world! So what was so special about Ellinor?
Patricia also noticed this. With a frown, she thought to herself, why was Balfour's attitude towards
her getting colder but warmer towards Ellinor?
Ellinor strolled in, and as she saw Patricia, she burst into a happy smile, âOh, Ms. Howard, you're
back too! Have you finished all your medical check-ups?â
