The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1031

After Patricia was taken away by the police, both Dean and Alyssa couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Patricia had been their beloved granddaughter for many years, and now she was about to be sent to jail for some serious character remodeling. How could their hearts not ache?

However, they also understood that Patricia was not the little girl they used to know; she had to pay for her actions.

Balfour watched as the police took Patricia away with eyes full of mixed emotions.

He was both heartbroken and grateful that Ellinor was alive as he looked at the wound on her forehead that was wrapped in gauze.

He couldn't help but hug Ellinor, "Thank god, you're still here! Ellinor, I'm so glad you're okay! You know, you scared the hell out of me."

He tightly held Ellinor.

She didn't struggle right away and didn't show any resistance to Balfour's behavior, nor did she look happy; she just accepted it quietly.

She was okay. She just had some head injuries and lost a bit of blood.

Ever since she had a close call with a car three days ago, Ellinor had been on high alert. She had even sewn a ring of high-resilience sponge padding into her trousers to protect her belly from any unexpected accidents.

The head injury was neither severe nor light. Thankfully, the baby was just feeling uncomfortable from the impact. It was nothing serious; she just needed some good rest.

"Ellinor, why are you pulling me? I haven’t finished badmouthing the Howards! This time, it's because of them that you had the accident and nearly gave Grandma a heart attack! I haven't settled the score with them yet!"

Ellinor gave her a glance, "If you could just shut up, that'd be great. Let's go check on Grandma. If she's been frightened, it's not good."

Veronica was a bit dissatisfied, "Huh? You do realize it was you who frightened her, right? Couldn't you have given us a heads-up about your fake death? Do you know my brother almost..."

Veronica was cut short by the sudden appearance of Theo in the corridor; she didn’t dare say anything more.

Theo was standing at the morgue door with his hands in his pockets while leaning against the wall.
