Chapter 289
Ellinor, I’m just trying to be your friend here, I even brought you this soup my mom made, why are you treating me like this? Did I do something wrong to piss you off?” Ellinor was cool as a cucumber, just lifting the corner of her mouth a bit, “You didn’t ruffle my feathers, you just got back two days ago, how could you have pissed me off?”
Her words had a different meaning
Patricia had only been back one day, but from yesterday morning, she had been in the hospital with severe allergies, with Belinda and Theo keeping her company
If she really wanted to hurt Patricia, she wouldn’t have had the time to find a so–called perpetrator.
Moreover, before yesterday, no one knew when Patricia would be back.
How could she have planned everything without predicting the future?
Besides, she and Patricia didn’t even know each other before yesterday, let alone have any contact or grudges.
The police’s accusations made it sound like she was the prime suspect. However, time was a hole in their story that couldn’t be covered up. Claiming that she had someone hurt Patricia didn’t hold water at all!
This was clearly a setup
And the person setting the trap was right in front of her eyes.
Patricia coming to bring her soup in the early morning was just a smokescreen, more like she was playing the victim!
“Ellinor, what…what are you laughing at? How can you still laugh?
Patricia stepped back in fear, then hid behind Theo like she’d seen a ghost, clutching at his shirt for protection, “Ellinor is still laughing; it’s so scary…”
Theo patted Patricia lightly on the shoulder to calm her down.
Then, he gently pushed Patricia aside, walked to the bedside, touched Ellinor’s forehead with his hand, his gaze serious, turned to the police and said
“Her condition doesn’t allow her to leave the hospital. Whatever you want to investigate or ask her, do it here in the hospital.”
The police looked a bit awkward, “But.”
The doctor who came with them, due to his professional responsibility, also stepped forward and said, “Officer, this patient is still in a severe allergic condition, and she will need to receive anti–allergic medication later. If you take her away now and her allergic symptoms are not controlled in time, she could be in danger
After hearing this, the police frowned, considered the situation, then stepped outside to call their superiors: After discussing with them, they came back and said, *Considering the suspect Ellinor’s special condition, our superiors have approved her to be interrogated in the hospital. However, Ellinor, we hope you will cooperate with us as much as possible.”
The police then took out handcuffs from their bag and walked determinedly toward Ellinor…
Theo raised his hand to block them, “Who dares to handcuff her before she’s convicted?”
The policeman was quite authoritative, “Mr. Blanchet, don’t make things difficult for us. This is a hospital, we can’t control her like we could at the station. If the suspect escapes, it would be hard for us to explain to the station.”
Theo was very serious and said coldly. “Don’t worry, she won’t run away”
“Mr. Blanchet, but…..”
“No problem, I’m willing to cooperate with the police; let’s get started!”
Ellinor took the initiative to speak; she was lying on the bed with her hands bandaged and still swollen She looked very calm and fearless and waited quietly for the police to handcuff her
