Chapter 835
The doctor armed with the lab results, came into the room to inform the patient’s family
As soon as the doctor strolled in with the results, everyone got up and gathered around, eager to hear the news.
The doctor began, “The lab results for the pomegranate juice are in, let me break down what caused the patient’s
stomach to bleed”
Balfour nodded. “Alright, doc, shoot”
The doctor glanced at his report and started, “The ingredients in the pomegranate juice.”
“Hold up!” Patricia suddenly barged to the front, cutting the doctor off, “Wait a sec, doc I’ve got something to say”
Balfour frowned “Patricia, what are you doing? Let the doctor fnish, you can talk later.”

the stick today, and I need to avenge her!”
Without giving Balfour a chance to respond, Patricia spun around and faced Ellinor, “Ellinor, you were suspecting
that Mom’s homemade pomegranate juice made Byran sick, night?
Ellinor didn’t deny it, “Yeah, that’s right.”
Patricia turned to her mom, Xenia, trying to look heartbroken, “Now that the results are in and all that’s left is the
doc’s final word, I need you to promise me something. If the pomegranate juice isn’t to blame, you have to admit
you were wrong about my mom and apologize to her. Clear her name!”
That punishment seemed a bit over the top.
“Patricia, stop it Balfour scolded her
Patricia, with tears welling in her eyes, persisted, “Balfour, I know you think I’m being too much. I’m usually not like
this… but today my mom was misunderstood. I can’t stand it when people get the wrong idea about her!
No matter what Ellinor does to me, I wont allow her to slander my mom!
Balfour, didn’t you always say, whoever messes up should apologize?”
Balfour was speechless, yet he still disagreed. “That’s not…”
“I agree!”
Ellinor cut Balfour off and stood her ground facing Patricia, “Patricia, I promise you. If there’s nothing wrong with
the pomegranate juice, I’ll kneel down here and apologize to Mrs. Howard!”
Her agreement made the three men, Theo, Balfour, and McNeil, all raise their eyebrows
The doctor hadn’t confirmed it yet, and no one could be sure of the outcome. If the juice did turn out to be fine,

Theo wouldn’t stand for Ellinor being treated unfairly
Balfour wouldn’t allow his long lost sister to kneel before anyone, right or wrong.
McNeil Howard just thought it was too extreme and inappropriate. He had some inexplicable feelings for this Ellinor
girl, he couldn’t bear to see her kneel in front of
everyone
However, having her daughter stand up for her and support her gave Xenia some comfort. She feigned injury,
sobbing a bit and wiping away a couple of tears before saying. “Patri, let it go! Ms. Mendoza probably didn’t mean
to accuse me, let’s chalk it up to fair suspicion Let’s not make a big deal out of it
Patricia knew her mom didn’t really mean to let Ellinor off the hook, it was just for show.
She pretended to be heartbroken and said, “Mom, we can’t just let it go! Just now, both Balfour and Dad didn’t
believe you. As your daughter, I have to seek justice for you. How could I stand idly by while a stranger unfairly
accuses you? We can let other things slide, but I pursue this matter to the end!”
