Chapter 295

The cop was really at his wits‘ end!

Everyone had a seemingly valid reason to get in, and he knew damn well be shouldn’t have given them

the nod from the get go

Letting this person in and not letting that person in was a tough nut to crack

Finally, the cop just threw up his hands in exasperation and said, “Fine, fine, everybody in Just keep it

down and don’t interrupt my colleagues work!

Haillie quickly grabbed Bryan and thanked the cop then they slipped in.

The cop gave his forehead a good rub and felt utterly drained

Thankfully, the formal interrogation was done and dusted There was no need to be as uptight as earlier,

so he just let them all in!

Mr. Howard, being the victim’s brother, was still up for grabs as a witness. The higher ups‘ take was to

let Mr. Howard in first to see how he squared up against the suspect.

If it really helped move the case along, they’d haul him back to the station for the formal evidence

submission process.

When people shuffled in, Elinor was reaching for the water cup on the bedside table.

Having chatted away with the cop, she felt a bit parched and needed a sip.

However, with her hands all wrapped up in bandages and still a bit swollen, she was as clumsy as a

bear. Add to that, the cup was as slippery as an eel

The bandages offered no grip, making it a real struggle to grab the cup. Every time she got a handle on

it, it would slip out of her grasp!

Just as she was getting flustered, a hand reached over, picked up the cup, and brought it to her lips.

She lifted her gaze to find the tall and handsome Theo..

There was a straw in the cup, all she needed to do was open her mouth to drink.

Elinor didn’t accept Theo’s offer to help her drink, thinking it was a bit much.

She insisted on taking the cup with her own clumsy hands, one holding the bottom, the other the side.

She got a grip on the cup, then opened her mouth for a sip, soothing her dry throat.

She didn’t forget to thank Theo for his kind gesture. “Thanks.”

Her stubborn yet polite demeanor made Theo frown slightly. He was a bit miffed but didn’t say

anything.

The hand that just passed her the cup moved up and patted Elinor’s head a few times, like a parent

soothing a child, exuding a calming aura.

Elinor quietly sipped her water. After the pats on her head, she looked up at Theo, paused for a

moment, then cracked a small smile.

Theo returned the smile.

That kind of understanding, not needing words to know what the other person was thinking, was

indescribable.

At that moment, Patricia stood by her brother Balfour, watching Theo and Elinor communicate so

naturally without words. Her beautiful eyes clouded over with disappointment. She turned and leaned

into Balfour’s embrace.

Balfour hugged Patricia tightly, patting her back gently to comfort her.

Then, he also looked over at Theo and Elinor, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew Patricia was top–notch in every way, but whenever it came to anything related to Theo, she

became extremely vulnerable.

Every heartbreak and sorrow Patricia experienced was almost always because of that guy, Theo.

And now, Theo, who had already changed his mind, was exchanging flirty glances with Elinor right in

front of Patricia. Wasn’t that just twisting the knife in Patricia’s heart?

Seeing Patricia being treated unfairly, Balfour decided to cut to the chase and interrupt their intense

eye contact, his voice laced with sarcasm: “Miss Elinor, we meet again.”
