McNeil Howard stood up and said to his daughter Patricia, âAlright, Patri, if there was a misunderstanding, an apology from the other party would suffice, thereâs no need to have them kneel down.â
Patricia was still adamant about her stance, âDad! Didnât you just have doubts about Mom too? Youâve been with Mom all this time, and you even doubted her Can you imagine how heartbroken she must be? How can she face you in the future?
Thatâs the kind of damage Ellinorâs so-called reasonable doubt has done to our family! Thatâs why I want Ellinor to take responsibility for her actions and apologize to Mom, so she is cleared of the false accusations!â
Balfour sighed in frustration, âEnough! Patri, you Just then, Ellinor cut Balfour off, âEveryone, thereâs no need to speak up for me. If the hospitalâs test results can prove that I misunderstood Mrs. Howard, then Iâm willing to apologize The room fell silent Balfour looked at his sister with a complicated expression.
Thea frowned, unhappy with Ellinorâs decision. He was about to say something when Ellinor, anticipating his reaction squeezed his hand and shook her head at him, telling him not to worry Theo didnât say anything, deciding to wait and see how the situation would unfold, No one else interrupted, and a hint of triumph flashed in Patriciaâs eyes Then, she pretended to wipe away some tears and turned to the doctor Alright. Doctor, can please announce the results now?â
The doctor nodded his expression serious. After our professional examination, we can confirm that the pomegranate juice was freshly squeezed and pure.â
Patricia heard the answer she was expecting. Her heart was filled with satisfaction due to her plan going smoothly The doctor wouldnât expose the true components of the pomegranate juice after accepting her bank card, not unless he didnât want money âEllinor, did you hear that? The doctor said the pomegranate juice was pure, my mom is innocent; you misunderstood her!â
Xenia put on a face of someone who had been wronged but was still willing to forgive. âItâs alright, as long as everyone knows Iâm innocent. Patri, Mom will let it go âNo way! Mom, Iâll get justice for you!â Patricia stood her ground, and her determined eyes fell on Ellinor, âEllinor, please apologize to my mom now!â
The men present all frowned at the same time.
Ellinor gave a slight smirk, âMs. Howard, donât rush, it seems like the doctor isnât finished speaking yet.â
Patricia scoffed internally, she felt Ellinor was just unwilling to accept the results.
âDoctor, this lady seems to have some doubts about your findings, maybe you should explain them to her againâ
The doctor spoke solemnly. The lady is right, I was interrupted before I could finish. Ms. Howard, I hope you wonât interrupt me this timeâ
Patriciaâs face flushed red. âUhâ¦
Why was this doctor being so rude to her after taking her money?
