Chapter 624
Patricia was sitting in her wheelchair with a smug grin plastered on her face
Thank god, she and her brother Balfour happened to be at the same hospital as Theo was taking Ellinor for her
prenatal checkup
So she had given the obstetrician a heads-up, instructing him to fudge the lab results.
Otherwise, if Theo knew the baby in Ellinor’s belly was his, he would surely ditch her and Baber in a heartbeat.
Now, thinking that the baby was another man’s, Theo must see Ellinor as a loose woman, and he would surely drop
her like a hot potato.
Huh! That despicable Ellinor! Did she think she could snatch Theo away from her again? Not a chance!
“Patricia, why are you all by yourself here?”
Haillie’s confused voice sounded from behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatricia spun her wheelchair around, flashing her best innocent smile.
‘Just needed some fresh air; the ward was getting stuffy How’s Balfour doing, Haillie?”
Upon mention of Balfour’s injury. Haillie’s face crumpled, “Balfour’s wounds are bandaged. The doc says it’s a
minor fracture. He just needs some rest. Quinton is looking after him now.”
Patricia feigned worry, “I just hope there’s no lasting damage. Who would have thought Theo would lay a hand on
him, all because of Ellinor”
Haillie gritted her teeth at the mention of Ellinor, “Theo’s always respected Balfour. He wouldn’t have hit him if it
weren’t for whatever that tramp Ellinor told him
The more she talked, the angrier she got. She felt like she could chop Ellinor into pieces with her bare hands.
Patricia, as always, played the victim, “Ellinor really crossed the line this time. She’s gotten both Theo and Balfour
hurt. I don’t ever know how badly Theo’s injured or if he’s seen a doctor.”
Haillie huffed, “But you’re injured too, Patricia! Your foot, remember? It’s all because of that witch, Ellinor She
shows up and all hell breaks loose. It’s so annoying! Just wait, I’ll deal with her!
Watching Haillie practically foam at the mouth with hatred for Ellinor made Patricia smirk.
Perfect! It was just what she needed
She wanted to let the idiotic Haillie handle Ellinor, so she wouldn’t have to get her hands dirty and risk getting
caught.
But thinking about what happened earlier at the Bagley family’s home still made Patricia feel a pang of fear.
Before they came to the hospital, she was chatting with Balfour and Haillie in the guest room.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Before they could answer it, Theo kicked the door open.
He stormed in, grabbed Balfour by his collar, and punched him.
Balfour, completely blindsided, retaliated.
And then it was a full blown brawl, where both men were wounded and battered.
Despite the bad blood between the Blanchet and Howard families, they had always maintained a basic level of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcivility. This kind of disgraceful fight was unheard of.
The whole thing happened so fast that Patricia and Haillie were petrified. They had to call for Quinton to break up
the fight.
Balfour wiped the blood from his mouth, seething with eyes full of contempt, “You betrayed Patricia for a woman
who left you, and now you’re hitting me? Have you lost your mind. Theo?”
Theo’s eyes were as cold as ice, “Remember this! No one touches Ellinor! If you so much as harm a hair on her
head… you and the entire Howard family will pay!”
With that, Theo stood up, lazily adjusted his tie, rolled his neck, and, without another word, walked out.
Leaving a room full of stunned people and a battered Balfour behind.
Patricia had always known there was a place for Ellinor in Theo’s heart, but she didn’t expect it to be so significant
that he would lose all reason and fight for her.
That’s why Patricia was driven mad by jealousy and wanted to kill Ellinor.
She couldn’t stand the thought of Ellinor still being alive!
