Chapter 832


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


    the cor 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 toote.


    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 ss 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?”
