Chapter 684
Theo stayed silent.
That year, to save his life, Patricia sucked the poison from his body without a second thought, which meant she lost her chance of ever becoming a mother. This was something he felt eternally guilty about. He couldn’t meet her emotional needs, so he had no words to say when faced with Balfour’s outburst. Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Howard, if you really care for your sister, it’s more important to help her find her kid first than fight for Theo’s heart!”
Balfour stared at Theo, then turned his gaze to the eloquent Ellinor, his eyes filled with disgust and anger.
It was all her fault!
Patricia was on the verge of a breakdown due to Ellinor’s torment. He really wished he could strangle her!
Then, several servants came panting from all directions to report.
“We’ve searched everywhere, but we still haven’t found the child”
After hearing this distressing news, Patricia started crying again, “Where on earth is Baber?! My Baber…
Balfour withdrew his gaze and turned to the servants, asking sternly, “Did you check every room in the house?”
A servant stepped forward, “We’ve searched everywhere we could. There are only two special rooms upstairs left, but we didn’t dare enter without your permission.” Mentioning those two “special” rooms upstairs, Balfour’s eyes flickered with complex emotions. He was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.
“I’ll check those two rooms upstairs. In the meantime, get some search dogs and comb through the house again!”
“Yes sir!”
The servants hurried off to carry out his new orders.
Balfour massaged his temples, feeling exhausted. He turned to Patricia and said softly, “Patri, I’ll go upstairs and check. Don’t worry, we will find the child.” Patricia knew he was going to search those “special” rooms for Baber. She nodded and said, “Let Theo go with you! Baber likes Theo the most. If he’s really in those rooms and sees Theo, he will come out!”
Balfour instinctively resisted this suggestion. He usually didn’t let anyone casually enter those two “special” rooms, let alone a stranger.
But after seeing Patri’s anxious face, Balfour didn’t have the heart to refuse. He turned to Theo with a cold look, “Let’s go and see.”
Theo couldn’t refuse, but he was worried about Ellinor. He looked down at her.
Ellinor was a smart woman. From the conversation between Balfour and the servants, she understood that the two special rooms upstairs weren’t to be entered lightly. So she sat on the couch.
“You go, I’ll wait here” She told Theo.
He understood what she meant. He gently patted her head, warning her sternly yet gently, “Don’t run around.”
Ellinor nodded obediently, “Alright, I understand!”
She was always docile and knew what to do and when. She wouldn’t joke around with Theo at such a time.
And so, the two men went upstairs together.
With no one else around, Patricia’s expression was no longer weepy and sad. She stared at Ellinor with a gloomy look.
Theo’s every move towards Ellinor just now had been like a stab to her heart.
Ellinor noticed Patricia’s glare, but she didn’t care.
