Chapter 832

“Who’s the one wasting the doc’s time, huh?” Ellinor quipped, visibly annoyed. She grabbed Patricia by the collar

and shoved her toward Xenia, “If Ms. Howard here wasn’t busy running her mouth, I’d be done talking to the doctor

by now!

Patricia stumbled and fell onto Xenia, seething with anger

By the time she regained her footing and tried to interrupt Ellinor, it was too late.

Ellinor told the doctor, “Besides his usual diet, the patient also drank a beverage none of us had tasted before”

The doctor took this seriously. “What kind of drink are we talking about?”

“He downed a big glass of pomegranate juice freshly squeezed by his own mother. Doc, there’s some residue of the

juice on this napkin, maybe the hospital can run some tests on it to see if there’s anything harmful

With that, Ellinor handed over the stained napkin that she had used at the Howard family’s dinner table, where she

tasted and then spat out the juice.

The doctor nodded right away. “Alight, we’ll test it right away and see if there’s something fishy with this

pomegranate juice.”

Ellinor nodded back, ‘Great, thanks!”

Then, the doctor went back to the ER to arrange the test.

After watching Ellinor hand over the sample to the doctor, both Xenia and Patricia’s faces dropped.

Before heading to the hospital, Xenia had ordered the house staff to clean up all the remaining juice and destroy all

evidence

Who would’ve thought Ellinor would spit out the juice on a napkin and bring it to the hospital? This was just too

much!

What could she do now? Once the hospital got the test results, she couldn’t refute anything

Balfour squinted at the mother-daughter duo, recalling how Xenia kept pushing Ellinor to drink the juice at dinner.

His face turned serious, Xenia, I hope there’s nothing wrong with your juice! If something happens to Eyran because

of this, it won’t just be swept under the rugh

Xenia felt even more unsettled after Balfour’s warning

But she couldn’t show it, so she faked calmness, Balfour! I can understand if others suspect me, but how could you?

We’re family! Byran is my son, how could I possibly

harm him?’

Balfour stared coldly at his stepmother and snorted sarcastically. “Who was the juice originally intended for? Need I

say it out loud? When Byran wanted to drink it, you were reluctant. You just didn’t have a good reason to refuse. I

saw everything”

Theo frowned. Balfour’s suspicion made him feel uneasy and he clenched Ellinor’s shoulder tightly

Thank god Ellinor was cautious. What could have happened if she didn’t taste it and spit it out?

He shouldn’t have agreed to let her go to the Howard family’s house alone.

Balfour’s harsh words left Xenia speechless

Patricia thought for a moment, her eyes reddening as she defended her mother, “Balfour, how can you talk to Mom

like that?

Mom only squeezed fresh juice for our guest out of kindness today. Byran is her own son, how could she possibly let

him drink it If there really was poison in the juice?”
