Theo stayed silent.
That year, to save his life, Patricia sucked the poison from his body without a second thought, which meant she lost her chance of ever becoming a mother.
This was something he felt eternally guilty about. He couldn't meet her emotional needs, so he had no words to say when faced with Balfour’s outburst.
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Howard, if you really care for your sister, it's more important to help her find her kid first than fight for Theo's heart!”
Balfour stared at Theo, then turned his gaze to the eloquent Ellinor, his eyes filled with disgust and anger.
It was all her fault!
Patricia was on the verge of a breakdown due to Ellinor's torment. He really wished he could strangle her!
Then, several servants came panting from all directions to report.
“We've searched everywhere, but we still haven't found the child!”
After hearing this distressing news, Patricia started crying again, “Where on earth is Baber?! My Baber…”
Balfour withdrew his gaze and turned to the servants, asking sternly, “Did you check every room in the house?”
A servant stepped forward, “We've searched everywhere we could. There are only two special rooms upstairs left, but we didn't dare enter without your permission.”
Mentioning those two “special” rooms upstairs, Balfour’s eyes flickered with complex emotions. He was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.
“I'll check those two rooms upstairs. In the meantime, get some search dogs and comb through the house again!”
“Yes sir!”
