Chapter 844
Theo fell silent…
Ellinor’s thinking was too fast.
After her speech, if he didn’t sign the agreement, he’d look guilty.
He couldn’t do anything to her.
But then again, given Ellinor’s tough upbringing and her insecurity about marriage, it’s understandable she’d want such an agreement
If it would make her feel more secure, why not just sign it?
After all, there was no way they were splitting up again.
Meanwhile, Byran, after a long snooze, finally woke up
Upon seeing his son awake, McNeil Howard’s furrowed brows relaxed, “Byran, how are you feeling?”
After hearing his father speak, Balfour, who was deep in thought on a nearby sofa, snapped back to reality and walked towards the bed.
Byran opened his eyes but still looked a bit off, his expression confused
He felt awful and had no idea what had happened, “Dad, Balfour, what’s going on?”
McNeil Howard said, “It’s nothing you just had some bad food. You’ll be fine after a few days in the hospital.”
“Oh…” Byran, being a simple–minded guy, didn’t suspect a thing
Balfour gave his father a deep look but didn’t blow his cover
He knew that his father wasn’t saying this to protect Xenia, but rather to keep Byran from knowing the truth and feeling hurt.

If Byran found out that he got into this state because he drank the pomegranate juice his mother made and that juice was intentionally tampered with by his mother to harm someone else, it would be a huge blow to this innocent kid.
It was hard for people to accept the fact that their mother wasn’t a good person; especially for immature kids, it could shatter their faith.
So, there really was no need for Byran to know the truth now, he had to focus on getting better.
Suddenly, Byran remembered something. He anxiously looked at his brother beside the bed like a kid who did something wrong, “Balfour, I haven’t finished my homework yet. Can you have someone bring it to the hospital later? I can make it up…”
Balfour frowned and surprisingly softened his tone towards his brother, who was always causing him trouble, ‘Forget about your homework for now, your health is more important You can make it up later.”
Byran sighed in relief. “Thank you, Balfour
Just then, Byran heard someone crying, and his gaze shifted from his father and Balfour to his mother, Xenia, who was standing on the other side.
“Mom, why are you crying? I’m not dead”
Xenia, wiping away her tears, was being coldly stared at by McNeil Howard and Balfour due to the pomegranate juice incident. She didn’t dare approach her son, she could only stand by the bed and watch as she sobbed, ‘Byran, thank goodness! You’re finally awake! I’m so glad you’re okay, so glad…”
