“Cut the crap. But I can tell that guy must be someone special, probably from some big shot family like Ms. Howard. Only a hottie like him would match with a beauty like her!”
Hearing this, Ellinor slowly passed by the nurses‘ station, having a rough idea of what had happened.
Patricia had encountered a harasser and called Theo for help By the time Theo arrived, the harasser had likely fled
The police were now retrieving hospital surveillance footage to identify the suspect
The nurses mentioned that Patricia was in room 302 It didn’t seem far away. She should be there soon if she takes the next turn.
Ellinor made a turn at the corner and quickly found room 302.
The door to the patient room was ajar, filled with people, including the police.
She didn’t get too close, but her angle gave her a clear view of the room….
In the room, Patricia was terrified, leaning into Theo’s arms, her shoulders trembling. “Theo, I’m scared.”
Theo was holding her, comforting her with soft pats on her back, gently guiding her, “It’s all over now, just tell the police exactly what the person who bullied you looked like Do you remember his features?”
Since Patricia was hospitalized and couldn’t go to the police station for a statement, the police had to conduct their investigation in the hospital.
Theo’s comfort managed to stabilize Patricia’s emotions a bit. She took a deep breath and tried to calmly describe the man to the police, “The man striped shirt, wearing glasses, a bit fat, about 1.7 meters tall…”
The police nodded and took notes.
“All right, we got it, Ms. Howard. Don’t worry, we’ll catch this guy for you!”
“Thank you.”
Patricia thanked the police politely and snuggled back into Theo, seeking comfort. It seemed like everything but this man frightened her right now…
“Theo, I’m scared. Don’t leave, stay with me…”
“I won’t leave
Theo gently patted her back, comforting her softly.
The police finished their work and prepared to leave, “Mr. Blanchet, we’ll be going now We’ll contact you if there are any clues as soon as possible”
Theo nodded slightly, “Okay, Haillie Knotts, see them out”
Haillie politely said, “Thank you for your hard work. This way, please.”
Outside the room, Ellinor saw that they were all right and nothing serious had happened, so she turned her gaze away and headed back to her room….
“Ellinor, I knew it was you!”
Haillie, who had been seeing the police out, spotted a familiar figure in the corridor. She hurried over, and sure enough, it was Ellinor!
Ellinor looked at Haillie blocking her way and said indifferently, “Good evening. Haillie.”
he was wearing a
Haillie looked at Ellinor, then turned to look at room 302. She could see Patricia nestled in Theo’s arms through the half–open door. She immediately understood and laughed, “Ellinor, you saw it, didn’t you? I told you long ago that you mean nothing to Theo once Patricia returns!”
Ellinor’s lips curved slightly.
Even before Patricia came back, she meant nothing to Theo. What was the difference?
Haillie crossed her arms triumphantly and said, “Let me tell you, Patricia knew Theo when she was ten. You can’t break their years of relationship!*
Ellinor found her blocking the way and raised an eyebrow, “Haillie, do you think you’re being nosy?”
Haillie’s face changed. She didn’t see any signs of disappointment on Ellinor’s face. It was like punching cotton. She gritted her teeth, ‘Humph! Ellinor, I can’t wait to see you get dumped by Theo. Just don’t cry too hard, then!”
“Haillie, who are you talking to?”
A man’s gentle and calm voice suddenly sounded from behind Ellinor
