    Chapter 241


    Ellinor had it nailed. Theo must be under Patricia’s thumb


    Because of Patricia, he decided to y the waiting game instead of pulling the plug on the Knotts


    family immediately. It made sense, and it was something she sawing. Ellinor thought momentarily,


    then told Collin, “All right, I’ll tag along. But hold your horses.”


    Collin was a tad puzzled, “What are you waiting for?”


    Ellinor replied, “Just need to clear the air with Haillie


    Collin was even more bewildered. He smelled a rat and was about to probe further, but Ellinor was


    already making her way to Haillie, who was bedridden


    As soon as Ellinor got close, Byran stood up like a watchdog, barring her from approaching Haillie. He


    asked, “What are you up to?”


    Ellinor calmly answered, “I can’tpletely wash my hands of Haillie’s fall, I do bear some


    responsibility. Because I didn’t want to help her fly a kite, she fell and got hurt. So, I should own up to it”


    Hearing Ellinor’s admission, Byran’s strained expression eased a bit He said, “You shouldn’t beat


    yourself up, I know this isn’t really your fault.”


    He noticed it then. When Haillie fell, Ellinor and Belinda were flying their kite in the distance; they had


    nothing to do with it.


    And Haillie did do a number on Ellinor before, so it was understandable that Ellinor didn’t want to help


    her fly a kite.


    However, Haillie, hearing Byran say this, was secretly scoffing at him.


    She knew Ellinor’s actions weren’t all above board, there was another agenda.


    So, Haillie yed up her pain and said, “Ellinor, don’t bother, I don’t need you to own up. It’s your


    prerogative not to help me fly a kite. I won’t hold it against you. I can only me my rotten luck.”


    Ellinor smoothly sidestepped Byran, walked up to the bed, and looked at Haillie’s pained face. She


    firmly said, “No, I must own up.”


    Haillie scrunched up her eyebrows, watching Ellinor warily, and put on a helpless face, “I’ve said you


    don’t need to. Why insist? Ellinor, what do you want from me?”

    Ellinor seemed sincere, smiling and saying “Rx, Haillie. I just want to make it up to you. Will you


    ept my offer?”


    Haillie’s eyes were full of disdain, but she feigned a look of despair and said bitterly,


    “Make it up to me? What can you possibly make up for now? Can you make my foot good as new? If


    not, any form ofpensation is meaningless! Forget it!”


    “I can.”


    Ellinor said these words as light as a feather, pulling all eyes on her.


    Everyone was surprised, intrigued, and filled with doubt and ridicule.


    She said she could.


    The stables doctor also looked at Ellinor with a puzzled face.


    Hearing this, Haillie felt like she was being yed for a fool. It was like a joke that wasn’t funny in the


    slightest. She grieved, “The doctor said my ligament is torn. Even after surgery, it won’t be the same!


    Ellinor, you say you can make my foot good as new? How can you do that? You’re just rubbing salt in


    my wound!”
