Chapter1013
Whatthe hell?
He wished he was theone inthe car accident!
At this point, Haillie, who just got off the phone with Patricia, walked back. Out of guilt, she dared not approach Theo, who was sitting on the ground in a daze. So she bypassed Theo and went to Balfour, handing him a bottle of mineral water.
“Balfour, do youwant some water? Iknow you’re upset about Ellinor’s death, butwhat’s done is done. We have to mourn…”
Balfour coldly glanced at her and asked, “Why are you still here? If it wasn’t for you, Ellinor would be sleeping at home rightnow! Get lost! We don’t need your fake sympathy here!”
The bottle of water inher hand was knocked away. Haillie was startled and instinctively stepped back, her eyes welled up with tears, “Balfour,does Ellinor mean that much to you?”
Balfour was not inthe mood to talkto her, “I’ll sayitagain,get out of my sight!”
Haillie choked up asshe said, “Balfour, Ellinor’s deathhas nothing to do with me! I just asked her to drop me off at my house, butshe insisted on taking me tothe taxi stand. Maybe some things are just fated…”
Balfour couldn’t stand to hear it. Angrily, he said, “Shut up! You better disappear from my sight right now,or don’t blame me for settling the score with youand the Knotts family!”
Haillie didn’t dareto say anything more. She took a few steps back with wide eyes but didn’t leave.
She had to wait here for Patricia, who was on her way to the hospital. Once Patricia arrived, she would surely talk some sense into Balfour and clear up hisand Theo’s misunderstanding.
Just then, Theo’s phone beeped twice, indicating a new message.
He didn’t bother to check it, remaining motionless like a lifeless corpse. A short while later, his phone beeped again, but he still didn’t look.
Atthis moment, nothing in the world mattered to him anymore. Nothing at all.
Collin stood helplessly by, knowing he couldn’t comfort Mr. Blanchet at this time. He could only stand there.
Hearing the text message, Collin lowered his head to glance at Mr. Blanchet. Seeing no reaction, he just sighed.
However, Collin’s own phone also beeped at this time…
Collin pulled out his phone, and his pupils contracted slightly. Just as he was about tolean over and say something to Mr. Blanchet, Patricia’s voice suddenly interrupted him!
Patricia had rushed over,panting heavily.
She ran to Mr. Blanchet with a worried look, squatted down, and asked, “Theo, are you okay?”
Theo remained motionless, his hair covering his eyes and half of his face, casting a large shadow that prevented anyone from seeing his expression.
Patricia felt like her heart was being twisted. Choking back tears, she said, “Theo, as soon as I heard what happened, I rushed over! It’s so unfortunate what happened to Ellinor. Life can be so unpredictable sometimes, and you have to stay strong.”
