Chapter 845
Byran looked at his tearful mother and comforted her, “Mom, stop crying People who don’t know better would think
I’ve kicked the bucket”
“Yuck! You can’t say such unlucky things” Xenia hastily wiped her tears, “Alright, I’ll stop crying As long as you’re
okay. I can rest easy”
Xenia felt a surge of fear flood over her Thank god Byran was alright
If something had happened to Byran, she would have lost her rock.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and someone walked in.
The four members of the Howard family heard the noise and looked towards the door
It was Patricia returning from her medical check-up, her face was pale, and she seemed a bit out of it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter seeing that her brother was awake on the bed, Patricia’s expression cleared up. She walked over and said,
“Byran, you’re awake!”
Byran nodded, “Yeah, Patricia, I’m all good. But what’s up with you? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Xenia remembered that her daughter also drank the pomegranate juice she spiked with saffron. Although Patricia
threw it up, she still worried that her daughter would suffer any after-effects So she asked, “Patricia, you just went
for a check up, how did it go?”
Mentioning the check-up made Patricia’s color worsen again, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ve had it done, everything is
normal, and there are no issues.”
Xenia still pulled her daughter over, feeling unconvinced. Checking her over, she said, “Patricia, if the check-up was
fine, why do you look like death warmed over? I was so foolish. In trying to have your back, I almost screwed you
and Byran over.”
Patricia got her mother’s drift and played along. “Mom, I’m fine. You can’t be this clueless again. It’s a good thing I
drank that juice, if pregnant Ellinor had it, it would’ve been a big mess.”
Xenia put on a sincerely repentant face, nodding. “I know, I was being an idiot. I swear I won’t do such things
again.”
McNeil Howard and Balfour watched the mother-daughter duo, both a bit disgruntled and disappointed but
seemingly appeased by their act, so they didn’t push further
Byran, however, was clueless about what had happened. He asked, “Mom, what are you and Patricia talking about?
What did you do, and how did it almost hurt me and
Patricia?”
Patricia and Xenia were taken aback. As they looked at a confused Byran, they were at a loss and couldn’t find a
good way to explain the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMcNeil Howard didn’t want his son to be involved in the messy situation. To avoid affecting his mood, he cleared his
throat, trying to change the subject, “Patri, you were gone for so long for your check-up, what tests did they do? I
noticed you look a bit off, did the doctor say anything?”
Patricia quietly answered, “Dad, I’m okay… I just had a lot of blood drawn during the check-up, I’m a bit squeamish
when it comes to blood, so I probably haven’t recovered yet, which is why you think I look off.”
“Where are your test results?” Balfour squinted at her, and he sternly extended his hand, demanding to see the
results.
Patricia faltered slightly, her eyes flickering. “Um… Balfour, I forgot to get the test results; the doctor said
everything was normal, so I didn’t care much about the actual
report”
Balfour, sharp as ever, caught on that his sister seemed to be hiding something. He frowned, ordering displeasedly.
“Go get it now and let me see!”
Patricia chuckled, casually responding. “Balfour, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m really alright, I’ve got no
issues”
