As soon as Patricia heard about the abortion idea, her eyes lit up.
Her mom was right, tonightâs dinner was a golden opportunity. She could sneak some saffron into Ellinorâs food. Letâs see how she could keep the baby!
However, after several failed attempts, Patricia had lost her previous confidence and started to worry, âWhat if someone finds out it was the saffron that caused her miscarriage?â
Mrs. Howard confidently said, âDonât worry about that. If itâs found out, Iâll take the blame. I didnât know she was pregnant, I just wanted her to taste some good beauty and health food, it wasnât intentional.â
With her motherâs assurance, Patricia finally felt relieved, âWait, mom, Iâll get the saffron right away!
Add a lot of it, itâs best if that woman Ellinor bleeds a lot!â
Meanwhile, in Pearlâs room.
Ellinor was lying on the single child-sized bed, observing everything in the room.
She stayed in this room, hoping to remember something.
But, other than the strong sense of familiarity and fragments of memory triggered by the broken music box, she didnât feel anything about the room anymore.
Her phone suddenly rang. When Ellinor picked up, she saw that it was a video call from Theo.
âWhat are you doing?â Theoâs voice was deep, mature, and full.
Theo looked at files while occasionally glancing at Ellinor in the video on the other end.
He seemed very busy, but he still made time to check on her. Did he really care that much about her?
Ellinor lazily said, âIâm resting, getting ready to sleep for a bit.â
Theo frowned, lifted his head from the files, and stared at her in the video seriously, âDid you forget what I told you before?*
Ellinor answered, âI didnât forget! I canât eat outside, I canât sleep outside, and I especially canât drink outside now.â
Theo snorted, âAre you planning to sleep at someone elseâs house for a while?â
Ellinor pouted, âIâm just a bit sleepy, and I havenât even slept yet! Theo, Balfour told me this is the room I used to live in when I was a kid.â
Theoâs eyes were full of heartache as he thought about the possible injustices Ellinor suffered when she was a child, âSo what? Do you want to go back and live there?â
Ellinor shook her head, âNo, I just want to stay in this room for a while to see if I can remember anything from my childhood.â
Theo said, âIf you canât remember, just forget about it. Itâs better to forget the unpleasant past. Iâll be with you in the future, so you just need to focus on that.â
Theo rarely said such touching words.
Ellinor was stunned, feeling warm inside, but she laughed and said, âTheo, wonât your employees think youâre crazy if you say such loving words at work?
Theo glared at her angrily, âDo you realize I only say these words to you? Donât you have any reaction?â
Ellinor laughed happily, she put her hand to her lips and blew a kiss, âTheo, I love you!â
Theoâs naturally cold and handsome face broke into a smile in an instant, âNaughty! If anything happens, remember to call me, and Iâll pick you up.â
Ellinor nodded, âOkay! Iâm going to hang up, Theo. Bye!â
After saying this, she immediately hung up the phone without waiting for his response.
On the other end of the phone, Theo was left speechless.
She was such a mischievous girl, always so quick to hang up!
