Balfour looked at Patricia with confusion. “Patri, are you saying that the kid was already injured before he came to the office? What the heck happened? Who’s been around the kid at home”
Upon hearing her brother’s question, Patricia felt quilty as hell and tears started falling from her face.
Yes, she had intentionally caused the kid’s injuries to frame Ellinor and get Balfour to fire her.
Haillie was a witness she had brought in on purpose to stir up trouble
But she never expected Ellinor to be so cautious and record the whole incident on her phone.
Patricia hid her guilt behind her crying. “Bro… I have no idea! How could this happen? Who would be so cruel as to hurt such a small child? Maybe the nanny who’s responsible for looking after him did it because she thought he was too naughty when I wasn’t around.”
Child abuse was something that needed to be dealt with seriously!
Balfour’s expression hardened, “Call the police! We must investigate all the nannies, maids, and childcare workers who have been in contact with the kid recently!” Seeing her brother make this decision, Patricia was afraid her actions would be discovered, but she didn’t dare voice her opposition, which would make her look even more suspicious. She decided to think of a plan when she got home.
She wiped her tears and turned to Ellinor with the kid, looking very apologetic, “Ellinor, I’m sorry! | blamed you just now because I was really worried about the kid”” Ellinor gave a slight smile, “It’s okay. It’s not the first time you’ve blamed me wrongly
Patricia went pale and had nothing to say
Haillie glared at Ellinor and said angrily, “Patricia has apologized to you, what kind of attitude is this? Don’t be ungrateful!”
Ellinor ignored Haillie and said to Patricia, “Ms. Howard, you seem very worried about the kid. You should take your son to the hospital to check his injuries soon!”
“Okay, thank you for your concern, Ellinor We’ll go right now!” Patricia pretended to be very anxious and said to Balfour, ‘Bro, Hailler and I will take the kid to the hospital for a check-up first; you’re busy with work; you don’t need to come with us!”
Balfour indeed had important work to handle and he had already sent Quinton to run errands. He was worried about his sister and nephew, so he turned to Ellinor and seriously instructed her, “Ms Mendoza, please accompany Patri and the others to the hospital and let me know if anything happend.”
“Okay, Mr. Howard.” Although Ellinor was reluctant, she couldn’t disobey her boss’s orders on her first day at work.
She got this job with great difficulty, and she had to make a good impression at the Howard Group to continue her investigation into her mother’s affairs
Children’s hospital.
The place Ellinor disliked the most was the hospital, as it affected her mood.
Patricia didn’t let her into the examination room, so she could only wait in the hallway for them.
Later, Patricia sent Haille out to buy a bottle of water for the kid.
