At this point, Patricia had no choice but to toss her mom’s dignity under the bus to keep her own
innocent image intact.
Otherwise, they’d have no place in the Howard family
While Patricia wasn’t sure what was going on in Ellinor’s head, the story she’d just spun was the most
plausible one that could get Patricia off the hook. So she agreed with Ellinor’s version for now
Ellinor reached out with a sympathetic hand, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Patricia’s ear. “Yeah,
I think so too. Ms Howard’s such a sweet and kind person. She nearly gave her life to save Theo and
ended up being unable to have children. I can’t believe someone as selfless as her would get involved
in something so harmful”
After hearing Ellinors veiled praises. Patricia felt a chill running down her spine. Ellinors sudden
defense felt a bit off
Ellinor frowned deeply, looking worried “Ms. Howard, I just remembered! You also chugged a big glass
of pomegranate juice spiked with way too much saffron without knowing it. Are you okay? Do you feel
unwell anywhere?!
Patricia hadn’t let her guard down around Ellinor, but for now, she had to play along. She shook her
head innocently. Tim sorry to worry you, Ellinor, but I’m fine. I don’t feel unwell”
But Ellinor still looked unconvinced, “You can’t be too careful! After hearing about the side effects of
saffron from the doctor, I did some googling. Turns out, even girls who aren’t pregnant can get seriously
harmed from too much saffion! Ms. Howard, I suggest you get yourself checked out to see if your
body’s been affected
Patricia knew full well that Ellinor wasn’t genuinely concerned for her. She politely declined, “Thank you
for your concern, Ellinor. But I’m really okay, there’s no need for a check up.”
Ellinor shook her head, “How can you not get checked? You drank a whole glass, not just a sip! Look at
your brother, Byran. He only had half a glass, and he started bleeding from his stomach! For safety’s
sake, I think you should get checked”
Patricia instinctively didn’t want to get checked. She refused again. “No need! I’m really okay! Actually, I
didn’t drink much, I threw up…
Her mind was a mess, and she accidentally let slip something she shouldn’t have said,
When she realized her mistake, she immediately shut up.
But the cat was already out of the bag, and Ellinor caught it
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, lilting her head in confusion, “Huh? Threw up? Ms. Howard, didn’t you tell
me that you didn’t throw up the juice? If you did, why would you? Could it be that you knew the juice
was poisoned from the beginning?”
Patricia’s face froze
She quickly racked her brain for an excuse. No. I didn’t throw up… I mean, I just needed to use the
bathroom after drinking the juice, so I went. I think the toxins from the saffron must’ve been flushed out
then, so they didrit affect me
Ellinor furrowed her brows with concern, “If you didn’t throw up, then you should still get checked! Ms.
Howard, you’ve already got a weak body from saving Theo back then It’d be bad if you hurt yourself
again it’s always better to catch things early right?”
Patricia was frustrated inside but she had to keep a calm face. Ellinor had pushed her into a corner, but
she still didn’t want to agree to the check-up.
Ellinor didn’t wait for her to agree. She made the arrangements addressing the doctor who was still
present.
“Doctor, could you please take Ms. Howard to get checked for any issues from consuming excessive
saffron, especially any gynecological issues? We need to make sure the saffron isn’t causing any
menstrual irregularities or excessive bleeding
The doctor was about to leave and nodded, “Alright Ms. Howard, come with me. I’ll arrange for a
thorough check-up for you.”
