Chapter 610
They were her own grandparents, how could she possibly not care? Just standing by and watching them bear the pain of missing their daughter for so many years, not to mention the suffering brought by their illnesses was enough to make anybody tear up
If her mom knew about her grandparents‘ situation, she’d be beartbroken tog
Byran who was standing by scratched his chin. “So, Ellinor Does this mean you’ll be my sister from now on?
Ellinor raised an eyebrow at him, “What? Are you excited about that?”
Byran cocked his chin and proudly declared, Humph What’s there to be happy about? It’s not like I’m short of sisters!”
Ellinor chuckled lightly, ignoring him, and turned to leave
Byran frowned and quickly caught up with her, “Hey, where are you going?”
Ellinor responded indifferently. “Going to keep old Mrs Ragley company”
Byran puffed up his chest and kept pace with her, “Wait for me, I want to visit grandma too!”
Ellinor gave him a sidelong glance, not rejecting him.
Meanwhile, in another quest room.
After Haillie pushed Patricia into the quest room, she began to apologize and blame herself.
“Patricia, it’s all my fault! If I hadn’t suggested that Ellinor replace you on stage, things wouldn’t have turned out this way I’m sorry”
In the privacy of the quest room, Patricia couldn’t control her facial expressions anymore, She couldn’t keep the act up and sneered, “Yeah, it’s all you, you idiot! You’re just making things worse!”
Haillie was taken aback, “Patricia?”
She was sincerely apologizing, but she didn’t expect the usually gentle and generous Patricia to call her an idiot?
Patricia, in Haillie’s mind, was always the kindest, most pure–hearted girl in the world. She had never seen this harsh side of Patricia,
She was a bit dazed for a moment, wondering if she had misheard.
“Patricia, I’m really sorry I had good intentions. I thought if Ellinor went on stage, she’d make a fool of herself and anger old Mr. Bagley. Who knew she could actually sing?” Patricia glared at Haillie with disgust and sneered, “For my sake? Well, isn’t this great? Now Ellinor has become the granddaughter of the Bagley family. With the Bagleys backing her, she’ll be even more arrogant in front of me!”
Haillie truly felt guilty, but her shock outweighed her guilt because the Patricia in front of her, with her sharp words, didn’t seem like the same person she knew.
“Patricia,” Haillie frowned, looking at Patricia with a sense of unfamiliarity.
Noticing Haillie’s scrutinizing gaze, Patricia felt irritated. She gritted her teeth, trying to calm herself down
Then she successfully recovered from her emotional outburst and her face returned to its usual innocent gentleness.
“Haillie, don’t get me wrong. My outburst just now wasn’t at you; it was at Ellinor! You know, I’m not usually like this. I was just so mad at Ellinor that my mind was a mess
Haillie was stunned for a moment. Looking at the now calmed Patricia, her shock gradually subsided. This was the good friend she knew.
“Oh! Patricia, you have every right to be mad at me. Because it’s my fault that Ellinor got her way today”
Patricia wheeled herself over to Haillie, gently took her hand, and comforted her, “Haillie, I don’t blame you. I know you were looking out for me. If there’s anyone to blame. it’s Ellinor for being so cunning and scheming.”
