Chapter 534
Theo was planning to pull Ellinor aside for a chat and Patricia instantly got a bit jittery With teary eyes, she turned around from Balfour’s arms, “Where are you taking Ellinor?”
Theo gave Patncia a chilly look, “Keep the kid company for now, we’ll sort this out”
From what he said, was Theo planning on pinning something on Ellinor?
Maybe she had already gathered enough evidence to prove that Ellinor was up to no good, and Theo surely believed that Ellinor had been planning to hurt Baber and he was not going to let her off the hook
With these thoughts, Patricia nodded, “Alright, I’ll look after Baber, come back when you’ve sorted everything out.”
Theo didn’t respond to Patricia again, his cold gaze fell on Ellinor, and he ordered, “You, come with me.”
Ellinor really didn’t want to talk to him anymore, but this was about who had harmed his son. If she refused to cooperate with the investigation, knowing Theo’s character, he definitely wouldn’t let it go.
After a thought, Ellinor nodded and decided to go with him.
However, Bartlett raised his arm to stop Ellinor and asked Theo, “Theo, where are you taking her? Ellinor couldn’t possibly be that kind of person and she would never harm a child.”
Theo squinted his eyes, his hard and dark face didn’t have the usual courtesy he showed to friends, “Do you really know her?”
Bartlett smiled slightly. “T’ve known Ellinor for quite some time; I trust her character. And you? You’ve known Ellinor even longer than me, don’t you know her at all?”
Theo snorted, “Trust? On what grounds? Your intuition? Or because you like her?”
Bartlett’s eyes dimmed but he kept a calm smile, “Theo, don’t make this ugly.”
“It’s okay. Mr. Rex, I’m fine. I can go with Mr. Blanchet to clear things up.” Ellinor cut Bartlett off.
She didn’t want to see these two men at a standoff because of whether she had harmed someone. If outsiders saw this, they might think she was some kind of troublemaker who caused these two old friends to turn against each other over a woman.
Bartlett frowned, still worned, “Ellinor, you really don’t have to.”
“Don’t worry!” Ellinor waved casually at Bartlett, then followed Theo towards the long hallway of the hospital.
At the end of the hallway, Theo entered the stairwell.
Without hesitation, Ellinor followed him in.
“If you have any questions, fire away. But no matter how many times you ask, my answer will stay the same, I didn’t do what I didn’t do. If you really don’t believe me, just call the cops! It won’t be my first time being falsely taken to a police station.”
As soon as she entered the stairwell, Ellinor made her position clear
Theo didn’t respond to her and just leaned lazily against the wall with his tall, slender figure and slowly lit a cigarette.
After a puff, he took a small, elongated box out of his pants pocket and casually tossed it to her, and with a cold voice, he said, “Treat your hand first!”
What?
Ellinor instinctively caught the thing he threw.
Looking closely at the item in her hand, she found out that what Theo gave her was actually a tube of burn ointment.
Ellinor’s pupils shrank slightly and she was stunned.
Theo actually noticed that her hand was burned. She didn’t show any signs; how did he find out?
