What the hell?
He wished he was the one in the car accident!
At this point, Haillie, who just got off the phone with Patricia, walked back. Out of guilt, she dared not approach Theo, who was sitting on the ground in a daze. So she bypassed Theo and went to Balfour, handing him a bottle of mineral water.
âBalfour, do you want some water? I know youâre upset about Ellinorâs death, but whatâs done is done.
We have to mournâ¦â
Balfour coldly glanced at her and asked, âWhy are you still here? If it wasnât for you, Ellinor would be sleeping at home right now! Get lost! We donât need your fake sympathy here!â
The bottle of water in her hand was knocked away. Haillie was startled and instinctively stepped back, her eyes welled up with tears, âBalfour, does Ellinor mean that much to you?â
Balfour was not in the mood to talk to her, âIâll say it again, get out of my sight!â
Haillie choked up as she said, âBalfour, Ellinorâs death has nothing to do with me! I just asked her to drop me off at my house, but she insisted on taking me to the taxi stand. Maybe some things are just fatedâ¦â
Balfour couldnât stand to hear it. Angrily, he said, âShut up! You better disappear from my sight right now, or donât blame me for settling the score with you and the Knotts family!â
Haillie didnât dare to say anything more. She took a few steps back with wide eyes but didnât leave.
She had to wait here for Patricia, who was on her way to the hospital. Once Patricia arrived, she would surely talk some sense into Balfour and clear up his and Theoâs misunderstanding.
Just then, Theoâs phone beeped twice, indicating a new message.
He didnât bother to check it, remaining motionless like a lifeless corpse. A short while later, his phone beeped again, but he still didnât look.
At this moment, nothing in the world mattered to him anymore. Nothing at all.
Collin stood helplessly by, knowing he couldnât comfort Mr. Blanchet at this time. He could only stand there.
Hearing the text message, Collin lowered his head to glance at Mr. Blanchet. Seeing no reaction, he just sighed.
However, Collinâs own phone also beeped at this timeâ¦
Collin pulled out his phone, and his pupils contracted slightly. Just as he was about to lean over and say something to Mr. Blanchet, Patriciaâs voice suddenly interrupted him!
Patricia had rushed over, panting heavily.
She ran to Mr. Blanchet with a worried look, squatted down, and asked, âTheo, are you okay?â
Theo remained motionless, his hair covering his eyes and half of his face, casting a large shadow that prevented anyone from seeing his expression.
Patricia felt like her heart was being twisted. Choking back tears, she said, âTheo, as soon as I heard what happened, I rushed over! Itâs so unfortunate what happened to Ellinor. Life can be so unpredictable sometimes, and you have to stay strong.â
