Balfour quickly got up and bent over, helping his brother, who had already fainted, "Byran! What's up with you?"
At the moment, Byran was pale as a ghost. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he was grimacing in pain, "Balfour, it hurts..."
"Where does it hurt?"
"My belly... it hurts so bad…"
McNeil and Xenia immediately came over to check on their son.
McNeil kept his cool, "What's going on? Is it appendicitis? Someone, go get the family doctor!"
Xenia was a mess; she squatted down, shaking her unconscious son, and yelling, "Byran! Byran, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mom!"
Ellinor couldn't stand it anymore; she pushed away Xenia, who was shaking the patient recklessly, squatted down, and calmly checked Byran's pulse.
Her eyes darkened as she said, "We need more than the family doctor for Mr. Howard's problem! Call an ambulance!"
Without any exchange of words, Theo had already whipped out his phone and dialed 911.
Dean was anxious, "What's wrong with Byran? He was fine just a moment ago…"
Alyssa was also nervous, "Byran..."
"Dean, Alyssa, the ambulance is on its way. He'll be fine!"
Dean and Alyssa were both shocked by the sudden incident and were being comforted by the servants.
There was a hospital near the Howard family's home, so the ambulance arrived quickly.
"Fred, make sure to take good care of the grandparents; don't let anything else happen!"
Byran was a naive kid, so he had no idea what kind of people his mother and sister were. He voluntarily took the iced pomegranate juice and was an innocent victim.
If Ellinor said she wasn't worried, she'd be lying.
Even if a stranger were in danger right in front of her, she couldn't be indifferent.
If she had known from the start that the pomegranate juice could cause such harm to males, she would never have let Byran drink it!
Theo already understood the relationship between Ellinor and the Howard family, knowing that Byran was her half-brother from the same father. Therefore, he could understand Ellinor's complex emotions.
Even though Byran had caused trouble for Ellinor a few times before, these were all childish acts. He had a good character, and Ellinor never really held it against him.
Although Ellinor didn't express it, she probably already considered Byran as her own brother somewhere deep down in her heart.
