Chapter 278
Ellinor remained silent, tightly clasping Theo’s hand as she gazed at him without blinking She gave him a stern look that conveyed her thoughts without needing words.
After a while, Theo turned his head to Belinda beside him and said, “Belinda, help me send Ms Howard back”
Belinda was naturally reluctant, but she knew how to read the room. If she didn’t go, Mr Blanchet would have to, and then Ellinor would be upset
As a loyal supporter of Ellinor, how could she let that happen?
“I got it, I politely send Ms Howard back!”
After speaking, Belinda reluctantly walked up to Patricia.
“Let’s go. Ms Howard Mr Blanchet is busy now, so III take you!”
Patricia’s innocent eyes were staring straight at the hand Ellinor held onto Theo’s, she was stunned for a while before turning to look at Belinda.
“Belinda, do you know which ward I’m staying in?”
Belinda didn’t care. If I don’t know, won’t ask? I can ask, every floor in the hospital has a nurse station, right?”
Patricia’s face looked a bit embarrassed, but she quickly smiled again. “Yeah, you’re right, let’s go!”
Before leaving. Patricia looked deeply at Ellinor and said with concern, “Ellinor, you need to rest well. I’ll come to see you tomorrow”
Ellinor nodded, “Ms. Howard, you also need to take care of yourself and recover soon.”
Patricia’s gaze moved away from Ellinor and looked tenderly at Theo, “Theo, I’m leaving”
“Mhm.”
Theo didn’t say much
Then, Patricia left with Belinda.
Only Ellinor and Theo were left in the ward
Theo lowered his head and looked at the hand Ellinor was holding, his eyes warm. He then looked at her tiny face and asked, “What’s up?”
“Nothing”
Ellinor let go of Theo’s hand without hesitation
She just wanted to observe Patricia’s reaction and verify the hunch in her heart.
If Patricia is a simple–minded girl, her emotions will likely be written all over her face.
Usually, a noble young lady whose whole family has spoiled her doesn’t need to learn how to read the room or control her emotions.
For example, Belinda, and Veronica Blanchet, are people who wear their emotions on their sleeves. They don’t hide if they like or dislike something.
However, when Patricia saw her holding Theo’s hand just now, she obviously cared a lot but could still face it with a smile.
This shows that Ms Howard is not as innocent as she seems, she’s a bit of a fake.
But she’s cute, so it didn’t feel off when she was pretending.
Whether Patricia is pretending or what kind of person she is, Ellinor doesn’t care.
She was thinking, was her severe allergic reaction related to Patricia, and did she do something to cause it? If so, then the conflict between them can’t be resolved.
