Chapter1015
Marissa had a gut feeling about what was going on. Unable to bear the nagging worry, she swiftly threw off her blanket and hopped off her sick bed without a care in the world, “If you guys don’t tell me, I’ll go ask the doctor myself; I’ll see for myself…”
Putnam stuck in his wheelchair, couldn’t stop her. He quickly said to Veronica, “Veronica,quick! Go drag your grandma back here. She can’t leave! The doctor said if she gets another shock, her heart disease might flare up!”
Veronica acknowledged this and immediately ran after her grandma.
Marissa bolted out of the ward without even putting on her shoes, heading straight for the emergency room.
Veronica managed tocatch up withher in time and with the help ofafew servants, managed tohaul her back to her room, ignoring Marissa’s struggles and outcry.
Now, there was no changing the factthat Ellinor was gone. Grandma couldn’t have any more problems; she couldn’t get any more shocks.
After they got Marissa back to the room,Putnam had the doctor called in. They gave his wife a sedative to stop her from thinking about anything that might upset her.
Meanwhile, at the entrance to the emergency room.
Patricia had said a lot of comforting things to Theo, but Theo didn’t respond at all. Even when she tried to hold his hand, to touch him,he was like a soulless shell, completely still.
She was certainly thrilled tohear about Ellinor’s death, but she was genuinely worried that the man she wanted the most might be affected by this, that his mental state might suffer.
Was Ellinor really that important to Theo? Did her death hit him that hard? Wasn’t she just a woman he had known for a few months?
There were so many women in the world! Theo should take another look at her!
Patricia tried again to shake Theo, “Theo, answer me, don’t make me worry…”
The man still didn’t respond, but Haillie walked over, “Patricia, why don’t you let Theo have some peace for now? Maybe you can go comfort Balfour? He’s not in a good state either…”
Haillie’s meaning was clear. Since Theo wasn’t listening to anyone right now, Patricia might as well go and say some nice things to Balfour to get him tostop hating her.
Hearing Haillie’s voice, Patricia looked up at Haillie.
Haillie communicated with Patricia through her eyes, hoping she would understand her meaning, to go over and talk to Balfour, to say things that would make him stop hating her.
However, when Patricia got up, she suddenly slapped Haillie hard across the face.
Slap!
This was the second slap Haillie received today!
This slap hurt even more than the one from Balfour, Haillie was completely stunned. She looked at her best friend in surprise, “Patricia? What are you doing?”
