Chapter 1031


    Chapter 1031


    After Patricia was taken away by the police, both Dean and Alyssa couldn’t help but sigh.


    After all, Patricia had been their beloved granddaughter for many years, and now she was about to be


    sent to jail for some serious character remodeling. How could their hearts not ache?


    However, they also understood that Patricia was not the little girl they used to know; she had to pay for


    her actions.


    Balfour watched as the police took Patricia away with eyes full of mixed emotions.


    He was both heartbroken and grateful that Ellinor was alive as he looked at the wound on her forehead


    that was wrapped in gauze.

    He couldn’t help but hug Ellinor, “Thank god, you’re still here! Ellinor, I’m so d you’re okay! You


    know, you scared the hell out of me.”


    He tightly held Ellinor.


    She didn’t struggle right away and didn’t show any resistance to Balfour’s behavior, nor did she look


    happy; she just epted it quietly.


    She was okay. She just had some head injuries and lost a bit of blood.


    Ever since she had a close call with a car three days ago, Ellinor had been on high alert. She had even


    sewn a ring of high-resilience sponge padding into her trousers to protect her belly from any


    unexpected idents.


    The head injury was neither severe nor light. Thankfully, the baby was just feeling ufortable from


    the impact. It was nothing serious; she just needed some good rest.


    In the emergency room, she had the doctore out and announce her ‘death’, so she could expose


    Patricia’s true colors and get rid of her for good.


    This way, she didn’t have to constantly be on guard against Patricia. Even though her belly was still


    small right now, when it got bigger in the future, she wouldn’t have time to keep an eye on Patricia.


    Veronica had no idea about the real rtionship between Balfour and Ellinor. She walked over


    unhappily, shoved Balfour away, pulled Ellinor to his side, and grumbled.


    “Hey, Balfour, ever heard of the phrase ‘men are from Mars, women are from Venus’? Even if you have


    any intentions toward Ellinor, you’ve missed your chance! Ellinor is my brother’s girl! You better stay


    away from her!”


    Balfour’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Veronica. Although he was displeased, he didn’t retort.


    Dean and Alyssa shared a knowing smile; they had long noticed Balfour’s unusual attitude towards


    Ellinor.


    Just when Veronica was about to continue her rant about the Howard family, Ellinor pulled her away,


    stopping her from speaking further.


    “Ellinor, why are you pulling me? I haven’t finished badmouthing the Howards! This time, it’s because of


    them that you had the ident and nearly gave Grandma a heart attack! I haven’t settled the score


    with them yet!”


    Ellinor gave her a nce, “If you could just shut up, that’d be great. Let’s go check on Grandma. If


    she’s been frightened, it’s not good.”


    Veronica was a bit dissatisfied, “Huh? You do realize it was you who frightened her, right? Couldn’t you


    have given us a heads-up about your fake death? Do you know my brother almost…”


    Veronica was cut short by the sudden appearance of Theo in the corridor; she didn’t dare say anything


    more.


    Theo was standing at the morgue door with his hands in his pockets while leaning against the wall.
