The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 839

After being pushed away, Patricia felt like her world was falling apart. Tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

All she wanted was to win Balfour's sympathy through her tears, "Balfour... Why don’t you love me anymore? You promised to love me forever..."

Balfour didn't want to deal with her anymore; he didn't even want to look at her!

If he looked at her again, he would remember how blind he had been to have let a scheming sister like her get away with things for so many years.

"Mr. Howard, don't be mad."

Ellinor handed Balfour a bottle of mineral water, trying to calm him down.

Balfour was taken aback. Seeing the bottle of water Ellinor handed him, he was surprised and touched, then a wave of guilt washed over him, leaving him with a mix of feelings.

Today, he finally saw the true colors of his half-sister, Patricia. How could he not think back on the conflicts between Patricia and Ellinor?

Every time, he almost unconditionally sided with Patricia and hurled insults and misunderstandings at Ellinor, whom he didn't even know was his own sister at the time.

Thinking back, all those incidents were probably deliberately caused by Patricia.

He felt incredibly ashamed!

Balfour couldn't face the bottle of water from his sister, Ellinor, but he couldn't bear to refuse her rare kindness either. In the end, he awkwardly accepted the water, looking at the calm-faced Ellinor with mixed feelings and guilt, "Ellinor, aren't you angry about how they treated you?"

Then she stepped forward, looking at the tear-streaked Patricia with a pained expression, "Look, Ms. Howard is crying so much, it's heartbreaking.

I think the thing about adding saffron to the juice has nothing to do with Ms. Howard. She must have learned about it afterwards, considering that Mrs. Howard made that wrong decision for her. She probably couldn't bear to see her mother being blamed, so she tried to bail her mother out by bribing the doctor.

Isn't that right, Ms. Howard?"

Patricia stared at Ellinor in surprise and had an expression full of confusion. However, since Ellinor's explanation was to her advantage, she nodded.

"Yes... Ellinor is right... I really didn't know about the saffron in the pomegranate juice at first! I only found out after the fact. My mom felt that Ellinor stole Theo from me, and in order to help me get revenge, she did such an impulsive thing... But she's my mom... I was afraid that if my grandparents found out about her actions, they would punish her, so I tried to bribe the doctor, hoping to smooth things over."
