Chapter 290
Ellinor willingly cooperated with the cops, and although Theo was far from thrilled, he didn’t say anything else, respecting her decision.
So, Ellinor’s hands were cuffed up by the police.
At the same time, they posted a guard at her hospital room door, temporarily restricting her freedom of movement.
Since Ellinor’s condition required IV treatment, the cops didn’t immediately start questioning her.
The police put humane treatment first, listened to the doctor’s advice, and agreed to let her finish her treatment before the interrogation began.
Ellinor had the breakfast Theo had sent over and managed to have a little snooze while she was being treated.
In the afternoon, the police started the questioning
According to the rules, nobody else was allowed to be present during the interrogation, so Theo was asked to leave the room.
Theo’s presence was a sticky wicket for the police
Ellinor asked him to leave, and Theo only picked up his jacket from the couch and left.
Theo stood by the hospital room door, observing what was happening inside through the little glass window
Theo
Patricia’s voice came from behind him.
At the same time, she gently tugged at his shirt sleeve.
Theo turned around, “Why are you still here?”
Patricia looked at him with a heartbroken expression, “Theo, I don’t understand why Ellinor would want to hurt me; I want to wait here for the results”
Theo looked at her, his face a mix of emotions, but he didn’t answer
Patricia looked a bit cold, and Theo asked, “Are you cold?”
Patricia nodded, “A bit”
Theo said concernedly. “The weather’s getting colder, don’t catch a cold, go back to your room.”
She paused, glanced at his jacket, but didn’t say anything
Theo didn’t notice her subtle hint, continuing to watch the room through the small window.
Ellinor was handcuffed to the headboard inside the room, answering the police’s questions
This unruly girl was now meekly being interrogated on a regular day, looking quite pitiful
