The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chatper 702

Chapter 702

Balfour was staring daggers at his beloved Patn. You sure you saw it with your own eyes?”

Patricia was a bit shaken under his intense gaze, showing a hint of hurt. Really? Don’t you trust me?”

Balfour squinted his bright eyes as doubt began to linger within them, “Then why did Bober say it wasn’t Ellinor who

hurt him?”

Baber said that? Patricia froze, and then it hit her. The call he just took must have been from Quinton.

Baber must have said something to Quinton, who then relayed it to Balfour over the phone.

Not knowing what Baber had said exactly, a wave of panic washed over Patricia, yet she managed to keep her cool.

“Baber’s just a kid, he can’t even articulate property. How could he possibly describe what really happened?

Quinton must have misunderstood him!”

Balfour’s doubt didn’t fade away, “Even though Baber can’t narrate complex events, Quinton showed him Ellinor’s

picture, asking if she was the one who hurt him. But he kept shaking his head, insisting it wasn’t her”

Patricia blinked uncomfortably, her eyes welling up again, “Baber was facing away from Ellinor at the time. He

didn’t see who attacked him. It’s normal that he doesn’t know who it was! And I saw everything it wasn’t just me,

our maid saw it too

After mentioning the maid, who was crouched surreptitiously to one side from the beginning, Balfour shot her a

glance.

He hadn’t really paid attention to her before, but now he recognized her.

She was the maid in charge of making the soup that Patri liked. They were quite close.

Could it be that Patn and this maid had been in cahoots all along?

Balfour didn’t want to think negatively of his own sister, but previously, Patri had tried to frame Ellinor for the sake

of Theo.

At that time, Patri had sincerely apologized and sought forgiveness.

He was willing to believe that his sister was just impulsive, truly remorseful, and wouldn’t repeat her mistakes.

But now a similar situation had arisen, even worse than the last, nearly costing Baber his life.

If Patri really hurt Baber, she must be out of her mind to risk her own child’s life.

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. Balfour frowned deeper, asking again, Quinton said

harder and kept saying he was scared when he saw your picture. Why is that?”

Now, Balfour’s gaze was full of doubt.

He couldn’t believe that his beloved Patri could be so cunning and ruthless.

But when he recalled Baber’s terrified reaction upon seeing Patri after waking up, he began to wonder. If it wasn’t

because Patri did something terrible to him, why

would he be so scared of his own mother?

Balfour really couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

Patricia was struggling to keep her composure under Balfour’s suspicious gaze. She blinked unnaturally and forced

an explanation.

“Baber said he was scared… It could be because the injury left a deep scar in his mind. After seeing my picture, he

must have wanted to find me, but since I wasn’t by his side, all he could do was cry.”
